DIMENSIONS OF THE WORD (3): THE WORD IS SURGICAL

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)

When we say that the Word is surgical, we mean to say that the Word has the power to open up your spirit, soul and body and stitch, repair or replace whatever is missing, damaged, or failing. The Word can cut open your spirit, soul and body. That is exactly this surgical dimension that our opening text is speaking about. The Word of Yahweh is sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the dividing asunder of the soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. The Word can cut your body open and remove cancer cell without physically cutting you open but when you go to the doctors or laboratory, they would confirm that you don’t have any cancer any more. Beloved, with the Word in your mouth you can cut off sickness, disease or infection from your body. The Word of Yahweh in your mouth in the name of the Lord Yahushua is a surgical knife that can cut off any pain harassing your life. As a Pastor, this is the way the author deals with satanic affliction in the life of the people. I just lay hands on the person and I cut off the hold of that devil in the life of the person in the name of the Lord Yahushua and it is settled.

DIMENSIONS OF THE WORD (1): THE WORD IS CREATIVE

DIMENSIONS OF THE WORD (1): THE WORD IS CREATIVE

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)

In Genesis 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 17, 20, we saw Yahweh speaking the Word and the result is the world that we see today. Yahweh’s Word is creative. Whatever He calls forth comes into being. John 1:1-3 lets us know that “1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him? and without him was not any thing made that was made.” By the creative force of the Word, the universe as we see it today was brought forth. All things were made by the Word and they are being sustained by the Word. Hebrews 1:3 (Amp) says ‘upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power.’ The mighty Word of His power that created all things is the same Word that is upholding, maintaining, guiding and propelling the universe day in day out. The Word of Yahweh is more powerful than a nuclear reactor. There is no nuclear reactor that can propel the universe for over 13.8 billion years now. The creative Word of Yahweh perfectly and excellently placed everything in such a position that it has never needed an adjustment from the very time the Word spoke them into existence.

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (7): BY IMPARTING DIVINE WISDOM

For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:6 (KJV)

It is practically impossible to function in this kingdom outside the Word of Yahweh. This is because all that makes for real life and godliness are the impartation of the Word. The Word builds us up by giving us Divine Wisdom. Proverbs 4:7 says, ‘Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.’ Wisdom is the trait of utilizing knowledge and experience with common sense and insight. It is the ability to apply knowledge or experience or understanding or common sense and insight. It is the quality of being prudent and sensible. There are four kinds of Wisdom according James 3:15-18. The first kind of Wisdom is earthly or natural wisdom. It is the wisdom that we are born with as human being. Even though a child is just born, he/she does not put his/her mother’s breast in his/her nose and start sucking, earthly wisdom enables the child to put breast in his/her mouth and to suck. He/she does not need any lecture to get that done. Secondly, we have sensual wisdom. This is the wisdom acquired in the citadel of learning. It is also called intellectual wisdom. It comes through intellectual training and it enhances our social status. Thirdly, we have Devilish wisdom. This is the wisdom of diabolism and the occult. It is destructive in nature and it is used by magicians, witches, wizards and the occult. Then fourthly, we have the Wisdom from above. This is divine Wisdom and comes by interaction with the Word of Yahweh, the Bible.

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (6): BY TEACHING THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (6): BY TEACHING THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Psalms 34:11 (KJV)

The Word teaches us the fear of the Lord. Is it not a wonderful thing that the fear of the Lord can be learnt. That means no one is disadvantaged in life. Just anyone can learn the fear of the Lord and function in the realms of power and glory in their relationship with Yahweh. The Fear of the Lord is reverence for the Lord. It is having a sense of awe for the person, presence and emotions of the Lord. It is living your life in such a way and with the sole priority to please the Lord and bring glory to His holy name. Our relationship with the Father starts with surrendering to the Lordship of Yahushua HaMashiach. John 14:6 says, ‘Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.’ If you have not accepted the Lord Yahushua as Lord and Personal Saviour, then you do not have a relationship with the Father because the scriptures cannot be broken. At the fall of Adam, humanity came short of the glory of the Father. It is only in Yahushua that we are reconciled, restored and empowered to fellowship with the Father. Another need to be saved is that at the fall of Adam, humanity acquired the nature of Satan. But at salvation, you become a new creation with the nature of righteousness of the Lord Yahushua. It is this nature of righteousness that makes it possible to be and live holy lives as a new creation. Holiness is the basis of a valid relationship with the Father (see II Timothty 2.19). Having become a new creation in HaMashiach, you must conform your soul and body to this new man in HaMashiach by doing the Word. It is the fear of the Lord that brings about doing the Word.

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (4): BY PROVOKING EXPECTATION

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (4): BY PROVOKING EXPECTATION

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 1:15 (KJV)

Our opening text looks like a negative scripture but please follow me. This scripture explains what happens with expectation. This scripture is talking about desire/lust. From verse 14 it started saying that every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own desire/lust and enticed. Then it said that lust/desire when it is conceived, brings forth sin. This is powerful. What you only need to do in this process was to conceive a desire. However, when that process of conception of desire or expectation is finished, it activates chain of reactions and processes that brings about a product. Expectation is defined as belief about (or mental picture of) the future. It is anticipating with confidence of fulfilment of something. The Word shows you the character of Yahweh, the provisions He has made for you, the outcomes of obeying Him and His provisions. All these knowledge deposit an expectation into you and when this expectation is conceived, it brings forth. Proverbs 23:18 says, “For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.” This is the winning ways of the Word. It has the ability to impart expectation that determines manifestation. You can never see manifestation beyond your expectation. It is expectation that sets the limits for divine manifestations in your life. And this is both in the positive and the negative side.

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (3): BY IMPARTING THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (3): BY IMPARTING THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Colossians 1:9 [KJV]

The Knowledge of Yahweh’s Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding is the goldmine that when you hit it, your life and world turns around 360 degrees instantly. Coming to the knowledge of His Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding is so crucial that you should be praying like Apostle Paul both for yourself and especially for your family members to come to this dimension in the Word. The Knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and spiritual understanding means coming to know the will of Yahweh and being filled with the spiritual understanding to process it as it relates to you and receiving the Wisdom to apply it to your life in order to come into the reality of what it is saying. Firstly is knowing the Will of Yahweh and the Will of Yahweh is what is in the Word, the Bible. The Bible is the Will of Yahweh for you the believer. The Will defines your inheritance and allotments; that is exactly what the Word does, showing you what belongs to you in HaMashiach and the path to take to take delivery of it. Knowing the Will of Yahweh is critical because, you can only act according to knowledge. But then, knowledge alone is not enough.

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (2): BY IMPARTING THE SPIRIT OF FAITH

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (2): BY IMPARTING THE SPIRIT OF FAITH

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17 [KJV]

The Word does not only inform us, it transforms us. It transforms us by imparting the Spirit of Yahweh to us or put another way, the faith of Yahweh. John 6:63 says that the Word is spirit and life. The problem we have is running from the Word. If you can just make the Word your best friend and be diligent to read, study, and meditate, the Word would impart you effortlessly with the faith required to see the Word come to pass in your life. The Word builds us up by imparting us with the spirit of faith. The spirit of faith is the force that compels obedience to the Word of Yahweh. The truth is that it is not just the knowledge of the Word that transforms, it is the response of faith to the Word that transforms. Until you respond to the Word in faith, it would just be like a story to you. But what we are saying today is that faith is not what you scratch your head to get. Faith is automatic with the Word entering your spirit-man. Faith comes by hearing and understanding the Word. Your task is to dedicate yourself to the Word. Know all that we have already discussed about the Word being eternal and infallible. Believe that the Word is Yahweh speaking to you today. Then respond as if the Word is true and see what happens. Faith is not a struggle. Anybody residing on the lane and even the room of the Word will come under the force called faith and that effortlessly.

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (1): BY IMPARTING A MINDSET

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:2 (KJV)

In this month of May, we are looking at the theme “Yahweh’s Word builds me up and shows me my inheritance in The Dependable Yahweh”. We are going to examine how the Word accomplishes the task of building us up. This is important because your inheritance is not in view until you are built up. You only qualify to enter into your inheritance in HaMashiach as you come to full development. The Word builds us up by imparting a mindset to us. When you gave your life to HaMashiach, it was your spirit-man that was born again. Your spirit-man was recreated according to the image of the Son of Yahweh, at new birth. Your soul was not saved then, your body was not saved also. The saving of the soul is a gradual process and involves the active partnership between the believer, the Word and the Holy Spirit. The soul comprises of the mind, the will and the emotions. You must educate your mind/intellect by the Word. You must also conform your will to the Word and bring your emotions under the influence of the Word and all these is not a day’s job. It is a gradual process.

OBSTACLES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (5): HALF-HEARTED SUBMISSION

OBSTACLES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (5): HALF-HEARTED SUBMISSION

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.
II Chronicles 25:2 (KJV)

Half-heartedness is a state of feeling or showing little interest or enthusiasm. This is a state where you are not excited by the Word and that shows in not having enthusiasm for it. Remember that we had said earlier that it takes staying long in the Word to encounter the deep things of the Word that makes you come into the dimension of the Word that delivers to you your inheritance. But where there is lack of enthusiasm, there is not going to be that energy to stay long in the Word. A half-hearted submission to the Word is not going to be able to access the Word because of lack of interest. Yahweh does not force a relationship with us. Relationship with Him is a function of whosoever is interested. Psalms 122:1 says, ‘I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.’ It is your interest that drives you to seeking to know the Lord. What is the problem with the half-hearted submission? It is its lack of interest in the Word of the Lord. The drive to know the Lord and His Word is not existing in the half-hearted person. Any encouragement you seem to be giving to the person appears as if you are dragging him/her against his/her will. All we are trying to show today is that this kind of half-hearted submission is a hindrance to accessing the Word and when you can’t access the Word, it can’t build you up and as long as you are not built up, you cannot be entrusted with your inheritance. For “1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all? 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.” (Galatians 4:1-2).

OBSTACLES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (1): THE WAYSIDE SYNDROME

OBSTACLES TO ACCESSING THE WORD (1): THE WAYSIDE SYNDROME

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
Matthew 13:4 (KJV)

We shall start to examine the things that stop us from accessing, receiving and walking in the light of the Word. The Lord Yahushua told a parable in the book of Matthew chapter 13 of a sower that went to the field to sow seeds. In interpreting that parable to His disciples, we saw that the seed is the Word of Yahweh (see Luke 8:11). The field is the world. As you hear the Word of the Lord by reading, studying or listening, it is likened to a sower sowing the seed into your heart. Until the seed germinates, grows and bears fruit, it has not achieved the purpose of the sower. The fruits of the Spirit, the fruits of a changed life and the fruit of complete obedience to the Word is what we call the Word building you up and the result is that you enter into your inheritance in HaMashiach. But what is the cause why so many people miss the Word? Let us examine what the Lord Yahushua explained in Matthew 13:19, ‘When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.’ Some seeds fail by the wayside. The wayside is the heart that hears the Word but does not understand it. Let us understand that it is same Word that is being sown, the variance is the ground. So whose fault was it that this ground never understood the Word? It was the fault of the ground. These are the set of people that never heed the Word. They never pay attention to the Word. They never take a hold of it. In the first place, the wayside is not meant to be sown so existing on the wayside is planning ab initio to fail with the Word. They come before God as his people come, and sit before Him as his people sit; but it is merely for fashion-sake, to see and be seen; they mind not what is said. It comes in at one ear and goes out at the other, and makes no impression.
