Receiving Christ as your Lord and Saviour, we accept His life itself within us. But this life has to be constantly strengthened within us, and it is possible when we are filled with the Word of God. You yourself determine what you fulfil your heart with \u2013 the Word of God or this world\u2019s system of values, holiness or sin, faith or fear.\u00a0The Word of God brings faith, strength, and health into our lives.\u00a0Walking in holiness allows us to see the manifestation of God\u2019s power in our lives. Faith in God, based on the Word of God, connects us with God and His possibilities.\r\n\r\nYesterday we talked a little about Joseph.\u00a0It was the Word of God, with which Joseph had filled his heart that helped him stay strong in the fac of life\u2019s adversities. The word of God in his heart helped him to overcome the treachery and lies of peopele against Joseph so that he was lifted to the heights which God had prepared for him. Joseph did not resign to the negative external conditions, which came into his life, he did not agree to swim in the current of these circumstances, but adopted the path associated with trusting on God and His Word. Joseph filled his heart and kept the Word of God there. God\u2019s Word is alive, effective, and efficient, and is able to deliver to us victory over any problem and any obstacle. Nothing is impossible for the Word of God, because behind this Word, God Himself is standing in His power and majesty!\r\n\r\nToday let\u2019s look at David\u2019s life. David\u2019s life was not an easy one at all.\u00a0But David guarded his heart, filling himself with the Word of God.\u00a0In Psalm 119, we read about how much David loved God\u2019s Word.\r\n\r\nHere is what he said in verse 11\r\n<h6>\u201cI have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.\u201d\u00a0(Psalms 119:11).<\/h6>\r\nDavid kept the Word of God in his heart.\u00a0When Goliath appeared in his life, there was no fear in David\u2019s heart.\u00a0Why was he not afraid? Because his heart was filled with faith.\u00a0And where did David\u2019s faith came from?\u00a0His faith came from the Word of God, with which he had filled his heart.\u00a0Faith comes from listening to the Word of God. Some people listen to everyone and everything else but the word of God. No wonder they make wrong decisions and act in silly ways because of fear. This happens because in the absence of faith, fear has taken over their hearts.\r\n\r\nDDear friend, today I want you to see how important it is to keep the Word of God in your heart. If you do that, life will flow from you even in the midst of hard circumstances of life.\r\n\r\nRight now is the time we have to make sure we are keeping the Word of God in our hearts. Filling your heart with the Word of God when the problem or adversity comes \u2013 is too late. We must fill ourselves with the Word of God every day.\r\n\r\nHow I wish that you love the Word of God\u00a0as David loved it! In the Word of God, there are answers to all of your questions and solutions to all of your problems.\r\n\r\nBe blessed!\r\n\r\nPeace of God be with you! Until tomorrow!\r\n\r\nPastor\u00a0Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In order for life to flow from us, we need to first be filled with this life.
