Topic: Christ Is The Living Word [TREM Devotional 23 November 2018]
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 KJV
God has always desired for His children to see what He has planned for them. To this end, He has been painting pictures. He has tried to paint the picture by the written word but man didn’t quite see it. And here comes the living word, everywhere He went He was doing good. He raised the dead. He cast out devils and He healed the sick. Everywhere the Word went, there were incredible miracles. Consequently, man could see what the Word can do when he depends on it.
Stop looking up to your situation, rather start looking up to Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith. When you see Jesus, you see what you can do, you see what is available to you, you see your ability and your resources because Jesus came to show us what has been made available. Jesus, the living Word came to show you what the Word can do when you believe it. When you see yourself in the light of what the Word has provided, it will position you for a life of unlimited possibility.
Has He not said that no weapon formed against you shall prosper? Has He not said that He will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places that you may know that He that has called you is the Lord God of Israel? Has He not said that with long life will He satisfy you and show you His salvation and that what you bind on earth is bound in heaven and what you loose on earth is loosed in heaven? You have no reason to fear! He is the strength of your life! He is your refuge and a very present help in the time of need. Why are you seeing something else?
