Most of the time it’s your thinking not your talent that holds you back Quit thinking limited, defeated, unworthy thoughts and start thinking thoughts of increase, abundance, favor and victory God didn’t make a mistake when He made you.

But He knows the way that I take, when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

My foot has held fast to His steps, I have kept His way and not turned aside.

I have not departed from the commandments of His lips, I have treasured the words of His mouth More than necessary food.

Job 23:10-12.
We serve a God who is the word ( Jesus ) and the word became flesh and dwelt amongst us and redeemed us from sin, sickness poverty and death. The above scripture portion tells us that Job is telling that after Gods testing process he will come forth as pure gold ( trials and testings are for our good ). Jobs recommended food in times of trials and testings is nothing, but the word of God. In our troubled and testing times nothing in this world can satisfy, comfort, encourage and strengthen us like the word of God.

The Bible is a supernatural book for a supernatural man living in the natural realms with natural problems. The natural can never heal by itself, the supernatural has to heal the natural, because the supernatural has created the natural, the natural can never do anything by itself, it has to depend on the supernatural for everything, for every natural problem the supernatural is the only answer and solution. The supernatural only can create, recreate, heal, deliver, prosper and restore the natural.

Jesus said man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. We require both natural food and the supernatural food the word of God to survive on this earth. If we feed on natural food our body will be healthy, but if we don’t feed our spirit with the word of God then our inner spiritual man will starve and die. If we don’t eat good, healthy and nutritious food then we will enter into heaven before our time, so we should feed on good natural and spiritual food live a long healthy and successful life and fulfill the plan and purpose that God has for us here on this earth.

Many in the body of Christ don’t read the word of God regularly, in many christian homes there will be a Bible kept in a prominent place to show others that we are Christians, but it is never opened and read regularly. There is a very very special category of religious people in the body of Christ who think that the Bible has got some power, so when they are sick they keep it under the pillow and sleep thinking that it will heal them of their sickness. The Bible is like any other printed book, it has no power by itself, even if you keep it religiously in a prominent place or under your pillow nothing will change, even after decades the book will remain the same and our condition will remain the same, but if you open the Bible read, practice and pray the word of God then your life will never be the same. You will come to know who God is, you will fall in love with the author God, then out of the Bible will flow answers to all your problems, from the Bible will flow life, health, healing, prosperity and every good thing that you desire. It will change your life here on this earth and give us a place in heaven for eternity to be with Jesus our Lord and Savior.

In many religious churches the word of God is not given much importance they just read it for a few minutes and then they move on with other religious activities which doesn’t benefit God and man. The devil has deceived the church, not the world to read, meditate and practice the Bible. It knows that if people read the Bible then they will come to know the truth and the truth will set them free and sadly many religious churches have fallen prey to its tactics and lies. The devil has no problem as long as your name is registered in the church register, it has no problem as long as you go regularly, religiously to the church, but the devil has a real problem when we open the Bible read, listen, meditate, practice, pray and preach the word of God. The devil knows that if people read the Bible then they will know the truth Jesus and it will have to run with its leftover life, that is why it will fight tooth and nail against the moving and spreading of the Gospel and sadly many religious churches and religious people have fallen prey to its tactics, they don’t evangelise in their entire life time and they don’t allow others to evangelise. The devil’s strategy is to take maximum number of people along with it to Hell, say no to the devil read, listen, meditate, pray, practice and preach the word of God and spend eternity in heaven with Jesus.

Beloved even if you lose anything and everything on this earth never lose the habit of reading, listening, meditating, praying, practicing and preaching the word of God. In our troubled times nothing can satisfy, comfort, encourage and strengthen us like the word of God. One word from God, one small prayer of faith can turn things around, close your sad story make it history and give you brand new beginnings.

So shall My word be that goes from My mouth, It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:11.
Heavenly Father thank You for the word. Lord give us the grace to thirst for the word, give us the grace to read, listen, meditate, pray, practice and preach the word. Lord we uphold every religious church and person who do not give importance to the word, open their eyes of understanding and let them know the truth and let the truth set them free. Lord we specially ask of You that through this Bible study program the gospel will move speedily without any hindrance or opposition to the far ends of the earth, in Jesus name we ask and pray.
Amen and Amen.
God loves you
Blessings
