GOD’S WORD IS GOD
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1).
God’s Word is not merely what God says; it is God Himself. The Word of God is God in expression. When you hear God’s Word, you’re hearing God. When you receive His Word, you’re receiving Him. He’s in His Word, just as His Word is in Him.
This is a truth many don’t fully grasp. They think God’s Word is separate from Him, like someone saying something and then walking away from it. But that’s not how it is with God. His Word carries His person. It expresses not just His thoughts but also His power, His presence, His glory, and His life.
How do we know someone’s personality? It’s through their words. Words reveal who a person is. In the same way, God reveals Himself in His Word. His Word transmits divinity. The life of God is in His Word. That’s why when you receive the Word into your heart, you’re not just getting mere information or instruction; you’re receiving God Himself. You’re fellowshipping with the very essence of life.
His Word creates, heals, transforms and delivers. No wonder the Lord Jesus is called the Word made flesh (John 1:14). He said, “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). He is the living Word. “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3).
Did you observe that the Word is referred to as “Him” and not “it”? That’s because He’s a person. Any time you hear and receive the Word of God into you, you’re receiving more than doctrine or teaching; you’re receiving God. Therefore, honour His Word, because to honour His Word is to honour Him.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your life, power and glory that’s in your Word; the same power, presence and glory that I experience because your Word is in me, producing what it talks about. I live by your Word and experience continual transformation, progress and victory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
