What Is The Word Of God? Part 2

 

The Anchor Scripture

For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account - Hebrews 4:12-13 AMP

 

Now, from the above scripture, we see that the word of God is alive, powerful, a double-edged sword, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of man.

 

IT'S ALIVE

The word of God is living and exhibits traits of a living being. So, it can reproduce, grow, metabolize, respond to stimuli, adapt to the environment, move, and breathe.

 

It Reproduces

The word of the Lord has the ability to reproduce itself. This is because when you receive any scripture in your heart and apply it, it has the ability to produce the same result in your life.

 

For instance, we're born again by the word of God and this is reproduced and is still being reproduced in many believers.

 

It was of His own will that He gave us birth [as His children] by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of His creatures [a prime example of what He created to be set apart to Himself—sanctified, made holy for His divine purposes]. - James 1:18 AMP

 

Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever - I Peter 1:23 NKJV.  Read more...

 

The Rain Of God's Word Is Never Impotent

How much of God's word have you put inside of you today? The amount of rainfall that the earth receives determines how watered it will be and its ability to bear fruits. The ground that receives enough rainfall is sure to produce abundantly. This post is aimed at charging you to drink more of the word of God for your desired turnaround.

For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it - Isaiah 55:10-11 (NKJV).

Droplets of the word of the Lord cannot be compared with the rain of it in any way. The rain of God's word makes a great difference in the pursuit of your desired turnaround. The more of the word of God within you the more you build your faith, and the just shall live by faith. Therefore, go for more of the word.

The Almighty God is not a careless talker; every word that comes out of His mouth is for a purpose and is well targeted. When He speaks, He sends His word on an errand. The word is not permitted to return to Him until it accomplishes what He pleases and prospers in the thing for which He sent it. It must return to give a pleasing account, with the Lord's desired results.

Therefore, next time you hear the word of God, know that it is on an errand and it must not return void. The question is, "will you receive it for yourself and/or be a channel through which God will send it to its target?" Who are the targets? Anyone that receives the word is a target and will get its blessings; for as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become sons of God (John 1:12).

THE POTENCY OF THE RAIN OF GOD'S WORD

The word of the Lord is never impotent. The word of God is quick and powerful, able to handle all impossible cases and discern the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). Read more...
