FAITH CAPSULE: What is it that you are giving self to in this wicked world?
John 1:1-18, Luke 19:1-10
It is written, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1) “But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.” (John 5:38) “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)
Above verses in the bible is more than enough for man to give self to seeking the word of God as unfailing source for encouragement in this wicked world of darkness. Jesus is the living word of God. Giving self to the word of God is getting rid of darkness. John 1:4-5 encouraged, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
What is it that you are giving self to in this wicked world? All that a man need is to give self to the word of God which is the truth for freedom. John 8:32 buttressed, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Jesus, the word of God is the truth and he confirmed as stated, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life…” It is important to seek the truth; to know the truth and give self to truth.
Allow the word to be your motivator as you seek Him diligently because those who seek Him will find Him. Zacchaeus is the evidence that when man seek Him diligently, He is faithful to answer us. Zacchaeus sought Jesus and Jesus located him and He ended up visiting Zacchaeus in his house. Zacchaeus had everything in place not to have a need to seek Jesus. He was a tax collector, a rich man; the crowd was a great factor to deny him because he was short in stature. Despite all the factors that could deny him, he was encouraged to seek Jesus. Zacchaeus was encouraged to run ahead of the crowd. After running ahead of the crowd, he was encouraged to climb the tree. Jesus who sees all saw Zacchaeus. It is written, “And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” (Luke 19:5). Be encouraged!
Are you experiencing invincible hindrances? Unexpected challenges? Be encouraged in the word of God. God has not forgotten you, He never sleeps nor slumbers, but He will gain honor in His deliverance plan for your life. Allow His word to enter and you shall not be disallowed from your breakthrough miracle. Above all you shall possess your possession. Allow the word to be your motivator as you seek Him diligently because those who seek Him will find Him.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to know and be encouraged in the word.
