READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. PUT THE WORD IN YOU – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. SUNDAY, AUGUST 28TH 2016.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld
his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and
truth. (John 1:14)
Jesus is the revelation
of God’s Word and the character of His thoughts, opinions, imaginations
and entire being. He was
the Word of God in flesh and a master of words. The Bible tells us how the temple
guards who were sent to arrest Him, stopped to listen to Him, and upon hearing
His words, went back without arresting Him.
When the chief priests and Pharisees asked why they returned
without Him, the officers replied, “...No man ever spoke like this Man!” (John
7:46 NKJV). His words brought healing to the sick, restored sight to the blind,
unstopped deaf ears, gave the lame new legs to walk, and raised the dead. His
words were different.
The Bible says He cast out demons with His words (Matthew
8:16). He ruled and reigned with words. He showed us the power of words; their
value and how to use them. Don’t just talk; speak the Word. Build yourself. Develop
your spirit and distinguish yourself. Make your words different and become an
excellent person.
This won’t happen, however, until you feed your spirit with the
right information—God’s Word. The Bible says, “…for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart
bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth
forth evil things” (Matthew 12:34-35).
God gives us His Word so we can receive it, meditate on it,
and let it become a part of us. Jesus said, “...Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Matthew
4:4). Remember, food becomes a part of your body when you eat. In the same way,
if you’d meditate on God’s Word, you’ll produce God’s words. If you don’t have
it in you, it can’t come out of you. Put the Word in you. “Let the word of
Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another
in psalms and hymns and Spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the
Lord” (Colossians 3:16).
CONFESSION
The Word of God is in my heart and in my mouth, and as I
speak it forth, I establish the goodness of God in my world, effecting positive
changes, and charting my course in glory. Blessed be God!
