THE WORD OF GOD 
TEXT: PSALM 119: 8-12
Key verse: Psalm 119:4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

Your attitude while reading or hearing God's word depends on whether or not you accept it as the infallible verdict of the unchanging God, full and final in all its declarations. God's honour, integrity, might and ability stand behind His word, “For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” God's word is supreme to all the opinions and ideologies of men. Of it alone it can be said, “Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in the the the keeping of them there is great reward”. Psalms 19:12. “Every word of God is pure” Proverbs 30:5.

A metaphor taken from the purifying of metals is employed here. It means that everything that God has pronounced is pure, without dross. God's word is free from any mixture of error, from all falsehood. The whole scripture is both pure and purifying. We have not read the scriptures correctly if the exercise has not had a definite purifying purpose, which is that the sons of men might, through reading and applying its messages to their lives, become the sons of God. 

Coming from the God of truth, who cannot lie, it is called “the Scriptures of truth”. Whatever tests the Bible may be subjected to, it is always like gold: it bears the fire and comes out with the same purity, beauty and weight. Every promise is true, every doctrine is pure; every commandment is right, and every prophecy is sure. Every one of them is free from mixtures and inventions of men. The scripture must confirm every revelation message before it is accepted.
Since the Bible finds its origin in the mind of God, it cannot be anything but perfect. Any addition or subtraction contaminates its declared purity and opens the way to errors and corruption. The scriptures retain their life-changing face and mighty power only when preached and believed in its pure, unadulterated form. As gold loses some value when mixed with dross, so the word of God becomes powerless to save anyone if mixed with private interpretations of men.

Thought for the day: The whole scripture is both pure and purifying  
Song for the day: Something more than gold, Something more than silver….
Bible reading for the day:  Jeremiah 38-39; Hebrews 1

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
