“But He answered and said to them, ”My mother and My brothers are these who hear the Word of God and do it”.
Luke8:21
In this verse Jesus clearly mention that those who hear and do the Word of God are His mother and brothers. That is kinship is based on our listening to His Word and doing it.We should have a longing for truth and consider it more precious than anything else. We must align our thoughts,actions,words,emotions with His Words, teachings and principles. The Word contains the key to unlock all of life’s issues and problems. We should use it.All our problems are due to our ignorance of the key to open the treasures of the Kingdom of God.If we claim we are the children of God by faith in Christ, His Son. We are required to listen to the Word and obey it.
John13:17 says that,”If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.”
Many do not even listen, many listen but do not do, those who listen and do are the children of God.
We should not adopt ,what all ,the world teaches us.We must be wise to choose and confirm to the pattern of the Word of God .Apostle John reveals that Jesus is the word. Jesus came as a human on this earth following the principles of the Word of God. Jesus drove out all evil practices from the temple of Jerusalem .Similarly we have to drive out all personal demons from us, the temple of God. We have to spend time in prayer and fellowship with God. We have to be careful about every word we speak and every emotions we manifest in our daily lives. We have to give first priority in our lives to the matters of the Lord. We should forgive as Jesus forgives us and love our enemies. Like the prodigal son, we must return to the Lord, repent and ask for forgiveness and must not sin again .
Jesus has given us many keys, the Word, to unlock the life’s issues and problems. The Word encourage and heal us . If we are threatened by death and disease, use the key “Lord satisfy me with long life and after that give me eternal life”.psalms91:16
If we are going for a journey the key is in psalms 2:12,”kiss the Son before you leave lest you perish on the way “.
In period of sorrow we can use the key in Psalms116:8,”For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling”.
Lord will place a safety net to catch us while we fall. He will wipe away tears from our eyes.
If we want success in business or academics, we need to use the key in Psalms1:1-3,”Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of sinners………………..And whatever he does shall prosper”.
If we are facing sickness the key is, ”He forgives me all my sin and heals me of all my diseases “. Psalms 103:3
If in fear of pandemic, the key is Isaiah54:17,”No weapon formed against you shall prosper”.
If some guilt feelings haunted us , use the key Jeremiah 30:17,”I will heal all your wounds”.
When people hurt you ,be still and use the key ,” Vengeance is mine I will repay”. Romans12:19
Thus for each problem there is a key . Do not depend on our own understanding but use the wisdom of the Lord. Such a person built his house on foundations of the rock of obedience to His Word.
Prayer
Father God give us the grace to depend on your Word for all life’s problems. I ask
In the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen
