Text: James
1:21(KJV)
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity
of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to
save your souls.
Living a Christian lifestyle has become difficult for
this generation, but the good news is that, as we use the Word of God as a
mirror, it imprints and transfers the ability for Christian living into us, and
in turn, we end up enjoying the Christian lifestyle. Our scripture of today
reminds us that until the Word of God is engrafted in us, we cannot truly
function in the normal way of a Christian living. As God’s children, we are
meant to have His Word imprinted in us because it is sealed into our lives by the
Holy Spirit. The Word of God is a strong vessel and weapon, and it being sealed
in our lives makes us stronger and dependent on it. Hebrews 4:12-For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged
sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The imprinted word in your heart can fix any problem and
influence both our physical man and spiritual man. It also instills grace in us
to act and to do. We all need this Word, but we must have an open heart to the
Holy Spirit because He is our teacher. John 14:16- And I will pray the
Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.
As we keep hearing
the Word of God, it gets rid of all filthy expressions around us. The Word also
has the capacity to be imprinted into our lives; we just need to be open-minded
towards the manual of life. So I urge you to have an open heart to His Word and
see it become engrafted in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINTS:
1.Oh Lord, may God’s nature be planted in our lives, so as to
allow the cell of the Word of life to geminate, in Jesus name.
2.Father, please help us to continue to meditate on the Word
of God, as to get rid of all filthy lifestyle in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Do not live with the old nature rather allow the engrafting of your new nature in Christ.
