Prove The Word
…prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of
hosts… (Malachi 3:10).
God gave us His Word so we can live by it.
The Word of God has the capacity and ability
to take you through any situation in life victoriously.
Isaiah 43:2 says, “When thou passest through the
waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest
through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither
shall the flame kindle upon thee.” However, you have
a responsibility to prove the Word; to work out the
Word in your life.
Too many Christians go through life struggling
and suffering, when they ought to be living in the
transcendental blessings that have been made available
to us in Christ Jesus. The reason for this is either
because they’re ignorant or just won’t put the Word
to work. You hear of a Christian who was so sick until
he died, and some would say, “Well, sickness comes
to everybody.” No, that’s not true! Hosea 4:6 says,
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge….”
Ignorance is the bane of many.
It’s either we’re Christians in truth or we’re not. It’s
either what we believe works or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t,
what are we doing with it? If it works (and thank God
it does), then let’s keep “working” it. Something you must
do for yourself is to prove the Word of God in your own
life. That way, you can neither be deceived nor miss your
way in life. You have to know for yourself that the Gospel
of Christ that you’ve believed is real.
God isn’t afraid to be put on the spot. Dare to take
Him at His Word. He said in Malachi 3:10, “…prove me
now herewith….” A lot of people don’t understand that
their blessings aren’t in God’s hands, but it’s in their own
hands, because Jesus already did everything needed for
you to be superabundantly blessed. For example, the
whole world has been saved by Jesus, because He died
for everybody, but it’s only those who hear about it,
believe it, accept and confess His Lordship, that receive
salvation.
If you hear the Word and don’t act on it, it’ll not work,
no matter how much that Word inspires you. You must
take the next necessary step of acting accordingly for it
to produce results in your life.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the power of your Word and its
ability to take me through life victoriously. I’m a doer of the
Word of God! As I look into the Word, I’m transfigured into
the realities that I see; pictures and visions of glory, success
and excellence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
