The word of God in you

I encountered a divine experience two Sundays ago when upon waking up from my sleep, I saw the Bible opened before me. It was the first page in the book of Genesis. I saw the word “God” written clearly at the end of every verse. I heard a voice that said - “The signature at the end of every verse is not that of man but of God”. This experience is very real to me and I am sure that if every page of the bible had been opened to me on that day, I would have seen the name “God”  signed at the end of every verse. The bible is the word of God inspired by Him and he has put his name to it. He is saying “this is the word that has come out My mouth and I stand by it, and it cannot fail”.

The bible says that God magnifies His word above all His names. His word is true no matter what man may say. He stands by His word, he watches over His word, His word is living, powerful, and quick to accomplish what it has been sent to do.

Hebrews 4:12 (New King James Version) “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

The word of God is true and stands for ever. It has been proved and tested. God is justified by whatever He says. His word can be taken to the high court, Supreme Court, or anywhere in the world; it always shine as a light in darkness.

Psalm 18:30 (New King James Version) “As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”

God wants his word to be in us and be part of us. He wants his word to abide in us because his word is life; and then we truly become one with Him. This makes us to be in complete fellowship with him. When we are in true fellowship with God then His will becomes our will. We become peaceful on the inside and we have complete trust and confidence in his love for us. We then have a sense of direction and clarity about things that pertain to this life.

Psalm 119:130 (New King James Version) “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

The only way that His word can become part of you, is by meditating on His word. Meditating on the word of God can be likened to the way you take in natural food. You spend less time drinking milk compared to eating solid food. If you want to eat meat, then you will take time to chew it properly to avoid choking on it. If you rush it, then ultimately the food will not be of any use to your body because you did not spend time to chew it appropriately.

When you are born again, your spirit man is like a little baby who needs to grow. He starts from the milk of the word but later on the milk will not be sufficient. Consequently, he will have to move on to semi-solids, and then solids. A Christian who is matured enough to eat solids but is still having the milk of the word of God will be stunted in the spirit.

Deuteronomy 8:3b (New King James Version) “Man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.”

According to Webster's dictionary, the word “Meditate” means to reflect upon, ponder, or contemplate, to plan or intend in the mind. Reflect upon means to form an image of (an object), to give back a likeness, and to think or consider seriously. To ponder means to weigh mentally, consider carefully. To contemplate means to ponder or consider thoughtfully, to regard as possible, take seriously, to intend or anticipate.

When you are reading the word of God, sometimes a verse may stand out to you. You can begin to reflect on this verse and ponder over it. The Holy Spirit usually begins to shed more light on what you are mediating about. Continue meditating until these words become part of you and then you begin to live it. If the word of God is not part of you, then to obey it becomes a burden. When his word is abiding in us, then obeying God comes naturally. His will then becomes your will and whatever you ask in the name of Jesus He will do it.

1 John 5:14-15 (New King James Version) “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”

Continue to meditate on the word of God until it becomes a light in you giving you insight into everything that pertains to this life and the kingdom of God.

2 Peter 1:19 (New King James Version) “ And so we have the prophetic word confirmed,] which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.”

Jesus is a conqueror and you are more than a conqueror

Jesus has overcome your fears, worries, anxieties, sins, debts, sicknesses. He overcame all things when he was nailed on the cross. There is a lot of conflict in the world but when you are in Jesus you will have peace that the world cannot give. There is no man who has ever said that he has overcome the world apart from our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 16:33 (New King James Version) “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

It is reasonable to commit one’s life into the hands of someone who has made the earth his foot stool.

Isaiah 66:1 (New King James Version) “Thus says the LORD: heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool.”

The brazen serpent that was lifted up in the wilderness is a symbol of Jesus lifted up on the cross with all your problems. The serpents were a great problem to the children of Israel in the wilderness. Whosoever looked unto the brazen serpent was delivered.

Numbers 21:9 (New King James Version) “So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.”

Jesus is the true saviour. He knows how you feel because he has passed through trials when he was on earth. He however, overcame all his trials even in death.

Hebrews 4:15 (New King James Version) “ For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin”.

Jesus Christ lived on the earth as a man, and he was faced with trials and temptations. Nevertheless, he was victorious in all instances. For example, when Jesus was born, Herod attempted to kill him. The Lord warned Joseph in a dream to take Jesus and his mother and escape to Egypt. When Jesus was performing miracles and teaching, the people wanted to stone him. He was however protected by the Holy Spirit because His time had not yet come. The people called Jesus a glutton, and that he was a friend of sinners. He was however reassured because he would only do what he saw his Father doing.

Jesus was referred to, indirectly as illegitimate. This did not bother him because he knows that he is the only begotten son of the Father. Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness but he overcame by the word of God. Jesus’ family turned against him but those that obeyed his teachings became his brothers, mother and sisters.
The wind and the storm rose up against Jesus, but he silenced them with the words from his mouth.

The government hounded and pestered Jesus to pay tax. The provision then came through a fish. Jesus had more than enough money to pay for himself and Peter. Jesus had no transport to cross to the other side of the sea. He trusted his Father who made the sea a red carpet for Him to walk upon. In the darkest hour there was nobody to stand with Jesus in prayer. The Holy Spirit was however his helper.

Jesus’ close friends deserted him but the angels ministered to him. Jesus was stripped and flogged by the Roman soldiers. He had died to self and so did not consider his own body. People spat on Jesus and mocked him but his focus was on the joy that was set before Him.

Jesus was nailed to the cross but he rose on the third day. He now lives for evermore. His name is above any other name. At the mention of the name of Jesus every knee must bow. Jesus has overcome. If you remain in him you will always be victorious.

Romans 8:37 (New King James Version) “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

Enjoy the blessings of God.
