And I would like to draw your attention to a passage from the\u00a0Book of Deuteronomy (32:45-47)<\/strong>:\r\n
\u00abSet your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe \u2013 all the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess.\u00bb<\/h6>\r\nI want to remind you that this was one of the last things Moses said before his death. Moses brought the people of Israel out of Egypt, then they wandered through the desert and now they were about to cross the Jordan in order to possess the land God had promised them. Earlier on, Moses had given the nation of Israel a serious instruction; he reminded them of the law, the conditions of the covenant and everything that God had spoken to them about. And in these verses we see that Moses tried hard to let people understand how vitally important it is to accept the Word of God with all soberness and deep respect.\r\n\r\nToday God wants to tell us the same thing. The Word of God is life to us. When God sends us His Word, He offers us life. Rejecting the Word of God we reject life itself. Moses says about God\u2019s Word: \u00abFor it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life…\u00bb<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nIt is extremely important for us to appreciate the Word of God and not to treat it as something futile, – it is not like a song that we have listened to and then gone to do our own will. It should be to us like the greatest treasure. We have to value God\u2019s Word, to hide it in our hearts, to appreciate it because it is life to us. God says that through the Word and through our right attitude towards it we can extend or prolong our days. Our attitude toward the Word determines whether we will extend our life or shorten it.\r\n\r\nThe Bible has a lot to say about things that prolong our life. For example, it says that honoring one\u2019s parents is a commandment with promise, – so that we live a long life on this earth. Secondly, the way we treat God\u2019s Word can extend our life. By the way, the commandment to honor parents is written in the Word, and our attitude towards it determines the length of our days and the quality of them.\r\n
\u201cHonor your father and your mother,\u201d which is the first commandment with promise: \u201cthat it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth\u201d\u00a0(Ephesians, 6:2-3).<\/h6>\r\nSo, a person\u2019s attitude towards the Word decides whether he will live an abundant, long life and whether he will obtain the promises God has for him.\r\n\r\nThe word of God for you today is: value God\u2019s Word! Let the Word never be futile for you, let it never become just an ordinary word to you; let it be for you the greatest treasure.\r\n\r\nBe blessed!\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboy","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today God wants to tell us the same thing.
