HOLD ON TO GOD’S TRUTH
(Shape Your Reality With God’s Word)
TO THE BIBLE
John 8:32 RSV
“…You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
LET’S TALK
Contrary to what many young people believe today, there’s no such thing as “your truth” or “my truth.” In order for truth to maintain its nature as truth, it can’t be subjective or tailored specifically to one person. So, what really is “truth”? Truth is reality; truth is the Word of God. In John 17:17, Jesus said in prayer to the Father, “…Your word is truth.” Truth is in what God says, and all of this is captured in His Word to you.
As a result of ignoring God’s Word—which is His truth—many have their lives in jeopardy and experience defeat, sadness, gloom, failure and sickness. This is really touching; it’s one of the reasons we teach young people God’s Word through this devotional so they’ll walk in truth and in the realities of the new life in Christ. The Bible says through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered (Proverbs 11:9); the knowledge of who you are in Christ and your inheritance in Him will transform the entire quality of your life.
The Bible says, “But you are a chosen generation…“ (1 Peter 2:9). The word “generation” is the same word for “breed.” As a Christian, you’re a special breed, superior to sickness, disease and everything of darkness and the devil. Also, you have an incorruptible life—a life of victory, success, excellence and great glory. It’s a life that can’t be infected by any plague or disease.
You can’t be poisoned or destroyed. Jesus said, “And these signs will follow those who believe… if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them…” (Mark 16:17-18). You’re a partaker of the divine nature. The life in you is divine and sustained by the Spirit of God who lives in you (Romans 8:11). So, what do you do with these truths about you? Consciously affirm and declare them to yourself every so often. Exercise yourself thoroughly in these truths and you’ll live with the consciousness of God’s Word about you!
GO DEEPER
Luke 10:19; Romans 8:11; Psalm 82:5-7
SPEAK
The same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in me; therefore, I’m vitalised by the power of God—spirit, soul and body. I exercise myself in these truths and walk on in health. As a result of the divine life in me, I live triumphantly above sickness, disease and infirmities, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
