Wisdom For The Day Devotional 10 September 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Build On The Word
TOPIC: Build On The Word (TREM Devotional 10 September 2024)
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” Matthew 7:24-25 KJV
MESSAGE:
Currently, everything is being shaken. And the bible says that there are things that will remain. What will remain will be the Word that created the things that are being shaken. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1 KJV). That means God and His word are one. That means the word created the heaven and the earth.
The book of Hebrews 1:1-2 declares: “God, who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;” (KJV). So, you see that Jesus Christ, God and His word are one. They made this world that is now being shaken.
It will collapse if you don’t have the proper foundation, no matter what you are building. You don’t want to build, and it gets destroyed. There are ingredients you can build your family, your business, your finances, your ministry, your health, and everything about you on that when the shaking is ongoing, you will be relaxing. Because you know it can never fall. That ingredient is the word of God!
The Bible tells us that the Word created what we are seeing. The Bible says, “For all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth forever.” And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you (1 Peter 2:24-25).
Build on the word of God. It is the only thing that cannot be destroyed.
