The Word

The Word of God is the one thing that humanity needs to flourish  in every way, at all times and in every place! Our greatest error as believers is the neglect of the Word of God. This is not referring to   people not reading the Bible( which in itself is often true) but much more about the believers not paying attention to receive the Word into our hearts and live by that Word. Man was created by God to live by the Word. That means we flourish like a tree by the rivers in the Word and wither like a tree in the desert without it. The two key processes of operating in the Word are receiving that Word into the heart and doing  what the Word says. If only we will pay attention to His Word, our lives will never know failure, dryness, sickness, lack, etc. Many believers still do not understand that every thing we need, whether physical or spiritual is in the Word. If they do, they will pay more attention to the Word than they currently do. Let these devotionals and teachings deepen your understand of the Word of God and cause you to become even more diligent to continually receive the Word into your spirit and act upon it daily.
