TEXT:
Rom. 10:8-10, MORE LESSONS: Num. 13:26-33
One
of the lessons God sought to teach the Israelites during the forty years of
wandering in the desert was to bring them to a definite realisation of the
power and supremacy of His Word over all situations. It is only by this clear
understanding that people can wait for the fulfilment of God's Word. The Lord
also expects His Church to understand that it was for a purpose that He took
the people by the way of the wilderness where they encountered hunger, thirst,
snakes, wars etc. In all of these God showed the sufficiency of His Word to
provide water, food, deliverance from Egypt etc. The lesson today is that for a
man to be what God wants him to be, he must be delivered from Egypt and self.
Until
a man is delivered from self, it is difficult to learn of God. He wanted Israel
to learn to trust His Word in spite of the difficulties. His Word rules over
all. He also taught the people to remain resolute in their faith even in the
face of opposition. To become anything in God's hands, you must learn to live
by His Word even when others don't.
God
expects you to stand on His Word as you make choices in all matters, even when such
choices are unpopular, as long as they are godly and scriptural, stick to them.
God's Word has everything that you need for godliness and prosperity in life
and destiny. Read it, obey it and activate its force by confessing it. No
matter how great an automobile is, until you ignite the engine none of its
capabilities and functions will be useful. You need to ignite the Word by
speaking it. Everything is in the Word but it will not go to work for you until
you take it out of the written to the spoken, ...The word is nigh thee, even in
thy mouth, and in thy heart.... Rom.10:8. So for effectiveness of the Word,
read it, believe it in your heart and confess it. Activate the Word today by
believing and confessing it and see the Word go to work.
