GOD’S Word is infallible and guarantees total transformation where and when adequately put to work with faith. If God has spoken concerning anything, consider it done because God exercises jurisdiction over all things and creatures. All that is required is to assiduously search the scripture with a heart of meditation.
Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart”.
That’s to say that whatever positive changes you desire in life is possible. Mark 9:23 “Jesus said, … If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth”. Hence, no need to opt to a life of hopelessness or anxiety. Our duty is to determinedly meditate upon God’s Word as if our lives end in it, because it actually does.
Remarkably, we are products of God’s Word, and therefore must take His Word as our life manual, and not keep a bible for the sake of keeping it or glamour. In 1 Timothy 4:15, believers are charged to “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all”.
Can anyone meditate without knowing, absolutely NO. Meditation is to practically advance on knowledge, and invariably superior to knowledge. Unfortunately, many in the world today have subjected their lives to fear and incessant murmurings following some predicaments that showed up along the line, simply because the life is not anchored on the Word.
No doubt, Christian life offers all the goodies anyone can think of and even the ones beyond imagination. Nevertheless, Christianity also offers a dynamic way of live; ability to be full and to be in want. To suffer in lack is optional and doesn’t disqualify a believer from making heaven, though will likely make it stressful.
Philippians 4:12 captioned it well, “I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need”.
Similarly, Apostle Paul audaciously asserted this in the book of Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”. When a believer is wholly connected to God’s Word, nothing can move you. You live your life independent of circumstances. This is not because of carelessness or irresponsibility but succinctly, your mindset has been reprogrammed the moment you give your life to Christ.
Expectedly, your life is anchored on God if you yield to the Word and the Spirit rather than live by the senses which produce only common sense. Common sense on its own produces a common result which ends in hopelessness, stagnancy and unproductiveness.
Job 22:29 says “When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person”. This implies that there is no dull moment for a believer who truly understands the life he is called to live irrespective of the economic situations around the world.
What a privilege we have in Christ as believers, that even mistakes produce positive results. That’s true. See the book of Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”.
What else do you need to live a fulfilled life in this wicked world, simply God’s Word. It is ever dependable. As you hook to the Word, you will notice that you’re no longer an ordinary person because God’s seed is in you. Even when the worst of heat or storms of life comes your way, you will always be the last man standing because you’re like a tree planted by the living waters. (John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.)
Conclusively, if you desire extra-ordinary life of excellence, prosperity, glory, victory, greatness and success, allow God to plant a seed in you. How, simply begin today to study and meditate on God’s Word always. It will not be long you find yourself doing exploits, spreading to all corners both in season and out of season. God bless you.
