Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 8 December 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Transformation By The Word
TOPIC: Transformation By The Word (Seeds Of Destiny 8 December 2024)
SCRIPTURE: The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psalm 119:130.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The darkness of negative character can be arrested by the light of the Word.
MESSAGE:
The Scripture reveals that God’s children are the standard bearers of their generation (Matthew 5:14-16). Christians are road pointers and pacesetters for their generation. God’s children are designed to show the world how to behave.
One way to be a standard bearer to a generation is by upholding godly character. We set the pace for the world by living uprightly. And to maintain an upright character, we need to engage one fuel for godly character, which is the Word of God.
Psalm 119:130 says, “The entrance of thy Word giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”
The entrance of the Word is the doorway to illumination. When the Word enters, light comes, and when light comes, darkness checks out.
Please know that the darkness of negative character can be arrested by the light of the Word. Until the Word enters, life remains dark and disorderly. This is one reason why you see dark and disorderly behaviours like cultism, criminality, prostitution, armed robbery, stealing, smoking and other forms of negative vices in the lives of the ungodly. All these negative behaviours continue to manifest in a life until the Word of God arrives.
Thus, the Word of God is a major tool for character reformation and transformation. It may interest you to know that the world’s legal system was founded on the books or the Laws of Moses. Whether it is the English Common Law or any other law regulating human character and behaviour, all are rooted in Scripture.
This means that the revelation of the Scripture is the reformation of character. The Scripture reforms and transforms human character.
My counsel is this: like the Apostles in Acts 6:4, give yourself to the study of the Word so your character can be positively transformed.
Remember this: The darkness of negative character can be arrested by the light of the Word.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Make up your mind to be an example of godly character to your generation.
2. Give yourself to reading, searching, hearing, and obeying the Word for your character transformation.
PRAYER: Father, I ask that You grant me access to the light of Your Word to check out every darkness of negative character out of my life. I receive the grace and discipline to give attention to the Word, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
