PRACTICE
THE WORD OF GOD
Josh 1:7 …,
that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you.
Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper
wherever you go.
James 1:22
But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it,
betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].
It is not enough for you to be a
hearer. We need to be doers as well. After meditating on the Word you need to take action. Practice makes perfect. The Word of God is never perfected in your life if you fail to take action. Acting on the Word is the next step to develop your heart. The Supposing you wish to build more body muscles.
You may decide to purchase a book on body building. Learning the book alone
would not build your muscles. You need to do what you learn in the book. You
need to take the exercises and tutorials seriously. You would be required to
practice aerobic, endurance and flexible exercises. the coach would also advice
you to be consistent in your exercises. The principle above also applies to
spiritual muscle building. After reading the Word, do it. Act on the Word. The
Bible contains revelations, promises and commandments. You accept the revelations
and walk in them. You receive the promises by fulfilling their conditions. As
for the commands, you obey. The Bible says by His stripes you were healed.
Believe this revelation and begin to thank God for healing. Do not allow the
devil to impose diseases on you. Resist him firmly. The Bible says we should
cast all our cares on God for He cares for us. This means after praying to God
about your worries never complain to anyone. I am not saying don’t seek godly
counsel. What I am saying is that never talk doubt and unbelief. Don’t talk
like your troubles will swallow you. Do not be like the ten scouts who said
they looked like grass hopers before their enemies in the promise land. Because
they said that they died never possessing the promise land. Be like Joshua and
Caleb. Declare that you can face any mountain because, God, the source of your
strength is with you. Another area most of us fail is walking in love. Bible
says the Holy Spirit gives us love in our hearts. We already have the energy of
love in us. Bible also commands us to love all men. Instead of doing the word,
we complain we cannot love some people. Instead of allowing God to love through
us, we walk in unforgiveness, bitterness and hold grudges against people. We
make God a liar when we have the Word in us but fail to walk in the light of
it. Practice the word by first asking yourself what the Bible says about your situation. Put the Bible first in your
life. Before you take decisions allow the Word to guide you. The Word can make
you a winner in all issues of life. Dear Ladies, do not marry that gentleman
because of what you feel about him. Critically analyse him in the light of
God’s word. Even in business, you can always profit if the Word is the king in
you.
