EPISODE 385 – WORKING THE WORD 1

WORKING THE WORD 1

“So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock” 

Matthew 7:24 (Amplified)

The Word of God is God’s constitution of wisdom and His creative material.

You will find in the scriptures that, God founded and made the universe by His wisdom (Proverbs 3:19; Psalm 104:24). And you will find in other places in the scriptures that by the Word of God He formed the universe (Hebrews 11:3).

Now this is not a contradiction at all.

(Remember there is no contradiction in the entire Bible, if a concept seems contradictory, just make time to search through the scriptures patiently. You will find understanding and proper interpretation).

The Wisdom of God is embodied by the articulation of God. God’s Word is the expression of His thought or the articulation of His intent.

Thus, the Word of God is the expression or articulation of the Wisdom of God.

There is nothing God has built without His word.

To know the Word of God is to handle Wisdom.

Everything works by the Word of God.

When one thinks the Word doesn’t work, such a person has not trained himself to be a practitioner of the Word.

When you hear the Word, you must put it to work. The word by itself doesn’t work. The word works on a receptive heart which focuses on acting it.

You must have this understanding, THE WORD OF GOD WORKS!

And that is how God sees His word.

“And as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return no more thither, but soak the earth, and water it, and make it to spring, and give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be, which shall go forth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall do whatsoever I please, and shall prosper in the things for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 (Douay-Rheims Bible)

Any word which proceeds from God has a purpose designed for it. It also has the in-built ability to achieve its destined intent.

When you decide to act it out, it will bring you the results.

The Word of God does not fail.

Though this analogy is limited, it should help you grasp this Wisdom:

Imagine you were stranded in a place and suddenly your good friend parks his car by you, and tells you “Get in, I had a call to pick you up to your destination”.
Will you still be standing there hoping to arrive at your destination?
I don’t think so.

You have to trust your friend, and then get into his car before you will arrive at your destination.

That is how the word works.

No matter the ability of the Word, it will need your decision to respond rightly to it before you will experience the expected results.

You must trust the Word, enough to do what it says.

Don’t assume it doesn’t work.

The results of the Word will manifest when you act it!

Selah!
