FAITH CAPSULE: Until a man is built by God’s word it is not possible to answer for divine assignment in life.

Jeremiah 1

Honestly, search self to identify and know what is building you.
The word of God is power and communicates power. The communicating power in the word of God is ardent for transformation for those that can receive and believe in the word of God. The word of God cannot be compromised. Compromising the word is despising the word. Jesus said, “… I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18) As a temple of God, until you are built up by Him, you will not be able to contain what He purposed for your life to carry for His glory. Will you allow Him to build you up for His glory? Jesus made an emphatic statement that He will build His church, and nothing shall prevail against it. Do not prevent yourself from being built but invest yourself in the word that will build you. In Acts 20:32, Paul said “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” Jesus, the word of God is the One that builds and give life abundantly.
How can the word build you?
The word of God must be planted and grow in you. Psalm 119:11, Thy word have I treasured in my heart that I May not sin against thee” Before Jeremiah could become what the Lord wanted him to be, he was built up by the word of God that sounded in his direction. It is written concerning Jeremiah in the book of Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” The same word that identified and called Jeremiah out informed him what he was before he was born. The word of God caused him to begin to see from where he could not see. The word of God prepared him and positioned him into the center of his divine assignment. The Bible documents the word which built him up into boldness: “Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you,’ says the LORD.” (Jeremiah 1:8). The word guided Jeremiah and to be bold for God’s divine agenda for his life. Just like Jeremiah, Ezekiel also encountered the word. “And He said to me, ‘Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.’  Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him who spoke to me.’” (Ezekiel 2:1-2) No man hears God indeed and doubts Him. Having doubt is the evidence for not been built by the word. Allow the word of God to build you.

Prayer for today: Ask God for His grace to enable His word to build you up for His glory.
