The Word of God

When you hold the bible in your hands, do you grasp the richness of the word of God? The word of God is a powerful treasure that God has given to humanity. By the reason of the word of God, we can climb up to heaven and settle a case through prayer, we can unite the entire world, we can command favours to lie in front of us, we can brush the devil off our way and arrive at a destination designed by God. Through the word of God, we can react rightly to every situation. This discovery should not take your breath away because the bible already tells us that the word of God is God. He took flesh and dwells among us (Jn 1:14).
The God-made-man is present in every Word in the bible because none of them came by the will of man but through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. "All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work" (2 Tim 3:16-17). So, as you read the word of God, you are actually drawing strength from Jesus who is the word himself and as you open your bible daily, your hands are being filled with power and everything you touch is blessed. Again, reading the bible every day, you gain wisdom for life because Jesus is the wisdom of God (1 Cor 1:24). So, it is right to conclude that our foolishness has been as a result of ignorance of the Word of God (Hos 4:6). It is the kind of ignorance that destroys and casts a soul into hell. It is the kind of ignorance that makes a child of God to run from those who should be running from them and to fear those who should be afraid of them. It is the kind of ignorance that places one under subjugation of the devil. Unfortunately, many people are already in this mess. Deliverance would have to come through one means hearing the word. The scripture says that faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom 10:17). This is true because it is what we listen to or what we hear, consciously or unconsciously, that forms us. We are actually products of our environment, the mentality around us and the atmosphere around us. If we build our lives on the Word of God, if we stock our minds with God's Eternal Truth, if everything around us is tailored towards the word of God, then, we shall begin to manifest the Word of God, our lives shall become evidence of the Word of God. Where there is emphasis on the word of God, people grow spiritual.
