HIDE IN THE LIVING WORD OF GOD!
When the devil thought it was over for the ministry of Jesus on earth, our Lord and Savior rose on the third day. On the third day, the grave of three days led to the birth of new grace. In this third month, if you will continually look up to God for the newness of His mercy, then His grace shall recover all that the enemy has buried concerning your breakthrough.
In this journey of life, have you at any time felt that it is over? Are you experiencing the loss of a ground that has held you high in the community or at your profession? Is it becoming clear to you that there is no way for you to regain your lost ground? Trust and have hope in God for the grace of the third day which answered for Jesus will also answer for your breakthrough.
Experiencing the breakthrough of God’s deliverance and preservation is hiding self in the living word of God.
Among ways of waiting on God is hiding in the living word of God. By waiting on God, it is not possible to become wasted in the journey of life. Waiting on God encourages that God, “…acts for the one who waits for Him.” (Isaiah 64:4)
Are you waiting on God by hiding in the living word of God for His act on your behalf?
Studying to gain understanding in the written word of God will enable one to know and be hiding in the living word of God.
Romans 15:4 records for all man to know that: “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” Having hope is for those who waits on God by hiding in the word of God. If any man will begin to spend time in the word of God as a hiding place continually the agenda of the enemy shall not prevail. In hiding place that is gained in the living word of God there is no way to become exposed for evil agenda.
It is understanding gained in the living word of God that will make one be a believer with prudence. Some verses in the Bible identifies SIMPLE ONES as BELIEVERS while PRUDENCE means one is to be sensible, being cautious in matters. A believer that is not with prudence is a believer that is not complete and limited to gain deliverance available for a believer with prudence. A believer with no prudence is a believer with no mind that considers. Proverbs 14:15 records: “The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers well his steps.” The word of God warned against being a believer (simple one) with no prudence (careful one) as stated: “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.” (Proverbs 22:3) Study to learn and know in the word of God that there is a hiding place in the living word of God if you will be a believer with prudence.One that is not hiding self in the word of God is exposing self to the world of wickedness. Wait on God, hid self in His living word for His deliverance and preservation in the living word of God.
The word of God located Elijah to hid in the living word for his deliverance and preservation.
ELIJAH was commanded by the word of God to HIDE not because God cannot shield him, but Elijah must do his part. Elijah hid in the commanding living word of God as stated in 1 Kings 17:2-3 records: “Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” For Elijah, hiding in the word of God, DELIVERANCE AND PRESERVATION answered. Hiding in the word of God is rooted in full Obedience to the word of God. Elijah’s obedience was his hiding in God’s command when raven was providing bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. (1 Kings 17:6) Begin to hide in the living word of God for your deliverance and preservation.
Jesus demonstrated the need to hide when the challenging situation calls for hiding. Despite the truth that He knows the end from the beginning of His journey through Calvary for His crucifixion, He did not expose Himself to any danger but hide. Matthew 12:15-17 records, “But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great [a]multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. Yet He warned them not to make Him known, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying…” Jesus’ warning not to make Him known is the evidence of not exposing Himself for evil’s agenda to deny the fulfillment of God’s plan. The hiding of Jesus is for all man’s understanding that hiding is wisdom, not foolishness.
