Thursday Daily Devotional By Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Diet 6th October 2016) – The Ability Of The Word

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the Word, which is
able to build you up, and to give an inheritance among all them which
are sanctified” Acts 20:32

Over time, I have come to discover Four
different kinds of Christians.

The first kind are those who go to church
perhaps every service but never study the Word of God. They couldn’t care
any less about the things of the Lord outside the four walls of the
church. These ones often become religious and stuck in their ways about
the things of God.

What they believe about God is what they have always
believed about Him and nothing anybody says will convince them
otherwise. To these ones, Christianity is a religion.

The second
category consists of those who spend time studying the Word of God so
they can dispend to others. These ones can quote so many scriptures and
are always they first to talk about the Word. Not because they are eager
to see the Word produce results, but because they want others to know
that they know the Word of God.

And yet the third category consists of
those who know the Word of God but never want anyone to know that they
know the Word of God. These are the secret-agent Christians. But, there
is a fourth category that studies the Word of God for them.

They follow the Word circumspectly to do The Word.

As we listen to the Word of the Lord and walk with the lord, we ought
to be able to ask ourselves genuinely, if the Word of God we have heard
and have been exposed to, has been put to work in our lives.

The more we
listen to the Word of God, the more we should ask ourselves how much it
has profited us.

Learn to analyze your progress in the ways of the Lord.

DECLARATION
I follow the Word circumspectly. The Word of God is profitable to me. I am blessed because I am a diligent follower of the Word.
