 *THE WORD PRACTITIONER*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  25 November 2023*


SCRIPTURE: But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a Prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which Poured water on the hands of Elijah - *2 Kings 3:11*


The kings of Israel, Judah and Edom came together to battle the king of Moab for his rebellion against the king of Israel.


As the three kings put their host and cattle together for the battle, they faced a crisis of water scarcity for themselves, their armies and the cattles.


Then Jehoshaphat the king of Judah asked according to our Text above, 'Is there no Prophet here that we may enquire from the Lord by him?'


Jehoshaphat wanted to know what the Lord was saying even in a crisis situation, so that they will not fall into error. 


The Bible says, 'ye do err not knowing the Scriptures - *Matthew 22:29*


*It is a great error not to know the Scriptures because we are meant to be Word Practioners.*


God told Joshua, 'this Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate therein day and night that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein" - *Joshua 1:8*


The Word illuminates - *Psalms 119:105*


*As we Practise the Word, we are kept from falling.*


*In addition, through the Practise of the Word, we develop Capacity to ward off all evils.*


A venomous beast hung on Apostle Paul's hands and he shook it off into the fire because he was a Word Practitioner - *Acts 28:4-5*


*The Word practitioner will shake off every evil entanglement without suffering any harm.*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please help me to live by Your Word even in a crisis situation.
