FOR YOUR ASSURING WHOLENESS – FEED YOUR INNER-BEING HEALTHILY: THAT’S HOW YOU WILL ENSURE THE PREVAILING WORD DEFAULT! 

“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” Mathew 4:4 [Luke 4:4]. 

Do you want to live WHOLLY — I mean to experience the promise of WHOLENESS from God? 
Then live by every WORD of God, for it is God’s measure for every content and context of your path in doing life and living godly in the grace. 

This is important, especially as a believing child of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

For Biblical JOB of old knew it, and the Psalmist DAVID the king knew it well too. Their heart’s desire and longing for the WORD was the essence of their living. Each of them, like many, craved after the WORD, and it was so ordained that the WORD became their hallmark to thrive in doing life and living godly in the grace that was available to them. 

And that is what shaped their onward and upward trajectory in the grace, as it is written about them in the Holy Writ:  

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. 12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have ESTEEMED the WORDS of His MOUTH more than my NECESSARY food” Job 23:12. 

“O how LOVE I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast MADE me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts . . . 105 Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my feet, 

and a LIGHT unto my path . . . 130 The entrance of thy WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the simple” Psalms 119:97-100, 105, 130. 

What made me curate this writ is what I have heard and keep hearing over time — something so disturbing: the perversion and misleading that many are ignorantly embracing. 
It is the hearing, now and again, of some people saying to others: 

• To STAY POSITIVE, and/or 

• To SPEAK POSITIVE, and/or 

• To BE POSITIVE in mindset. 

The above, and such like, are matters I have seen and heard severally, as people go about recommending them to themselves and to others when addressing their various challenges in their respective contexts. 

And indeed, I want you to know that though such may seem and sound good in a MOTIVATIONAL attitude and concept, it is not the Scriptural path to kingdom redemption. 
Common sense is not Scriptural sense by any measure or mile. 

It is unfortunate for the REDEEMED, born of God, to be thinking positively instead of Scripturally. 

I want the scriptural child of God to know that the act of life and living is of the human spirit — [SPIRIT-BEING] — and not of the mind as to mindset. And this act of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead revolves around our FAITH — I mean, our faith in God through Christ Jesus. 

And our FAITH is of the WORD. To do life and godly living outside the WORD is to live by FATE. 

And to live by FATE instead of by FAITH is to do life by your will-power or by a principle of determining your cause — a mentality of the mind that believes things in general will just come to be as they are, or that events will just happen for good as they are meant to happen, without any action of the Word personified and in the perspective of the person involved. 

This concept, unfortunately, has made many think in their own way that in doing life and facing challenges, it is by their mind-power and not by the consequence of the act of God through the WORD. 

“By FAITH [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the WORD of God, so that what is SEEN was not made out of things which are VISIBLE” Hebrews 11:3/Amplified. 

“For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the ENCOURAGEMENT of the SCRIPTURES we might have HOPE and OVERFLOW with CONFIDENCE in His PROMISES “ Romans 15:4/Amplified.  

Not living by FAITH through the SCRIPTURE makes one to live by FATE as a robot — with a self-willed mentality, without the God essence, and with nothing to hold on to from God’s promises as the basis of a Scriptural context. 

Unlike the act of FATE, the act of FAITH is built on and of God’s WORD. It is the born-again Believer’s concept and context of belief in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

And as a believer in God through Christ Jesus, you need to know that the act of FATE belongs to the non-believer or the atheist, whose concept and context is that things will happen irrespective of any decision. As they say — “WHAT WILL BE WILL BE”, and “IT IS WHAT IT IS”. 

It is most unfortunate to bank upon that as a REDEEMED child of God in Christ Jesus’ stead.  

“And he that DOUBETH is damned if he eat, because he eateth NOT of FAITH : for WHATSOEVER is NOT OF FAITH is sin” Romans 14:23. 

More so, the Believer’s FAITH is a belief in God through Christ Jesus’ stead, and it is not built on POSITIVE THINKING or CONCEPT to enhance or sustain such a motivational context and content — but it is purely and only built upon God’s WORD. 

For Faith is of God’s WORD, and it results FROM the WORD of God. Faith is the consequence of God’s WORD — the synergistic de facto in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus. 

And it can COME and it can GO, except the Word of God in context is synergised, as enjoined in the Holy Writ: 
Romans 10:17 

“So then FAITH COMETH by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of God” 

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is ABLE to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are SET APART for God’s PURPOSE —ALL BELIEVERS]” Acts 20:32/Amplified.  

Be REMINDED and INFORMED that the MAN in your huMAN is a spirit being. He has a soul and lives in a body, indicating that man is a triune — being — 1 Thessalonians 5:23. Hebrews 4:12. 

And the MAN in the HU-MAN spirit is SUSTAINED by the BREATH of God through God’s WORD, just as the human BODY is SUSTAINED and kept functioning by OXYGEN, as written in the Holy Writs, but not limited to these scriptures: 

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH OF LIFE; and man became a LIVING soul” Genesis 2:7. 

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INWARD PARTS of the belly” Proverbs 20:27. 

“But there is a spirit in man: 

and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty giveth them understanding” Job 32:8. 

“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath given me life” Job 33:4. 

“For the WORD of God is quick [ALIVE, LIVING], and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a DISCERNER of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13. 

“And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 

Therefore, the Man’s real BEING is activated by the human spirit, whose breath of LIFE is kept alive in FAITH by the Spirit of God through God’s WORD — Hebrews 4:12-13. 

That is why the HOLY Writs of Proverbs 18:14, Proverbs 17:22 and Proverbs 4:20-23 enjoin us to look after our spirit BEING and to be INCLINED to God’s SAYING [WORD], before it is damaged by life circumstances. 

Otherwise its end result is depressing, dangerous, damaging, and not sustainable by mere positive speaking or thinking, nor easily handled by mere wishes. 

Hence, being inclined to the Scriptures by FAITH is important when facing life challenges, especially when you are in a delicate state — as I have come to know through the “Pastoral Faith-clinic and faith-surgery counselling” times with various kinds of people over the years. 

The Believers in God through Christ Jesus who are severely broken and badly depressed are difficult to bring back to live in reality by a mere wishing of POSITIVE perception of life, until the WORD of God takes its place in them. 

One can only — I say ONLY — be restored to thrive in the grace by the WORD, in the context of the circumstances they are dealing with, as they pragmatically resolve to have an absolute, intentional and resolute stance in the grace. 

It must be noted that when the man in the hu-man, which is the SPIRIT-BEING that ensures and assures the life and living span of any human, is not WHOLE and in WHOLENESS, and the total being is traumatised by the reasons and matters of life challenges, the entire being — soul and body — becomes dysfunctional. 

And a mere use of chemicals to overcome such traumatised challenges can only suppress the action of the body. And while it may offer a reflex to the soul for a moment, the real determining factor of the being, which is the SPIRIT-BEING, will remain active but undetected by stethoscope, scan, x-ray and other metaphysical and chemical medicinal appliances. 

It is only when there is the introduction of the WORD of God — the agency of grace to do the proposition and diagnosis into the division of the spirit, soul and body of such a person — that the undetected active MAN in the HU-MAN is detected, thereby giving rise to resolving the malady that is at play.  

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED [BROKEN, DEPRESSED] spirit who can bear?” Proverbs 18:14/Emphasis mine. 

“A MERRY heart [spirit] doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN [DEPRESSED] spirit drieth the bones” Proverbs 17:22/Emphasis mine. 

“For THE WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, PENETRATING as far as the DIVISION of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified. 

I want you to know and be REMINDED, if you already know, that the FAITH that is of God’s WORD in life is not a DOCTRINE, CREED or DENOMINATIONAL set belief. 

And its functionality is not about being POSITIVE as in a motivational concept, but it is by ACTING accordingly on God’s WORD in which you BELIEVE, in any context of needs and demands. 

It is the steadfast hold by FAITH on God’s WORD that gives the freedom to triumph, dominion, thrive, victory and such like in the grace. And the WORD by FAITH makes one also become an overcomer and more than a conqueror in life and godliness in the grace, as in the Holy Writ: 
Hebrews 10:23; Romans 10:6-10; 1 John 5:3-5; Romans 8:35-40; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Revelation 12:11; 1 Corinthians 15:57 

Therefore, don’t just live POSITIVE FOR NOTHING or WITH NOTHING — that is, by being in an EMPTINESS of the mind, as with those that practice “ASTRAL TRAVELS OF THEIR MIND” which results in FATE. 

God can only work through His WORD to make all things work together for the good and goodness for any. 

It is true that God does MIRACLES, but a miracle is a CONSEQUENCE of His WORD and not by COINCIDENCE, as in magic, sorcery or divination, as in witchcraft and such like. 

The Miracles of God can only happen by the cause of THE WORD, which does indicate then that: 
NO WORD means NO FAITH — Romans 10:17 
NO FAITH means NO ANSWERS to PRAYERS and NO PLEASING of God — Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 16:7; Romans 14:23; Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:17 
And NO PLEASING of God means one is left vulnerable to the enemy and cohorts that are working against our FAITH in the grace — Proverbs 16:7 

So, the act of victory and triumph by FAITH in all life and living circumstances is by the WORD, for the good of the SPIRIT-BEING of the Believers in the grace. 

And I hereby repeat again, as previously mentioned, the need to know full well that FAITH is not a creed, doctrine or denominational belief, but the mystery of grace to ACCESS THE HEAVENLY for our EARTHLY ENDEAVOURS — 1 Timothy 3:9; Romans 5:1-2 

And it is the GIVEN, ENDUED and ENDOWED access to the Believers in Christ Jesus by THE MEASURE of divine providence and not by A MEASURE as some may attribute. It is the Believer’s basis to function in earthly affairs in the grace, to ensure and assure the heavenly RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 
Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; Romans 5:1-2 

And FAITH is sustained by the WORD to help the human spirit stay actively alive on this side of the heavens — Romans 10:17; Hebrews 4:12-13 

Where there is NO WORD . . . there is NO FAITH, and it thus means that the human spirit is then STARVED — meaning no SPIRITUAL OXYGEN. And the consequences are more than what words could be used to explain. 

So, I exhort you to FEED your life and living SPIRIT-BEING with THE WORD of God HEALTHILY and not anyhow or randomly, for it will enhance one’s focus and result to live in wholeness in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

THE SECRET OF ANY TRUE GREATNESS AND WHOLENESS IS IN THE SECRET OF THE WORD. IT GIVES LIFE TO YOUR BEING AND WELL-BEING. JUST THINK ABOUT IT TODAY AND ALWAYS! 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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” Mathew 4:4. 

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly” Proverbs 20:27. 

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. 12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have ESTEEMED the WORDS of his MOUTH more than my NECESSARY food” Job 23:12. 

“O how LOVE I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast MADE me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100. 

“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; incline thine EAR unto my SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the MIDST of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH (MEDICINE) to all their FLESH. 23 Keep thy HEART with all diligence; for out of it are the ISSUES of LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23 [Emphasis Mine]. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is a prophetic exhortation that true wholeness, victory and spiritual vitality for the Believer is only found by feeding the SPIRIT-BEING with THE WORD of God — not by positive thinking, motivational concepts, or fate. It contrasts FAITH vs FATE, WORD vs MINDSET, and SPIRIT-BEING vs BODY/SOUL, showing that the human being is triune and the spirit-man must be sustained by God’s WORD and BREATH the same way the body is sustained by oxygen. 

KEY POINTS: 

1. The Foundation: Life is in THE WORD, Not in Positivity

• FAITH is not DOCTRINE, CREED or POSITIVE THINKING. It is ACTING on God’s WORD in which you believe. 

• NO WORD = NO FAITH. NO FAITH = NO PLEASING OF GOD — Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11:6 

• To live POSITIVE “FOR NOTHING” is emptiness and leads to FATE. God only works through His WORD — Matthew 4:4 

2. Man is a Triune Being Sustained by the WORD

• The MAN in your huMAN is a SPIRIT-BEING. He has a soul and lives in a body — 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12 

• Just as the BODY needs OXYGEN, the SPIRIT-BEING needs the BREATH of God through His WORD — Genesis 2:7; Job 33:4 

• Without the WORD, the human spirit is STARVED — no “SPIRITUAL OXYGEN”. This causes the whole being to become dysfunctional.

3. FAITH vs FATE

• FAITH is built on and of God’s WORD. It is for the born-again Believer. It gives triumph, dominion, victory — Romans 8:35-40 

• FATE is the “whatever will be, will be” mentality of the non-believer/atheist. It is self-willed, without God’s essence. 

• To live outside the WORD is to live by FATE — a robotic, self-willed mentality.

4. The Damage of Ignoring the Spirit-Man

• A traumatised, wounded or broken spirit cannot be fixed by chemicals alone. Medication may suppress the body but the SPIRIT-BEING remains undetected and unhealed — Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22 

• Only THE WORD can diagnose and divide spirit, soul and body, and restore the MAN in the HU-MAN — Hebrews 4:12-13 

• This is why the Proverbs and Psalms enjoin us to guard and feed our spirit — Proverbs 4:20-23; Psalm 119:97-100 
   

5. Biblical Examples of WORD-Centred Living

• JOB esteemed God’s WORD more than his necessary food — Job 23:12 

• DAVID meditated on the law day and night. God’s WORD made him wiser and was a lamp to his path — Psalm 119:97-100, 105, 130 

• Their hallmark for thriving was craving and esteeming THE WORD. 
   

6. FAITH is Grace Access

• FAITH is the GIVEN, ENDUED and ENDOWED access by THE MEASURE of divine providence to ACCESS THE HEAVENLY for EARTHLY ENDEAVOURS — Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7 

• It is sustained by the WORD and makes one an overcomer and more than a conqueror — 1 John 5:3-5; Romans 8:37 

• Miracles are a CONSEQUENCE of the WORD, not coincidence, magic or witchcraft. 

Call to Action 

1. FEED YOUR SPIRIT-BEING HEALTHILY. Do not feed on random motivational thoughts. Intentionally and daily incline to God’s SAYING [WORD] before life circumstances damage you. 
2. REJECT FATE. EMBRACE FAITH. Stop banking on “it is what it is” or a positive mindset. Choose to act on THE WORD in every context of need. 
3. ESTEEM THE WORD ABOVE NECESSARY FOOD. Like Job and David, let the WORD be your meditation, lamp, light and medicine. 
4. GUARD YOUR HEART/SPIRIT. For out of it are the issues of life. Ensure your SPIRIT-BEING is WHOLE so your soul and body function in wholeness — Proverbs 4:23; 1 Thessalonians 5:23 

Final Charge: 

THE SECRET OF ANY TRUE GREATNESS AND WHOLENESS IS IN THE SECRET OF THE WORD. IT GIVES LIFE TO YOUR BEING AND WELL-BEING. JUST THINK ABOUT IT TODAY AND ALWAYS!
