RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **Apply The Word For Changes** Thursday 25th August . Pastor Chris
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
(2 Timothy 3:16).
As a Christian, it’s important that you keep
making progress, and using the Word of God to improve the quality of
your personality. You ought to be able to testify of definite changes in
your personality in recent times, through the application of the Word
of God. There should be something positive and definite that you’ve
built into your character or something negative that you got rid of from
your character, by using the Word of God. Subject yourself to the Word
for it to effect changes in your spirit and in your soul.
The
change in your physical body is easy; the focus now is the change from
within. You have a responsibility in building and upgrading your life
with the Word of God; no one can do this for you. There’re people who
haven’t changed in ten years. The same things that offended them years
ago, are still offending them now. The same people they disliked years
ago are still disliked today. The same issues they’ve had in five years
are still there. They’ve neither changed nor grown; that’s sad.
The question to ask is, have such people acquired more information? Of
course, they might have; but they haven’t acted on the information.
They’ve heard and studied the Scriptures but haven’t yielded themselves
to the transforming power of the Word of God to bring about lasting
changes in their personality. It’s not enough to hear or gather
scriptural information; you must act on the Word.
There’re those
who, when they’re in church, write down everything that’s being preached
and taught. They get the tapes and they listen, but they’re so used to
the voice that it doesn’t mean anything to them nor effect a change in
their character. They’ve become too familiar with the Word. Don’t be
that way. Believe in the power and ability of the Word of God to
transform your life from glory to glory. Apply the Word for changes. I’m
not talking about a temporary change, but permanent changes to affect
your personality.
God’s Word was given to you as a creative
material. Any change you want in your life is possible; use the Word to
make it happen. You can create more victories and sustain yourself in
the transcendent life with the Word.
CONFESSION
The Word of
God is my life and my sustenance; I’m making progress and winning
everyday by the Word. Today, my life is improved and upgraded as the
Word of God impacts my spirit, bringing about a transformation from
glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: || Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ||
|| Ephesians 4:22-23 That
ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is
corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the
spirit of your mind; ||
|| Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God [is]
quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged 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.
