YIELD YOURSELF TO THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD

YIELD YOURSELF TO THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all {1 Timothy 4:15}. The Word of God has a ministry in our lives, and it’s important that we recognize this and yield ourselves to it. More that ever before, especially in these last days, we should crave the Word with rapacious appetite. The reason for this is that your promotion, success, health, increase and greatness in life are all in the Word. Therefore yield to the ministry of the Word today; open your heart and mind to receive God’s Word and meditate on it like never before. Our opening scripture admonishes that you meditate on the Word and give yourself wholly-completely-to the ministry of the Word! Yield to it let the Word have power in your life. When you hear the Word, yield yourself to it. What is it to yield? It means not to resist or contend; to submit, succumb, give way or under; to give place or precedence to something or someone. For example, imagine that someone said to you “Stand up,” without him carrying you up. All you heard was a voice. You can decide whether or not to get up. If you don’t get up, you’ve resisted the instruction. But when you choose to get up, you’ve yielded yourself; you’ve succumbed, submitted, or given place and precedence to that instruction. And because you’ve yielded to that instruction you’ll enjoy the benefits of that instruction. So when God says “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all,” He means your furtherance, progress, advancement and prosperity will appear unto all as you yield to the Word. The Greek word translated “appear” above is “phaneros” and it means to spread abroad. Thus, your advancement, furtherance, progress, and prosperity will spread abroad, and become widely and openly known as you yield yourself to the Word. This is very important. If you’ll yield yourself-submit, give way, precedence and preeminence to God’s Word in your life, the Word will propel your advancement. Everyone will see that you’re making tremendous progress in everything area of your life. It’s the ministry Word to make this happen for you.
