The Programming Of The Word
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all
wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with
grace in your hearts to the Lord
(Colossians 3:16).
1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of
corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by
the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”
You’re a product of God’s incorruptible seed: His
Word. Your origin is in the Word of God. Therefore,
your life ought to be programmed with the Word.
Some people programme their lives for failure, lack,
poverty, and sickness by the words they speak.
Some parents, for example, talk negatively to their
children. Imagine a parent telling a five-year-old child
out of annoyance, “You’re mad.” When the child gets
to fifteen and begins to act in a strange manner, the
parents would begin to wonder what has gone wrong!
They failed to realize that they had programmed that
child wrongly by driving those negativities into his
psyche and into his spirit—through their swear words,
and he had no choice but to act them out, and become
what they said he was.
Be careful what you say, because Jesus said, “For
by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned” (Matthew 12:37). Use the
Word of God to programme yourself for greatness.
God’s Word is powerful. From the Lord’s admonition
in Joshua 1:8, we observe that success in life comes
from meditating on God’s Word. It’s the reason we
emphasize personal study of the Word.
Consciously soak your spirit with the Word. It’s
the only way you can be programmed for excellence,
and for the fulfilment of your destiny in Christ.
Confession
I’m born of the incorruptible seed of the Word of God; therefore,
my origin is in the Word. I stay connected to the Word, which
programmes me for the glorious life in Christ. I succeed in all
things, fulfilling my destiny in God, and riding on the high
places of the earth by the Word of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
