THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GOD’S WORD. (Part 3)

SONG

Something more than gold

Something more than silver

The Spirit of God in the hearts of men

It's something more than gold.

TEXT

 "Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees." (Job.4 verse 4 )

 If I may ask, how have you  experienced the Word of God in your own life?

Looking not at my own experiences alone, but in addition at the countless lives that have been touched by the sacred Word of God, either through this very devotional or some other kind of spiritual resources; one can attest to the fact that God's Word is truly "quick and powerful". God's Word delivers what it says. It  has done tremendous things in the lives of many people in our ministry, and I believe, on other platforms as well. I encourage the one that is reading this devotional message of today to ponder deeply upon the manner in which God's Word has taken root within your heart and what result it has brought into your life.

  The Psalmist, in Psalms 119 stanza 50 seems to have had the Word of God as his companion. Let us look at what he has to say, "This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me."

According to him, the Word of God gave him comfort in times of his affliction.

 Sometimes , you experience  moments when your spirit has been stirred by some inspiration  from passages of Scriptures or from messages by some gospel preachers, bringing forth comfort, understanding and clarity in times of confusion. No doubt, at dark moments of one's life, God's Word can be relied upon as an anchor to the troubled soul, resulting in peace, joy and rejoicing. This was the experience of Prophet Jeremiah as expressed in Jeremiah 15 verse 16:

 "Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts."

What's been your experience during your trying moments in life? Did you find solace in God's promises at such times? As you ponder upon your own experiences, what testimony can you share with someone that's going through some testing moments? Understand that your testimony can serve to guide or to encourage someone around you that's going through similar circumstances of life.

PRAYER

Precious Father, thank You for Your Word that has worked in my life and has kept and enabled me to move forward in life with great success, in Jesus' name.
