The
beginning and end of success is the word of God engrafted in your spirit, soul
and body. God gives and teaches us His divine principles for holy living in His
word, and through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. As we learn, internalize and
abide by these principles stated in His word, they become part and parcel of
us, directing and guiding us, alongside the work of the Holy Spirit in our
lives. That is why the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 119 verse 105 that your word is
a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
The word of God is dynamic and has power to transform
a person on a daily basis. The answer to every challenge is in the word of God
therefore fill your heart with the word of God and meditate on the word of God.
If you hear instructions from God, trial and error will no longer be your
portion in Jesus mighty name. Please see
Romans Chapter 12 verses 1 to 2. Therefore, feed on the word of God and you
have wealth, the hidden riches of darkness stated in Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 1
to 5.
God watches over His word to perform His word and not
out fears, worries and anxieties. At the beginning of the year, I asked God to
help me sell a certain number of copies of my books, quite a large number
determined by the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, I would always check my sales report
to see if I was making that quantity of sales. A number of times, I was worried
because I required the money from book sales to pay my bills. But somehow, God
kept paying my bills even before they were due in addition to giving me material
things that made people think I had so much money. As I reflected on why there
were no sales, the Holy Spirit made me understand that I was looking at the
wrong place, visiting the sales report dashboard. He told me to look at the
word of God, His precious promises to me concerning book sales in large numbers.
He told me that was where I would make the sales as I daily thanked God for His
unfailing Word, meditated on that Word and prophesied the Word over my books. I
then realized why I had not made sales and also why I had not experienced
victories in some other areas. Rather than look at the word of God and
internalize the promises of God and make them real in my life; meditate on them
and prophesy them, I was looking at the circumstances that assailed me which were
really nothing to God. I was foraging on dirt – anxiety, fears, worries,
suspicion when my focus should be on God and His word that does not return to
Him void. I repented before God and asked Him to help me look at His word, and
to believe His word as well as prophesy His word over my life and situation in
Jesus mighty name.
Do not forage in dirt. Look at the Word of God. Please see Romans
Chapter 4 verses 17 to 18, Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 10 to 13, James Chapter 1
verse 25, Hebrews Chapter 11 verses 1 to 3, , 1 verses 1 to 3, Genesis Chapter
1, Psalm 100 verse 4. The truth of
the word of God, His faithful promises are your armor and protection (shield
and buckler) Psalm 91 verse 4b. Mental clarity and alertness comes with daily
illumination by the word of God. It is the word of God that brings the miracle.
Even dead situations respond to the Word of God.
It is also
important that you meditate on the Word of God and pray to God. 2nd
Kings Chapter 1 verses 2 to 4, 17, Isaiah Chapter 38 verses 1 to 5, Jeremiah
Chapter 32 verse 17, and Acts Chapter 17 verses 27 to 29. Believers are
expected to meditate on the word of God so that their hearts and speeches are
ruled by the word of God. What you say also determines your destination. You
can determine the fruit you bear by what you say. This is because the mouth
speaks out of the abundance of the heart. The heart is a factory that processes
the words stored in it. Please see Matthew Chapter 12 verses 33 to 37. What you
say is a reflection of what is in your heart. When you harbor thoughts in your
heart you are manufacturing (I call it processing). If you harbor worry,
anxiety and fears, you will process negativity that will deprive you of the
myriad blessings of God for your life. But if you process the sure promises of
God, you will process a bountiful harvest that you will reap in due
season. The Bible instructs believers to
let their words be seasoned with salt – release your heart to God so that your
words will be seasoned with salt. What keeps a Christian standing is the
knowledge of the word of God a Christian has. That knowledge gives the relevant
understanding and wisdom to keep going with God in spite of negative situations
around the person. Please see Psalm 23, Romans Chapter 8 verse 31. Finally,
though weeping may last a whole night, joy will definitely come in the morning.
Shalom
