FAITH CAPSULE: Communicating power in the word of God is the ardent for transformation.
John 1
It is written, “Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted. Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” (Psalm 107:17-20) The same word He sent to them for their salvation from self-destruction is available for whosoever wants to be healed and be delivered from the effects of foolishness. The word of God is power that can never be reduced neither can His word return to Him void without performing that which He came for. John talked about the word, “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)God in His questioning identified His word in Jeremiah 23:29, “Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
The word of God is power and communicates power. The communicating power in the word of God is the ardent for transformation for those that are able to receive and believe in the word of God. The word of God cannot be compromised. Compromising the word of God is disobedience. It is disobedience to despise God’s word.
Proverbs 13:13 cautioned us, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”Despising the word of God is also a demonstration of lack of fear for His commands. Obeying God leads to obtaining the blessing of obedience from God while disobeying God is engaging the curses of disobedience.
Compromising the word is denying self from becoming a build up for God. Jesus is the builder and He stated in Matthew 16:18, “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Are you willing to be built up by His word? As a temple of God, until you are built up by Him, you will not be able to contain what He purposed for your life.
Jesus made an emphatic statement that He will build His church and nothing shall prevail against it. Do not prevent yourself from being built but invest yourself in the word that will build you. Jesus, the word of God is the One that builds and give life abundantly.
Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to find a place in every area of your life.
