TOPIC: Become Addicted To The Word Of God (TREM Devotional 17 November 2025)
“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” – Proverbs 4:20–23 (KJV)
MESSAGE
The wise man, inspired by the Spirit of God, admonishes us to give attention to the Word. God wants us to become so immersed in His Word that it becomes our way of life. The Word should not be something we visit occasionally, it must become our daily obsession.
When we talk about addiction, we refer to something that completely grips a person, a habit or practice one cannot do without. An addicted person always craves the substance of their addiction; they are hooked. That’s how God wants us to relate to His Word, to be hooked on it!
Why should we be addicted to the Word?
The Word has no margin for error: The Word of God is flawless, potent, and precise. It never fails. Everything that exists came into being by the power of the Word. “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” (John 1:3). When God speaks, His Word produces exactly what He says.
The Word is Spirit and gives life: Jesus said, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63). The Word operates in the spirit realm, the realm that governs the natural. When you are full of the Word, you are full of life, energy, and divine vitality.
The Word is settled forever: The Word of God cannot be altered, rigged, or violated. It is eternally established. “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” (Psalm 119:89). That means no circumstance, no demon, and no system of man can overturn what God has declared.
Beloved, build an addiction for the Word. Crave it daily. Feed on it until it consumes your thoughts, your speech, and your actions. The more you stay in the Word, the more the Word shapes your world.
