Working The Word
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even
to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of
the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart
(Hebrews 4:12).
It makes no difference your present level in life;
perhaps your current situation is so dire that you
no longer see a way out. I have good news for you: the
Word of God can lift you from where you are to your
next level of glory and success. Read our opening verse
again and see part of the ministry, ability, and efficacy
of the Word in your life. The Word can build your faith
strong; it can build every aspect of your life.
But the question is: how do you make the Word
work for you? It’s by personalising it and responding
accordingly. Personalising it means you take it as God’s
Word to you personally, and then act accordingly.
The Word won’t work for you just because it exists
in the pages of the Bible; you have to work it out.
Philippians 2:12 says to work out your own salvation;
use the Word to create and sustain your victories in life.
Every time you study, hear or meditate on the Word,
take possession of it; apprehend it and make it yours,
and it’ll become a force in your spirit that causes you
to speak and act accordingly.
Once you’ve taken a hold of it and allowed it to
settle in your spirit, something powerful will result, as
seen in the very words of the Lord Jesus: “If ye abide
in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what
ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7).
This means that with the Word in you, you can ask
anything you want, and even if it doesn’t exist, it’ll be
created! The Word in your mouth is a creative force;
it’ll bring forth miracles. Hallelujah!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me your Word as the material to
build my faith strong, and cause circumstances to conform to
the life of glory and limitless potentials I have in Christ.
I thank you for your blessings and my glorious inheritance in Christ,
which I blissfully enjoy, in Jesus’Name. Amen.
