FAITH CAPSULE: Man that is empty of the word of God will miss in the position of deliverance.
Psalm 107
As an acclaimed believer, what is it that you are feeding on? Whatever a man feed on is what a man carries and not become empty. Anyone that is empty will always have empty talk because one cannot give out what one does not carry in the inside. Man that is empty of the word of God will miss in the position of deliverance. The word of God is here for healing and deliverance from destruction. (Psalm 107:20) The word of God, the commandment of God is like food and Job 23:12 testified the importance of His word more than food as stated, “I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.” (Job 23:12) Without doubt, the word of God should be taking in as food as Jeremiah 15:16 stated, “Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts.”
Are you empty of word of God lately? Is your talk not producing results of a child of the Living God? God does not listen to empty talk. Job buttress in Job 35:13, “Surely God does not listen to empty talk, nor will the Almighty regard it.”
Can you afford to be empty?
When one becomes empty, one will end up wasted because wickedness will come in and dwell in one that is empty. When you first turned your life to God, He gave you deliverance. With God’s deliverance, you are to be filled up by His Word. Now you are back to being empty because you have turned aside. What happens to being empty is mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 12: 43-45, “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.” Be filled by the word of God as food. It is time to come out of emptiness and not become wasted in the face of wicked world. Do not forsake word of God but take to the word of God as necessity. He is a merciful God; He will not forsake you but turn to God. Allow His word to upgrade your emptiness to powerfulness.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God to keep you to be feeding on the word of God for healing and deliverance from destruction.
