Welcome to our “Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”!I hope the word you have been reading on our website has been a blessing to you. We would appreciate your responses – testimonies or revelations inspired by this word. Today I want to continue on the theme that the condition of our hearts determines our destiny.Let’s turn to the Bible:
“Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls” (James, 1:21).
This is a very profound verse of Scripture that must be considered and closely examined. But I would like to draw your attention to several points. Here the Bible talks about the implanted Word which saves our souls. It resembles the process of engrafting a branch of a tree into another tree, after which these trees become one, since they have the same root system. The implanted Word must be one with me. God wants His Word to be planted in my heart so that the Word and I become one, because it is only then that the Word will be able to save my soul.The implanted Word is powerful enough to bring salvation to our souls.Sometimes people tell me that God’s Word is not working. From time to time Satan sends this type of thought into our minds, trying to persuade us that even though there is so much Word from God around and we hear it all the time, all of this does not work in the lives of quite many people. God’s Word won’t work in your life unless it becomes one with you; unless it becomes ‘implanted’. If the Word is engrafted into me, then I start acting in accordance with it. If the Word is implanted, then it dominates my thoughts, actions, reactions, emotions, having become a part of me. The engrafted Word inside of me controls how I react. The implanted Word affects absolutely all facets of my life. If I get into a difficult situation and try to get out of it on my own, then it can end badly for me. But if the Word is engrafted in me, then I will react in accordance with the Word, which is engrafted and is now a part of me. The circumstances might not change right away, but because of the implanted Word I am different and react differently to the things happening around me. If the Word of God is implanted in me, then the things that irritated or bothered me before do not have the same effect on me today. On the outside it might seem that nothing has changed, but because of the implanted Word I have life and peace in me.Do not treat the Word casually, but read it, meditate on it and ask God for revelations in order for this Word to be engrafted into your heart and bring the desired fruit.May God bless you today in a very special way!Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboy
