The Word of God will only profit you when you live
it, when you consciously practise or do what it says.
For example, our opening scripture is something you should
practise. Live in that scripture and let it be your daily walk. A
learner can make mistakes. So in practising the Word, you
may miss it, but don’t give up and say, “Well, I tried.” Keep at
it, and you’ll surely get better.
The latter part of our opening verse says, “Be ye
therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is
perfect” (Matthew 5:48). As you keep at it, you’d discover
that you’re making lesser mistakes, until you can confidently
say, “I have the mind of Christ.” As a Christian, practising
the Word is how you can enjoy its full benefits in your life,
because the power of God is in His Word (Romans 1:16). If
you want to see more of the power of God in your life, you
must keep acting on the Word. For example, the Word says,
“Be anxious for nothing...” (Philippians 4:6 NKJV); practise
it. Refuse to worry or fret about what you’ll eat or wear,
where to stay, etc.; rather, by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
We’ve been called to live the Word of God. Jesus
Christ is the Living Word, and the Bible says we’re as He is.
Paul said, “Ye are our epistles...” (2 Corinthians 3:2). That
means we’re the expression of the Word. 1 Peter 1:23 says,
Practise The Word
SATURDAY
9
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth
forever.” Since you’re born of the Word, you must live by the
Word that made you, because every living thing must remain
connected to its source. So, stay connected and live the Word
in your daily walk.
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you
for the revelation of your Word
to my spirit. I’m connected to the
Word; therefore I’m blossoming
and flourishing by the Word,
producing durable results to the
glory of your Name. I think the
right thoughts, and my life is the
daily expression and
manifestation of your Word, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
