The Place Of The Word In Your Life

What value do you place on the word of God? Your value of the word determines how often and how much you study it, and consequently how much of God is delivered into you. The place of the word in your life determines your victories and successes in life. It is your manual for life on earth. This post emphasizes the importance of having the word of the Lord as number one priority in your life.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. And the Word became 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 1:1, 3-5, 14 (NKJV).

But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God - I Corinthians 1:24 (NKJV).

Many believing Christians have time for so many things but very little time for the word of God. They have time for church services and activities, their businesses, career, education and family. Some also have time for vacations or recreation. All these are important but when little time is devoted to the study and meditation of God's word, they will not yield their best to you.

You are a product of the word and you are maintained by it (Hebrews 1:3). Therefore, it is wisdom to consciously sharpen and polish yourself with the word of God. Also, as a child of God the word of the Lord is the food for your regenerated spirit. Lack of the word is to starve your spirit of the needed nutrient to be healthy and powerful. Lack of it will also not allow you to grow to maturity where you will be able to skillfully exercise your authority in Christ (Hebrews 5:12-14). Read more...

Seedtime And Harvest-Give And It Shall Be Given Back To You

Do you desire a financial breakthrough? As long as we are on earth, we will need money for daily needs and wants. Having more than enough is ideal so that you will be a blessing to others. However, many are barely scratching to meet their needs not to talk of meeting the needs of others. Thank God there is a way out! This post shares the basis of financial prosperity: seedtime and harvest.

Give and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you - Luke 6:38 (NKJV).

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease - Genesis 8:22 (NKJV).

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap - Galatians 6:7 (NKJV).

God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His children, so He is not the author of poverty in your life. There are laws governing abundance, which if you adhere to will yield great results to you. These may be different from the world's system but it works with supernatural abundance, which is far better than the world's system. One major law of abundance is that of giving and receiving. As long as the earth remains, there will always be seedtime and harvest. There is no harvest without seedtime and where you have sown seeds you can be rest assured that you will have a harvest after a time, having followed the due process.

Giving and Receiving

This is a very important law if you are to experience abundance. You have to sow before you can reap. Until you give, you can't receive from anybody. Something must leave you first before anything can come to you.  Therefore, if you don't like giving then you shouldn't be expecting to receive. Givers will increase more, while those who don't give, that which they have will go from them (Proverbs 11:24-25). This is a spiritual law which governs everyone, those who practice it eat the fruit of it. You give your way out of lack and want. If you say you don't have anything to give then, you are not yet ready for abundance. You are to give according to what you have (1 Corinthians 8:12). You must give first! Read more...

Reasons Why Your Faith Must Be Based On God's Word For It To Work

How potent is your faith? Many Christians are struggling to have their faith produce the results they desire. Some Christians are even wondering whether "this faith thing" is real. It is real; however, their problem may be that their faith is not on the right foundation, which is the word of God. This post gives the reasons why your faith must be based on God's word for your faith to work.

My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips - Psalms 89:34 (NKJV).

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10:17 (NKJV).

Christianity is called the "Faith". Faith describes our Christian walk with God. We are saved by faith and we live by faith. Therefore, for you to make it as a Christian your faith must work; otherwise, you will be constantly defeated by the enemy when you're only to reach out for victory (Already given to you by Jesus) by faith.

What is faith?

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It is acting on God's word. It is putting the word of God above situations and issues of life. It is believing the word of the Lord as being the absolute truth and holding on to it till it overcomes.

Therefore, it means that where there is no word of God, there will be no potent faith. God's word is the foundation on which your faith can work. So, you must have faith in the word of the Lord.

Why Your faith must be based on God's Word

1. Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17)

Your faith is built up as you hear the word: while studying the word, listening to anointed messages or reading anointed books. It doesn't come by being current with the happenings around you, rather what comes on you most of the time is fear (Faith in the devil). As you hear the Lord speak to you through the above channels, your faith grows to believe Him to do what He had said He would do.

The Power Of Blessing Your Loved Ones

What do you desire to see in the lives of your family and loved ones? You have the power to orchestrate them to a great extent through your blessings. God has given you a mouth with which you decide what happens in your life and lives of your loved ones, especially your family. Wisdom demands that you use it consciously and wisely. This post explains the power of blessing your family.

Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, "Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him— and indeed he shall be blessed" - Genesis 27:33 (NKJV).

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come - Hebrews 11:20 (NKJV).

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit - Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV).

Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and wise people use it to enjoy the life in it. You are to a great extent product of words spoken over your life yester-years by you and your loved ones who had authority over your life, mostly your physical and spiritual parents. At the same time, your tomorrow will be determined by the words spoken over your life today. Therefore, there is need for you to consciously choose your words and refute negative words spoken over your life. When you have an understanding of this, you will need to also apply it over your loved ones.

Many Christians by the grace of God are now consciously keeping their mouth from speaking death over their families, but are yet to consciously speak life over them. Those who love it will eat the fruit of it. Choose to consciously bless your loved ones. Take a few minutes to bless them in line with the Lord's words daily, speaking into their future. You shall have what you say (Mark 11:23). Read more...
