Memorise: 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
Read: Hebrew 4:12, (KJV)
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than
any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of
the heart.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 40:9-42:25,
Psalms 37:33-40
MESSAGE
Just
as physical energy is generated by physical food, spiritual energy is generated
by looking into the Word of God. The Word of God is the source of life. Without
the Word, there is no way we can cultivate a good relationship with the
Almighty God. The Word of God is the secret of every hidden treasure, and until
you engage the Word, you will be operating at the level of ‘ordinary’. Those
that are in the flesh will always be under the power of the carnal mind but
those that are in the spirit will always allow the Word of God to guide and
direct them. It is the Spirit of God that brings the body to life through His
Word. It is this Word that gives us an understanding of what one must do to be
saved from the destruction to come. It is with this Word that you defend
yourself against every arrow of the enemy. It is with this Word that you engage
the devil under any situation and circumstance. The amount of God’s Word you
have in you is how much of God you carry and when you carry God inside of you,
then you have the assurance of victory on all fronts. There is so much power in
the Word to save and to set one free from every bondage and satanic oppression.

“For the Word of God is quick and

Hebrew 4:12
The
Word of God as the shepherd staff should not be rejected or compromised if the
sheep will not be lost finally without remedy. There are many people today who
do not allow their lives to be governed by the Word of God and they also live
to see the consequences of their decisions. An Apostle of Jesus Christ wrote
that all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness.
When we open our lives to the Word of God, there is salvation for us from every
path of destruction, because the Word will redirect us to where we will find
safety for our lives.
When
we open our lives to the Word of God, we are corrected, rebuked, warned and
guided away from the path of perdition. With this, we are saved from the hands
of the wolves of this world that are looking for those to devour. There is
great joy in the Word if we are disciplined enough to hold onto it. As long as
we look unto that Word of liberty, there will be no fear in our hearts because
He that watches us is committed to delivering us from the horrors of sin and death.
How do you gain access to the Word that guarantees salvation from the
destruction of life? It is by reading and meditating on the Word of God,

“Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of
truth”
2nd Timothy 2:15
To
study is to work at what you have read with the purpose of understanding,
retaining and utilising the information. There is great depth in the Word of
God. The Word creates (Genesis 1:3). I decree into your life; every
area where darkness has interrupted the plan and purpose of God for your life
will be flooded with light in Jesus’ name.
Key Point
It is the Word that you honour
that delivers.
