FAITH CAPSULE: God sent His word for our deliverance and preservation.
Daniel 6
It is written, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” (Psalm 107:20) Apostle Paul could not keep the importance of the word of God to himself alone but endorsed the word as the only builder of man when he stated, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”(Acts 20:32)
Can you commit to the word of God that is power to create and to deliver?
The word of God is still answering just like it was at the beginning. God sent His word for a purpose and never returns back void to God. God testified to His word, “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)
Have you received the word to believe the word as your answer for your deliverance and preservation? Understanding to know that the word of God is very near to us in our mouth and in our heart is the key to receive and believe the word of God. Man that receives and believes the word will work the word of God and be set for exploit to the glory of God.
While in captivity, Daniel was an evidence of one that received and believed the word of God and could not be defiled to violate the word of God through his life. It was the word in the life of Daniel that caused him to do great exploit to the great of God. Among his exploit was his victory over the wickedness that sent him into the den of lions. It is written, “All the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and satraps, the counselors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a firm decree, that whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.” (Daniel 6:7) Daniel did not bow to the law of wicked; he was sent into the den of lions overnight without scratch on him but in the place of Daniel, the wicked ones died in the den of the lions.
The word of God that is written through the bible is not the word of man. The word of God encased the will of God for us to have life. Meditating the word is the way to observe and do according to the word of God. Commit to the word of God to live by every word of God like Daniel did.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to receive, believe and live by the word of God.
