DCLM Sincere Milk 27 December 2022 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — The word of God
TOPIC: THE WORD OF GOD
TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 3:14-17
15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Key Verse: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).
MESSAGE:
The word of God, also known as the Holy Bible, is the only known source of knowledge of the Almighty God to mankind. The primary purpose of the Holy Bible is to give us the revelation of God. The Bible was written by men of God who were inspired by God Himself. The word of God has been given to reprove, correct and to instruct us. It is written to guide and direct us.
While other books have limited influence on man, the word of God has a powerful impact and is the final solution to man’s problems. The world’s educational system will only give man limited knowledge, but the word of God in the heart of man makes him wise and successful in life.

As God’s children, we need to have a good relationship with God by reading His word daily and praying to Him always. Without the word of God, we will not grow spiritually and one will keep falling and rising. This is why we need to feed on the word of God every day.
With the word of God, we’ll have victory over sin, over Satan and over every evil thought and imagination. Study God’s word every day and night, and victory will be yours in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer: O God, teach me Your word and let me not wander away from Your commandment.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
