TOPIC: CHARACTER REFORMATION BY THE WORD.
SCRIPTURE: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. MATHEW 5:16.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You cannot be in touch with the ways of God and be a wayward person.
Our anchor scripture makes it clear that a child of God is the standard bearer and road pointer of his generation. As children of God, we are designed to be pacesetters, not pace-keepers. We are not expected to struggle to keep pace with the world; we are to set the trend. We were designed to show the world how to do things correctly. Christians are meant to colonize the world.
However, if the instruments that set the standard are faulty, what happens to the standard of that generation? It degenerates. Our world is degenerating because of the shortage of right standard bearers.
Now, what do we do to maintain an upright character to set the pace and standards for our generation?
Today, we shall be looking at one of the fuels of character which is The Word of God.
The entrance of the Word is the doorway to illumination (Psalms 119:130). When the word enters, light comes. And when the light comes, darkness checks out. The darkness of negative character can be arrested by the light of the Word. So, until the Word enters, life remains dark and left miserably in the dark corners of this world. The dark behaviours of occultism, criminality, immorality, corruption, addictions, etc. can only thrive when the Word has not entered the Spirit of man. So, the Word of God is a major tool for character reformation. (Ephesians 5:26).
Now, how does the word of God mold our character?
a. The Word of God reveals Divine precepts and principles. The Word of God is the container of the ways of God (Isaiah 55:7-9). And you cannot be in touch with the ways of God and be a wayward person. If you are in touch with the Word of God, you are in touch with the proper way to behave or do things. That was why D. L Moody said, ‘The Bible will keep you from sin, and sin will keep you from the Bible’.
b. The Word of God transmits the Nature of God who is the Speaker. The character of the speaker is transmitted via the voice of the speaker (John 6:63). Ezekiel 2:2 says, And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me… The Spirit of God is the same as the Nature of God or the Person of God. So, as you hear the Word of God, the Nature of God, which includes His Character, integrity, holiness, purity, etc. is transferred into you. And the more you receive that word, the closer and closer you become like God, the Speaker.
Remember this: You cannot be in touch with the ways of God and be a wayward person.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Let at least a verse of the scripture enter your spirit daily.
2. Make up your mind to be a light bearer to your generation.
PRAYER: Lord, open my heart to Your Word and cause it to bring transformation to my life. Help me to consistently remain a light bearer in my generation, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
