Stay In The Word
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and
doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like
a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid
the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the
stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not
shake it: for it was founded upon a rock (Luke 6:47-48).
A dear minister of the Gospel once asked me, “How
come some ministers serve God for so many years
and then somehow end badly? How can we get to finish
gloriously and not fail?” My response was to refer him to the
words of Jesus in our theme scripture. If we pay attention to
His Word, we’ll always win. He told us to hear and live by His
Word.
Preaching the Word and living the Word are two
different things. Just because you’re preaching it doesn’t
mean it’s working in your life; you must live the Word. The
Word of God is the answer to every question and the solution
to every problem. That’s why we share and teach the Word,
to help God’s people understand the Word and live the
Word.
The Apostle Paul was very successful as a minister of
the Gospel. At the end, he declared, “I have fought a good
fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith...” (2
Timothy 4:7). He proved and lived the Word for himself. In
Acts 20:32, he acknowledged and reiterated the efficacy of
God’s Word, in his parting remarks to the brethren in the
church at Ephesus. It’s about staying in the Word.
God has already given you everything you could ever
need in your life. He’s given you righteousness, health,success, peace, prosperity, joy, victory, and all things in Christ
Jesus. Seize them and make them yours. Don’t try to get
“anything” from God; you already have all things that pertain
to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).
Therefore, every so often, declare, “I’m the
righteousness of God in Christ. I have the life of God in
me. I’m a success. I walk in health, prosperity, peace, and
joy!” Your confession of the Word manifests realities. Stay
in the Word, and your success in life and ministry shall be
guaranteed for all time. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
My life is renewed and refreshed
as I stay on the Word through
meditation. My path is flooded
with light, and I walk in
righteousness, prosperity, health,
success and victory at all times.
The lines are indeed fallen unto
me in pleasant places and I have
a goodly heritage. Glory to God!
