READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. APPLY THE WORD FOR CHANGES – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME THURSDAY AUGUST 25TH 2016
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Timothy 3:16)
As a
Christian, it’s important that you keep making progress, and using the Word of God
to improve the quality of your personality. You ought to be able to testify of
definite changes in your personality in recent times, through the application
of the Word of God. There should be something positive and definite that you’ve
built into your character or something negative that you got rid of from your character,
by using the Word of God. Subject yourself to the Word for it to effect changes
in your spirit and in your soul.
The change
in your physical body is easy; the focus now is the change from within. You
have a responsibility in building and upgrading your life with the Word of God;
no one can do this for you.
There’re people who haven’t changed in ten years.
The same things that offended them years ago, are still offending them now. The
same people they disliked years ago are still disliked today. The same issues
they’ve had in five years are still there. They’ve neither changed nor grown;
that’s sad.
The question
to ask is, have such people acquired more information? Of course, they might
have; but they haven’t acted on the information. They’ve heard and studied the
Scriptures but haven’t yielded themselves to the transforming power of the Word
of God to bring about lasting changes in their personality. It’s not enough to
hear or gather scriptural information; you must act on the Word.
There’re
those who, when they’re in church, write down everything that’s being preached
and taught.
They get the
tapes and they listen, but they’re so used to the voice that it doesn’t mean
anything to them nor effect a change in their character. They’ve become too familiar
with the Word. Don’t be that way. Believe in the power and ability of the Word
of God to transform your life from glory to glory. Apply the Word for changes.
I’m not talking about a temporary change, but permanent changes to affect your
personality. God’s Word was given to you as a creative material. Any change you
want in your life is possible; use the Word to make it happen. You can create
more victories and sustain yourself in the transcendent life with the Word.
CONFESSION
The Word of
God is my life and my sustenance; I’m making progress and winning every day by
the Word. Today, my life is improved and upgraded as the Word of God impacts my
spirit, bringing about a transformation from glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
FURTHER STUDY;
ROMANS 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect will of God.
EPHESIANS
4:22-23
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the
old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the
spirit of your mind;
HEBREWS 4:12
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.
