Recently, actually yesterday during the service, we had an opportunity to look at the Lord's word in as far as the Word is concerned. i realized that in as much as we claim to be Christians, many of us do not really understand the power that is in the book called the Bible.
The Lord Himself say that he is the Word (St. John 1) and in many aspects He reveals to us the beauty of being in touch with Him by allowing Him to influence our lives in all aspects of it. unfortunately, we do not realize the power that has been granted to us as believers in such a simple manner as this.
I tend to believe that due to our background, which is heavily influenced by Animistic form of life, we often look for things that will make religion a reality by fetish procedures and we go as far as looking for titles or favor in the same only to realize that it has always been a lie from the Devil himself. This is so sad.
Jesus has given us His word in a very simple manner that just needs us to believe! yes Just BELIEVE! no rituals, no payments, no tasks that make you a freak or any of those things.
If we just believe all will be well with us. if we just seek Him and allow Him to influence us, lead us , teach us and guide us by His Word, we will never ever be in lack, or ashamed.
Just as i said jana, what shall you do with this knowledge? will you sit there and start rationalizing or will you just trust and obey? Before He spoke a WORD, I knew no sin and was dead in it, after He spoke the WORD Sin became real, when I understood the WORD I died to sin. Now the life that I live is not mine but Him living in me. Life's Good in Christ.
The Lord speaks to us every day and in many ways but at times we don't hear due to many noises both within and without us but he nonetheless speaks. this is His Word!
