FAITH CAPSULE: Word of God will build man for the glory of God.

Jeremiah 1, John 1:1-18

It is written, ^“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) The same word that brought forth creation is still the same word that is building up those who receive and believe in Him. The word of God is spirit and it gives life. John 6:63, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” It is worth to remember that the same word that created everything is there to give more than we can imagine.
Meditating the word of God constantly will build man for the glory of God. It is one thing to memorize the word, it is another to know to memorize and meditate the word. Knowing the word and not knowing to memorize and meditate is empty; it generates no power. Meditation will cause one to observe and do what the word requires, and there’s simply no substitute for meditating the word. The word of God is power and the word can never deny itself nor fail, but man can fail to have the word work on their behalf. The work of God is in the word of God. The disciples once asked Jesus, “…What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” (John 6:28) Jesus responded, “…This is the work of God that you believe in Him whom He sent.” (John 6:29)
The word of God cannot be compromised if you desire for the word to build you. Just as there is no substitute for food in order for man to grow physically, so there is no substitute for the word to grow spiritually. Jeremiah 15:16 testified that the word is food when he testified, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and your word was to me the joy and the rejoicing of my heart…” (Jeremiah 15: 16) How often or are you feeding on the word of God? When there is no constant feeding on the word of God the word will amount to nothing in man’s built up. When man hears and gives ear to the word of God man is set to be built up for the glory of God. It is written, “Hear and give ear: Do not be proud, For the LORD has spoken.” (Jeremiah 13:15) The Lord has spoken, as a believer, play your part and receive his word that will build you up for the glory of God. Job, after experiencing God’s move in His word, he testifies, “I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You.” (Job 41:5) It is worthy to be hearing His word that will build up man to become a living testimony of one that is built up by the word of God for the glory of God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to be built up by the word of God.
