The Word of God “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged 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” (Hebrews 4:12) These days, listening to the radio, watching the television, reading the newspaper or listening to colleagues at work, one cannot but be alarmed at how lightly people take the Word of God. But thank God that the Word of God has not lost its power. It is still all-powerful. As believers, more than ever before, we should love the Word even more than our necessary food. Let us pray these scriptures and believe God that His Word will shine anew in their lives.
Let us pray that God will fill our mouth with His Word and that it will come forth as a sharp sword as we speak to our loved ones, colleagues and friends. Though seasoned with love, may the Word penetrate like those spoken by Peter on the day of Pentecost. which were full of power till all that heard him were cut to their hearts. May God grant us this in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Let us call on God to give us illumination. Let us ask Him to give us divine direction from the Word. Daniel understood the times from reading the Word. Nehemiah understood the times from reading the scriptures. Ezra, Simeon, Hannah… all got divine direction from the Word. Let us ask God, who is the Father of Lights, (James 1:17) to give us focus, direction and illumination; be it for ministry, home or even for our nations.
Let us ask God to let His Seed, The Word, grow in us and consume us. Let us ask Him to water the seed and ask that it bear fruit. Let us ask God to cause the fruit of the Word to be made evident in our lives that we may walk and show forth, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance because against such there is no law.
Let us ask God to give us a pure desire for His Word. Let the Word ignite a passion within us that cannot be quenched by anything else. Like David, may this be our cry “as the deer pats for the waters, so my soul longs after thee”. We should be able to say “I was glad when they said let us go to the house of the Lord”.
Let us ask God to enable us set time aside to study and meditate on the goodness of God. May we find time to meditate on the wonders of our God and His many promises as revealed in His Word. May God help us to be able to meditate daily on the scriptures. (Acts 17:11)
Friend, let us ask God, by His Word, which is Truth, to sanctify us. Let us ask God to let His Word purge us, expose every ungodly way in us and help us to walk in Truth. May the Word be like a mirror so that we see who we really and we can change where necessary and walk in purity and truthfulness as per the Word.
Let us ask God to teach us to let His Word dwell in us richly in all wisdom. Let us ask Him to enable us to hide His Word in our hearts so that we may not sin against Him in Jesus Faithful Name, Amen.
