KEY SCRIPTURE: John 15:3 KJV” Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.”
The words of Jesus are full of life. They have the ability to transform the heart of anyone who submits to it. The Lord said to His disciples that, the words they have heard has already made them clean. One of the symbols of the word of God, among many others in the bible, is water. Eph 5:26 KJV :”That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,” As men wash themselves with water to keep clean and free from dirt ,God’s word is the spiritual water to wash off wrong and all defiling ways.
There are many people struggling with all kinds of sinful and wrong habits, without knowing what to do. Please take some time to flood your soul with the word. Allow God’s word to flood your mind and heart, and after a while that negative lifestyle world be history to you. For a simple illustration, Let’s consider pouring tap water into a dirty cup over a good length of time. After a while, this dirty cup will become as clean as crystal. As the water Keep pouring into the cup and flowing off, the dirty particles would be gradually carried away, and the cup would be left clean. Stop worrying about your wrong and negative habits, but rather attend to the word and allow it to make you clean and whole again.
If the word has the ability to wash us clean, then when one is to store it in his heart, sin would not take root there in the first place. Psalms 119:11 KJV” Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” One of the ways to do this is to, spend moments meditating over the scriptures, till it is fully secured in your heart. If this approach becomes your normal way of attending to the word you would soon realise that, you are so filled with God’s word such that, sin is an impossibility.
THOUGHT: ATTEND TO GOD’S WORD TO THE POINT THAT, YOU BECOME IMPREGNABLE TO ERROR
