Word of God

Word of God

·         Ezekiel 3:1-9 è Word of God is Sweet as Honey

Ø  God wanted Ezekiel to live on the insights and knowledge that God’s word provides. And the same is true for you. If you are going to live God’s way, then you should be feasting on God’s word every day. Just having it on the shelf won’t do it. You need to read it. You need to study it. You need to meditate on it. God’s Word provides you with spiritual nutrition.

Ø  Ezekiel is not the only one God has commissioned. He has also called us to share his word with others, who are not willing to listen, harden and obstinate, rebellious people. We are to continue the work Jesus did while he was on earth.

·         Joshua 1:7-9 è true success is KNOWING & DOING what God says.

Ø  prosperous & successful 

Ø  strong & courageous 

Ø  not be afraid

Ø  not be discouraged 

Ø  The lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
