And be not conformed
to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:2).
The Word of God gives you everything you
need: health, joy, wealth, prosperity, grace, wisdom and all that the vicarious
death of Christ and His triumphant resurrection delivered to us as Christians.
That’s what salvation encapsulates. With the knowledge of God’s Word in your
spirit, you have what it takes to create anything you want.
At the well of Samaria, Jesus encountered a
woman and asked her for a drink of water. But noticing that He was a Jew, the
woman told Him they had nothing in common, and for ethnic reasons declined.
Then, Jesus replied, "…Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst
again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never
thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water
springing up into everlasting life" (John 4:13- 14). The Master knew He
could give her something to quench her thirst for ever—the Word. With the Word,
she would be able to create anything she desired.
Often times, when people are facing difficult
situations, what they need is a Word-therapy or what I may call a
"Word-diet." They’d have to listen to God’s Word and study the
Scriptures over a period of time, until the Word gets rid of the wrong
mind-set, and reprograms them aright for success. If that doesn’t happen, no
matter what else you do for them, their situation wouldn’t change.
Sometimes, when people are sick in their
bodies, the real problem is beyond the symptoms that are apparent in their
physical bodies. Such pains might stem from their mind. There’s a difference
between the sickness of the mind, and that of the body. So even when they’re
healed in their bodies, the sickness continues, because it was really a problem
of the mind. The solution is to reprogram their minds through the Word for
total restoration.
Prayer Dear Father, your Word has come to me
today to renew my mind, and programme me for the victory-life. My faith in the
Word prevails today and always over all circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
