TOPIC: CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WORD OF GOD

TEXT: PSALM 19:7-9  

FRIDAY DECEMBER 1ST

Key verse: 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.” 

The scripture above shows us the characteristics, qualities or attributes of the word of God which are as follows: I. The word of God is perfect – there is nothing to add or subtract from it. It is perfect. II. The word of God is sure – it is certain. There is no ambiguity or uncertainty about it. It is sure and dependable. III. The word of God is right – what God says is right. The commandment of God is right, always. IV. The word of God is pure – This implies that the commandment of God is pure, and very clean. There is no error and dirt in it. V. The word of God is clean – It is clean, just as you know what it means that something is clean. There is no dirt in it.VI. The word of God is true and righteous – true and righteous altogether.

The word of God is the revelation of God's mind and nature to mankind, designed as food for our souls by which we must live. Man shall feed upon every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Man shall live, be nourished and fed by every word of God. What is this word of God? It is perfect therefore man should feed upon perfection. And man should live on perfection according to the word of God. The word is sure. Man should live by the word that is sure, sincere, real, and certain. Man should live by that. Again, it is right. The word of God that is right is what man should feed upon. The word is pure so man shall live by the purity of the word. As you feed on purity so you should live in purity of the word. It is pure. The word is clean; man should feed on and live by the clean word. 

Again, the word is true and righteous altogether. Man needs this word that is true. This word that is righteous altogether should be the word that man should live by. If a man lives by the word, he shall be perfect because he lives by perfection. Again, he shall be sure, sincere and genuine. He shall be right in his ways. He shall be pure in his nature, in his heart, in his character and in his being. He shall also be clean in every way because the word that makes clean is what he eats and feeds upon. He shall be clean, right and righteous all the time. 

Thought for the day: Obedience to God’s word must be complete and wholesome. 

Song for the day: I am standing on the word of God, the word of God is power…

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 45-46; 2 Peter 3
