FAITH CAPSULE: What you feed on is what becomes of you.
John 1:1-18
Just as sweet as the name of Jesus sounds in the believers ear so is the Word of God to those who embrace the Word of God. Psalm 119:103 testifies, “How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! Jeremiah confessed, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart…” (Jeremiah 15:16) Are you finding out that the word of God is sweet for consumption? The sweetness of the word makes it available and bitter but sweet enough to be consumable for those who will embrace it. The Bible also testifies, “But the Word is very near in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.” (Deuteronomy 30:14) Anyone who is having the word in their mouth and in their heart will do the Word. Many does have the word in their mouth but fall short of having it in the heart and that makes it impossible for the Word to work the work of God in their life. Also, the ones who know to do the Word will undoubtedly know how to call on the Word of God for use whenever challenges are demanding. Psalm 107:20, He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” The same Word of God that was sent is the same that is near our mouths and we are to use it as a weapon for defense against all that the enemy brings in our direction.
It is written, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-3) The Word of God is God.The Word has never stopped coming to us since the beginning. The Word that has been made available will only be available if our hearts have been available for the Word to reign and rule. The Word of God is true and is power. The Word will work for those who work the word by their walk in it while living in this world of wickedness. This is the same Word that God Himself testified stating, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11) What you feed on is what becomes of you. Allow the Word of God become your daily bread.
