HOW TO ENCOUNTER THE WORD (2): MEDITATION
Meditate upon these things? give thyself wholly to them? that thy profiting may appear to all.
I Timothy 4:15 (KJV)
To meditate means to mutter; to speak to yourself in a low tone over a subject for over a period of time. Reading the Word is likened to eating food. The Word is spiritual food for the spirit-man. But what you eat doesn’t profit your body until it is digested and assimilated. Meditation is spiritual digestion and assimilation of the Word into your spirit-man. Joshua 1:8 says, ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.’ Reading the Word is putting it into your mouth but beloved, don’t stop there, go further to speak that Word to yourself. To meditate actually means to murmur. Murmuring is a negative word because it is dwelling on the things that are not working in your life. But the process of murmuring is the same with meditation, the only difference is on what you are dwelling on in the process. When you are dwelling on the Word, murmuring it to yourself, it is called scriptural meditation. Meditation is not a gift, it is the result of the overflow of the Word in your spirit-man. Most times, meditation is involuntary. Other times, you must be intentional on what you are meditating upon. But I want you to see that when you flood your mind intensely with the Word, meditation becomes involuntary. At all times, your mind is on the Word. This is the level and dimension I desire you come into.
Do you notice that Joshua 1:8 says that we should mediate on the Word day and night? The day is a 12 hour period and the night is a 12 hour period. What does that tell you? Meditation is a 24 hours’ job. That is why I said that you must come to that point of meditating on the Word involuntarily. You must come to that point that even when you are not actively dwelling on the Word, your mind is on it by the virtue of the overflow and flooding of the Word day in and out. That is the only way to comply with Joshua 1:8 and until you comply with that scripture you cannot get what it promised – for then you shall make your way prosperous and then you shall have good success. When we were growing up in the faith, we heard that for you to maintain spiritual health, you must be consuming at least three chapters of the scriptures daily. That looked big then. But can you imagine consuming about 20 to 30 chapters daily and some times up to 50? Beloved, that is exactly our reality now.
Can you imagine channelling the time you use on social media on reading the Word? Can you imagine cutting off unnecessary visitation to make more time to read the Word? Can you take skipping one or two meals just to concentrate on the Word? Beloved, wake up and take responsibility. There is no free lunch even in free town. Life is gabbage in, gabbage out. Selah!
REMEMBER: Meditation is murmuring the Word to yourself.
CONFESSION: There is something in the Word for me and I engage my mind to dig it out on daily basis as I meditate on the Word. The juice of the Word is pressed out for the nourishment of my spirit-man. I am grateful Lord!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree a fresh delight for the Word upon you today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
