Beloved, there is something you must never ever forget. Both your earthly and eternal well-being is determined by what you are presently doing with God’s unchanging, eternal, infallible words in the Bible.
Your personal decision and conviction to embrace and be obedient to the entirety of the word of God can bring you into profitable and beneficial relationship with Him on this side of heaven and at eternity.
May this be your portion in Jesus mighty name.
Very unfortunately, your attitude and resolve to reject any part of the same word of God can build impregnable wall of separation between you and Him, here now and hereafter at eternity.
May this never be your portion in Jesus mighty name .
Beloved see some of the things you must know about the word of God.
1. No one of it shall fail.
Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shal5l want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
2. What it says is binding for ever.
Isa 40:7 — 8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
3. It will do what it says now and at eternity. Don’t ever forget.
Isa 55:10 — 11 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
4. It has creative potency. God used it to create the world.
Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
5. God magnifies the minutest of His word, more than His name.
Psa 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple,and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth:for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
6. It is settled both on earth and in heaven for ever.
Psalms 119:89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
7. It guarantees your earthly and eternal desirable good success.
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
No wonder apostle John was willing to stake his one life for it, when he was banished to Patmos, a deadly and fearful island. See it.
Revelation 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Beloved, you too must be willing to do exactly what apostle John did. If not see what God will do with anyone that do contrary.
Psa 50:16 — 22 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him,and hast been partaker with adulterers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son. These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
But see what the word can do for you if you are like apostle John.
1. Prosperity of your endeavors.
Psa 1:1 — 3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
2. Teaching you to profit here and hereafter.
Isa 48:17 — 18 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Beloved, like apostle John, you are under compulsion to live by it’s entirety for a guarantee earthly and eternal well-being. This shall be your portion in Jesus mighty name.
Deu 8:2 — 3 And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
Dearly beloved, it is true that Jesus Christ is your undeniable Savior and Redeemer. But He is more than this. He is the living, spoken and written word of God. Always remember this.
Jn 1:1 — 2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear recordn heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Rev 19:11 — 13 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, a hind in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God
Dearly beloved, you must discover that when you conscientiously live by the entirety of God’s unfailing words in the Bible, you are likely to forfeit peace with your loved ones and a lot of other people. See it yourself.
Mat 10:32 — 39 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
No wonder apostle John patiently endured tribulation that came upon him, because of what Jesus said above, about the word of God. See it yourself.
Revelation 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Dearly beloved, because of this, Jesus Christ our Lord and savior commanded you in particular to live by the entirety of the scriptures.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
This becomes necessary because you shall be justified or condemned here and hereafter by what you are doing presently with the word of God.. I earnestly pray for you that the word of God shall justify you in particular in Jesus name. So determinedly live by it, till Christ comes.
Mat 12:36 — 37 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Jn 12:46 — 48 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Friend, do you know why multitude of churchgoers globally shall be conspicuously missing during the dawning rapture? This shall not be your portion in Jesus mighty name.
It is because they called Jesus Christ Lord, but obstinately rejected His unfailing words in the Bible. They choose the lifestyle of flagrantly disobeying the Bible.
Mat 7:21 — 23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
But then Because, you are not going to be like them, follow the good example of apostle John, whose life was threatened and yet wholeheartedly lived by the entirety of the scriptures..
Revelation 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Friend, doing this according to Jesus makes you wise.
Mat 7:24 — 26 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
In addition to being wise, you shall be part of this imminent event and avoid great tribulations in Jesus name.
Rev 3:10 — 11 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
This shall be your portion in Jesus mighty name.
