Be Voracious For The Word
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and
to the word of his grace, which is able to build
you up, and to give you an inheritance among all
them which are sanctified (Acts 20:32).
The Word of God gives you much more
than a moral code of conduct; it builds, lifts,
transforms you and catapults you to your inheritance
and destiny in Christ. Proverbs 11:9 tells us that through
knowledge-revelation knowledge of God’s Word-
shall the just be delivered into their inheritance.
Thus, you have to know the Word, store it in you,
and consciously put it to work in your life. That’s your
guarantee of a life of ever-increasing glory. The Bible
says, “...All things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21); that
means there’s nothing you require today that hasn’t
already been made available to you by God through the Word.
This is one reason you must meditate on the
Word. Become voracious in your passion, hunger, and
appetite for the Word. There’s no way of appropriating
the blessings of God to your life without the accurate
knowledge of the Word. We triumph by the Word.
We reign in life through the Word. We win, excel,
and prevail over the challenges of life through, and
with the Word.
The more you study and meditate on the Word,
the more inspired and excited you get about the life
in Christ. The knowledge of God’s Word gives you
an undeniable conviction about the transcendent life
of victory, righteousness, success, and dominion that
Christ has brought to us! Your victory is in the Word
of God, so study it to know it, for only through the
knowledge will you discover and enjoy your glorious
inheritance in Christ.
Study the Word for what it does in your spirit.
The Word in you goes into your spirit, soul, and body,
and become part of your being; making you what it
talks about. When you ingest and digest the Word, it
becomes one with your spirit, thereby enhancing and
improving the quality of your personality. Bombard
your mind with the Word of God, until it completely
inundates your thinking, and your life will go in one
direction only: upward and forward!
Prayer
Dear Father, as I study and meditate on the Word today,
my heart receives it with joy, faith, and meekness, knowing
that my life is being built and my destiny shaped in line with your
perfect will for me. My life is for your glory and beauty because
of the power and influence of your Word in my spirit,
in Jesus’Name. Amen.
