MORE SCRIPTURES MEANS MORE POWER
(Mark 12:24 KJV)
“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?”
Two things happen when you are not properly rooted in the word of God.
i. The first is that you will be exposed to so much error in your life. Your life will become so full of assumptions and presumptions, you may often just find yourself on the wrong side of things all the time. Errors are unintentional mistakes, errors are wrong beliefs, and error is a state of being mistaken.
You cannot be deceived when you are full of the word of God. In the kingdom, errors are no excuses at all, if you break or disobey the word, you will see wrong results in life.
ii. The second thing that happens when you lack the knowledge of scriptures according to our text is that you will be powerless. All the power we want and need is found and deposited in the scriptures. When you are knowledgeable in the scriptures, satan will avoid you, because nothing mesmerizes the devil like solid foundation in scriptures. A word loaded believer will decide and counter all of the enemy’s tricks and lies all the time. Besides, the knowledge of the word gives you boldness, power and authority over devils and situations of life. You will know your rights in God, and the knowledge of your rights will result in more boldness, authority and power.
The more scriptures you know the more truth you encounter. And the more truth you know, the more freedom you encounter. At the end, you are as powerful and as free as your knowledge of the word.
Action Points
i. Make a commitment to read and study the scriptures everyday.
ii. Endeavour to have an unbroken study pattern of scriptures from today.
iii. Always ask the Lord to open your eyes each time you study the word.
Prayer
-Lord open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of your word in Jesus Name.
-Father please fill my spirit with an insatiable hunger for your word in Jesus Name.
Nugget
When you are knowledgeable in the scriptures, satan will avoid you, because nothing mesmerizes the devil like solid foundation in scriptures.
