TO THE BIBLE:
Hebrews 12:2 AMPC
“Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus….”
LET’S TALK
Daniel’s parents hadn’t paid off his tuition fees, and his school had sent copious letters to his parents, reminding them of the pending money for the new term. Looking at this, Daniel’s first and immediate response was to turn to the Word of God; he meditated on and declared God’s Word concerning the financial challenge. Sure enough, and in time, the school tuition was paid in full and for several terms afterward!
In John 3:14, the Lord Jesus said something symbolic. He said, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.” This had to do with the Jews in the wilderness, when they were bitten by fiery serpents that caused them burning pain and death. God then instructed Moses to make a serpent of brass, raise it on a pole, and everyone who looked at it would live. He didn’t say they should look at the serpent and pray; there were no ceremonies or rituals; all they had to do was look at the brazen serpent and live. And when they looked, they were healed. Hallelujah!
This was symbolic of Jesus at the Cross, taking your place of sorrow, pain, disappointment, sickness, and failure, saying that you should never suffer them. But beyond the Cross, we now have His life. We live because He lives. By reason of His resurrection, we’ve been brought into the newness of life (Romans 6:4). The life we have now is divine. Therefore, what you have to look at today isn’t the Cross but His Word! In His Word, you see what He’s done for you, who He’s made you, and your inheritance in Him.
Our opening verse says to look away to Jesus, but who is Jesus? He is the Word! It makes no difference what dire situations and circumstances you face; don’t gripe or whimper! Look to the Word! Look to the Word and see your glorious and glorified life! Look to the Word and see your success, victory, and prosperity. Look to the Word and see that you’re indomitable, full of the Holy Ghost and power. Hallelujah!
GO DEEPER
Acts 20:32
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
John 1:1-3, 14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
SPEAK
As I feed on the Word, success, favours, and grace are multiplied in my life. My life is an endless stream of blessings and the miraculous because I live in and by the Word. Amen.
