THE WORD OF GOD 

THE WORD OF GOD: THE LIFE & LIVING GRACE OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING! 

“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” Matthew 4:4 [Luke 4:4]. 

Man is a spirit-being. 
He has a soul — the subconscious of the will, emotion, intellect, and faculty of reasoning — and he lives in a body made of dust, clay and sand. 

There is the need to FEED the man in your human, for that man in your human is your spirit. 
Meaning, you ARE a spirit-being, you HAVE a soul, and you LIVE in a body. 

Your definition is in your spirit-being because it is eternal. 
It gives life and living to your soul and body, and connects your whole being to the heavenly, so that you may have a life and a living that is godly and divinely linked. 

Therefore, synchronise your whole — total, complete — being as a spirit, in order to energise and synergise your soul and body by THE WORD of God, for your now, today and tomorrow in the grace. 

Be blessed as you listen to the various exhortation snapshots that are enclosed in this post for your perusal.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For THE WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13. 

“And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY [TOTALLY, COMPLETELY]; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” Genesis 2:7. 

“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding” Job 32:8. 

“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life” Job 33:4. 

“The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a WOUNDED spirit who can bear?” Proverbs 18:14. 

“A MERRY heart [human spirit] doeth good like a medicine: but a BROKEN spirit [human spirit] drieth the bones” Proverbs 17:22 Emphasis Mine. 

“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. 4 In him was life; and THE LIFE was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made FLESH [[HUMAN], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14/Emphasis Mine. 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

SUMMARY: 
This message centres on the truth that man’s primary need is spiritual nourishment. It teaches that because man is fundamentally a spirit-being, his life, strength and definition come from THE WORD of God, not just from physical things. 

KEY POINTS: 

1. THE FOUNDATIONAL TRUTH:MANLIVES BY THE WORD 

“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” Matthew 4:4  
Jesus establishes that physical bread sustains the body, but the spirit-man is sustained by every Word from God. Spiritual feeding is not optional, it is essential for life. 

2. THE COMPOSITION OF MAN: SPIRIT,SOULAND BODY 

Man is a spirit-being. 
He HAS a soul — the subconscious of the will, emotion, intellect, and faculty of reasoning — and he LIVES in a body made of dust, clay and sand. 
Meaning, you ARE a spirit-being, you HAVE a soul, and you LIVE in a body. 
Your true definition and identity is in your eternal spirit-being. It is the spirit that gives life to your soul and body, and connects your whole being to the heavenly realm so that your life can be godly and divinely linked. 

Genesis 2:7 — “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” 
This shows the origin: body from dust, spirit from God’s breath, resulting in a living soul. 

Job 32:8 — “But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.” 
Job 33:4 — “The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.” 
The human spirit is the part that receives divine inspiration, understanding and life.  

3. THE CONDITION OF THE SPIRIT AFFECTSTHE WHOLE MAN

The state of your spirit directly impacts your soul and body. 
Proverbs 18:14 — “The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a WOUNDED spirit who can bear?” 
Proverbs 17:22 — “A MERRY heart [human spirit] doeth good like a medicine: but a BROKEN spirit [human spirit] drieth the bones.” 
A strong, healthy spirit sustains you. A wounded or broken spirit weakens the entire person. Hence the urgent need to feed and strengthen the spirit. 

4. HOW THE SPIRIT IS FED AND SYNCHRONISED: BYTHE WORD

Therefore, you must synchronise your whole — total, complete — being as a spirit, in order to energise and synergise your soul and body by THE WORD of God, for your now, today and tomorrow in the grace. 

Hebrews 4:12-13 — “For THE WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” 
The Word feeds the spirit, separates soul from spirit, and brings clarity to the inner man. 

1 Thessalonians 5:23 — “And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY [TOTALLY, COMPLETELY]; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 
God’s desire is for your entire being — spirit, soul and body — to be sanctified and preserved. This happens as you are fed by the Word.  

5. THE WORDIS PERSONAL: CHRIST HIMSELF 

John 1:1-5, 14 — “In the beginning was THE WORD, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD was God… In him was life; and THE LIFE was the light of men… And THE WORD was made FLESH [HUMAN] and dwelt among us…” 
1 John 5:7 — “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” 
To feed on THE WORD is to feed on Christ. The Word is not just text; it is the living Person who gives life and light. 

In one sentence: 
Because you are a spirit-being living in a body, your true life and strength comes from feeding your spirit with THE WORD of God, so that your whole being is energised, sanctified and divinely linked.
