God’s Word is water

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes

Greetings to you, my dear friends! Grace and peace to you from Father God and our Lord Jesus Christ!

God’s Word is treasure we must treat right; through it we have to be established in the eternal life given to us by God. It says in the Bible:

 «It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter» (Proverbs, 25:2).

God has hidden many matters in His Word. God’s precious truths are hidden away and concealed. And only the one who searches for them finds them. The Bible says that you do not through pearls before the swine, because they can’t appreciate them. So, God hides His pearls from worldly people; He conceals His treasures, His wisdom and knowledge. He hides these matters from carnal believers as well. But the glory of kings (and you and I are these kings) is to search the matters God has hidden. When we search them out, we discover them for ourselves and it brings glory into our lives. All the things that are necessary to succeed in all areas of life are contained in the Bible. But they are concealed!

You will agree that many people read the Bible and do not understand it. We read in Luke how one day Jesus came close to Jerusalem:

 « Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes » (Luke, 19:41-42).

God desires to reveal to us that things that have been hidden. He has entrusted us His treasure – His Word. We know that controversy that exists in our lives disappears when we start reading the Word. Many believers know that the Bible is God’s Word, yet they neglect it and do not read it as they should. It is wrong! They are many reasons people do not read the Word: laziness, lack of creativeness, spiritual attacks etc. In order to have joy while reading the Word we must understand the reason we have it.

It says in the Bible that God’s Word is light. If you need light every day, then you need to read the Word every day, so that your life is filled with God’s light. Walking in the Word brings light into my way:

 «The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple» (Psalm, 119:130)

The Bible says that the whole world lies in darkness. God gave us His Word to lead and guide us, since we live among darkness. When we walk in darkness, we stumble and fall. God gives us light through His Word. So when I read the Word, I understand that this light belongs to me, so I turn it on. We read the Word to receive enlightment, knowledge and understanding of the matters.

Besides, it is written that God’s Word is water. We use water every day. In the spiritual sense God’s Word is water. God’s intention is for you to use this spiritual water every day. It cleanses us from the things that defile our lives. Living in this world we get defiled. In one of his Psalms David wrote that God’s Word keeps him clean from doings of people. When we look into the Word and apply it to our lives, it cleanses us. God’s Word has purifying effect on us. So if we want to stay clean, we must read the word as often as possible.

It is also written that God’s Word is a mirror and spiritual food, but we will talk about it tomorrow.

May God bless every one of you!

    All people need change; we help each other through relationships that we are involved. God alone does not need to change; all the people, on the other side, desperately need to change. We need each other and we help each other to change. If we do not understand it and lose sight of it, then it will be hard for us to build any relationships.

  • Everything that gets into God’s hands multiplies

    For several days now we have been discussing the how the gift when it is used makes room for us and takes us before great people. When the gift is used it broadens our possibilities and destroys limitations. Thank God for creating us just the way we are.Dear friend, you have been given the things you need to start your supernatural ministry. Do not view your gift as being something small and insignificant. When Jesus told His disciples to feed the multitude, they argued with Him, saying: “We have here only five loaves and two fish”. I guess the disciples expected Jesus to say: «Oh, yes! Then let the people go, because we don’t have enough for everyone!» But Jesus did not say that. He managed to feel the multitude of people because one little boy gave back to the Lord the little he had.

  • Hope of salvation

    «But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.».We have already talked a lot about the role of faith and walking in love last time. Today we begin to discuss the role of hope of salvation. We need faith today. By faith we possess peace today, regardless of what is happening around us. By faith we enter God´s rest even nowadays.

  • God wants His children to be a part of the solution for His needs! II

    « Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention; … Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me; Because they hated knowledge, And didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh. » (Proverbs 1:24, 28, 29).In these verses God tells us about the necessity to change our attitude towards His call, otherwise He would not listen to our calling the time we run to Him with our petitions. Forget about your own problems and take part in finding solutions for the needs and problems God has today, He will become a part of a solution for your problems then.

  • Everything that is hidden will unavoidably be brought into the light

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    «For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil» (Ecclesiastes, 12:14). Solomon said the same thing Jesus said: God will bring into judgment our every work and especially all the hidden works: sins, wrongdoings that we have tried to keep in secret. God will openly bring our every deed into the light of His judgment. It means that all our sins will follow us wherever we go. The only way we can avoid the consequences of our sins and wrongdoings – is to repent before God brings them into the judgment. Repentance opens to us the door of mercy and grace from the Lord. It brings into our life new opportunities from the Lord. For this reason the only right lifestyle and the only correct decision is to repent of our wrongdoings so that God won’t have to judge us.
