REJOICE IN THE WORD

REJOICE IN THE WORD OF GOD

 Scriptural Highlight: (Psalm 119:162) - "I rejoice at your word like one who finds great spoil."

From the gospel of John, chapter 1, we can deduce that the Word of God is not just what was spoken but a person: the Word is Jesus; the Word was in the beginning with God; all things were made through Him; the Word is life; the Word is the light of men; and the Word has dominion over darkness. 

So from our scriptural highlight for today, we can see the reaction of Brother David: he rejoices when he catches a revelation from the word of God. Since the word of God is a person, when He is revealed, divinity is revealed;  because the word of God was in the beginning, Moses caught the Word and he wrote the book of beginnings; since through the Word, God created things, when the Word is revealed creative miracles also take place; since the Word is life, anyone who receives the word of God receives eternal life; and since the Word is light, it gives us power to dominate darkness. This was why David rejoiced at the word of God. Because in the Word of God he has the answer to every human question.
There is a great man of God we read about today: In his lifetime, whenever there was any issue in the ministry, he would go into meditation on the word of God. Then suddenly when he sees a revelation from the Bible, he will run round the house celebrating. He will shout, "we have found the solution from the word!"; and just like that the solution would come.

In our days, it seems we celebrate our club's victory more than the word of God; we celebrate business breakthrough more the word of God. But the word of God is the treasure of life, nothing can take its place, not even singing, not even the entertainment that seems to be taken over pulpits. It amazes me that if you enter some congregations, entertainment, singing, announcements, fundraising are being given topmost attention than the word of God. How can the saints that are supposed to be equipped for the work of ministry according to Ephesian 4:12 be empowered. Nothing works in kingdom outside of the word of God. Everything will be tried by fire, only the works done by the word of will remain unconsumed. Are we condemning the other activities? No. The word of God teaches that everything should be done in moderation. The early disciples gave themselves to the teaching of apostles and the Church prospered. 

True deliverance takes place when the truth of the word of God shows up in a man's spirit. Jesus said in John 8:32, "And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." In the euphoria of prophetic we see these days, and the amusements, there is always the temptation to wonder off,  but the word of God is always first, and must be given first place. Beloved, go for the word, rejoice in it, it is your strength. Flourish!

Pray: Lord, let your word show up and prevail for me in any circumstance in Jesus name.


Further Scriptures on the Word of God
  • Mathew 22: 29 -Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
  • Hebrew 4: 23-13 - For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
  • Jeremiah 23:29 - "Is not my word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?
  • John 12:48 - There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.

GO BY HIS POWER

  GO BY HIS POWER Scriptural Highlight: (Philippians 4:13 ESV) - "For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." God has the ability to empower you to do any assignment for His kingdom. Being a disciple for Christ requires extraordinary strength and power. Bible admonishes us in Ephesians 6:11-12 to: " Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." From this scripture, we see that evil have forces that enforce its influence over people. Merriam Webster' Dictionary defines an aspect of force as "a body (as of troops or ships) assigned to a military purpose". So the spiritual forces we saw in Ephesians 6:12 have one purpose, and that is to make sure that evil is reigning in the ...

What Image are you carrying?

Scriptural Highlight: ( Genesis 5:3 ) - "When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth." Our scriptural highlight for today is about the generations of Adam after creation. Reading down from verses 1 and  2 of this Genesis chapter 5, we can see that when God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Man was made in God's image; and as God's image was meant to reproduce God's image as well. You can say that man was god on earth. Man operated in a realm higher than any other creature. Man was in a class of his own. Man remained God's image until he disobeyed God. From our scriptural highlight today, what we see is that when Abraham had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image. What happened to the image and likeness of God in which he was created? It has been lost through sin. The nature he now carried was his own image and not God's.  His own offspring ...

Your Kidney Deserves The Best (Re-Post)

Barely two (2) days ago, we all received the news of the demise of a Nigerian actor as a result of same kidney disease. I want to show you how to avert this menace of kidney disease. Very easy and effective. And don't forget that I copied it. So feel free to share, copy and disseminate. SO HERE ARE THE TOP 6 CAUSE OF KIDNEY DISEASE: 1. Delaying going to a toilet Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder damage. The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria quickly. Once the urine refluxes back to the ureter and kidneys, the toxic substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infections, and then nephritis, and even uremia. When nature calls – do it as soon as possible. 2. Eating too much salt,You should eat no more than 5.8 grams of salt daily. 3. Eating too much meat.
