IN THE BEGINING
Before time of creation this
expression is used in
GENESIS 1:1 which is
applied to GOD in both
places it clearly means
before creation, before the
world was made , when as
yet there was nothing
carries into the depths of
eternity, before time or
creatures were, the WORD
as agent of creation exist.
A “word” is that by which
we communicate our will:
by which we convey our
thoughts; or by which we
issues his commandments
in ISAIAH 48:13 the
foundation of the earth and
heaven was made after
GOD spoke, when GOD
spoke the word, I call unto
them they stand up
together
The word was GOD, which
signifies perfect
relationship with GOD the
FATHER and GOD the son in
eternity, which emphasizes
JESUS divinity, JESUS CHRIST
was not created he not only
reveals GOD, he was GOD ,is
eternal always having
relationship with the
FATHER and the Holy spirit

CHRIST is the expression of
GOD’S wisdom and its
creative power

24)Verily, verily, I say unto
you he that heareth my
word and believeth on him
that sent me hath
everlasting life, and shall
not come into
condemnation; but is
passed from death unto life
|
VERILY VERILY I SAY UNTO
YOU HE HEAREH MY WORD
JESUS CHRIST word, the
gospel, his doctrine, his
teaching and all that he
taught about himself and
the FATHER, they are not
mere sound for him to hear
not understand in his ears,
nor affect his heart with
some mere sudden and
vanishing passion, but
internal hearing, so as to
understand it spiritually ,
love it and distinguish from
that , which is not the
doctrine of CHRIST, feel the
power of it in his heart and
yield the obedience of faith
unto it, that he gives and
assent to them; and firmly
and steadily believe him
that sent me
hearing JESUS word, by
being committed and
obedience to it, in order
to be saved
believing GOD, that is,
by believing that GOD
has sent his SON JESUS
CHRIST to save them
The result of being saved:
eternal life, a man passes
from the state of death into
the state of life, from the
state of condemnation into
state of justification, when a
man is truly saved he is
never condemned to die: he
is declared righteous and
given eternal life

JOHN 3:34
|
34)For he whom GOD has
sent speaks the words of
GOD for GOD gives not the
Spirit by measure unto him
|
JESUS CHRIST whom GOD
sent out of heaven, out of
his bosom in human nature,
, in the fullness of time as
savior of the world, not
authorizing as Minister but
he speaks the word of GOD,
the truth, the doctrine of
grace, the word of truth, the
word of righteousness , the
word of peace and
reconciliation, the word of
salvation and eternal life;
commands of GOD alone
had the full measure of the
Spirit, there was no limit to
the Spirit:
The spirit was given to
JESUS far away as it was
given to other men, there is
no limit to his presence and
have the perfect and full of
the Spirit, the fullness of
grace in him,

Moses, ye would have

about me

writings, how shall ye
believe my words?

FOR HAD YE BELIEVED
MOSES YE WOULD HAVE
BELIEVE ME
If you believe in the
writings of Moses ye would
have believe me, for there is
agreement between Moses
and JESUS CHRIST, CHRIST is
the end of the law of
Moses; and in him the
accomplishment of his
writings for he wrote about
me:
In the book written by
Moses in GENESIS 3:15 the

seed of the woman, that
should bruise the serpent’s
head, as the seed of
Abraham , in whom all
nations of the earth should
be blessed,
DEUTORONOMY 18:15
The LORD thy GOD will
raise up unto thee a
prophets from the midst of
thee, of thy brethren
to him will the gathering of
the people be; and as
prophet who will be like
himself; to whom the
people of Israel be hearken

WRITING

MATtHEW 4:4

4)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
|
There is no better response
to the tempter than using
the word of GOD to disarm
the devil as to spiritual
combat
In reply to this artful
temptation CHRIST
answered by quotation from
the old Testament, from the
passage found In
DEUTERONOMY 8:3
Moses says that the LORD
humble his people and feed
them with manna, an
unusual kind of food, that
they might learn that man
did not live by bread alone,
but that there are other
things to support life, and
everything which GOD had
commanded in his word,
which proceeded out of the
mouth of GOD, which he
|
|
choose to command his
people.
Life depends on the will of
GOD, man must live by
everything that his Maker
has commanded, man need
more than bread or food, he
needs more than physical
needs, being met, Man
needs GOD’S life, he needs
eternal life and he needs his
spiritual need met.
He would have failed by
teaching error, the error
that the physical is more
important than the spiritual
and that receiving is more
important than giving, there
is a spiritual hunger that is
just not met by bread,
Man’s responsibility is the
same as CHRIST’S was: to
trust GOD and seek the
things of GOD as he walks
day by days throughout our
life MATHEW 6:24-34,
Man must learn that he
needs GOD and depended
upon GOD, he cannot live
without GOD, temptation is
to be resisted by using the
word of GOD

19)When any one heareth
the word of the kingdom,
and under-standeth it not,

WHEN ANY ONE HEARETH
THE WORD OF THE

The seed represents the
word of GOD, which is the
instrument by which GOD
raised up CHRIST’S kingdom
on earth by communicating
in any manner to the minds
of the people by the
scriptures, in preaching and

same is he that heareth the
word, and anon with joy

21)Yet hath he not root in
himself, but dureth for a

22) He also that received
seed among the thorns is he
that heareth the word; and

the deceitfulness of riches,

providence, or by the direct
influence of the Holy spirit
That is the person who
receive the word of GOD
determine the type of soil,
which receive the seed that
reflect four types of soil,
which represent four type
of people.
AND UNDERSTAND IT NOT
IN HIS HEART
THE SEED BY THE WAT SIDE
He is the one that is
careless and inattentive,
negligent and forgetful; has
some slight notions of
things as he hears,
hardened in sin, take no
impression but these pass
away as they come; his
affections are not at all
touched, but remains as
stupid, and as unconcerned
as ever; his heart is not
opened to attend to, and
receive the word, but
continues hard and
adamant; then cometh the
wicked one, Satan the
accuser, the tempter, , this
is he which receiveeth the
seed by the way side.
HE THAT RECEIVE SEED IN A
STONY PLACE
Such a hearer who are like
to the stony ground on ,
which the word fell
The seed on the stony or
rocky soil is a rootless heart
that results in a surface,
superficial life, this the
person who hear the word
and becomes excited over
it, he received the word,
profess belief in CHRIST and
make professional faith
|
|
|
before the world, but fails
to count the cost, to
consider the commitment,
the self-denial, the sacrifice,
study, the learning, the hour
and effort required, he dose
not apply himself to learn
CHRIST.
Therefore he is not rooted
and grounded in the word,
he is only a surface believer,
when trails and temptation
comes, he falls away, his
professing is dried and
consumed, and burnt up in
the heat of trails and
temptation
THE SEED AMONG THORNS
These represent the cares,
the anxieties: and deceitful
lure of riches, which is the
way we desire to be rich
deceived the people.
The thorny soil is a worldly
heart, this is a person who
receives the word and
honestly tries to live for
CHRIST, but the thorns of
worldliness,, wordly riches
deceitfulness of them,
which always lead persons
out of the right way the
GOD’S way; cause them to
err from the faith, who
pierce themselves through
with many sorrows in
acquiring and keeping them
he is unwilling to cut
completely loose from the
word, he kept right growing
in the midst of thorns,
giving his mind and
attention to the worries and
wealth and pleasure of this
world, by the passion to the
love of gain, foolishly drown
|

|
themselves in destruction
and punishment
Fruit does appear, but it
never ripens, it is never able
to plucked, the thorns
choke the life out of it, it
never lives to be used.
The rich young ruler LUKE
18:18-22
HE THAT HEAR THE WORD
AND UNDERSTAND IT
Those whose heart are
prepared by grace to
receive it with a honest
hear, and give it full
opportunity to grow , in rich
and mellow soil- In a heart
that submits itself to the full
influence of truth, unchoked
by cares and anxieties;
under divine grace; with the
heart spread open, like
abroad, luxuriant field, to
the ray of the morning and
to evening dews, the word
take deep root and grows.
Spiritual understanding
given to him, feel the power
of his heart, enlightening
and quickening him, receive
it as the word of GOD in
faith, and with the love, and
with the readiness and
meekness with an honest
and good heart; which no
man naturally has; nor can
any man make his heart so;
this is the work of GOD and
owning to his efficacious
grace, which also bear fruit
with patience and brings
forth some hundred fold,
some sixty and some thirty:
the fruit bore and brought
forth by such an hearer is
the fruit of grace and
righteousness, and all from
JESUS CHRIST under the
influence of the Holy Spirt.

MATTHEW 24:35

35)Heaven and earth shall
pass away, but my words
shall not pass away
|
HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL
PASS AWAY:
JESUS CHRIST adds a
solemn assurance that his
words have in them a
liveliness and endurance
which mightiest works of
nature , the fact and truths
embodied in his words are
sure and steadfast, and
what he has promised or
predicted shall inevitably be
fulfilled
Heaven and earth will give
way for a new heaven and
earth, but not the word
spoken by JESUS CHRIST,
what he said will happen ,
You may see heaven and
earth pass away and return
to nothing, than my words
to fail, which is warning for
the preparation for his
second coming

MAKING THE WORD OF
GOD OF NO EFFECT
Tradition can nullify the
word of GOD or make the
word of GOD of ineffective,
institutions traditions are
such things as rituals ,rules,
regulation, schedules,
forms, services, procedures
anything.
Personal tradition are such
things as church
attendance, prayers, habits,
ceremonies, objects which a
person use while neglecting
and ignoring GOD’S words.
The religionist skillfully,
cunningly show great art, in
laying aside GOD'S
Commandments and
substituting it with man’s
doctrine, traditions, rules,
ceremonies and rituals.

24)Therefore whosoever
heareth these sayings of
mine, and doeth them, I will
liken him unto a wise man,
which built his house upon a
rock
25)And the rain descended,
and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat
upon that house; and it fell
not; for it was founded
upon a rock
|
THEREFORE WHOSOEVER
HEARETH THESE SAYING OF
MINE
Any person who Hears the
words of JESUS CHRIST,,
believes in him, gives up
themselves to him, to be
saved by him with
everlasting salvation: such a
person must hear and
follow by obeying his words
and build upon what he
hears, ever leaning, a
person must build on a solid
foundation, which is on the
rock.
We as believers must build
our lives once we are in this
world, how we build our lies
determines our eternal
destiny
JESUS CHRIST instructs us
on how to build our lives, by
hearing and obeying his
words and doctrines, which
is the class of the wise
builder that builds on the
rock
The wise builder builds on
the rock, JESUS CHRIST is
the only living rock, the only
foundation upon which we
can build and structure our
lives and CHRIST is that rock
1 CORINTHIANS 3:11
The LORD is not a lifeless
rock ,but the living
milk-1 PE.2:2 We are to grow and
build up through his
word
We come to the LORD as
a living stone through
his word 1 PE-2:4
We build spiritual life by
him through his word 1
PE.2:5
Our lives and destinies are
determined g by what we
do with the Word and the
saying of the LORD JESUS
CHRIST, building upon the
rock takes time, and
commitment and energy,
we have to deny ourselves
give up slumber, and apply
ourselves ever to be diligent
in seeking the word to do
them
The wise builder faces a
storm, there have always
been storms in life, and the
wise builder is not
exempted for all kinds of
storm, rain will come there
are storms:
Sickness, Mistreatment
Sorrow, handicaps
Nervous stress
Loneliness
Tension
Disease
Sin
Suffering
Disappointment
Poverty
Pain Death
Rejection
Accident, Loss
Abuse , Failure
Hospitalization
If a person builds his life
upon JESUS CHRIST he never
fails, no matter the severity
of the storm, GOD promises
his children believers’ to
work out all storm to gather
for good to those who build
wisely on him.
Yet we pretend in vain to
build on him, if we do not
obey his doctrine, and make
it rule of our lives

JEREMIAH 15:16

16)Thy words were found,
and I did eat them; and thy
word was unto me the joy
and rejoicing of mine heart;
for I am called by thy name,
o LORD GOD of host
|
THY WORDS WERE FOUND
AND I DID EAT THEM:
The word was found, the
eating of Divine words, the
messages he was called to
deliver unto others where
of GOD, and they were as
welcome to him as food is
to hungry man: he
cheerfully received them,
treasured them up in his
memory, digest them in his
heart and carefully retain
them,
So the doctrine of the
Gospel, which are the word
of GOD, and not men, when
by searching and close
application they are found
in the scriptures, and the
revealed word of GOD, they
are food for the souls
sweet, appetizing,
wholesome, nourishing, and
strengthening ,

JOHN 6:63

63)It is the Spirit that
quikeneth ; the flesh
profiteth nothing; the word
that words that I speak unto
you, they are Spirit, and
they are life
|
IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT
QUICKENETH
The Spirit alone gives
eternal life, human effort
accomplishes nothing
JESUS is the living word; the
bible is the written word,
we are saved by GOD’S
grace and the Spirit of
|
|
regenerating power, when
we first hear and receive
the word, we continue to be
save and receive grace by
remaining in union with
CHRIST and partaking of the
word of GOD continually
through reading, obeying
and absorbing its truth into
our hearts.
THE FLESH PROFIT
NOTHING
The flesh cannot quicken
and makes a man alive, the
flesh can neither profit nor
count for a man, they use
cosmetic, clothing and
activities to look young and
attractive and physically
capable , but before to long,
before they ever imagine ,
the flesh proves
unprofitable: it ages,
deteriorates, and
surrenders to the process of
decay the seed of
corruption and man dies the
flesh profit nothing., not
eternal, once a man dies his
flesh is gone forever never
return the flesh is
concerned with:
THE WORD I SPEAK UNTO
YOU THEY ARE SPIRIT AND
LIFE
Only the spirit can quicken
a man and make him alive,
giving him abundant and
eternal life, by receiving the
word of CHRIST, the words
that CHRIST spoke were
Spirit and life, when a man
receive the word of JESUS
CHRIST the doctrine, the
gospel , which is made to
conveying the Spirit of GOD,
as a spirit of illumination
and sanctification, into the
hearts of men, and of
quickening sinners dead in
trespasses and sin; and the
truth of it into his heart and
life, he begins to live: he
actually experiences the
Spirit of GOD entering his
life and beginning to
experience real life of divine
grace

JOHN 8:43
|
43) Why do ye not
understand my speech?
Even because ye cannot
hear my word
|
WHY DO YOU NOT
UNDERSTAND MY SPEECH?
The religionist and false
prophet could not
understand the true word of
GOD, it is offensive to them,
they hated it, and hence
corrupt the meaning , their
pride, vanity, and
wickedness oppose it
because of hardness of
heart, the word expose their
sin and emptiness .
Because ye cannot hear my
word, as they had no
spiritual discerning and
understanding of the
doctrine of JESUS CHRIST,
they do not know the
mysteries of the kingdom of
GOD, they are spiritually
blind, corrupt, which shows
them to be carnal, and
natural men and not
regenerated ones, and the
children of GOD; they had
an hatred to it, and could
not bear to hear it
No man could possibly be
of GOD, who does not
understand the word, the
teaching and doctrine of
JESUS CHRIST, who does not
hear the word of CHRIST
open his heart to it

JOHN 8:31-32
|
31)Then said JESUS to those
Jews which believe on him,
if ye continue in my word
then are ye my disciples
indeed
32)And ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall
make you free
|
IF YOU CONTINUE IN MY
WORD THEN ARE YOU MY
DISCIPLE
This true test of believers
they are cautions by JESUS
who is the author; the
preacher, teacher and the
substance of it; and to
continue in it, is having
cordially received it, to
abide by it, and hold fast,
and not to be moved from it
by the temptation of Satan;
to cunning of those that lie
in wait to deceive; nor by
the reviling against putting
much confidence on a single
sermon for new convert.
Believers are never to place
confidence in the past faith
or past experience, it is only
if he continues in the word
of JESUS that confidence of
salvation is guaranteed
The word of the LORD
JESUS is believer’s dwelling
place, he continue and
abide in GOD;S word by;
A person who really
begins to believe will
abide in the LORD’S
word, he will continue
both to study and to do
the word
The proof and evidence
that a person really
believe’ is that he does
“continue and abide and
dwell in the JESUS word
|
|
AND YE SHALL KNOW THE
TRUTH
In the mind of human
knowledge, many things are
true, yet the only one truth
that will set people free
from sin, destruction and
Satan dominion if JESUS
CHRIST himself his
revelation of the true
scripture, saving truth is
relieved by CHRIST.
The true believer will know
the truth and he will be
made free from:
Hatred and bitterness
Enslavements and
abuses
Hunger and sickness
Selfishness and
hoarding
Crime and injustice
Lust and immorality
The truth set one free from
the bondage of sin, man will
no more struggle with the
weight of quilt, JESUS
CHRIST, the truth sets men
free from the bondage of
judgment and HELL, the
darkness of the unknown
future and the
apprehension of future
judgment constantly face
man, the truth set men free
to be saved to the
uttermost existence of Love,
Joy, Peace Satisfaction,
Pleasure, Hope and no good
thing is denied man
All person has to CHRIST for
salvation, and eternal lives,
for CHRIST lives forever to
intercede for every man
that believe and continue in
his word and live the word.
