FAITH IN THE WRITTEN WORD.
Unlike the men of the third estate of the realm of government [lawyers],who brandish the country's constitution as the basis of arguement and contentions before the judge in a court of law,most believers walk through the valley of this life,without actually finding out what has been written in the holy book, [the bible] concerning them.,for this reason though the warfare are not carnal but spiritual,through pulling down of strongholds and every other thing that exalts it's name above the name of the Lord ,they tend to move in unprepared.
God's word has been written to enable the believer accomplish God's woderful purposes for his or her life. The written word in the bible which is to the believer what the written word in the constitution is to the smart lawyer,defines our security...[Numbers 23:23 ,Isaiah 54:14-17]
It ensures our connection with God [John 14;1-3 ] and guarantees our prosperity.[Psalm 84;11,3John 2.When God sends His word, it must accomplish the intended purpose [Isaiah55;10-11]
"And there was delivered unto Him, the book of the prophet Esaias and when He had opened the book,He found the place where it is written.."......Luke 4.17. Though God -incarnate, christ was still interested in knowing what was wriiten about Him in the holy book. He made it a point of duty , to know what was written about Him so that , they would be fulfilled...Luke 4;17-21,Isaiah 61;1-2,]
The word of God is for the believers and non believers in the world,those that know it, do expliots with it, they personlize and use it for spiritual gains,because it is only when we know it that we can be set free,the truth does not authomatically set free as many read off head, but the truth you know.The truth we don't know does not have the power to set us free.
When we allow God's word to dwell richly in our lives,we would in effect give way for the holy spirit of God to personalize it to our profit. Knowing what is written concering our very existence on earth implies a regular and rich intake of the word of God,searching the scriptures daily for it is equally written that, "man must not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord"[ Luke 4:4 ]. The roundly desired victory and success in life come only as we read,study and meditate in God's infallible words [Joshua 1;8]
Cultivating faith in the written word,leads to the desire to search for the written word, and when this is done, our faith will now activate the benefits
