The Assurance of the Integrity of God's Word.

Deacon Adekunle Adenuga

The integrity of the Word is the foundation of faith. From eternity to eternity, the Word of LORD is ever truth. It cannot be added to or be subtracted from. The Word of God is producer of the eternal truthful work of God. Every work of God is accomplished by the creative Word of God.

Hebrews 6:17-18 KJV
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

The reason for unbelief and a faltering faith is a lack of assurance of the integrity of the promises in the Word. The Word is called the Word of faith. Romans 10:10. Gods Word gives birth to faith; it is Gods faith expressed. Faith comes by hearing and giving audience to the Word of God. Faith is increased by the Word. Faith is made strong and establish by the Word of God. Acts 20:32.

Hebrews 11:3 KJV
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

The universe came into being fresh from the womb of our Creator. Genesis 1:1-3. When the Word is released into any situations / circumstances, God himself is released into the situations / circumstances. God is one with the Word. God linked and tied and bonded Himself with the Word. He is not only in His Word; He is back [support / sponsor] of His Word. You cannot separate Him from His Word.
John 1:1-3 KJV
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

All heaven is back of the Word. The very throne of God is back of the Word. And Jesus and the Father are back of the throne. They are all a part of the Word. Hebrews 7:22 KJV By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Jesus Christ is the guarantee of the new covenant, meaning the Word of the covenant cannot fail because Jesus Christ will never fail. Praise God! The New covenant was established between the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Now, God the Father will not fail neither will Jesus Christ fail, therefore, the covenant will not fail.

Some Facts About The Word.

The Word is always now. It has been, it is and it will be the voice of God. it is never old. It is always fresh and now. The Word is a present tense, living voice from heaven to the heart that is in fellowship with the Father. The Word is like its Author: eternal, unchanging, living. Hebrews 4:12{Amp}, For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. When you know that His Word is as authoritative today as it was when it fell from His lips, then it will be a living thing in your lips. The Fathers Word in Jesus lips accomplished things. The Fathers Word in your lips will accomplish things, even as it did in Jesus lips. His living Word in lips of faith will do the same today. Faith is simply the Word prevailing over sense evidence.

John 12:49-50 KJV
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

When you know that the Word is God speaking to you, you will speak the Word with authority. Jesus spoke the Word with authority and His Word healed all that were oppressed of the devil. Matthew 7:28-29; Matthew 8:16.

Building your faith requires feeding on the Word and acting upon it. Faith in God is faith in His Word. John 1:1. Unbelief in the Word is unbelief in Him, the Author of it. Our attitude toward the Word settles everything. When you honour the Word, you will be honoured. Honour unto God is achieved by giving honour unto His Word, for the Word is God. When you give attention to the Word, the heaven will give attention to you. When you love the Word, you will be blessed beyond measure. Faith in God is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It is our handle on what we cannot see.

The results you get from the Word of God are measured by the attention you give to the Word you hear and received. The measure of honour and attention you give to the Word that you hear is the measure of power and virtue that will come into your heart to bring that Word to pass. Gods Word is meant to be received, accepted and welcomed. It is taking hold of the Word. It is the reality of and from God. Gods reality will work effectively and supernaturally in them who believe. When you dare to act on the reality of God, it becomes effective and operative in you, and working out all things, God prepared for you. Ephesians 3:20.

Psalms 12:6 KJV
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

The Word of God is pure and right. It has been proved and tested. The Bible says the Word of God is the sword of the Spirit. It is the weapon of warfare mighty through God to the pulling them of every strongholds and imaginations and thoughts that exalted itself against the Word of God. You can only use a weapon that has been tested and proved. In the good fight of faith, the Word is our shield of faith and sword of the Spirit. You do not use a weapon in battle trying to find out its effectiveness; that is determined and settled long before. You use a weapon to fight knowing fully well its effectiveness. This is a confidence.


Proverbs 13:13 MSG
13 Ignore the Word and suffer; honor God's commands and grow rich.

When you despise the Word, you will be lightly esteemed and suffer. When you disesteem the Word, you will suffer and be in bondage. I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes. The Word in your lips can be as mighty as the Word in the Masters lips. John 12:49. The Word was real; the Word is real. This is the foundation of faith. Now soak in the Word. Let the Word work in you. The living Word in your lips will be like the spoken Word in Pauls lips. The Fathers Word in the lips ruled by faith will be like His Word in Jesus lips. His Word does things. His creative ability is in His Word today. The Word is God speaking to you. The Word is the Father speaking to you. When you are reading the Word, it is the Father speaking to you. Isaiah 41:10; Jeremiah 33:3; John 15:1-5.

Ezekiel 3:10 KJV
10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
Hearing the Word with your ears and receiving the Word into your heart guarantees the delivery of the promises. Every Word of God has been programmed to bring forth for the Word is the seed. All the promises of God are yes and amen in Him. Even if you do not believe His Word, God will ever remain faithful unchangeable to His promises. Isaiah 46:11 KJV Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. Every Word spoken by God will come to pass. God is ever faithful to his Word. He remains unchangeable to His Word. Because he is God that declares the end from the beginning, whatever He begins, He also completes. His counsel shall stand and none can thwart His counsel. All He requires from you is to trust in His Word and received into the good ground of your heart.
