FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Turn to the word of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among reasons to turn to the word of God\nare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE WORD OF GOD IS YOUR DELIVERANCE<\/strong>
Genesis 19:17<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0records the word of deliverance for Lot and wife,\u00a0\u201c\u2026Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
Lot was committed to the word of God, but his wife could not commit herself to the word of God. The Bible records,\u00a0\u201cBut his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.\u201d (Genesis 19:26)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
Are you looking away from the word of God to deliver you?
Commit yourself to the word of God or do more to become committed to God and be connected with His deliverance.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW GOD<\/strong>
The limitation of your relationship with God is the evidence of your limited time you study the word of God.\u00a0Romans 15:4\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>informs all,\u00a0\u201cFor whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Why not give yourself to studying the word of God, to know Him instead of knowing about Him? Deny the world to give more of yourself to the word of God.\u00a0John 8:32<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0admonishes all,\u00a0“…YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>It is your responsibility to know God, not your Pastor.
LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD<\/strong>
Listen to the word of God, with submission, to be steered and be led by the living word of God. Turning to the word of God is listening to be delivered from shame to joyful celebration.\u00a0
At the wedding at Cana of Galilee, when the celebration ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus advised the servants of Jesus saying,\u00a0\u201c\u2026whatever He says to you, do it.\u201d (John 2:5)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0In every way of life, turn to the word of God by listening to Him and your testimony shall not experience shame. Turn to God!
ASK FROM GOD TO TURN AWAY YOUR EYES TO HIM<\/strong>
Running after a man that answers as a great man of God is not evidence that one KNOW GOD or have TURNED to GOD. Get to KNOW GOD by TURNING to Jesus!
Paul points out that Jesus is for all to turn away from iniquities to Him.\u00a0Acts 3:26 records, “To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Today, pray the prayer of Psalmist for yourself as prayed in\u00a0Psalm 119:37,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u201cTurn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
Turn to the word of God, give yourself to Him in word to live life by His word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God that His word be established in your\nlife.<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
