Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Deuteronomy 11:18-19
“Therefore you shall lay up these words of Mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
The Word instructs us to ‘lay up’ the Word in our hearts and in our souls by continually speaking the Word… ‘when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.’
To ‘Lay up the Word’ is to plant the Word… when we declare and speak the Word in faith, the seeds of the Word get planted in our inner beings… seeds of healing, provision, miracles and blessings that will germinate, grow, and bear fruit.
Speak and declare the Word by faith… discuss the Word, and reason together about the Word with your family, on the phone, on social media, in person, on the beach and wherever you go – as you do you are laying up the Word in your heart and soul… then as you go through life, eat the fruit of what you have planted.
Scripture calls the Word that is ‘laid up’ in your heart and soul the ‘implanted Word’. (James 1:21)
The implanted Word has the power to save, prosper and bless your soul [mind, will and emotions]. The implanted Word is what prospers your life and the lives of your family members.
Lay up the Word in your heart and soul today by speaking the Word… the Lord watches over the seed of His Word that is planted and laid up in your inner being - the Lord will prosper His Word in the thing for which He sent it – it shall not return to Him void and unfulfilled but it shall accomplish that which He sent it to do! – Selah!
Blessings on you, Nick
