FAITH CAPSULE: What is it that you hold on to, against the word of God?
Genesis 6
The word of God builds.
To whom the word of God locates, receives, and believes the word of God with obedience shall be build-up for the glory of God.
One that does not give regard to the word of God that disobeys the word of God will not be build-up by the word of God.
Psalm 28:5 records, “Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.”
Noah moved by the command of God, and without a doubt, he did not question God.
Noah received and believed the command of God to build an ark that served him as a vehicle against a flood of destruction.
The word of God testifies the obedience of Noah, “Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.” (Genesis 6:22) What is it that you hold on to, against the word of God?
Why not give yourself to the word of God that will build you up?
Obedience to the word of God by Noah was his build-up against the flood of destruction.
In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul identifies what it takes to become built up, “So now brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace which is able to build you up and give your inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” (Acts 20:32)
Will you allow the word of God to build you and your household?
Engaging the word of God with heart shall prompt one to be living by the word of God.
Meditating the word of God is a way to see the word of God and live as a believer.
Joshua 1:8 encourages, “This book of law shall not depart your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
One that does not obey the word of God will not build up but will take a position to falter, fail or fall in the journey of life.
Noah heard to see, receive and become of the word of God.
By the word of God, Noah and his family could not become a victim of the flood of destruction.
Are you giving attention to the word of God or the world?
Allow the word of God into your life, respond as commanded by God to gain the light of God against the darkness that is not of God.
Psalm 119:130 says, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Hear, see, receive to become a vessel of obedience to God.
