Theme: THE WORD BUILDS YOU
Scripture: Acts 20:32
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Life is spiritual and except you operate from the realm of the Spirit; from a higher realm, you will be disadvantaged in this world. The Bible shows us that God is a Spirit. If we are truly born of Him [and yes, we are truly born of Him], that means we are spirits too. The reason is simple: God who is a spirit reproduced (us) spirits.
This is made clear to us in the book of James: James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
Again, the Bible shows us in the first epistle of Peter: 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
We are born of God; born of the Word. The gospel according to Saint John show us that the Word is God. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. That means we came from the Word. If we came from the Word, we must receive our nourishment from the Word.
We receive our nourishment by reading, studying and meditating on the scriptures including prayer and fasting. As we meditate on the Word, we are nourished and built by Him(God). That is to say, the Word of God is the material for spiritual growth and development. Never get tired of hearing this: Give yourself wholly to the Word of God.
CONFESSION
______________________
The Word of God is my life; I proceeded from the Word. I give myself to reading, studying and meditating on God’s Word and as I continue in Him – I see myself making progress day in and day out. I refuse to relent, I’ve got the spirit of consistency in me and I am consistent.
