A Life In The Word – 2

Apostle Grace Lubega

Matthew 7:24-27(MSG); These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards.

A Life In The Word – 2The Word of God is more than an incidental addition to your life. It is the foundation on which to build a life on.

Think about it for a moment.

What is your life really built on? Money? Family? Fame? Friends?

A life in the Word is one that does not merely use the word ‘in Bible studies’ like our theme scripture says but works the word of God into its very fabric.

When your life is built on the Word, it doesn’t matter how strong the storm is, you will stand.

What is the main trait of a man whose life is built on the Word?

The continuation to our theme scripture says, ‘When Jesus concluded his address, the crowd burst into applause. They had never heard teaching like this. It was apparent that he was living everything he was saying—quite a contrast to their religion teachers! This was the best teaching they had ever heard.’ (Matthew 7:28-29).

When your life is built on the Word, you live everything you say!

If the Word says believe, you believe! If the Word says pray, you pray! If the Word says serve, you serve!

Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

When your life is built on the Word, you live everything you say!

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank you for your Word. My life is built on it. There is nothing about my life that does not have a foundation in your Word. I stand through storms because my life is built on the Word. I scale mountains because my life is built on the Word. I overcome the things that cause some to fail because my victory stems from the Word. I have chosen to believe it, in all things and at all times.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
