FAITH CAPSULE: Do you believe that the word of God is God?

John 1:1 confirmed that the word of God is God stating, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Believing the word of God is to be living the word of God. The key of believing the word of God is claiming the promises of God in His word. The promise of God that is blessing does not come to pass by accident but by living life by His word. The promises of God are vast but man is vastly far from living by the word of God that delivers the promises of God.
Believing the word of God to claim His promises are:
Obedient to move by His command; be holy; demonstrate love of God;
Obeying His commandment:
God commandment Abram saying, “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1) Abram did not question God’s command; he did not delay or doubt God’s command. Abram went as commanded and claimed the promises of God which stated, “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:2-3) Abraham’s obedient to the commandment of God provoked the promises of God for his life. Many wants to claim the promises of Abraham but far from allowing the word of God just like Abraham followed the word of God.
Be holy:
Living life by behaving the word of God is what makes man holy. God wants us to be holy as the bible stated, “…but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:15-16) Living holy by the word provokes promises of God as stated, “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” (2 Corinthians 6:16)
Demonstrate love of God:
To believe God is to love and fear God. To believe by demonstrating the love of God will move God to bless man with His promise of blessing. The bible recorded, “If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.” (John 14:14-16) Abraham believed God and love God when he offered Isaac and received promises of God. God is true to His word.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to be living His word by your conduct.
