LIVE BY GOD'S WORD
MATHEW 4:4
"Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'”
God wants all of His children to live by the words that He has spoken. He does not want us to live by sight, nor by bread that we feed on daily rather, than on the word of God.
In order to be acquainted with the words that have come out of God's mouth, you need to do a personal study of the word of God. This is because it is the spiritual food for your soul. As the physical food is to the body, so is the word of God to our spirit man. You are expected to feed on the word of God, so as to nourished and renew the inner man on daily basis. Rom. 12:1-29, 1Pet. 2:2.
Consider the following if you want to live by the word of God.
1. Read the Bible consistently. Isa. 34:16a: This is the least thing you can do with the word of God. It should be done daily, prayerfully and consistently.
2. Study the word of God 2 Tim. 2:15: This is another level of experience or exposure to show yourself approved. You move from the level of reading to digging deep into the scriptures, line upon line, precept upon precept.
3. Memorize the scriptures. Ps. 119:11, 1 Cor. 15:2): This is committing the scripture to memory and it also leads to confessing what you have memorised. It is what you confess that brings your deliverance. Ps. 107:2.
4. Meditate on the word day and night. Jos. 1:8, 1 Tim. 4:15: This help you to have a mental picture of what you memorized.
5. Practice the word of God. James 1:22, 23, Phil. 4:9:
It is not enough to read, study, memorise and meditate the scripture and not practice it. It is a mere wasted effort and exercise in futility.
God wants His children to be the doers of His word, it is in doing so that your spiritual growth and renewal lies. May God help you in Jesus' name
Enjoy your day!
Personal Confession: Holy Spirit, please help me to live by the spoken words of God henceforth in Jesus' name.
