| The word of God, has power..... |
When you are
grounded in the word of God, nothing will affect you. It’s not just good enough
to hear the word of God from others. It is better when you know, it for
yourself. Let’s suppose you want to run a race, would you practice daily or
would you just sit back and when it is time, to race you run?
Of course
not! You will do what you have to do to get yourself in shape for the race. You
will eat healthier, walk, etc. Nevertheless, you are expecting to succeed,
because you have put in the work. Now let us look at our spiritual life.
Suppose you are in conflicts, what will you do? Would you run to a friend, Pastor,or therapy? Maybe or maybe not! However, when you are grounded in the word, you
will run directly to Christ Jesus, because he has all the answers you need.
But you
cannot run to him unless, you are trained to know, who he is. How do you become
trained? You become trained by spending time in His word. Paul said, “25 everyone
who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown
that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26
Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a
boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave
so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for
the prize” (1 Corinthians 9:25-27). Amen. Wow even discipleship
requires, discipline. Our walk with Christ is important. Although the road can
sometimes get bumpy, it will NEVER have any effect on you because you know who
is guiding your path. If it is not Christ, then you will be affected by every
storm that comes your way.
Let’s face it;
unless, you have Christ in your life, you will
have no light. You might have physical existence, but your spiritual man
will be dead. Well, that’s my opinion. If you haven’t already accepted Christ, I invite
you to accept him. And if you have him, but you are not spending time in his
word, I encourage you to get busy and spend time. When you are trained, and know who you are
and whom you belongs too, nothing coming your way, will prosper. Be blessed.
