Life In 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).
God’s Word doesn’t just give life, it’s life. Jesus
said, “It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the
flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto
you, they are Spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63).
When you’re studying or listening to the Word, life is
either imparted to your spirit, or your spirit is being
built and educated. Only the Word of God has the
ability to do this.
It makes no difference the predicament you’re
in; all you need is a word from God, because all of
God’s power is wrapped up in His Word. Hebrews
4:12 (ASV) says, “For the word of God is living, and
active...”; that’s the reason it can transmit and impart
life, for the Word of God is life in itself.
It doesn’t matter that you’ve been told your womb
is dead and as a result you’ll never be able to conceive.
With the Word, that womb will come back to life! It
doesn’t matter that you were told you’ll never be able
to walk again, due to paralysis; the Word will give life
to your limbs! You might say, “Is it that simple?” Yes,
it is! As long as you settle in your heart that the Word
never fails, and you hinge your faith on it, it’ll rid you
of all anomalies.
Remember the words of Jesus that we read; He
said, “…the words that I speak unto you, they are
spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63); and we’re like
Him. The Bible says as He is, so are we in this world
(1 John 4:17). When Jesus spoke to maimed limbs,
they grew back. When He spoke to corpses, they
came back to life, because He’s the Living Word; His
words transmitted and imparted life, and we’re just
like Him.
The Bible says, “Being born again, not of
corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word
of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter
1:23). The Word gave birth to us, thus making us the
Word in flesh, just like Jesus. No wonder Paul in 2
Corinthians 3:3 calls us the epistle of Christ.
Give life to the dead, and to hopeless situations
with your words.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the efficacy of your Word in my life.
I’m born of your incorruptible Word; your Word is my life, and
through the power of the Spirit, I impart and transmit life;
I dispense your grace and goodness everywhere, in Jesus’Name. Amen.
