10 VITAL REVELATIONS CONCERNING THE WORD OF GOD FOR LIVING IN A TROUBLED WORLD
******************************************************************************************************
1.FOUNDATION
************
The word of God is the foundation in the life of a believer . Jesus said whoever hears His words and does according to it , is like a wise man who built his house upon the rock. That house could withstand all the storms and winds that came against it. The believer whose life is founded upon the word of God can withstand the storms of life. We should not build our lives on worldly counsel and ungodly principles . Our lives would be destroyed in times of attacks and trials. The safe and secure foundation is the word of God.The word of God gives stability to our lives. When we build our lives on the word of God we can face any storm and still remain strong and stable.The word of God is useful for teaching us the truth and the right doctrine that we must beleive in order that we are not deceived by false teachings and be led astray. We are prepared for service and fruitfulness by the word of God.

Matthew 7:24-25
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock."
2. FOOD
********
The word of God is food for our soul. We receive spiritual nourishment for our soul through the word of God. Therefore we must partake in this spiritual food regularly to live a strong spiritual life. If we neglect to receive daily spiritual nourishment from the word of God we would become weak spiritually and become a victim of the attacks of satan in our lives . We must take time to meditate and feed on the word of God. The Lord would give us revelation and insights which would be a great blessing to us. This is our spiritual nourishment which helps us to grow strong in our spiritual life.
May the Lord help us to grow strong in the word of God.We live by every word that comes from the mouth of God. It is the word of God that gives us the strength to face the realities and difficulties of life. Therefore we must pay careful attention to what the Lord is saying to us . Because we live by the word of God . Otherwise we would perish in the circumstances of life.

Matthew 4:4
" Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
1 Peter 2:2
" as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,"
I Timothy 4:6
If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters,[a] you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.
Deuteronomy 8:2-3
Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.
He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
3.FELICITY
**********
We must be filled with the word of God. Those who delight in the word of God and meditate day and night on His word would experience success in all their endeavours. The Lord told Joshua to fill his heart and mind with the word of God in order to make his way prosperous and have good success. We should not fill our hearts and minds with the filth and the evil of this world. Rather we must fill it with the truths of the word of God.

Psalms 1: 2-3

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season nd whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. "
Joshua 1 :7-8
" Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. "
