GOD’s word is quick and power and sharper than any
two-edged sword. Hebrews 4 vs. 12: For
the word of GOD is alive and active. Sharper than any double- edged sword, it
penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the
thoughts and attitudes of the heart. GOD’s words are pure words; as silver
tried in a furnace. Psalm 12 vs. 6: The
words of the LORD are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace of earth,
purified seven times. Work means something on which effort is expended.
Effort is an endeavor. It is inputting an action. GOD’s word shouldn’t just be
read, but must be acted on. It is essential we act and do what we profess in
GOD’s word. Many read the word, but don’t act according to the word. GOD told
Joshua in Joshua 1 vs. 7 (NIV): Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to
obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or
the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. GOD’s words are his
law and act; He expects us to do all that is written therein. We shouldn’t bend
GOD’s word to our taste. We shouldn’t turn from it to the left or right. GOD’s
word should be our compass which gives us direction and bearing. Whatever is
not found in GOD’s word is contrary to GOD’s will and way. David wrote in Psalm 119 vs. 105 -106: Your word is a lamp
to my feet, and a light to my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I
keep your righteous judgments. We are to perform GOD’s word and keep it
just as David wrote. GOD‘s word should be our lamp and this will keep us from
stumbling.
RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
