The word of God in the heart is the source of strength for
the Christian race. The level of understanding of God’s word (the truth in our
heart) will determine how far we can go
in overcoming obstacles on our ways.
If we read the word with a shallow mind, we will have a shallow understanding but when
we study the word deeply, we will have an in-depth understanding and ability to
live a holy life. It also gives us the power to resist the devil.
It is not possible to live above sin if we do not know the
scripture. The bible says 'you will know
the truth, and the truth will make you free' John 8:32. It is when we know the
truth about God and his word that we will be free from sin, oppressions
and all kinds of bondage.
In the bible, there are ‘bless me verses’ also there are ‘correct me verses’. we need both in our lives. some people only apply ‘correct me verses’ while other
apply only ‘bless me verses’. If all you do is to live on the ‘bless me
verses’, you will become weak and wimpy. If all you do is to live only on the
correct me verses, you will become hard and mean. But If we combine them, we will grow up in the
right structure of God.
The word of God is a light to our path, it gives life,
health and strength to those who have it in their heart. We can never be able
to do what is right nor reach the height of our calling in life if we do not
put the word of God into our spirit.
'I keep your law in my heart , so that I will not sin
against you' psalm 119: 11 (Good news bible)
Many times in our lives, we pass through temptations, it is
at this time that our human nature try to manifest itself but If have the word
of God in our heart it will manifest and guide us to overcome temptations.
Sin is obeying the devil, when we commit sin, we bow to
Satan, when we bow to Satan, he gives us
inferior things and collect eternity from us.
The word renews, regenerates, cleans, builds and strengthens
us even in difficult times. Please remember
the word of God is not just the bible we carry, but the truth in our
hearts.
