FAMINE OF THE WORD
Matthew 4:1–4 – “Jesus answered, ‘It is written: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”’ (NIV)
Read: Ephesians 6:16–17
Where there is a famine of God’s Word, destruction is imminent because the Word of God is life and food for the soul. In today’s Bible reading, when Satan confronted Jesus, the response he got revealed that the scriptures are not ordinary letters but daily bread for believers. Without the Word, people become weak and vulnerable to the kingdom of darkness.
The famine of God’s Word also leads to ignorance. In this complex world, ignorance prevents people from gaining understanding and living the truth. Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” The absence of God’s knowledge gives room for confusion and a lack of standards. For example, the increasing abominations in countries today are a result of institutions neglecting divine instructions.
However, the good news is that there is a solution, which is found in the words of Jesus: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Every person, family, Church, and nation must return to intentionally living by what God says. God’s Word is genuine and accessible. People who use the Word as a guiding light will enjoy spiritual and physical prosperity. I encourage you to study the Bible daily, pray fervently, and pay close attention to the Holy Spirit. You will never lack the Word.
