I don’t know the problems you may be facing right now, but I have discovered where you can get the solution to them. It is possible you have gone to places, people, and did everything you were asked to do; yet the problems have remain unsolved. The fact that there are there causes more problems to you; right?
Today, if only you would accept what I am going to share with you, as simple as it may appear to be; it works powerfully. It is working for me, and I have heard and still hearing testimonies of people who practice the same thing, and they enjoying peace like never before.
Do you know my discovery? It is the word of God; it works powerfully. I am certain, as a Christian, you are reading it, and you might think that what I am saying is no news. You know what; I realized that most times we treat God’s word as mere information or stories; but it is beyond that.
Does that interest you? Perhaps you are thinking there is nothing new about God’s word that you have not heard. I also thought so, but my thinking changed when I approached it with a purpose as I was taught by other preachers of the word. I found it very helpful that is why I am eager to share it with you.
I have discovered that many of us are struggling with issues that normally wouldn’t have been a challenge to us at all if we knew how to use God’s word properly. But we are like Na’aman in the Bible when Elisha asked him to go and dip himself seven times and be cured of leprosy, he said,
“Behold, I thought that he would surely come to me and stand and call upon the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper”. 2 Kings 5:11
And he mentioned better rivers he knew in his country which he could have washed in them than River Jordan.
In the same way, we think our problems are huge that they require dramatic approach.We think we need a man of God full of anointing to pray for us, and then boom, a miracle would take place.Even if it were so, how do you think he got the anointing?
Good news for you; the power of God is in every believer to help you live a successful life. The man of God you are thinking of, have discovered that truth and he is following it.Now, if I may ask, why can’t you do the same and live a successful life, than struggling with frustration going to places with nothing to show?
Now, here are some facts about God’s word you must not take it for granted. Take time and read them with purpose, and you will get a new perspective about it. There you go.
The absolute integrity of the Bible, the word of God
“And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit”.
