HOW HIS WORD WORKS IN US  

KEY SCRIPTURE:2Pe 1:4 KJV” Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

The bible teaches us that, His word is His means of working on the earth. At creation, God spoke various things into existence. He said, let there be light and there was light. Heb 11:3 KJV “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” The Lord Jesus taught us that, the flesh profits nothing, it is the word that gives life, the words that speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” John 6:63.

Now knowing the word of God is Spirit, how does it produce results in us? When one hears the word of God and believes it, a transformation process takes place. The spiritual nature of the word transforms that individual from his ordinary natural human condition to whatever the word is talking about.2nd Peter 1:4, put it this way, 2Pet 1:4 KJV” Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” The above scripture says we become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Lust can mean, unbelieve, or any way we allow the flesh to dictate to us. When the heart of a man takes in the word, it imposes its supernatural impact on that person and makes the person the very thing the word is. He or she becomes a partaker of the divine state of the word.

The word of God also acts as a seed. If one believes in what it says, he has planted that seed in His heart. So long as unbelief or doubt does not fight out the word from the heart, it will surely grow to bear fruit in line with what it talks about. Isaiah 55:11 KJV” So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” The scripture calls on us to keep the word in our hearts. The Lord also taught that when the word is accepted into a good heart, that is the one which would not give up on the word because of difficult times or allow the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches or lust of the things in the world to choke the word. If he allows the word to grow freely it would surely produce results. Mark 4:15-19.

Do you need a miracle or a change in some aspect of your life?  Find what the word says about that particular thing. Keep it in your heart, by daily affirming that you have that thing. Refuse to yield to any contrary situation, you will surely have what you have believed.

CONFESSION.

God’s word is His means of relating with men on this earth. I accept His word on whatever matter of concern. I keep the word in my heart, saying and doing what it says. God’s word always produces whatever it talks about in me.

THOUGHT: THE WORD OF GOD HAS BOTH TRANSFORMING AND FRUIT-BEARING ABILITIES, KEEP IT IN YOUR HEART, BY BELIEVING IT.

LIVING A MEANINGFUL LIFE.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:74 KJV” That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.”

Many have questioned privily in their hearts, asking, is life meaningful at all? What is the meaning of living? A good number of people have gone for pleasure, amusement, and what have you, yet like King Solomon wrote, all is vanity upon vanity. Many more have plunged themselves into absolute darkness by taking God, who is the cause and essence of life out of the picture. This is the misery of billions of humans who are only wanderers in this life.

Well, life is very meaningful if one comes to terms with the plans and programs of God. Rev 4:11 KJV” Thou art worthy, O Lord,) to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. God created all things for His pleasure. The joy, benefit or importance of any created thing, is to live out what it was made for. You can’t use your pen to slice plantain. A pen is only meaningful if it is used to write

Our key scripture gives us the order to live this meaningful life. That scripture is in two parts. First a deliverance from our enemies. Secondly, we are to serve God in holiness and righteousness.

Men, because of sin were under the bondage of our enemies, the devil, and his cohorts.  This was the reason, the Lord Jesus came; that He might deliver us from Satan’s bondage, through His death and resurrection. Everyone must access this liberty by accepting Jesus as Lord. The second part is to live in holiness and righteousness all the days of our lives. If we have been delivered from Satan’s dominion, then it is just right that we live free from every control or influence of the wicked one. This is what holiness is about. Holiness is simply separation from Satan and everything he stands for and rather to live for God.

À meaningful life is to know God personally and do those things that glorify His name. We are the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God has ordained that we walk in them. A life dedicated to being a blessing would certainly be a happy and meaningful one. Refuse to be selfish ‘for selfishness is the mother of all sorrows ‘ E W Kenyon. According to Rev 4:11, GOD created us for His pleasure. We please Him if our lives please Him. It is in pleasing Him that we find meaning in this life.

A meaningful life is one dedicated to God serving Him in love and free from all satanic controls, both in actions and other forms of manipulations. Any form of satanic dominance in an individual’s life should not be tolerated and must be checked out.

CONFESSION

I am living a very meaningful life, for I am free from all satanic controls and have love for my heavenly father. I walk in uprightness and exercise dominion over every work of Satan in any shape or form. My life brings glory to the Father and I am blessed ultimately.

DEALING WITH FEAR.

KEY SCRIPTURE:2Co 10:5 KJV” Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

Life keeps offering various forms of challenges. Various difficulties come along with the threat it may pose to us. These matters can leave many very fearful. No child of God should live under the fear of any condition. Luke 1:74 KJV” That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,” This is one of the reasons the Lord came. A number men live under the dread of certain diseases as they grow old. Some with certain hereditary diseases are also subjected to the fear of those things. No matter how real that condition might have been, your place in Christ means there should no more be any fear or dread of that thing. Isaiah 8:12 KJV Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself, and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.”

God alone should be our fear.

Fear is simply faith in the ability of the evil one. The answer to this is to place your faith in God.

The assurance of the scriptures for a change of any condition is as follows. Mark 9:23 KJV” Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” According to the Lord, that condition is never as hopeless as you may think. He says if you can believe in God and His word, you can have the results and the change you want. Hallelujah! Stop feeling hopeless and start feeling hopeful. God has further promised that “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11. said His word would prosper in the heart of anyone who keeps it there. The word about healing would prosper to give healing. The word about protection would prosper and bring protection. All it needs is to keep it firmly in the heart.

How can one keep the word in his heart? When you hear the word or you read the word, believe it. The next is to keep saying what you heard. It is agreeing with God about what he has said. Any time you repeat that word on your lips, your heart is strengthened about what you have believed, God hears what you are saying and responds positively, while Satan is shaken each moment he hears you say that word. Such an act keeps the word in your heart, and according to Isaiah 55: 10 and 11, it will surely prosper in you. Dearly beloved, let your heart be free from EVERY fear you have ever entertained or anticipated and enter into your realm of the miraculous in Jesus’ name.

CONFESSION

I have no fear in me. I have faith in God and His word. God’s word in my heart is active and powerful, fulfilling whatever it talks about. I am blessed in every way. Nothing is impossible to me in Jesus’ name.

THOUGHT: MAKE JESUS THE BIGGEST, AND EVERY OPPOSITION WOULD BE NOTHING.

HOW FEAR BECOMES REAL

KEY SCRIPTURE:1Jn 4:18 KJV” There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”

The Bible is filled with about three hundred and sixty-five fear-nots. This means one ‘fear not’ is to go for each day. It also suggests fear is very dangerous, and should never be entertained by any child of God. What is fear? Fear is a feeling of insecurity as a result of an unfavourable condition or the mind just anticipating danger, whether real or not. Fear is also faith in the evil one. Or believing the ability of the evil one. We learnt in our last study that, when a man believes in a thing, he or she has received the condition into his heart, and could be described as planting the event in his heart. It will take a matter of time and that event will be materialised. In light of this, the man who fears about an evil event has also planted the event in his heart, waiting to be manifested in due time. Nobody wants to see the very things he or she is afraid of come to pass. Sadly, the event would surely manifest, if you do not kill it from your heart. This is what makes entertaining fear very dangerous.

Let’s consider the statement of righteous man Job, in Job 3:25,26.” For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet, yet trouble came.” Just consider what he said. The very thing he was afraid of has come into reality. Was it God who allowed it or it came out of his own doing? From our discussions Job had borne these issues in his heart and it only came to fruition when the time was due.

What must one do when fear seems to take hold of you? See fear as an enemy that has come to destroy you. Refuse it vehemently. Give no word to it. Job said he kept saying, I am not saved, and have no rest. He allowed such negative words of fear to be planted in his heart. The whole thing came to fruition when Satan took advantage of the situation. Please be careful about what you say, for death and life are in the power of the tongue (Prov 18:21).

If fear wants to take hold of you, go to the truth that the word says about that particular condition, and keep saying what the word says and not what you feel Decide to believe what the word says. Fear would soon give way to faith.

Sanctify the Lord in your heart. Each time fear seems to dominate you, remember the Lord is with you, and He is far greater and superior to every danger. Place your full trust in Him. He says: Isa 43:2 KJV When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Remember again that His faithfulness is unto all generations.

CONFESSIONS

I give absolute attention to the word of God. When fear seems to take the best of me, I refuse to allow it to control me. I give my attention to the word and keep declaring what the word says. I have nothing of the wicked one in me.

THOUGHT: FEAR IS NOT AUTOMATIC; IT IS A CHOICE. CHOOSE TO TRUST THE LORD.

LET THE WORD RICHLY FILL YOU.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Col 3:16 KJV “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

It is the perfect will of God that every child of God is richly filled with the word of God. The word of God is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path Ps 119:105. The word keeps the darkness away helping us to make our way through life. The Bible calls Satan the God of this world. In light of this, the devil has influenced the systems of this world. People go into politics, and because of evil voodoo powers, they have to secure their positions by also getting these voodoo powers. The rule of the god of this world has permeated every aspect of our world. The only means to live above it is to guard your path according to the word of God.

The advice of scripture is to let the word of Christ feel you richly. Please note cramming the scriptures into your heart is not the main idea. It is all about knowing the word and being submitted and ready to believe what you have read or learned. THE SCRIPTURE YOU KNOW IS THE ONE YOU BELIEVED. Study, meditate, and listen to inspired messages, yet the scripture that fills you is the one you have believed. That is the scripture you would be ready to apply when Satan comes knocking on your door. The scripture said submit to God resist the devil, and he will flee

from you. James 4:7. It is the word in your heart that you have submitted to that the devil will flee when you apply.

During the Second World War, American soldiers visited a location that received some pounding of bombs from the German army. Everyone had vacated the area, yet they found a building with one room that was closed. They forced it open, only to find an old woman sleeping heartily. They woke her up and asked madam, are you not aware of the bombs that rocked this place, and you are fast asleep as if nothing is happening? She answered them, Why should I be awake when He who watches over me is awake? She in effect quoted, Psalms 121:3 KJV, “He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.” This woman was richly filled with this very verse and so could not be moved. Get some scriptures and hang your life on them, and nothing will move or overcome you.

CONFESSION

I fill my heart with the word. As much as study the word in a broad sense, I keep what I study firmly in my heart, ready to apply it, in times of need.

THOUGHT: THE SCRIPTURES YOU HAVE BELIEVED, IS WHAT WILL PUT YOU OVER SATAN’S ATTACKS

POSSESS YOUR BLESSINGS

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matt 11:12 KJV “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.”

As we enter a new month and even stay in the new year, there will be lots of us praying or calling on the new month or the new year to bring along with it, good tidings and all kinds of good wishes. It is very good to wish for great and good things, yet wishing is always not enough. We must move from wishing to possessing those blessings. Our key scripture stated that since the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of God has suffered violence. The word suffer is an old English word meaning ‘allow’. It should read, the kingdom of heaven has allowed violence, and violent men, take it by force.

How do they take it by violence? This is how believing and hoping comes into the issues of discussion. When we wish and pray that the new month brings blessings, this is hope. Hope is always an expectation or anticipation. Hope sees the issue in the future so that things may never be realised. What we need to do is that after wishing for a better month, or new year, we must reach out with our faith and take hold of what we anticipate to have in the future. To believe is to take hold of the thing in your heart. The principle of this life is sowing and reaping. When you believe, you have a thing, you possess that thing, like it has been planted in the heart. To wish for it means you only expect it, yet, you have not possessed it, and so it has not been planted in the heart. You cannot be certain about what you are wishing for, but you can be sure of having what you have believed in.

The scriptures said in Proverbs 4:23, that the issues of life proceed from the heart. Whatever you have believed has been planted in your heart, and so would surely come forth in due time. Please do not only wish for great tidings, you must also believe that you have them. After believing you can also take some practical actions to make it a reality. The following verse explains how these things function. Mark 4:26,28 KJV And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

Do possess your expectations and make them a reality for you.

CONFESSION

Thank God for the new month and the coming new year, I do not only wish for new blessed things, but I possess them through my faith in you. As I take hold of them, they manifest in my life and experience in Jesus’ name.

THOUGHT: DO NOT ONLY WISH FOR GOOD THINGS RECEIVE THEM IN YOUR HEART.

LIVING BY THE WORD OF GOD

KEY SCRIPTURE; Mat 4:4 KJV” But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

When Satan attempted to tempt the Lord to turn stones into bread, the Lord answered him, by saying man should not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. All physical things, that men do rely on or use came from the word of God. He said all things were made by the word, and without it, nothing was made John 1:3. This makes the word superior to every physical thing that we may depend on. We complicate matters for ourselves when we neglect the word to do our own thing. What Satan was asking the Lord to do was to act against the word and turn stones into bread, to satisfy His hunger.

To live by the word is to always seek what God’s word says about anything before, embarking on it. John 1:4,5 reveals that there is life in the Word, and this life is the light of men. The light is the master of darkness or all satanic works. Any moment you keep faith with God’s word, there is a release of the life in the word to make you overcome any opposition, that may come from the evil one. You also save yourself from error.

1 Timothy 4:8 says, ‘For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” The Holy Spirit inspired the following words, bodily exercise profits little. Some brethren give every attention to training and building their physical bodies, yet have no time to read, study, or meditate on the word. Such people are sadly defeated by the schemes and strategies of the enemy because they do not know how to overcome him. The verse said godliness, which is living the way of God. This involves living by the word and other acts of faith. The Lord says it has profit now as well as in the life to come. Remember, life is spiritual; this means, there are supernatural personalities that influence our natural dealings. Failure to place God’s word first makes you extremely vulnerable to any negative force that may seek to harm you. God’s word is the highest principle in the universe, every power is subjected to it. Living by the word places you above any contrary power that may seek to affect you negatively.

CONFESSION

God’s word is the highest law in this universe. I am given to the word. I meditate on it day and night. My way is constantly prosperous and victorious. I live above every evil influence because of the word that rules me.

THOUGHT: PLACING GOD’S WORD FIRST, IS LIKE SETTING THE HORSE BEFORE THE CART.

SHINING IN THE WORLD  3

KEY SCRIPTURE: Gen 39:12 KJV” And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.”

We take a look at another character in the bible who also made his light shine so much that, God was glorified and many were blessed as a result of him. Joseph a beloved son of Jacob, grew up among his brothers but made sure he always told the truth and did that which was right. Gen 37:2. His brothers sold him into slavery yet He kept living an upright life. Gen 39:3 KJV” And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.” God does not endorse the actions of evildoers. For God to be with him, meant he consistently pursued righteousness.

His master Potiphar put Him in charge of his whole house. Potiphar’s wife saw how favoured Joseph was, and began to lust after him. She kept making advances on him, yet he refused. Remember to shine means exhibiting the fruits of righteousness.  Listen to Joseph’s response to her amorous requests. Gen 39:9 KJV “There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” Dear child of God, do not yield to fornication, for it is a sin against your very body, and will deem every light you have, so much that demons or devils, will easily flock your body and life.

Joseph ran away from her, yet she took hold of his clothes and used that as evidence to accuse Him, of seeking to sexually molest her. Joseph kept his uprightness even in prison, and so God finally elevated him from, slavery, and imprisonment to become the next in command to King Pharoah.

 Dear child of God, you are the light of the world. Continue to be light and not darkness. Do not hide to do evil. Like Joseph maintain your brightness wherever you are. Remember what Jesus said light is not hidden under a bushel, but is placed on the top, so it can keep blighting the path of others. To be on top is to be significant in life. As light you are significant, so remain significant by shining.

CONFESSION

I am the light of the world and will keep shining no matter where and how things turn out. I am continually keeping faith in God to keep shining. So long as I keep shining, I remain on top, and that becomes very significant in this world.

SHINING IN THE WORLD 2

KEY SCRIPTURE: Dan 2:47 KJV” The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.”.

We would consider how Daniel the exiled Jewish young man and his friends kept the light of God high up when king Nebuchadnezzar had a dream which he claimed he had forgotten it, yet wanted the interpretation. We can find this story from Daniel 2:1-48.

King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon called all the wise men, magicians of his kingdom, and told them he had a dream, but had forgotten the dream, and so these wise men should tell him the dream and give him the interpretation of it. He told them that if they were to get him the answers he would reward them, with so much benefits, but if they were not able to find the answers, then they would all be killed. This condition is like most events or challenges in life. It offers problems, without solutions, but demanding answers, which if you are not able to answer, may cause your death.

The wise men in our story said the King’s demands were too much, and that no one could answer such a puzzle. The king quickly asked that every wise man in his kingdom be picked and slaughtered. Daniel and his young friends, who were being prepared to be among the fraternity of the wise men were also added to the wisemen to be killed. This is a condition that normally prevails in our day-to-day live encounters.

Daniel did not accept the King’s decision for them to be killed. He believed in his God who can do all things. In every life difficulty, the Christian’s stand is, my God can do all things. He asked for an audience with the king and pleaded for some time to seek the face of his God. Nothing is too big for our God to answer. Seek His face for a way out. Daniel was granted that wish. Never be afraid to say your God can make a way out, He would honour His name.

Daniel and his friends sought the face of the Lord who gave them the answer. Many Christians would have found solutions to the myriads of challenges that humans are faced with. Daniel was led to the king and then revealed the dream and its interpretation. The following was the result of Daniel’s exploits. Dan 2:47 KJV “The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth, it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.” King Nebuchadnezzar did not know about the God of Daniel, yet because of this event he got to know him, and gave Him the glory. Daniel was also made a very great man in the kingdom of Babylon.

Our world is bedevilled with all kinds of problems, with some being life-threatening. God says call upon Him concerning these things, He will answer and show you great and mighty things that you have no idea about. Jeremiah 33:3.

SHINING IN THE WORLD

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matt:16 KJV” Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

The Lord said we are the light of the world and so we must shine so much that, men will see it and give glory to God our Father.  Shinning means bearing the fruits of righteousness. It is all about demonstrating the word in our lives. Our Lord Jesus led a kind of life, that the bible said His fame went abroad seeing the manifestation of the glory of God.  Great exploits are always demonstrated through faith in the word of God.

How can we shine in a world that has become so secular? The Lord taught in John 15;1-15 that, if we are to bear much fruit, then we must abide in Him. Abiding in Him involves how deep our fellowship with the Holy Spirit is.  The Holy Spirit is the glory of God according to Rom 6:4 is also the exceeding great and resurrection power at work in us who believe according to Eph 1:19, 20.

We are called to shine in every aspect of our lives. We are to shine in our moral life social life, business life, marital and every area of our relationship with men.

The Lord said He does nothing without receiving instructions from the Holy Spirit. What you need to do is to Learn to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. The next act is to learn to wait for the instruction of the Holy Spirit. The Lord said in Matt 7:7, that ask, and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Humanity is faced with many difficult problems that seems there are no solutions. I believe if we would learn to ask, seek, and knock, we would find answers to these needs. Wherever you find yourself you can make up your mind to shine. Understand that as a child of God, you have a better advantage over the man who does not have the Holy Spirit

PRAYER

Lord, grant me the heart to be diligent in all I do, trusting and following the counsel of the Spirit. Help me to learn to wait on the Holy Spirit for direction as well as being disciplined to wait on Him for ultimate answers to difficult issues. May the guidance of the Spirit bring that needed help to my world in Jesus’ name.
