FAITH CAPSULE: Obedience to His word manifests His evidence in one’s life.
Psalm 107
It is written, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” (Psalm 107:20) The word of God is power to heal and to deliver. His word is already here for anyone that will be engaged with the sent word of God for deliverance and preservation.
Are you still waiting for the sent word of God to bring forth your deliverance and preservation? Hebrews 4:12 stated, “For the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” The word of God, by virtue of its power demands precious attention of our time.
Are you giving time to study the sent word of God or you are skimming through the pages of His word?
All that is needed most in this world is the sent word of God. Word of God is for our learning Romans 15:4 admonished, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”
Are you spending time to study the sent word of God or spending more time for the world?
For those that are spending time to study the word of God, the word of God will no doubt work for them in this wicked world of today. However, ones whose spending time for the world is overtaking spending time for the spent word of God will have a need for serious readjustment. Are you expecting the word to answer on your behalf when you have not been answering to the word of God?
The word of God cannot fail and will not fail. The book of Isaiah 55:11 recorded, “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.” The sent word of God is directly from the mouth of God. The sent word of God demands full obedience. Obedience to the word of God manifests the evidence of God in one’s life.
Man can possibly make all the noise quoting the word of God but a failure not to allow the word of God become one’s garment will cause man to become naked and exposed to the wickedness of this world. Romans 10:17 stated, “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Are you in a position to be hearing the word? Is the word sinking into you? When the word is not sinking into man, it becomes impossible for faith to rise. Give self to the word; allow faith to rise and become one who pleases God. Remember, without faith it is impossible to please God.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of the sent word of God to have its place in your life.
