Receive the engrafted Word

 

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.

Friends, living a Christian lifestyle has become difficult in this last day, but the good news is that, as we embrace the Word of God as our mirror, it transfers the ability for Christian living to us, and in turn, we end up enjoying the Christian lifestyle. Our scripture above reminds us that until the Word of God is engrafted into us, we cannot truly function in the normal way of a Christian living. So, as God’s children, we are meant to have His Word engrafted 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 twoedged 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.

Interestingly, the engrafted Word can fix any problem and influence both our physical man and spiritual man. It also instills grace in us to act and to do His will. Therefore, 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 lives; we just need to be open-minded towards God’s word daily. I urge us to open our hearts today as we receive the engrafted word for total transformation 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, so as to produce genuine fruits in this kingdom, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, if the engrafted tree can bear the new fruit, we too can be grafted into right living as we align, daily.
