All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doct- rine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. —
2Timothy 3:16
The Bible isn’t just any book. It is God’s owner’s manual. It is God’s manifesto for human life. It is the manufacturer’s specification for all things of happiness. It is the authoritative Word from the Creator of the universe about how life really works.2Timothy 3:16
Every word of it comes from the mouth of God. The Author is God, and the writers were “holy men of God who spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit”. It is God-breathed. It will outlast heaven and earth. It instructs us about “all things that pertain to life and godliness”.
You will never have the power to live a full, fruitful, godly life until you choose God’s Word as your final authority. Do you want power over temptation? Do you want power to make wealth? Do you want power over that draining and difficult circumstance that you can’t conquer on your own? God’s Word has the power. God has eternally determined that what is written there will happen.
Have you accepted the priority and authority of God’s Word? Here’s how you know when the Bible is your authority: when it can stop you from doing something you are bent on doing. If you were going in one direction that seemed right to you but then realised the truth through the word of God, and changed direction, then that’s proof you are living under the authority of God’s Word. You will find success and prosperity only when you put yourself under the authority of the infallible word of God.
Prayer:
Lord, I submit my whole life to the authority of your word.Scriptural Reading:
