UNDERSTANDING THE WORD!!!

WENESDAY 21ST MAY 2014,
WITH PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that
seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand {Luke 8:10}.

Anybody can study the Bible; however, only the Holy Spirit can grant you understanding and unveil the realities of the Kingdom to you. The anointing
can come on you to give you
understanding of the Word. Such an
anointing comes from the Holy Spirit.
John tells us that on a certain occasion,
Jesus “breathed” on His disciples and
said, “Receive Ye the Holy Ghost” (John
20:22). The Greek word translated
“breathed” is “emphusao” which also
means, “to blow at” or “on.” Jesus
‘blew’ on His disciples to receive the
Holy Ghost! Now, Luke 24:45 helps
give an explanation to what Jesus
actually did; it says, “Then opened he
their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures.”
We thus get the clearest picture of
what happened when we put John
20:22 and Luke 24:45 together. When
Jesus blew on His disciples and said to
them, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost,” He
actually imparted the Spirit of
understanding to them, and their
minds became anointed to understand
the Scriptures. Understanding the
Word is so important; Proverbs
4:7says, “…with all thy getting get
understanding” (Proverbs 4:7).
Reading the parable of the sower in
Mark 4 further enlightens us on the
importance of understanding the Word.
While explaining the parable, He
revealed that the seeds, which fell by
the wayside, represented those who
heard the Word and didn’t understand
it. Consequently, the devil came
immediately, and stole the Word from
their hearts.
God’s Word is the only thing the devil
seeks to take away from you; he
knows if he could steal the Word from
you, or prevent you from
understanding the Word, he could have
his way in your life. This is why you
must acknowledge and appreciate the
ministry of the Spirit in your life: He’s
the One who helps you understand the
Word of God, and grants you insight
and revelation of your heritage and
divine realities in Christ.
PRAYER::::}
Dear Father, I thank you for the
wonderful blessing and privilege of
having the Holy Spirit live in me,
granting me understanding of the
Scriptures. Thank you for unveiling
deep secrets and mysteries of the
Kingdom to me through your Word, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
