So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts for it has the power to save your souls. -James 1:21 (NLT)
ACCEPT GOD’S WORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you any troubles and sins you want to get rid off?
Get rid of all the evil in your life and focus on the Lord
Listen to his voice inside you and accept his word
It will bring you peace and victory in this world.
The word of God is alive and has power
It can defeat the enemy and make him cower
Humbly accept what the word teaches you
It will transform your life and have your mind renewed.

What stops people from accepting God’s word? There are many reasons why Christians fail to feed on God’s word. We live in troubled times and the enemy has infiltrated our pure hearts with all kinds of filth and evil. Satan hindered my acceptance of the word of God through idolatry, arrogance, pride and performance. I lived a life that was very worldly. I followed the standards that the world set because I was ignorant of God’s will for me. I didn’t know any better. When God called me to accept his word, my life was totally transformed. Let us rid of all the evil and humbly accept his word in order to receive salvation.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your word. Let me feed on it daily.
REFLECTION
How has the word of God transformed you?
