FAITH CAPSULE:Quoting the word of God without understanding does not carry power.
 
Joshua 1

God was speaking to Joshua after the death of Moses when He stated, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9) The word that was spoken to Joshua also speaks to everyone that believes in God. The word of God is true to perform and perfect. The word of God does not return to Him void, but it shall accomplish what pleases God, and it also prospers in the thing for God sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11) By virtue of the authenticity of the word of God that never fail, many often claim and expect God to be with them wherever they go just as He promised Joshua. However, it is lack of understanding and the evidence of ignorance for a believer that does not engage the demand of what it takes for God to be with them everywhere they go. Are you one that claims or confesses the word without being confirmed as one that is living the word of God?
Before God’s promise was laid down for Joshua, God commanded Joshua to engage in what it takes for Him to be with Joshua wherever he goes. God stated, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” (Joshua 1:8) Are you meditating the word of God day and night? The Bible makes us to realize that the word of God is God. Without any doubt, the one that does not stop meditating the word of God day and night is the one that constantly carries God around day and night. The one that meditates is the one that will have God wherever he/she goes. Quoting the word of God without understanding does not carry power for the word to manifest in the life one that quotes the word.
As a believer, if you will begin to consciously operate in the word of God with sincere and desired expectation, the word will bring about manifestation in your life. Many believers are missing it because they are saying it from the mouth and not from the heart. To many, the word of God has become only a signature tune instead of a means to tune heaven into response. Do not be limited by the lack of knowledge; be embedded by the knowledge that is in the word of God. The word of God is true and it is power. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the Word of preservation to reign and rule over your life.
