YOU AND THE WORD

           



Pastor Cheri 



Every time you come to Church, you hear the Word,  you hear it in your Cell groups, you hear it in your Church group meetings, you even study it at home by yourself. You can see the Word coming to you in different ways, you are not left without the Word.

Moreover, you are surrounded with platforms which always bring the Word to you, so you are not left without the Word.

This is because the Word is food for your spirit.
"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:"
1 Peter 2:2
Your spirit gets it's food and nourishment from the Word. You feed on the Word so you can grow spiritually. Lack of this would lead to malnourishment of your spirit. This affects your input, you are not able to do the things you should be doing spiritually, stagnation sets in, then you remain stagnant in the spirit realm  and since the spirit realm controls the physical, it begins to affect you physically. You are not able to do your Church chores physically. Your Church chores are your Church responsibilities, things that have been assigned to you in Church. These things begin to go down as you malnourish your spirit-man.  You become spiritually unhealthy. This is not a good state for the child God. So you have to always surround yourself with the Word. It is should form a part of your daily life.  You should be found with the Word 24/7.

The Word is there to lead you, you cannot get direction without the Word.
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalms 119:105
A man without the Word is a man without direction. So, to be led in life, you must have the Word with you always.

When you have the Word leading you, everything falls in place, everything about your life is balanced. Hallelujah!

The Word of God should get you excited. David said, "I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil." Psalms 119:162.

What does the Word mean to you? How excited are you about the Word?

When the Isrealites went to war, after the war, they took with them the riches of their opponents. This is the spoil David was talking about.  This was what the Word was for David. What is the Word to or for you?

The Word of God is the Wisdom of God. Has the Word become wisdom to you? If the Word has become wisdom to you, you'll deal with the affairs of life wisely. Wisdom would be revealed in all that you do.

"The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple."
Psalms 119:130. The Word can give understanding to a foolish person. The Word can make a foolish person wise.

If you are a student, the Word can teach you your studies, it can explain Mathematics,  English, Physics and Chemistry to you. The Word knows it more than the teacher or lecturer, there is more Wisdom with the Word in this area. So, better to depend on the Word in this area than the lecturer and the books. The Word is all-knowing. The Bible says, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come." John 16:13. This can also be achieved in your academics.

He will teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance.
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance...." John 14:26.

This two Scriptures are referring to the Holy Ghost who is the Word of God.  Hallelujah!

The Bible says, "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:" 1 Corinthians 1:30. This cannot happen without the Word, our wisdom is from the Word.  This makes you a wise person, you have the embodiment of wisdom in you, you should therefore not lack ideas in any area of all that you are involved in. This is how a wise person is known. It should even be more since this wisdom is coming from the Word.  Hallelujah!

God can't do anything in your life without His Word.  Every thing He says, does a even utters is His Word.

In John 1:1, the Bible says,
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

God and His Word are one. We can see that from the Scripture above. The Word is God and God is the Word. So whatever He does, it's the Word doing it. The Word created this earth, the Word made you. You are a product of the Word! Hallelujah!
You hail from the Word! Glory to God!

Many have had their lives plagued by different challenges they never knew how they came about. They've tried different ways to put an end to the crisis of life they've experienced, to no avail.

At every point in time, you should check yourself with the Word, how have you been able to put the Word to work in your life. Is the Word being manifested in your life? Are you a doer of the Word?

There are things that put you over in life and one of them is doing the Word. Make a conscious habit of doing the Word so you can enjoy the benefits of having the Word working in your life. Praise the Lord!

Lift up your hands and worship the Lord, thank Him for His Word.
