ACCEPT THE WORD
And we also thank God
continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from
us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of
God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.
1 Thessalonians 2:13 NIV
People in the church of
Thessalonians received the word of God Paul, Silas and Timothy with all
reverence and fear. They accepted their word as the very word of
God, which, of course, it was—and it changed your lives when you believed
it.
Their lives were changed when
they believed the word of God. Paul, Silas and Timothy they were humans just
like you and me. I believe they had their share of flaws and weaknesses just
like each one of us. But these Thessaloniki people received the word of
God with open heart and God worked in them.
Sometimes we tend to look the
faces of the people who preach the word of God. We sometimes reject the word of
God from men and women of God because they don't look like us. We may miss our
miracles because we want God us to send certain people in our lives and we
reject those who He has already given us.
This morning, I want to
encourage to accept the word not as human word, but as the word of God which
has power to change your life. It doesn't matter who is speaking that word,
whether he is in your standard or lower standard than you. Listen it and put it
into practices, then you will see the hand of God working mightily in your
life.
God will sometimes use people
who you don't even except. He will show Himself in the ways that you cannot
even imagine. If you receive the word of God with open heart, the word will
change the way of thinking and change your attitude in life. It will transform
your life style and give your life a meaning.
****Morning Prayer****
Pray this prayer with me by
faith and God is going to answer your prayer....
Dear Father, help to receive
your word with joy. I will receive your word from anyone who you will send in
my life and put it into practices. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
