TRANSFORMED BY THE WORD




“So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified”. Acts 20:32.

As Disciples of Christ who are born into the Kingdom of God’s Son, if we must enjoy the full package of following Christ, then we must of necessity seek to grow in our walk with Jesus Christ on a daily basis. If we don’t grow, we will only be undoing ourselves. Spiritual maturity is what will help us to keep standing when the trials and temptations of life come our way.

God has made provisions, through His word whereby we can grow in our walk with Christ. When we allow the word of God to take root in us, then we can say that we are making progress in our journey with God.

Mind you, this is beyond having head knowledge about God or of the Bible. This has to do with having knowledge about God which is directly transforming our lives to becoming the image of Jesus Christ.

It is good now that the Bible is very available and handy. Take advantage of it and pray to God to help you have an encounter with the Spirit behind the Word. Then your transformation will begin.

Also, thanks be to God for Spirit-inspired materials in the forms of sermon, books and articles both in hard and softcopies which are readily available to help you get the knowledge about the personality of Christ. Take advantage of these materials so as to transform your life.

While you work on yourself to go beyond just being a hearer, reader or listener to becoming a doer of the word of God, for then will you begin to see the transformation that comes by the word in your life.
                                              
“But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed”. James 1:25.
