THERE IS MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE WORD OF GOD

Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we  beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full  of grace and truth.
        This verse of Scripture reveals the truth about the formation of the human character or personality. It  teaches that it is possible for the character of a person to be known before he or she is born through the words that were spoken and meditated upon prior to conception.  Jesus Christ  is the word of God metamorphosed into a human body by the word spoken and meditated upon by Mary (Luke 1:31-38)
       The scriptures says in Jeremiah 1: 5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee;  and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and  I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." meaning we all existed in a spiritual word format well known by God before we were conceived in our mother's wombs. In psalm 51: 5 "Behold, I was shapen in  iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." this implies that we became sinners from birth by reason of the word of sin in the hearts of our parents transferred from previous  generations down to Adam . Likewise, it is by the  purging of our hearts through a rebirth  that we become righteous ,the scriptures says in Psalm 51:10" Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within  me." this means a person can be given a new personality by God through the Spirit of His word.
         The word of God is the only thing with the capacity to recreate a personality in line with God's will.  The bible is a compendium of the results of the social experiment between humanity and divinity. The scriptures says in 2 Pet.1: 21 "For the prophecy  came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake  as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." these words were written for the benefit of humanity and  given through the Holy Ghost for the transformation of our lives for the better, 2Timothy 3:16-17 says "All scripture  is  given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for  reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the  man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." The bible is best appreciated when read contextually, and understood using a syntactically analytical approach . This method requires close analysis of each word in context and its relevance in society. Those who claim that the bible contradicts itself aren't sincere and schooled in the interpretation of scriptures.
       The bible isn't the word of men as claimed by many but of God ( 1Thess.2:13) it is alive with life-transforming power (Joh6:63)it has creative capabilities (Psalm33:6,9 ) and it is what holds the universe together (Heb11:3)
       It is the believer's weapon of warfare (Eph.6:17) the word of God in the mouth of a believer makes him or her dangerous against the forces of darkness (Jer.5:14,23:29) it is the word of God stored in our hearts that keeps Satan and demons away ( 1john2:14, Matthew 4:4-11, Heb.4:12) therefore, if a person is bound by any shameful addictive behaviour, declaring what the word of God says about that situation triggers a reaction that leads to the liberation of the person's soul from satanic bondage.  For instance,a drug or sex addict could declare " Satan , my body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and I am holy therefore I reject your sinful ideas and declare that sin has no mastery over me. Through the cleansing  power in the blood of Jesus Christ I decree and declare the destruction  of every ungodly appetite for ( mention the habit ) and declare that the zeal of the house of the lord consumes me in Jesus name. I am free from ( mention the habit again ) and the sin of ( mention the name of the habit) shall not have dominion over me in Jesus name  " this prayer is a combination of Rom6:14,1Jn1:7, Jn8:36 and has the potential to liberate anybody from satanic addictions. That's why the greatest disservice anyone can do to themselves is not meditating on scriptures daily ..
         It's of no benefit that a man is released from prison and yet moves around handcuffed.  The teaching of the message of grace that says God understands our shortcomings and isn't concerned about our morality is half truth and opens the doors of our homes to the enemy. Yes, God loves us unconditionally and accepts us the way we are but seeks a glorious life for each one of us. The simple truth is that sin kills( Rom.6:23) marriages, businesses, jobs, ministries, communities etc. therefore, it will be an incomplete gospel to say that the lord saves us from sin but not from its effect. Jesus saves men from drug addictions,homosexuality,marital infidelities, fear, prostitution, poverty etc ,these are the effects of the sinful nature in the human heart. The scriptures says in John 8:36 "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free  indeed." the word ' indeed ' is the Greek word 'ontos' which means 'really' this means one can truly be saved from an undesirable situation .  Therefore,  spiritual reforms translates into physical reforms: anything outside this is a fraud.
      The gospel converts the soul (psalm 19:7a) through the word we receive the rejuvenation of our spirits (1Pet.1:23) through it a corrupted soul can be cleansed , this is how a nation tackles the problem of corruption (psalm 119:9)thus, every time we hear or read the word of God and receive it by faith into our hearts , ungodly appetites are destroyed (Jn.15:3) .If you don't like the way your life is, then feed your heart with God's Word and watch your life get transformed into the  glorious life that Christ purchased for us on the cross. It tastes bitter at the beginning and then as sweet as honey ( Rev.10:9) Receive grace for a transformed life as you receive Jesus Christ as lord and saviour and  read this now in Jesus name.
