The Word of God has a ministry in our lives, and this
is something that needs to be emphasized in the
body of Christ. The Christian ought to be voracious for the
Word. You have to always open your heart and mind to the
Word to build, strengthen, and establish you permanently to
enjoy all that God has made available to you in Christ. We
read the Apostle Paul’s admonition to the young man
Timothy, saying, “Meditate upon these things; give thyself
wholly to them….” What things was he referring to?
In the preceding chapters, Paul had shared specific
and vital truths from God’s Word with Timothy; it was those
revelations he urged him to meditate upon. If the Spirit
thought it fit to give Timothy such vital counsel through the
Apostle Paul, then it’s equally befitting to us today. We’re
to constantly meditate on the revelation of God’s Word that
we’ve received.
Notice also that he said to him, “…give thyself wholly
to them….” That means let the Word have power over your
life. Let it dominate your thinking, influence your words, and
actions. This is something you do consciously; a deliberate
response, initiated from your spirit to the Word of God. The
result of this is that your “profiting” will appear to all. The
Greek word translated “profiting” is “prokope,” which means
furtherance, progress, or advancement. This means your
progress becomes apparent when you let the Word have the
dominion in your life.
Let The Word Have Power Over
Your Life
Furthermore, the phrase, “may appear,” also in our
opening verse, means more than something coming casually
into sight; the Greek term is “Phaneros,” which means, “to
spread abroad.” Your success and prosperity will “spread
abroad,” become widely and openly known, as you meditate
on the Word of God. What a blessing!
PRAYER
Dear Father, My progress and
advancement are evident and
unstoppable. I’m prospering in all
that I do, because I live in, and
by the Word, inspired always by
the Holy Spirit to produce
excellence. Thank you for your
wisdom that propels me to act
on your Word always, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
