The Holy Spirit Who illuminates particular Scriptures for application Inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, forĬorrection, for instruction in righteousness” (II Timothy 3:16). Verse or portion of Scripture that the Holy Spirit brings to ourĪttention with application to a current situation or need forĮvery word of God is inspired, and “all scripture is given by Refers to a word that is spoken and means “an utterance.” A rhema is a The second primary Greek word that describes Scripture is rhema, which Which liveth and abideth forever” (I Peter 1:23).
“Study to show thyself approved unto God,Ī workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word.“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with.The following passages of Scripture give examples of the logos of God: Principally to the total inspired Word of God and to Jesus, Who is the There are two primary Greek words that describe Scripture which are I receive it and I run with it in Jesus name.I think the following explains it pretty good.
You have said you will bless me and make me a blessing. I thank you father because you have said about me in your word, that you will make me a great nation, and make my name great. When the word becomes personalized, it becomes your RHEMA. So, if you have the logos, turn it into your RHEMA, and begin to enjoy the impact of the word in your life. Remember, the word of God is your personal mirror, it shows you who you are and what God is saying about you. So, choose this day to get the Rhema word, don’t stop at the logos. Even when things seem not to go the way you wanted them to go, you don’t get troubled, because you are running with the Rhema word of God, not the logos. It drives us and increases our faith, it becomes what we run with and takes us to a place of no limits. God’s written words (logos) are to be personalized, and when they are personalized, they become potent in our lives. Here is an example, “and God said to me, that he will make me a great nation, he will bless me and make my name great and I am a blessing.” Did you see that? It’s still the same word, but now it’s my RHEMA because I am applying it to myself, not to the person God was speaking to. But when the word becomes a now-word when the word becomes personalized, then it has become your RHEMA, and God’s spoken word for you. These words are lifted from the Bible, and if we say it just the way it is, we are echoing exactly what God has said, which is good but it can’t do much in our lives because we haven’t yet understood or personalized it. An example would be, “and God said to Abraham, “I will make you a great nation I will bless you and make your name great and you shall be a blessing.” Genesis 12:2. It’s possible to say the written words with our mouth and not gain anything. When the word of God is yet to be personalized, it remains logos, just as it’s written, and probably not well understood. So, what do we do with God’s written word, someone may ask? The word of God was given to us for our use and in using the word of God, it means there is always a need to personalize the word and apply it to our daily lives or circumstances. We can also say that RHEMA is what we do with the logos or the written word of God.
While “Rhema” means the spoken word of God or the “now word”. Firstly, we have two words to look at here “Logos”, which means the imprint, or the word of God written in pages or the compiled word. The question is what does the word RHEMA, really mean? Well, in today’s article we are going to take out time to understand what RHEMA truly means. But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and wisdom of God…” -1 Corinthian 1:22-24 (NKJV)Īgain, and again, we see in the daily devotional a heading for “TODAY’S RHEMA”. But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and Greek’s foolishness. “…for the Jews request a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom.
