ALWAYS PUT GOD’S WORD FIRST IN EVERYTHING
God has told us NOT to
live by bread alone but by every Word He has spoken – Deuteronomy 8:3b; Matthew
4:4.
In other words, a human
being should live, be upheld and sustained by God’s Word as the Amplified
version of the Holy Bible puts it.
As Christians, it is so
easy to miss this very important point in our relationship with God as our
Father especially in times of difficulties.
You find many people who
look in every direction except the Word of God for solution to their problems. They
tell themselves that after all, their past experience has shown that when they
prayed to God, He did not answer so why bother Him?
Dear friend, this is the
very position the devil wants every child of God to reach, which is to rely on your
own strength, advice and understanding as against the infallible Word of God.
As our Father God loves
us so much and has made it clear that His thoughts and plans for us is of good
and not of evil, to bring to an expected end – Jeremiah 29:11 (AMPC).
As a human child relies on,
believes and trusts his earthly father to attend to his needs, so the Lord
expects us to do the same in our relationship with Him.
The problem with many
Christians is that they are not aware of what God’s Word says on a particular
matter because they do not make a study of it, talk less of meditating on it.
As a result, when they
pray to God on a matter, they make a request that is not in line with God’s
Word and because God cannot violate His Word, He would not grant such request
that is outside His Word or His will.
It therefore behoves on
the Christian to study God’s Word to know what it says, meditate on it to internalize
it on every situation.
Whenever you are now
faced with that particular situation, all you have to do is look into God’s infallible
Word, repeat what it says, do what it says, thank God for what it says and
leave the rest to God.
You can rest assured that
God would respond because He is faithful to His Word.
Once you master this
process, nothing shakes you because you have understood that God would keep His
Word on any matter He has stated.
This way, your prayer
becomes effective and answered. This way, you build your relationship with God
and learn to obey Him always and receive the divine protection that is
available to all God’s children.
Dear friend, this is how
to have your prayers answered always. Put God’s Word first and not your
emotions nor the advice of friends and any human being.
God always has your best
interest at heart and can never fail you.
May the good Lord bless
you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Powerful
Name, Amen.
Gabriel Ama.
