Written by REVELATIONS FOR TODAY by Pastor Michael Obata
John 1:1-4 – New King James Version (NKJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, ………. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Many view Christ Jesus as the one who sacrificed himself for their sins. According to scripture, Christ Jesus is described as the infallible Word of God and the essence of life, through whom all things were created. We are born of this living and everlasting word of GOD. And through the HOLYSPIRIT, when we study, meditate and digest the WORD, our fellowship is with the Father & HIS Son Jesus Christ, which makes our joy to be full. You cannot separate a man from his word; a man’s word tells a lot about who he is, and the scriptures describe this in Proverbs 4:23-24: “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. 24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth and put perverse lips far from you. GOD and HIS word are one, and that is why CHRIST Jesus tells us HE and the FATHER are one and that everything HE says is from the FATHER.
Christ Jesus in John 6:63 says “…………The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life”. As we study, meditate and digest the word, we become deeply rooted in Christ Jesus, and we abide in Him, for without Christ we can do nothing. Just as the body responds to food, so also GOD has programmed our spirit to respond to His word. Information affects our thoughts, which in turn is deposited in our spirits. Therefore, anything inconsistent with GOD’s word should be dismissed immediately. It’s very important to feed our Spirit with the right information, which is the knowledge of GOD’s word. We feed our spirit with the word of GOD to be perfect and equipped for every good work which GOD has planned for us, even before the foundations of the earth. Through GOD’s word, we are built up, and we receive every inheritance that the LORD has promised.
GOD gave us a principle for success in Joshua 1:8 (NIV) “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful” and Psalms 1:1-3 “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, …. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and His law, he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper”.
Be sure always to keep the word of GOD in your heart and let the words from your mouth (your confessions) be in line and agreement with HIS word. John 15:7 says, “But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! Then you will start to experience GOD’s power at work in you. For with the word in our spirit and our lips we frame the course of our lives (Hebrews 11:3). I assure you, you will attain the zenith of success, complete with prosperity and all the good things of life. Praise GOD!
