Oluwafemi .The Word of God is a light to my Path.

  God’s Word Works! Memorize and Meditate “ And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. ” (1 Thessalonians 2:13) Soak your Heart If we are to taste the goodness of God’s Word, we first have to receive it, accept it, and implant it in the depths of our heart. We cannot read the Word of God the same way we read other books. God’s Word is living and powerful, and it will work in the life of the believer who views it as such. It works like a powerful medicine when it is properly ingested. We trust that it will prosper in us and accomplish the purpose for which it was sent. Sow to the Spirit As you talk to God, put this verse in your own words. Tell God you believe what it says, and that you look forward to it working in you and through you.

  Because of His Love “Now during the day He was teaching in the temple, but at evening He would go out and spend the night on the mount that is called Olivet. And all the people would get up early in the morning to come to Him in the temple to listen to Him.” —Luke 21:37–38 Recently during a trip to Jerusalem, I visited the Southern Steps, which led into the ancient temple. Those were the steps the common person would travel to present a sacrifice, but they also were often referred to as the Teaching Steps because rabbis went to that location to teach their disciples. Many scholars believe Peter also preached his cutting sermon in Acts 2 from this very spot. Yeshua also taught some of His parables from those steps. Each day, crowds gathered around Him, calling Him Rabbi. He was clothed in the rabbinic anointing, yet He was superior to any of the other leading Jewish figures of His day. In fact, when people heard Him teach, they said, “This man teaches not as our scribes. He teache...

  God is Real to Those Who Cultivate a Relationship With Him Memorize and Meditate “ Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. ” (Psalm 37:5–6) Soak your Heart This verse and a multitude of other verses in the Bible assure us that God is at work in the lives of his children. God is relevant. God is real to those who cultivate their relationship with him through Jesus Christ. If we commit our daily routine and mission work to him, and trust him to fulfill what he says, we can expect God to act in us and in our circumstances. He will bring forth the  Christ  in us, and we can expect him to grant success in our mission. Sow to the Spirit verse like this is what I like to call a “button pusher.”  It makes me want to try it. When I talk with God, I tell him I am committing my way to him, and that I trust him to fulfill whatever role he has in mind for accomplishing his ...

  You Are Being Changed “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being trans- formed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” —2 Corinthians 3:18 This verse is one of my favorites in the entire Bible. It is telling us that as we focus on the Lord and His Word, we are seeing into the Spirit of Jesus Himself. And as we look upon Jesus, the Spirit of the Lord is supernaturally transforming us into His image. We are going from glory to glory and from strength to strength. Simply put, you and I are being changed. This is one of the greatest miracles you can ever experience—to look at your life and see how Jesus has changed you. When you think about what you were like five years ago, you should notice that you are different. You should see that you have changed because everything that is alive is growing and changing. Only something that is dead remains the same. Of all the miracles I have experienced in my l...

  The Spirit Empowers Memorize and Meditate “ For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. ” (Romans 8:13) Soak your Heart We cannot live the Christian life by our own power. By nature, we are shot through with sin. Only by the grace of God can we overcome the power of sin. This verse from Romans tells us that if we put to death the misdeeds of the body by the power of the Spirit, we will live and be able to overcome the power of sin. We have the choice to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to live under his control. Sow to the Spirit Acknowledge to God you are powerless to live the Christian life, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you walk under his control. Trust that he will empower you to live a life that is pleasing in his sight. Flow with the Spirit Receive by faith the life the Spirit will impart to your mortal body as you trust him to do so. Total dependence on him is critical. He is the c...
