EXHORTATION through the BOOK of LIFE
Scripture to ponder on:
“And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked. The same heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole, said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.”
Acts 14:8-10 ASV
*BUILD YOUR FAITH ON A DAILY BASIS*
Beloved, if you want to have faith for your breakthroughs, make sure you hear and believe in God through the word of Christ. Moreover, in Romans 10:17, it is the word of Christ, not the word of God, as written in some biblical translations. What's the difference? The word of Christ refers to the word of the new covenant, the word of His grace.
In the book of Acts, the apostle Paul says: "So now, brothers, I recommend you to God and to the word of His grace, who is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified" (Acts 20:32). What is able to build you and give you an inheritance among the saints? It is the word of His grace or the word of Christ. The Bible exhorts us to "let the word of Christ [Christos] dwell in us richly in all wisdom" (Col. 3:16).
In the grip of uncertainty? Continue to hear messages full of grace and the completed work of our Lord Jesus as it was proclaimed by the apostle Paul. This is what the crippled man did in today's verses. Continue to hear how your sins were all forgiven by Christ and how you are today the righteousness of God in Christ. Continue to hear how much God loves you, watches over you, provides for your needs and delivers you from all your uncertainties.
My friend, when you give priority to the word of Christ on a daily basis, it will live richly in you. And it is this word of His grace that will build your faith and hope. It will make you run to Him with confidence instead of turning to your efforts. It will make you overcome all difficulties and make you a giant to whom others can turn to when going through a dark valley.
Jesus’ beloved !
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
