Psalm 138:4 David declared, “For thou hast magnified Thy word above all thy name.”
I have read this many times and wondered, “How can it be?” After prayer and study I saw something many miss. To Jesus’ name people, the revelation that anything could compare to or excel above the name of our God is astounding.
* II Samuel 7:26 Let thy name be magnified
* Proverbs 18:10 The name of The Lord is a strong tower
* Acts 4:12 There is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.
* Philippians 2:9-11 A name above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess.
* Colossians 3:17 What so ever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the LORD Jesus.
I saw that in the beginning was the Word John 1:1. Before the Heavens and earth, before the sun, moon, stars…when all there was in existence was darkness and void, the Word of God was.
The Word of God is the foundation and the hinge of everything God has done, is going will do. The worlds were framed by the Word of God Hebrews 11:2…God said let there be light – there was light. God said let there be firmament – waters divided. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.
It is said you can’t be saved without a preacher. Ok, that’s Bible, but neither can you be saved without the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. The angel in Revelation told John to eat the Book. Your faith is built by the Word of God. If you want to activate the power of God in your life read, study, devour, memorize the Word. The Word produces faith that merely praying and fasting won’t produce. Faith needs a foundation – know and claim every promise.
You need strength to fight the devil, Jesus overcame him with the Word…it is written and so can you because the Word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. All successful doctors, lawyers, mechanics, engineers, preachers and Christians have something in common – continued study.
