The Lord Jesus is trustworthy, and so is His Word to us: it’s living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). His desire for us is to be built by the Word; He wants us to excel and make progress by the Word. 1 Peter 2:2 says, “As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.” He wants us to accept the Word of God like children. Why? Because children are trusting. Jesus said, “…Truly I say to you, unless you… become like little children , you can never enter the kingdom of heaven ” (Matthew 18:3 AMPC).
Exhibiting childlike confidence in the Word doesn’t make you gullible or naïve. Rather, it means you’re smart and functioning in the wisdom of God. Many make the Word of no effect in their own lives because they argue with the Word; they always try to rationalize the Word. Children don’t try to rationalize anything; they simply act from their standpoint of innocence, trusting the one who’s leading, guiding or instructing them. That’s how we ought to be with the Word.
Don’t hold on to religious opinions, beliefs and thoughtpatterns that are contrary to the Word. Have a childlike delight and hunger for the Word to do what it says. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been or what has happened to you; you can trust the Word and use it to effect changes in your home, academics, physical body, school, and neighbourhood.
If sickness tries to attack you, stand firm on the Word. Declare, “I’m healthy and strong, because I have the life of God in me.” If it’s fear, declare, “I’m more than a conqueror; greater is He that’s in me, than he that’s in the world.” The Word is dependable. Therefore, be bold to speak it forth, and it’ll always prevail.
Prayer
The Word of God is working and producing results in me! I’m like a tree by the streams; evergreen, bearing luscious fruits, because the Word of God is my life and sustenance. I live in divine health, supernatural abundance, and in continuous victory and prosperity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
