God's Word is Quick!
Life is lively and vibrant

By the earth constantly revolving on its own axis, it keeps all in motion within it and upon it. The underground water remains fresh, why? It is in motion! The air on the surface of the earth remains fresh, why? It is in motion!
Sea water, though salty, but yet it has no corruptions, why? It is in motion. Water in a river is fresh, why? It is in motion. The blood in your body is always fresh, why? It is in motion. If you sit motionless for a long time, doing nothing, you grow weary and weak, dying, why?
You has stagnated! Therefore, any religion that is motionless is dead!
As the earth revolves, it gives motion to all fluids upon it. You are lively because the earth keeps in a terrific motion; just at the right critical speed, God's speed! The earth supports living things upon it, why? It is in motion! Whatever stagnates rots and corrupts. Any church which holds on what God spoke in the past, and denies what He is speaking today, has stagnated and is in various stages of rot. Such a church can never support life!
A house the remains unoccupied for a long time, soon crumbles and wastes away. Why? Luck of activity, luck of usefulness, encourages the moth of death!
A machine that is left dormant rusts and decays away! A teacher that stops teaching, and stays dormant loses all his knowledge. An engineer that stops practicing his trade rusts and decays away! A sportsman, who stops practicing, wastes away.
You cannot live on the food that you ate last. Being taught the knowledge of what others ate in the past cannot support your life. You must eat your own food, new and fresh!
So, is God's Word! It is quick. Yes, alive and lively! All is a quick, in a terrific motion!
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Whatever has stagnated, depending motionlessly on what God did 50 years ago, is dead, rusted, rotten and smelly! Life is quick. Life is progressive. Live is full of new activities. Life is not lived by a set of rules pinned on the whole, but is full of new activities, new ventures, new discoveries, new revelations, and that is what gives it taste!
Ephesus 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.
Look at all religious systems; they are dormant and stale, so boring! Why? They hold on a bunch of traditions passed over to them from the dead past, and are as dead as the past! Members of such religions stand in need of the quickening power of Word of God. What is the quickening power of the Word today? The Word spoken by God today!
God ever speaks and brings new things for His people season after season.
Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Isaiah 48:6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
The sun holds the earth in place, sweeping around itself in a particular path, and the earth holds the moon in place, sweeping her around itself in a particular path. Both the earth and the moon are held by the sun, sweeping around the sun in one year. Quite a terrific move.
The servant of God in your day, holds you in place, by the word, and through faith in that word, you are held in place, doing God's will all the time, as the Holy Spirit empowers you.
So, God's Word holds all things together, and by faith in that Word, you are kept in the right path, according to your calling. God never allows stagnation.
God is life, eternal life; He is all quick and lively, allowing no staleness, stagnation or being dormant. Anything stagnant encourages corruption and rotting. Water in a river remains fresh. Why? Because it is in motion! Water in a fountain never corrupts. Why? It is in motion! Water in the sea never corrupts. Why? It is in motion! But stagnant water, in a pool, corrupts, becoming dirt and stinky. Why? It is dormant. Death is still, stagnant, dormant and stale! All stagnant religions, holding on traditions passed to them from past tense generation are as stagnant in a filthy pool somewhere. All that points to what God spoke and did in the past, as they reject what He is presently speaking and doing today, make such pools of water, full of the filthy of spirits like frogs.
But God will never point you to the past! He is I AM, the same yesterday, today and forever. He is ever quick and fresh!
All who deny further revelation of God's Word today have stagnated, and they are gathering all kinds of human filthy in the name of traditions.
The moons of Saturn with its gaseous ring and 13 moons. It revolves about its axis as it rotates around the sun. The sun holds Saturn sweeping it around itself, while Saturn holds the moons, sweeping them arounds herself.
A galaxy revolving around its own axis at a terrific speed un imaginable. It has a black hole at its centre.
Galaxies in motion about some centre point, the greatest black hole with tremendous gravity holds all together in one sway.
A black hole within a Galaxy. Trillions of galaxies make up the whole universe. Each galaxy is motion revolving around some black hole and at the same time rotating around the centre of the whole universe, a centre that holds all the galaxies together.
The whole universe is in motion, revolving about a central core that upholds all in it.
