“Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,” Eph. 3:16.
Do you know what it means to be connected to a power source? Would you rather remain connected or disconnected? This power source will permeate you with extraordinary energy, vitality, strength, and wisdom to assist you in overcoming any challenge that comes against you. Of course you would like to have that kind of help! The amazing thing is that you already have it at your disposal! However, you may not have learned yet how to tap into this power source to receive its full benefits. Right there in your home or apartment is a source of power beyond your wildest imagination. It’s probably sitting on a shelf, situated nicely on a table, or perhaps even kept in the magazine rack in the room.
Or maybe you keep this source of power in the drawer of your desk at work or on the back seat of your car. You may have guessed by now that I’m talking about, yes! Your Bible; which is one of the greatest sources of power on earth! If you learn how to tap into God’s Word and let its power flow into you, it will equip you with wisdom, answers, and the power to overcome every single situation in life. When Timothy felt attacked on every side by difficult situations he was facing in the city of Ephesus, he wrote to Paul, seeking answers and help to his various dilemmas.
Expecting counsel and advice from Paul, he received a letter from Paul that contained these precious words: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God…” 2 Tim. 3:16. Especially notice the word “inspiration” in this verse, for this word is a powerhouse when you really understand what it means! It comes from the Greek word theopneustos The word theopneustos—or “inspiration”—is the picture of God breathing or emitting His own substance into something. Just as a musician would blow on an instrument to produce a distinct sound, God mightily moved on those who wrote the Scriptures, and they temporarily became the instrument through whom God expressed His heart and will. If you will pay more attention to studying and obeying God’s breathed word , you will generate God’s kind of results and produce power beyond imagination.

DECLARATION:
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of life. I confess that I have determined to read and meditate on the Word of God on a regular basis. The power of the Word works mightily inside me because I take it deeply into my heart. It transforms my thinking, renews my vision, forces darkness out of my mind, and blows like a mighty force into every part of my life. There is nothing stronger at my disposal than God’s Word, so I make it a priority in my life! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!
