accept also what God says about sin, this way you will be able to stand. Because the bible talks

about every situation, it becomes very important that God would have given you the relevant
scriptures. Why will God write to us on so many things, 66 books? Why will He divide His

books into the gospel, epistle, prophet, law? Why did He give us that systematic understanding?
The answer lies in the fact that he wants us to learn them. There are two ways to do well in life.

You can do well by being tricky or being dishonest carnally. Remember that is temporal. But you

can also do well by knowing the Word of God and applying them to situations and believe whole
heartedly that they are meant for you and they are going to work. You have an option of choosing

which one you want. I would rather you choose to believe the Word of God rather than believe
the words of devil.

EXPERIMENTING WITH THE POWER OF CHRIST

TEXT: Rom. 1:20, Col. 1:6-7, Heb. 1:3a, Neh. 9:6, Isa. 44:24

and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all;
and the host of heaven worshippeth thee (Neh. 9:6).

Every believer like you should be able to operate and establish the truth of the bible. It all

begins by the fact that you have experienced certain aspects of the Word of God. For example,
you experienced being born again. That is the beginning of the journey. Then, you probably had

the sanctification experience (Rom. 6:6-8). You also, have experienced perhaps the baptism of
the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). These three foundational principles can guide you in the further

experimentation with the Word of God. An experiment is an operation you carry out to establish
the principles of a truth. You relate some trials, you test, you analyze, you examine and along the
