Time With Christ: 3 March 2015 Tuesday Daily Devotion - It Is For Your Good

Topic: It is for Your Good (Tuesday, March 3, 2015)

Memorize: The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. - Psalm 19:7

Read: (2 Timothy 3:15-17 KJV)

15. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

MESSAGE:

Getting your breakthrough does not necessarily depend on the discovery of new methods, but on receiving fresh revelations from the Word of God. Every revelation from the Word produces a manifestation in the lives of individual, and consequently in the life of a nation. While many view God's word as ordinary, a few see it as a divine weapon (Hebrew 4:12).

One reason why the Word fails to deliver its potential to us is our attitude to it. This includes how we see and receive the Word. If you casually take the Word as ordinary, you render it powerless, but if you take it seriously, it will aid your spiritual development. The Word is good for us because it brings hope to a hopeless situation, brings life to a lifeless situation and reverses the irreversible. The Word is the platform on which we should lay the foundation of our desires and requests. The moment the Word is released by God on any issue of life, you can safely act on it. In 2 Timothy 2:15, we are commanded to study to show ourselves approved unto God. There is a great depth in God's Word. By engaging the Word, you are opening yourself up to great revelations, hidden treasures and fresh insight. If you do this continually, you are changing your life subconsciously (Psalm 119:11).

The Word of God is one of the weapons with which you can fight the devil and every unpleasant situation of life. With the Word, you can begin to defeat the enemy during temptations and attacks.

The Word is good for renewing your mind, because it reveals God's thoughts to you, and it makes you see things through God's eyes. The Word that God send to meet your needs is all en-compassing. Psalm 107:20 says:

'He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.'

I decree that the Word that will change your life for good and have a great impact on your destiny will come quickly in Jesus'Name. There are some believers who do not tremble at the Word of God. In our churches today, when the Word is going out, there are some people who will be holding discussions with others; chatting about things that do not matter. This should be stopped. We are to tremble at God's Word. We are to pay close attention to the Word anywhere we are. If you tremble at the Word, you will take down notes while reading it and you will put the Word into practice. On the day of the Lord's return, the Word alone will form the basis of assessing what we did. You cannot be a victorious Christian with your own strength. You have to depend on the Word of God to be able to fix every issue of your life.

Key Point: When you study the Word. You are putting Christ in your heart.
