THE WORD MADE FLESH

Words they say leaves more indelible scares on one than the whip does. Why will ordinary invisible words leave indelible scares, if not that it has an impact? As I read a compilation of messages by an old time faith-full man of blessed memories, I had this subject impressed on my mind. And I couldn’t help writing a few lines which will bring about a tremendous revival in your life.

Every man needs a revival at intervals so as not to be out dated on kingdom issues because scriptures say that we still do not know what we will look like but if we continues in His path we will look like Him when He appears, 1John 3v2. This is to say that it is impossible for any man to have the whole picture of God in a life time. If we follow in His stead, we are certain we will be like Him when He appears.

A scientific laboratory is a place where words (Theory) are translated into pictures (Practical) for a better understanding. In other words a message cannot be successfully delivered if the picture it prints isn’t clear. However the film and entertainment industry uses this technique to fulfill their obligation.

In the same vein, scriptures are scripts implying pictures. God is the best Producer, Writer, Director, Artist etc as we might have them in the entertainment industry. I am not surprised that the devil has taken over the media, doing his best to impress pictures on the minds of people which life in turn prints out for them.

In John 1v14, we read;

“And the Word was made flesh...”

These are interesting words that need to be taken to heart. Don’t allow them slip away. They are your life in summary. Words are invisible but are processed into substances as soon as the message is being understood by the receiver. When you tell someone something, that person doesn’t see the words you use in expressing yourself but generates’ pictures from what is being said.

This is where meditating come in. The place of meditation in laying a hold on our inheritance in Christ Jesus cannot be overemphasized because Joshua 1v8 says that it is the only medium through which good success could be achieved.

Jesus used parables in driving home most of the points He made. However they are parables to those who are not able to generate pictures from them through quality meditation with the help of the Holy Spirit. But to them who take their time to ask questions like His disciples did, it is light, bread, life etc, Luke 8v10.

The word of God is a raw material that wouldn’t deliver your expectations until it has being properly processed into faith. From our opening scripture we read that God’s word was processed into flesh (Faith) through a process called meditation. This gives the word or faith a form or shape. It now possesses all the qualities of a substance. Hence Hebrew 11v1 defines faith thus;

“Now faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, EVIDENCE of things not seen”

From the scripture above we see two qualities of a substance and they are;

-it is handy

-it is visible

This is where so many fail and fall in the journey of faith. They ask “how can my faith become a substance?” it is simple! In Mark 2v1-12 a paralytic man was smuggled into a house where Jesus was ministering for him to have a touch. But in the fifth verse, scripture says Jesus saw their faith. Did they come with anything other than the sick man? No! But the way they came in showed that they believed Jesus could heal the man.

We can therefore conclude that faith is action taken in response to God’s word or testimonies. The man was brought in through the roof because all doors/windows were blocked. Some would make that their excuse for turning back. God says He has no pleasure or interest in anyone who turns back, Hebrew 10v38. You’ve got to press on. Your healing is in the press. The woman with the issue of blood had spent all she had but her predicament only grew worse. Now that she had no money left, she could have easily given up faith but she went in the press haven heard testimonies of what Jesus can do without paying a penny.

I might just have dabbed into your situation. In other words everything I have been inspired to write to you precisely. Relax, your case is settled! Only believe. God has not asked you for too much, just believe. You have heard Him do so many things. Believe those things you have heard Him do, read more about Him in the bible. Spend quality time meditating on Him ability to do the impossible and anything.

Permit me to say that you are nowhere close to your expectations until the word of God or His testimonies have been processed into faith gearing you to speak positively into your situation like the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15v22-28.

Conclusively, God’s word is directly consumed by Angels but it must be converted to faith before we can spend it as a legal tender on earth. Finally just like we can’t spend Dollars in Nigeria unless it is being changed in the same vein, have His word made flesh in you and your expectations will be delivered expressly, John 15v7.
