Text: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” John 1:1-5 (KJV)
Devotion: Knowing that the Word is what you need puts an end to every form of lack. The Word of God is God; it had been with God from the beginning (Genesis 1:1).
Beloved, the Word of God knows your beginning and your end. It is the most essential thing you need to succeed in life. It has life to sustain you, light to direct you, and power to overcome all forces of darkness that seek to wage war against you. Everything in the world, including you as a human being, was created by the Word of God. It means, therefore, that as a child of God you can use the Word of God to get whatever you need.
The Word of God is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is the light of the world that shines in the life of every Christian. In John 8:12 ”Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”. Also in Matthew 5:14 Jesus said to His disciples ”Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid”. This simply means that whoever that accept Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour will no longer walk in darkness but the light will shine upon him/her.
Brethren, Do you apply the word of God as necessary? To effectively and efficiently apply the word of God, you need to search the Scriptures to find the Word that has the solution to your needs and speak them continually in faith, and the Holy Spirit will bring it to pass in your life. Proverbs 25:2 says ”It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter”. It is our duty as Christians to search for the word of God continually to enhance our spiritual nourishment and growth.
Also 2 Timothy 2:15 admonished us saying ”Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. Do you often study the word of God?
We should therefore not lose hope in the Word; be patient in faith and you will see the mighty hand of God in your life. Praise the Lord!
Prayer Point : My dear Father, thank You for Your undiluted Word. I’m excited to hear that it has everything I need to make life meaningful. As I begin to search Your Word, please lead me to find all the scriptures that minister to my needs. And as I declare them in faith, thank You for bringing them to pass for me to testify to others that Your Word really works, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
