GOD'S WORD – A ‘FAITH GROWER’

SCRIPTURE: All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. – John 1:2-5

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Anywhere the revelation of the Word of God is available, faith is alive.

Every seed requires the right environment (the right soil, light, moisture and temperature) for growth. For instance, the seed (foetus) in the womb of a woman requires the right environment for growth. Just as every seed requires the right environment for growth, faith also requires the right environment to grow because faith is a seed (Matthew 17:20).

Now, what is the required environment for the growth of faith?

LIGHT!

Every seed needs light for growth. There is a reason why plants are green: Plants utilize the sunlight in a process called photosynthesis where chlorophyll is combined with light to give rise to carbohydrate and all that they synthesize. It is not possible for the grass to be green, fresh and alive without utilizing the sunlight.

Now, the light of faith is the revelation of God’s Word.  That means anywhere the revelation of the Word of God is available, faith is alive. If your faith must grow, it must receive constant ‘revelational’ light. Just like the plant cannot do without the sunlight, your faith cannot do without constant revelation of the Word of God because the Word is light (John 1:1-5 and Psalms 84:11).

God will give you light from His Word as you study your Bible from today, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: Anywhere the revelation of the Word of God is available, faith is alive.

ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Identify areas of your life where you need light
2. Search for the light.
3. Absorb the light of God’s Word by praying in the Spirit and believing in it for the dispelling of darkness.

PRAYER: Lord, open my eyes; show me the light that will transform my life. Help me Lord, to behold wondrous things out of Your Word, in Jesus ‘Name.
