DON’T BE A HEARER ONLY, BE A DOER 1
“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.â€
James 1:25
Main Text:
As a parent, I have given so many instructions to my children at home. What gets at me most times is when they refuse to do or carry out my instructions. To be sincere, I got a rapt attention whenever I speak to them but quite shocking to see that there is no corresponding action to show they obeyed. Beloved, you have heard times without number that it’s not the hearers of the word of God that will be blessed but the doers. Doing the word comes with correct application of the written and spoken word to address all issues of your life and destiny. The effect of God’s word cannot be overemphasized and this only relates to those who care to meditate and do.
Just imagine if as a man I got annoyed that my own children fail to carry out my words, how much more God! The fact that God is merciful makes a great difference and that is why God’s anger can never be eternal for He is always waiting for us to come unto repentance. Learn to be a doer, not just hearing will show you believe His Word but when you apply it.
Jesus is the word of God. That’s why He’s applicable to all areas in our lives. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1.
Hearing the doctor talks cannot do anything to the smallest sickness like headache UNLESS you ACT fast on instructions. How many times have acted on the Word of God? What is the Lord saying concerning your life in 2019? How prepared are you to take His Kingdom in come 2019?
The volume of the Word you act on will deliver you all the way.
Prayer: O Lord, help me to dig deeper into your word that I may behold wondrous things out of your commands.
