“….so that ‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them….” Mark 4:12 (NKJV)

As you journey in your Christian walk, one of the things that helps you bear fruit in every area of your life is your understanding of God’s word. The more you understand God’s word, the more you unlock the blessings and possibilities embedded in the word.

Sadly, not many of God’s people are doing much to understand the word of God. Many don’t even crave for it. Instead, they hear the word and toss it aside. In most cases when you tell them about how powerful the word can be, they just look at you with so much disbelief, because for them, they don’t see how the word of God can actually change circumstances in their lives, so they continue to wallow in all manner of difficulties which is not God’s plan for their lives.

Beloved, if you are going to subdue and conquer the challenges of this life, you must make a conscious decision to go for God’s word and not only so, understand what it says. It is your understanding of the word of God that helps you hold on to God in times of difficulties. It is your understanding of God that causes the word you have received to bear fruits in your life and that is what causes you to bear fruits in different areas of your life. So, do everything you can to understand the word of God. Sometimes, you will face some kind of difficulties in gaining understanding of the word and that happens, because the devil is trying to make sure you never understand anything. However, when you understand that the devil tries to bring distraction so that you don’t understand the word, it becomes easy to stand your ground and use the name of Jesus to cancel every such activity. Remember, if you can fight off these distractions that the enemy brings in the way, you will surely win in all areas of your life. Praise God!
