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 (9): BY GIVING YOU PEACE

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Psalms 119:165 (KJV)

There are few things that are as valuable in life as peace. Peace is a stress-free state of security and calmness that comes when there’s no fighting or war, everything coexisting in perfect harmony and freedom. Peace is a state where there is no war or fighting within or without you. It is coming to a place of perfect rest and tranquillity in your spirit-man. So many people are at war within. They have the good things of life and live in good places and environment yet there is war within, no peace. The worst case of existence is lack of peace existence. That is the reason for suicide. The worst part of it is that there is nothing physical that can give or guarantee you peace within. Peace within comes first from surrendering your heart to the Lord Yahushua, reconciling with the Father through the Lord Yahushua. Then that state of peace is established by taking your seat in the Word. When you are in the Word, no devil can offend you, nothing can upset your heart. The world may be in turmoil; your environment may be on fire but within there is absolute peace and tranquillity. Peace is a state of living without a guilty conscience. Peace is a state of living without your heart skipping at the thoughts of things.

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (8): BY IMPARTING AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT

Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Daniel 6:3 (KJV)

Excellence is a talent or quality which is unusually good and so surpasses ordinary standards. Excellence is above par performance or outcome. It is a performance that wows everyone and evokes feelings of awe and admiration. The Word builds us up by imparting excellence into our spirit-man. As you interact with the Word on daily basis, there is a metamorphosis going on in your spirit-man. Our Father is an excellent God and all He does is excellent. There is no single mistake or error in Yahweh. Relating with Him in His Word turns you into that image of excellence. That was the story of Daniel. He was an addict of the Word (see Daniel 9:2). The Word was his meditation even in a strange land. What did the Word make of him? Daniel became a man that exuded excellence like no man’s business. Daniel was in power in the reign of four kings in Babylon. At a time, the king preferred Daniel above all other presidents and princes. That is not to say that this Daniel was a captive and a stranger in the land. He was not the son of the soil as we would say in this part of the world. But excellence has a way of breaking protocols. There is no racial discrimination where excellence is at work. Whenever excellence shows up favouritism dies.

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 (5): BY IMPARTING HATRED FOR SIN

THE WORD BUILDS YOU UP (5): BY IMPARTING HATRED FOR SIN

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity? therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Hebrews 1:9 (KJV)

By the time we are done with this series, you will come to appreciate why it is practically impossible to live a successful Christian life outside the Word. Sin is one thing that separates humanity from Yahweh. Sin is not an old concept. Whatever the world has become today in terms of evil is a function of the introduction of sin by man. People ask “if there is Yahweh, why is there so much evil in the world?” Sin is the answer. Wherever sin is present, no good thing will ever be present there. Whenever you see sin, there must of necessity be the absence of Yahweh. This is a very serious matter. Yahweh loves humanity but hates sin. Yahweh does not condone sin. Sin is the straw that breaks the camel’s back with Yahweh. No matter how close you are to Him, once you start meddling with sin, your time has expired with Him. You have overstayed your welcome, we would say humanly speaking. You are quickly like a leper escorted out of the court like what happened to king Uzziah of Judah in II Chronicles 26:16-23. Beloved, you must understand today that sin is not your friend on all counts. The Lord hates sin. When you stay in the Word in reading, studying and meditation, there is an impartation of the same order of hatred for sin that the Lord has.

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

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

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.
