"And
now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is
able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are
sanctified (Acts 20:32)."
There is no gainsaying the fact that
God’s Word is dependable. The Psalmist conveyed this truth succinctly in Psalm
119:89 when he declared, "…Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in
heaven." He thus underlined the undisputable reliability of God’s Word, a
fact known to the angels, demons and all of creation. What this implies, in
effect, is that whatever God has said about you in His Word is dependable.
The Apostle Paul, in his parting
address to the brethren at Ephesus, as read in our opening scripture, commended
them to God, and to the Word of His grace, "…which is able to build you
up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified."
For the Apostle to have "delivered" God’s people to God’s Word means
the Word has enough power to build, sustain, transform and upgrade the life of
anyone who’ll trust in it.
It doesn’t matter where you have been
or what has happened to you; be of good cheer; because with the Word you can
change things! You can trust the Word to effect changes in your family, home,
finances, and physical body. All you have to do is accept what the Word says
about you as absolute truth and refuse to be compelled by natural
circumstances. You are healthy, rich, powerful, full of grace, wisdom and
strength; that is what His Word says. However, you have got to acknowledge and
declare this truth.
When sickness, poverty or fear tries
to attack you, insist on what the Word says! Shout out loud, "It is
written; I have the health of God in me! I’m rich! I’m more than a conqueror; a
bundle of success, and a victor in Christ Jesus!" This is how you stand
your ground on God’s Word and ensure its power is manifested in your life; it’s
through your confessions of faith! Whatever the Lord has said about you is
dependable, so be bold to speak the same thing in consent, and the Word will
prevail in your life.
