on His wonderful promises found in His Word!
MEDITATE THE BIBLE WAY
“So how do I ‘meditate’ on God’s Word, Pastor Prince?”
That’s another good question to ask and I’ll gladly answer
it here.
Many believers think that meditating on God’s Word
is simply about pondering on or mulling over Bible
scriptures. In other words, you take a scripture that
speaks to you, memorize it, and then think on it. That’s
certainly a good practice to have, but it’s not really Bible
meditation. Why? Because Bible meditation also involves
MUTTERING God’s Word.
If you look at the word “meditates” in Psalm 1:2, it is the
Hebrew word hagah, which means to utter or mutter, to
speak to oneself in a low voice, as is often done by those
who are musing. So as you muse on God’s Word, you
also mutter it or speak it under your breath. That’s true
Bible meditation.
Let me give you a practical example to help you
understand what I’m saying.
Suppose you are going through financial lack. Open
your Bible and choose a provision promise like Psalm
23:1—“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Start chewing on it and muttering it under your breath
throughout the day. Bring up the verse in the day when
you are waiting in line or sitting in traffic. Ponder it and
mutter it to yourself: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall
not want… This means that I shall not lack any good
thing. I will not lack provision. Why? Because the Lord
Himself is right now my shepherd. And as my shepherd,
He is taking good care of me.”
Bring it up again when you may be sleepless in bed at
night because your heart is burdened with cares. Day
and night, night and day, let God’s Word nourish and
strengthen you. Let it drive out your fears and anxieties,
and impart His wisdom and favor to you.
Again, don’t just mull over the verse. Mutter it. Open
your mouth and speak His Word over yourself and your
situation day and night. That’s how you hold on to His
promises in faith and experience His blessings!
FROM UNEMPLOYED TO ASSISTANT
VICE-PRESIDENT
A precious brother in our congregation had been looking
for a job for about 10 months. He only had a high school
education certificate and a few years of experience in the
kind of work he was looking for. Despite having gone for
more than 10 interviews, he wasn’t offered a single job.
In fact, in one of the interviews, he was even ridiculed
for having only high school education. At a few other
interviews, he was asked to accept a huge pay cut in
return for an opportunity to prove himself. Although he
agreed to it, he wasn’t offered any position.
Needless to say, this brother got discouraged. He also
blamed himself for having only high school education.
And fearful of being mocked by others, he isolated
himself and became a recluse. He was on the verge of
giving up all hope when he chanced upon one of my
sermon video clips on the Internet.
In this sermon, I encouraged believers to speak God’s
Word over their situation. As he listened, he felt like
the Lord was telling him not to give up, and he kept
watching the clip over and over again. With rising faith,
he began listening to more of my sermons. In another
sermon, he heard me teach that when we meditate on and
speak God’s Word, we are speaking the truth and His
Word will become real in our lives. From then on, he just
kept believing and speaking (or muttering) God’s Word
over his situation. He kept believing and proclaiming that
he had already received the Lord’s unmerited favor and
guidance.
Let me share with you his own words on the fruits of his
meditating on God’s Word:
I felt overwhelming peace entering my body,
mind and soul. For the first time in my life, I felt
indescribable peace and assurance that Jesus heard my
prayers and that He has a plan for me.
Within two weeks, miracles started to happen. I
received a call from a headhunter informing me of
an interview for a managerial position. Prior to the
