TRAIN YOURSELF IN THE WORD
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).
Thereโs a call for growth in your walk with God, a call to become stronger, more established and unshakable in the Word, and bold in the demonstration of your faith. That growth doesnโt happen by chance; it comes through deliberate training in the Word.
2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV) says, โAll Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.โ Give yourself to the Word consistently until it shapes your thinking and conditions your responses: โAnd be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mindโฆโ (Romans 12:2).
The only material given to us by God to build our lives and renew our minds is the Word of God. The Lord Jesus further illustrated this in Luke 6:47-48: โWhosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.โ
When you give yourself to the Word, you live above circumstances. Youโre never moved or flustered by challenges. No matter what happens, you donโt respond in fear but with the Word. You speak to the situation and change it. You exercise dominion. This is why you must fill your heart with the Word, for out of that abundance your mouth will speak.
When the Word saturates your spirit, faith becomes your automatic response. It reminds of one of William Branhamโs testimonies. A young manโs body, terribly mangled in a devastating accident, was brought to him. Without panic, he gathered the broken body, commanded it to return to normal, and it did. This is the life youโve been called to live.
Train yourself in the Word and fear will have no place in you: โFor God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mindโ (2 Timothy 1:7). Colossians 3:16 declares, โLet the word of Christ dwell in you richlyโฆ.โ With the Word in you, youโll always act with confidence, dominating circumstances.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word that builds me and trains me for a life of dominion. Your Word saturates my spirit, producing faith, boldness and victory always. Your Word is fruitful and effectual in me, prevailing over circumstances as I speak it forth, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.
