1 Thessalonians2:13 "....the WORD OF GOD, WHICH EFFECTUALLY WORKETH ALSO IN YOU THAT BELIEVE".
It was established in the first part that it is not all about just reading the word, the most important thing is that you're lighted and impacted by the word. If it is to read, even the heathens read the word and constitutions of many nations are word based.
Look at our text, the scripture says, the WORD works effectively (tremendously) *IN THEM THAT BELIEVE.* From yesterday's devotional, it was also clear that, the word of God is both Spirit and Life. Meaning if all you have access to is the letter realm, you can't arrive at what is called FAITH. You can't BELIEVE the WORD if you have access to the dictionary meaning and not the spiritual meaning of the word. You can't believe the word if the Spirit of the word does not find its rightful entrance into you.
The reason why David had such an unusual access into the word was because he was humble enough to pray a very simple prayer "Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of your word".
The entrance of God's word into you is known in heaven and ordained by Jehovah to give you light but how can the word that will give you light enter if you do not have access to the Spirit of the Word. It is this light that ejects unusual faith into you and cause the Word to ALWAYS work for you.
Your needs will be met when you gain access into the word. The word works but do you believe? How then can you believe if all you have is the letter that killeth..
Two doorways to access that gives strange faith:
1. Humility
2. A LIFESTYLE of prayer.
*Insights for today: When you gain access into the word, you will receive a kind of faith that swallows all uncertainties and all 'NOS' then will you see the word work so cheaply for you.*
*PRAYER: Dear Lord, Open my heart and eyes to behold wondrous things out of your word in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*
See what others are reading:
- This same Jesus.. He can turn your life around too..
- If He promised it, don't worry about it... just believe it..
- your seed, your errand and your harvest...
- Completeness is onpy through endurance..
This same Jesus.. He can do it for you..
It works, The word works part 1..
