Manifesting the word

“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” James 1:18(KJV)

From our opening scripture today, I want you to understand that, there are some conditions you must meet for you to be able to bring the Word of God to pass in your life.

The first thing as stated in our opening scripture, is to lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness from your heart. In other words, the Word of God that has been sown into your heart would become ineffective, if you do not get rid of all moral uncleanness, bad habits and unbelief. As long as you still hold such things in your heart, they will choke the Word. See Matthew 13:22, Mark 4:19, Luke 8:14.

Therefore, if you are reading this devotional today and you have any form of moral uncleanness, bad habit or unbelief in your heart, I will encourage you to repent, and completely turn from such ways, because if you continue in them, you will not see the fullness of the Word of God manifested in your life.

It is when you have totally purged your heart, that you can now actually receive with meekness the engrafted

Word which is able to save your soul. The engrafted Word which the Bible is talking about here, refers to the Word that has been sown into your heart. That word according to the Bible is able to save, that is, heal, preserve and bring wholeness to your soul.

So, don't argue with the Word of God. Whatever the Word of God says, let your heart say a yes to it, with a corresponding compliance to the Word, because it is able to produce wholeness in your soul. In other words, whatever the Word says, will be completely manifested and perfected in you.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I come to you just as I am. I receive grace from your Spirit to live above every weakness. I choose to turn away from all that displeases you. Thank you Father for Your Word cleanses me, and sanctifies me in my spirit, soul and body in Jesus Name. Amen.
