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!

    « 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.

We must see this as something we choose above all else because we desperately need it.

    Today I would like to complete our discussion about searching for a goal of our life, and how we can find true happiness under the sun. We observed Solomon who measured long and burdensome way looking for his happiness and satisfaction.Thanks God for having it written for us, so that we can avoid the mistakes Solomon mentions in the book of Proverbs. Solomon has understood that life without God is an absolute illusion, but happiness without God is a mirage. This is what he writes as a conclusion to his book:«This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgement, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.» (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
