Message: Cultured by the word of God
By: Pastor Legohla S Hlakudi
God’s biggest gift to mankind is His is word. The word has all that we need for to produce according to His will. To be cluttered means to live in a particular way as by tradition or repetition. Our way of life must follow a particular pattern prescribed by Gods word.
Isaiah 55:8-12
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. "For as the rain comes down , and the snow from heaven , And do not return there , But water the earth , And make it bring forth and bud , That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater , So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void , But it shall accomplish what I please , And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
"For you shall go out with joy , And be led out with peace The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you , And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
We should allow Gods word to water and nourish us, so that we produce according to His own pleasure. He is our creator, and created us for particular purpose.
There are three men that were created by God himself. The first Adam, Jesus and the last Adam being a born again. The rest, we are our father and mother’s desires and creation.
2 Corinthians 5:16-So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now!
2 Corinthians 5:17
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
From the above passage key words are a new person in Christ. A new type of person that never existed before. This man in Christ born of Gods word is empowered to live a supernatural life. That is life above and beyond the nature. This man can suspend the laws of nature when there is a need in-order to meet the needs of humanity. The bible says a new creature, a new species that never existed before. In this man is the amalgamation of humanity with deity, immortality with mortality , spiritual with the flesh, Moses will say heaven on earth. This man is the last Adam, created by God himself.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
We are born again by an incorruptible word of God that live and abide forever, by a father who lives forever. Key word is that we are Gods masterpiece, His handy work. That is Gods best effort was when created the man in Christ. Then it says so that we can do the goods things he planned for us long ago. So we are not born again for the sake of it but to do the will of God. While we may miss it many times, we must however put our best efforts to do His will. One thing is certain, the will of God cannot be done outside of the supernatural, outside His word and His spirit, no. To do the will, we must cultured by the word. Our manner of life must be fashioned, moulded , transformed by the word of God. Our mannerisms, our speech , our relationships must be cultured by the word. That is the word must transform us completely to a new kind of a person seasoned and nourished by the word. This transformation, metamorphosis must be noticeable through our daily conduct, oh yes, being more attuned and sensitive in the spirit. Then it will be
Romans 8:14
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. When the word is abundant in your life, the kind of suggestions you get from your spirit are ordered by the Lord. You begin to experience miracles after miracles. Favour everywhere and anywhere. Because God has traveled from the beginning to the end of time and has everything then put His counsel to us in His word that we avoid pitfalls and go the right ways. So without the word you are your own God. You live on counsel of man than of God.
1 Peter 2:2
Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment,
1 Peter 2:2
Apostle Peter says there is an experience of salvation that comes by the word. That is without the word while you are saved but will not experience the fullness of salvation. You will suffer many things like the rest of mankind as though you not are saved. But the word will open the riches of salvation, the supernatural life, the eternal life, the zoe life that God has called us into. IT says cry out for this nourishment that you may experience full salvation.
To be rooted and cultured in the word means consistent hunger for the word.
Isaiah 28:10
He tells us everything over and over— one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!”
The process of transformation will be slow but steady progress. Line by line, precept upon precept. It will take someone who is humble and obedient to sit down and be taught the word. It must be from an appreciation that i need the word to fulfil the plan of God for my life.
Today, i have hunger for the word. I shall experience the fullness of His word in my life. Just as the rain come down and not return void so shall the word of God be in my life. I shall experience grace in its abundance as the word is taking over my life. Im yielding to the word to work out the good pleasure of God in my life In Jesus mighty name.
