God’s Word being the best means of cleansing for a human heart

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ! Welcome to „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! We have been talking for some time about God’s Word being the best means of cleansing for a human heart. God cleanses me through His Word, so I have to be absorbed in it daily. It might seem to you that you are not getting anything out of it, but it is not so. When we read the Word, we receive deep cleansing, just like people get clean when they bathe. It must be done as often as possible so we would stink spiritually. If you start to notice that you are getting quick-tempered, it means you need to wash it off. If you notice your heart closing up, it means you are not reading the Word and missing the cleansing. If you notice things that do not comply with Christian standards, for example, picking a quarrel, it is a sign of not being in the Word enough. When we read the Word, it shows us the right path, corrects us and brings us to repentance. Negative confessions are a sign of not being in the Word. When you abide in the Word, you are filled with faith and speak the words of faith. You used to say: «I can do everything! I have problems, but I will overcome them! Everything is great!» Now you are saying: «Well, I don’t know. We will see. It is what it is». Words like this show that you have been defiled, and it is not pleasant aroma before the Lord. It is not the spirit of faith. So we need to be saturated by the Word. God’s Word is profitable. When I understand that God’s Word is the means of cleansing, then I get inner stimuli to read it. I need to read it, if I want to walk in purity, not utter negative confessions and be ‘in shape’ spiritually. All of this has to awaken in us the desire to read the Word and be creative in it. Many people do not read the Bible because of different misconceptions. For so many it has become like spiritual illness or spiritual attack that they are not aware of. It says in the Bible that God’s Word is Spirit-inspired and profitable. And if it is profitable, then we must not only read it, but also benefit from it every time we read it. We will surely learn it and then help others in it. 
«All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness»(2 Timothy, 3:16).
 Let’s pray: «Dear Father! I thank you for this word! Thank you, Lord, for teaching us to appreciate the things that You appreciate. Lord, You have give us Your Word and it is Your message for us, which brings us light and freedom, drives away all darkness and points us in the right direction. God, You desire for us to read, study Your Word and mediate on it, to divide the Word rightly and walk blamelessly before You. We ask You in Jesus’ Name to stir in us the desire to abide in Your Word. We need the inner stimuli. Lord, I pray for the Holy Spirit to use what we have read today and motivate the readers to get into the Word, to get strong and established in the truth, in Jesus’ Name. Hallelujah! If there are any spiritual reasons that get in the way of daily reading and meditating, then – in Jesus’ Name – I command the devil to stop his attacks in the lives of God’s children. We thank You, Jesus! In Jesus’ Name, amen!»   May God abundantly bless every one of you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Problems draw our attention faster than anything else.Problems can become a spiritual “alarm clock” from God.

God has an ability to revive our attention towards His Word and His voice. That is why Solomon says that in times of abundance we should enjoy life, but in times of suffering we should think about our life.

    If a person doesn’t have any desire to serve, it is very difficult to motivate him. This desire has to be strong enough to move you to action; otherwise you won’t do anything. It is easy to teach and lead a person that has a desire and an interest in something. And it is very difficult to convince and motivate the one who is indifferent. Where does the desire to serve come from? This desire comes from the understanding of God’s will and the purpose of our salvation.
