There is a friend of mine whom anytime you decide to agree on anything, he always tells you to put it in writing. Whenever you have a complaint and you go the police they will always take a written statement from you to be used against the one you are accusing in the court of law. Although verbal contracts are enforceable in law there must be credible witnesses to back them up, but written contracts will probably not require much. This is the power of a written word, you get to effectively bind yourself with the words that you have written more than the words you had said since the said words can be denied, but you cannot deny written words.
To show Gods seriousness whatever he did or wanted to do he always put it down through a host Prophets and Servants. Everything is put under one book, The Bible. This is Gods word and power comes from hearing and hearing this great word of God. Do you want to know God, then you do not have an option but to read and understand his word, this is the only way out. God wrote this Bible through inspiration to his great Servants who wrote on wide range of life topics that God intended his children to follow and exercise so that they can inherit his kingdom. The word of God is life itself and spirit in itself; we tap into Gods power by reading his word. John 6:63 “It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” The word of God is God himself John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” God gave himself to us through his word. God uses his word to save humankind from all afflictions of life Psalms 107:20 “he sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from destruction.”
What is in the word of God?
The word of God is the carrier of His power, it carries Gods wisdom, 2 Timothy 3:15 “and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”
The power of sent word
God spoke to his people by sending his word through Prophets, Luke 10:1 “After this the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself intended to go.” So until you receive the sent servant you cannot receive the sent word. He also sent his only Son Jesus Christ, so God ministers to us by sending his word, we saw that the word of God is full of spirit which is the carrier of God’s power, and whenever we receive the word of God we receive his power. Access to Gods word is our greatest assets in our daily journey. Even today God still has his servants into our modern day church, your Pastor or any Servant in your Church who preaches to you this word is sent by God to deliver his word, you receive God’s blessings by receiving and hearing his servants. Mathew 10:41 “Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous;”
Nature of Gods word
God word caries internal life and healing, John 6:67-68 “So Jesus asked the twelve, ‘Do you also wish to go away?’ Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life.” Proverbs 4:20-22 “My child, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh.”
