RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **Trust... Believe... And Act On The Word** Wednesday 17th August . Pastor Chris
So, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts... (Hebrews 3:7- 8 NIV).
When God’s Word comes to you, the first and important thing to do is to
accept it. This may sound too simple for some people, but the things
about God are so simple; He’s never complicated. If He were to come to
us in His complexity, no one will even be saved. He’d remain a mystery.
So, accept Him in His simplicity, and accept all that He’s done for you.
That’s what it takes.
He’s called you to fellowship; accept it.
He’s given you eternal life; accept it. He’s made you righteous,
strong, vibrant, healthy, prosperous and influential; accept it! If you
don’t accept what He’s done for you, given you, and made you—and live
accordingly—you’ll be a victim in life. There’re people who say, “If God
is real, let Him do something about my situation.” He already did; so
stop waiting. Find out what the Word says about that situation; accept
it, and live accordingly.
Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto
salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the
Greek.” The Gospel of Christ is a message that works only for the one
who believes. If you don’t believe it, it won’t work, even though it’s
the power of God. Believe and accept that God has blessed you. He’s not
planning to do it, He’s done it already: “Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3).
Even
now, if there’s a situation in your life that you want changed, you can
receive a miracle by saying “Yes” to the Word! Quit thinking, “Is there
hope for me?” Yes. Christ is your hope. His Word is the answer. There
have been many like you who were in similar situations and had a
transformation. If the Word could produce results for them, it’ll do the
same for you. Trust the Word. Believe the Word. Act on the Word.
CONFESSION
I delight in the Word of God, for it’s perfect; enriching and
beautifying my life. The glorious life is mine as I acknowledge and
receive every good thing that I have in Christ Jesus, walking in the
light and reality of who I am in Christ. Righteousness, joy, peace,
prosperity, health and strength are mine, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: || Philemon 1:6 That the communication of thy faith may
become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in
you in Christ Jesus. ||
|| 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of
faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and
hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. ||
|| James
1:22-25 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,
he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he
beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what
manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of
liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a
doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ||
