Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls (James 1:21).
"Save your souls" in the context of the theme verse above doesn’t refer to salvation from sin, but to the preservation of the salvation of the human soul. The Word of God is the basic material for the development of the recreated human spirit. As a child of God, you must open your heart and embrace the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:15). God’s Word is His wisdom, which enables you to make accurate decisions that produce glorious results with godly values. The Word in you will make you invincible in life. Embrace the Word and make it preponderant and useful in all your practical experiences in life. Some Christians unwittingly respond to situations in worldly wisdom. That’s because they’re ignorant of the Scriptures. Only the Scriptures have the ability to make you wise, programme your spirit for success, and energize you for victory. Any success outside the Word of God will be short-lived, for true success comes through the Word (Joshua 1:8). When you have the opportunity to hear God’s Word, go for it voraciously. Cherish the Word more than your necessary food and apply it to your personal life. That way, you’ll experience the blessings and reality of the Word in your life.
Prayer
I live in joy, health, peace and experience victory today because I live by the Word! I release the forces of life in my spirit upon my body, finances, academics, marriage, business and everything that has to do with me as I open my spirit and act on the Word, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
