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

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes

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!

All of them proved their love for God with self-sacrifice. They did not afford themselves do many things only because they loved God and longed for friendship with Him.

    God sends this word for a particular purpose – to exalt every one of His children because He loves everyone the same way. I hope God lifts us up to a new level spiritually and materially. But first the truth must be recorded in our hearts. This truth needs to be established in us to keep and guard our hearts.Pray and ask God to show you the situations where you have mistreated people and then repent. New opportunities and new doors can not be opened for us until we repent of our sins.
