MAKING THE WORD WORK
Text: Luke 5:4-6
By: Adeaga O. Favour
God's word operates like an orange, if you don't suck or squeeze out the juice, you don't get the best of it. Heb 4:2 says "For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it."
Faith activates God's word to work in whatever situation it is administered. Little wonder Mark 9:23 tells us that to anyone who believes, all things are possible. If the devil can make you doubt God's word, then he can make you miss out in God's move through His word.
All that the word has for you are delivered on the platform of faith. For example, after their encounter with the word made flesh, the blind men got their healing because of their faith (Matt 9:29-30). When you lay hold on the word, dare to believe and the proof shall be visible for all to see.
REFLECTION FOR TODAY:
The level to which we believe God's word is the level to which it works for us.
PRAY:
Lord, please deliver me from unbelief and grant me the Spirit of faith.
