Sept 18                                                               The Power of God’s Word
Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.
-John 17:17(NLT)
GOD’S WORD IS TRUTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Is your life anchored on the standards of this world?
Do you study and live by God’s word?
Those who believe in Christ are called to live a holy life
They are expected to seek him and stay in the light.
Staying constantly focused on the truth will set you free
It will keep you from sin and will bring you victory
The word of God guides and makes you holy
It is the truth that strengthens you if you follow it.
Are you a believer of God? Do you know the difference between the truth and a lie? There are many Christians that live in confusion because they choose to follow their human nature. Our nature tends to focus on “satisfying the self.” It is selfish by nature but God can change that if we know the truth and follow his Spirit’s call to become more like him. The word of God changes lives. I testify to this because it is the truth that freed me from all the bondages of sin and strongholds in my life. Jesus prayed for all believers in John 17:17 for us to seek the word, which is the truth. It protects us from our fallen nature.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me hungry for your word.
REFLECTION
How has the word changed you?
