RECEIVING THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD.
James 1:21;
_"Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls."_
Key Message: The more we received from the Lord, the more we become fruitful and empowered to dominate circumstances of life.
God's Word must be received in your heart before it can physically deliver in your hands. The condition of our heart is what validates the authenticity of our reception.
God's Word must be received with meekness of the heart before it can be productive. Meekness is one of the fruits of the spirit. It's a virtue that enhances revelation and positions man to be continually guided by the Holy Ghost. The scripture says _"The meek will He guide in judgment"_Psa. 25:11.
Jesus' parable in *Mat. 13:1-8* revealed distinctly different conditions of men's heart in relation to God's Word. According to the parable, the Sower which represents Christ is always out to sow the seed of the Word into man's heart, unfortunately some of the investment lack returns because the ground which represents the heart of man is infertile except the one fall on the good ground.
We're undoubtedly in the era of the Word and strong manifestation of the Spirit in the body of Christ but spiritual surgery must be performed in men's heart for the heavenly reality to be imported into the heart of men.
God's eternal solution is to turn every hardened heart to the heart of flesh. The Holy Ghost will work on our heart to turn the heart of the son to the father but we must learn to value, honour and tremble at God's Word.
If we truly receive God's word with meekness we can not take it for granted or allow it to slip away. Our entire life must depend on it for instruction and direction. Our heart must always be prepared in righteousness to receive from the Lord. Every weight and beset sin must be dealt with because a new wine must always be taking into new bottle.
I pray you will never take the word for granted henceforth.
