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!

    What does fruitfulness depend on? On the level of understanding of the mysteries of God’s Kingdom. As we mentioned, if a person listens to the Word of God but does not understand it, then Satan comes and steals the Word. Those who understand the Word bring forth fruit – thirtyfold, sixtyfold and hundredfold.That is why the first requirement for being fruitful in His kingdom is an understanding of the mysteries of God’s Kingdom. Today I would like you to see to whom God reveals the mysteries of His Kingdom.

    The Kingdom of God is a very important concept, which is often mentioned in the Bible. When we read the New Testament we see that the message about the Kingdom of God was the central message and mission of Jesus Christ. The very first sermon of Jesus Christ was a message that called people to repent and to believe the Gospel, because the Kingdom of God has come nigh.

    Problems draw our attention faster than anything else.Problems can become a spiritual “alarm clock” from God. This is what Job (36:15) points out: “He delivers the poor in their affliction, and opens their ears in oppression”.In times of prosperity and abundance we hear God as whispering, but in times of pain and suffering we hear Him loud and clear. 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.

    We continue to speculate on God´s desire to change us for our own benefit. As we stated, by letting God to change us according to His will and following Jesus people around will see a reflection of Heaven in our life and in our ministry.Do you remember when the elders of synagogue, scribes and Sadducees met Jesus disciples after He was resurrected, they faced a supernatural courage in them.

    « He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love ». (1st John 4:8).If God is love it’s vitally important to know and understand how Love behaves.« For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life ».

  • Is anything too hard for the Lord?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    This question is so crucial because how we answer it will determine the measure of God’s involvment in our lives. This question helps us to realize that how much we know about God affects the level of our faith.When a person believes that there is nothing impossible for God, that person has a particular attitude towards life, a particular reaction to hardships, a particular spiritual attitude that appears when he or she runs into difficult problems that do not change for a long time.
