We have talked about the fact that the implanted Word of God changes an individual: his reactions, emotions, behaviour.\r\n<h6>\u201cTherefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls\u201d\u00a0(James, 1:21).<\/h6>\r\nFor the Word of God to be implanted in you, you must \u2018<em>lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness\u2019<\/em>. If you are mad at everybody then you won\u2019t be able to hear and comprehend the Word; you will read it, but it won\u2019t work in your life. The process of engrafting requires a special treatment, protection in order to preserve the tree from infection. The same can be said about a human heart, &#8211; it must be protected from wickedness so that the Word of God could be planted and then bring forth fruit \u2013 the fruit of salvation.\r\n\r\nThe Scripture above says that we must receive the implanted word\u00a0<em>with meekness<\/em>. What does it mean? \u2018With meekness\u2019 means with submission to God and His Word giving up our rights. It is only with this attitude can the implanted Word of God bring salvation into your life.\r\n<h6>\u00abBut be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves\u00bb\u00a0(James, 1:22).<\/h6>\r\nWhen the Word has been implanted into you, it starts to control your actions and you start to do the Word. If you hear the word, but do not do it, it means it hasn\u2019t been planted in you.\r\n\r\nYou can know the Word, understand it in your mind and even agree with it; but unless the Word is planted in you, you won\u2019t do it. It is because the word is not \u043d\u0435 engrafted in the heart that an inner struggle goes on in a person. A struggle such as : \u00abI believe the Word, but somehow I do not do it. I believe the Word to be true, but I act differently\u00bb.\r\n\r\nGod says that if we live that way, we deceive ourselves. We deceive ourselves, and then we try to blame others for what happens to us; we do not take full responsibility for our lives. First of all, we need to check the condition of our hearts.\r\n\r\nNevertheless, that does not mean that other people will never treat us wrong. It also does not means that we will always have perfect circumstances. In spite of it, our hearts should and can be right.\r\n<h6>\u00abFor if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was\u00bb\u00a0(James, 1:23-24).<\/h6>\r\nDear friend, your destiny is in your hands and nobody else \u2013 but you &#8211; is responsible for your life!\r\n\r\nHave a great day!\r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cTherefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls\u201d (James, 1:21).\r\n\r\nFor the Word of God to be implanted in you, you must \u2018lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness\u2019.
