Today's thought - 12 July 2026 (The Answer)

 

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). I love what our Pastor said today. The person that speaks the most to us is ourselves and this scripture says that faith comes by hearing and most importantly, the Word of God. The only way we can transform completely is by studying the Word and applying the Word and speaking the Word.

I have written so many times to you there is power in our Words. So, imagine if there is power in your words and the Words that you speak is the Word of God. Now very important to remember is that which you speak will manifest in your life. When we look into the Word it is almost like looking into a mirror. When the Word of God finds good soil in your life and it starts to produce, you will see more and more of the Word in your life and in the life of people around you.

Our Pastor said that a proverb a day will keep the devil away and there is thirty-one of them. This is so cool and a very good starting point if you are uncertain where to jump in when you start reading the Bible.

By reading the Word we will receive more wisdom and understanding. That is why the Bible says that you cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that God speaks (The Bible).

Look at this in Proverbs 4:5-10 (small changes and you will see the Word come to life):

Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.  Do not forsake (her) the Word, and (she) the Word will preserve you; Love (her) the Word, and (she) the Word will keep you.  Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.  Exalt (her) the Word, and (she) the Word will promote you; (She) The Word will bring you honour, when you embrace (her) the Word.   (She) The Word will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory (she) the Word will deliver to you.”  Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many.

Now important without love we will not see change in our lives. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing (1 Corinthians 13:2). 

Love is first knowing God by studying His Word and seeking Him. Then that love ignites in you a love for other. A love that pours out, a love that sees beyond the problem and beyond the pain at the source of love. It is love that understands, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed (Isiah 53:5)”. Therefore, as James said my faith will be seen through my works, I too seek to let my faith be visible by my works and even if those works do not make sense to other, it makes sense to God, because it is from God. Love overcomes all.

My dear friend, I pray that you will see the love of God in your life and the Word will be opened to you by the Holy Spirit and that all that you face and struggle with will seem insignificant as God’s love overflows in you.

Love for each other is the answer to all the problems of this world. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Have an awesome day.
