Text: Proverbs 4:20-22, 24:13-14, Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:1-3, Revelation 1:3
The purpose of this teaching is to learn the answer to our challenges in life are in the Word of God. Jesus Christ is the Answer. Jesus Christ is the living word of God. Everything under the Word of God and is created to obey the Word of God. Through the finished work of the Cross and the grace of God, everything was placed under the Living Word(Ephesians 1:22-23.Matthew 28:20). God has given us a sure way to receive the answers to our problems and challenges. It is His Word. Every answer or solution we need is found in the Bible. Many believers are not walking victoriously in certain areas of their lives.
This is because the devil continuously wages a war of distraction against them in their faith walk. He manages to take them away from the one thing that can bring them victory — the Word of God. He will do everything possible to prevent them from opening the Bible because he knows that the Word of God will deliver them. Even when they open, He makes sure they do not meditate in order to obey nor listen to what the Holy Spirit is teaching them from the Word of God.
The distraction can be very subtle: A lot of things to get done outside the Word of God or it may take the form of a challenge that makes you feel that you need to focus all your attention on it. The enemy knows that if he can get you to take your eyes off the Word of God, he can keep you from winning the battle.
When you are going through a challenging situation, it is not enough to know that God has the answer and pray a wordless prayer, expecting He would answer. God said “bring forth your strong reasons”(Isaiah 41:21) and He only hastens to perform His Word(Jeremiah 1:12). Therefore find the scripture in which God has promised the solution. Meditate on it until the truth of that scripture is revealed to you in your spirit (the habitation of your faith) and becomes part of your inner consciousness to build up and mix with your faith. When you then release the wisdom of God(Word of God mixed with your faith) from your mouth, the testimony will be assured as no adversary can gainsay against you.(Luke 21:15) .When you do this, no devil can prevent that Word from God from bearing fruit in your life.
Let the Word of God abide in you and the answer will come forth. Even Jesus Himself used the Word to defeat the devil in the wilderness — “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4) The way to defeat the enemy is with “It is written…”There is no substitute for the written Word. God tells us that we will find life and health if we give our attention to His Word by reading and hearing the Word, and keep it in the midst of our hearts through meditation, thinking and imagination. So get into the Word and let God’s promises abide in your spirit and mind, and the solution to the challenge will not be farfetched.
2.Speak Boldly to the Challenge and to God-Hebrews 4:16, 13:5-6; Mark 11:23-24; Psalm 103:20
Take the word out of your spirit and speak it. Let the angels take the word and do exploit with the Word of God. Wait patiently and assuredly for the answer. While waiting continue to give God praise and worship God to strengthen your faith that will receive and quench the fiery dart of the devil standing against your blessing
3. Prayer : In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I commit to make the Word of God priority in my daily living. I believe the Word of God is the answer to every challenge in life
I receive grace to read, study, meditate and follow what the Word of God says
Therefore daily I will seek from the Lord the Word for me to prevail and overcome. My body belongs to God. I’ve got authority in the Word of God over Satan, the world and the flesh. I know it, And God knows it. I hold fast to the Word I have received until I see the manifestations in Jesus Name.
