The word of God has many attributes that we need to live a successful christian life. As FOOD is to the HUMAN BODY,so is the WORD OF GOD to our SPIRIT MAN. At new birth,our spirit man was at infancy stage. Until the spirit man is fed with the WORD,it remains in this state. A christian cannot afford to stay in this state for a long time else such a person may backslide or never maximize the benefits of being a christian. This article highlights the qualities of God`s words and the need to study,meditate and do all that is stated therein so that we can have ALL that it has to OFFER us
Heavens and earth shall pass away,but my word shall not pass away.
Forever thy word is settled
My covenant will I not break neither alter that which is gone out of my lips.
The word created the heavens and all their hosts. All things were made,fashioned and framed by the word. The world was also carved out by the word.
The word gives light thereby illuminating every dot of darkness. The word is a light unto my path and a lamp unto my feet giving me a sense of direction in all areas of life. As a light to ones path,the word guides and protect one from the pitholes of life.
The word is powerful as it has the ability to pierce to the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit and the joints and marrow and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart. It has the power to heal,save and to deliver.
The word of God endures forever. From ages past,the word of God has been relevant and as it was relevant to the people of old, so it is today. Heaven and earth may pass away but the word remains forever. The glory of a man is likened to the flower of grass and even all flesh are seen in the similitude of a grass. It is a known fact that grasses plus flowers have the potential to wither and even if they wither, the word of God remains till eternity.
The word of God is true. It is true from the beginning and all of its righteous judgment faileth not. The word is true in its approach to all issues of life and it has never failed. It has been tried as a silver is tried in the furnance of the earth and yet it is ever true.
The word of God is pure and free from all forms of impurities. As a silver is tried in the furnace to bring its purity seven times,so is the word of God tried and found to be pure. It is pure to the converting of the soul with a view of blotting and cleansing all sins and to the enlightening of the eyes.
God`s words is LIFE such that believing in them innoculate everlasting LIFE into one while preventing condemnation. The life resident in God`s words is able to deliver from death.
The word of God is freedom and so,it gives freedom. In the beginning,the earth was formless and empty and darkness was on the face of the deep but the word freed her from that bad state. When the people of Israel were afflicted,burdened,beaten and battered by their taskmasters,it was the word that gave unto them their cherished freedom. When the word was sent in the days of old to people,it delivered unto them healing from all form of sickness,diseases and oppressions thereby ensuring their freedom.
The word of God gives wisdom,knowledge and understanding. It is by his words that we are made wiser than our enemies who are always with us. In the same manner,we have understanding than our teachers by the knowledge of God`s words. It is also by his word that we have understanding than the ancient.
The word of God has an inheritance for his people. Accoring as his divine power hath He given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him that has called us unto glory and virtue. Also,we are given exceeding great and precious promises that by these we might be partakers of his divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Every blessing that God has in store for us is accessible by his word. It is the word that is able to build us and give us an inheritance among all that are sanctified.
Every true vision is birthed by God`s words. It is God`s word that will deliver the vision,preserve the vision and see to the fufilment and reality of the vision. For it is the lord that gave the WORD and great was the company of those that published it. HOPE is a propelling force that one needs to have before ones vision becomes a reality and it is the word that makes us to hope.
The word serves as comfort when various kinds of opposition rises against ones life and visions. Words like...SAY UNTO THE RIGHTEOUS,IT IS WELL......ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER UNTO THOSE THAT LOVE GOD AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE....
It is the word that serves as a fortress when it seems that God is far from one and before He makes do his promises towards one.
God has value for his words more than anything. He is able to do things by his word. He values his word more than his holy name. Heaven and earth are permitted to pass away but his words shall always find pratical fufilment in all things. The word that goes out from his mouth can never be manipulated/altered by anyone. Once it has gone forth,it has to accomplish what it is sent to do. As far as God is concerned,every word that proceeds out of his mouth is settled in heaven whether anyone likes it or not.
As God has great regard for his word,He expects the same for it is by doing it that we can access our inheritance from it. The word of God has been packaged in a book called the HOLY BIBLE and it is the oldest book even with the most current information. Everything that pertains to our lives is resident in this sacred book. The truth that will set us free from all the traps of the enemy is resident in thois book. Every attempt that has been made to extinct this book has failed rather,it has found entry into virtually all the nations of the earth because God values his words more than any other thing. The devil is always interested in making this book our worst enemies because he knows that once our eyes are open to the truths that are resident in it,we will be free from his traps. I will like to implore you to have value for God`s words. Having value for the word means holding it in high esteem. It also means taking ones delight in it. When you esteem and delight yourself in the word,you will be interested in reading it at all times. You will prefer to read it more than all the worldly magazines that the enemy wants to use as a substitute for God`s words. It is when you take the step in reading the book that you will find the need to meditate on those precious words.
Meditating on God`s words means reflecting on or ruminating over God`s words. It is real meditation that gives genuine revealation and it is revealation that delivers our inheritance in God unto us via his written words. That is the reason why "Blessed is the man that has no business with the ungodly,nor with sinners neither with the scornful but his delight is in the law/words of the Lord and on it doth He meditate day and night. For He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water which bringeth his fruit in due season;his leaf shall not wither;and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Joshua keyed into this secret and he was a success in his time.
Meditation naturally leads one to doing God`s words. It is the doing of God`s words that pratically moves him to do what He has promised as stated in his word.
*****But whosoever looketh unto the perfect law of liberty and continueth therein,he being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the word,this man shall be blessed in his deeds.
It is being doers of the word that removes the reproach and contempt of the evil-one having been clothed with divinity contractible by His word.
This is an admonition that the time has come to embrace God`s word. It is a sure word of comfort in a world of challenges like ours. It is a sure word of hope as we expect all of His promises unto us. It is a sure word of healing unto the broken and bleeding hearted. Embrace God`s word today.
