The Efficacy Of His Word
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any twoedged sword...
(Hebrews 4:12)
Our opening verse describes the efficacy
of God’s Word. God’s Word is active,
operative, energizing and effective. However,
someone could render the Word ineffective in his
own life through unbelief and lack of response. For
example, Jesus chided the Pharisees for making the
Word of God of non-effect because of their traditions
(Mark 7:13).
Many today short-circuit the power of the Word in
them, mainly because they don’t know how to respond
to the Word to make it effectual in their lives. God gave
us His Word so we could respond to it accordingly. He
wants us to believe and live His Word. Your response
to the Word is the vocalization of your faith, on the
basis of the Word of God as stated in Hebrews 13:5-6:
“...He hath said…so that we may boldly say….”
Maybe there’s a health condition you wish to
change; what has God said about it in His Word?
Romans 8:11 says, “But if the Spirit of Him who raised
Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised
Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal
bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you” (NKJV).
Respond by boldly declaring: “My body is vitalized by
the Spirit of God who lives in me. Therefore, I refuse
to accommodate sickness in my body. I’m vitalised
through and through by the Holy Spirit.”
Perhaps you’ve been experiencing financial
difficulties; God has said He’s “…able to make all
grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all
sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good
work” (2 Corinthians 9:8). Your response, therefore,
should be, “I’m financially buoyant, because God’s
grace is at work in me for financial abundance; I
have more than enough. I have wisdom for financial
intelligence and wealth multiplication.”
Whatever predicament you seem to be facing
right now, your only recourse should be the Word of
God. The Word of God is faithful and true! Search the
Scriptures for information or instruction that covers
that situation and put it to work; you’ll surely have
a testimony. God’s Word is dependable; trust it and
use it!
Prayer
The Word of faith that changes things is in my heart and in my
mouth, it’s sharper than any two-edged sword; therefore, the
situations and circumstances of life conform to God’s destiny for
me; my success is guaranteed and unstoppable because I live
in the Word. Hallelujah!
