You Are The Message

Apostle Grace Lubega 

1 Thessalonians 1:8(MSG); The word has gotten around. Your lives are echoing the Master’s Word, not only in the provinces but all over the place. The news of your faith in God is out. We don’t even have to say anything anymore–[you’re] the message!

The Word of God can consume a man entirely until that man becomes the Message. 

This was the very experience of the Thessalonian church in our theme scripture.

But what was so unique about the Thessalonian church in their relationship with the Word of God?

In 1 Thessalonains 2:13, Paul says of this church, “For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.”

When the Word was preached to them, they received it not as the words of men but as the Words of God. Therein is the power.

Everytime we embrace the Word and acknowledge that it is from God Himself, it works in us to turn us into what it says.

This is your story as a believer. You do not merely speak about healing, you are healing. You do not merely speak of God’s divine providence, you are that providence. You don’t merely teach wisdom, you are the epitome of wisdom.

Glory to God!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Everytime we embrace the Word and acknowledge that it is from God Himself, it works in us to turn us into what it says.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you because your Word dwells richly in me. It has consumed every area of my being and dictates my every action. I breathe, walk and sleep the Word. It is in my blood, mind, heart and bones. It is the mark of my speech and the basis of my decisions. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
