ACTING ON THE WORD

God’s Word has integrity and therefore cannot fail. Whatever He says is the truth, nothing but the truth—and you can bet your life on it. The Lord Jesus had just used Peter’s boat, and when He was done, He instructed him to cast his net into the sea. Peter and his crew had toiled fruitlessly all night trying to catch fish; so he said to Jesus, “Sir…we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing Luke 5:5 TLB  But thank God Peter didn’t stop there; he continued, “…but if you say so, we’ll try again.” Peter acted because the Master said so, and the result was a harvest so great that he needed partners to help him with the multitude of fishes to shore Luke5:6-7. Acting on the Word activates the power of God!

Oftentimes, people have no doubts as to the power of God being able to deliver, but what they lack is how to activate that power and take advantage of it in their personal lives. Some will say, “I know what the Word of God says, BUT…!” That’s their problem; there’re no “ifs” and “buts” when it comes to the Word; just act on it! When you do, the Lord will confirm it with His power, and there’ll be divine results.

Recall when the Lord Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding ceremony in Cana of Galilee. Before the miracle, Mary had said to the servants, “Do whatsoever He tells you to do” John 2:5 That’s the secret. The Master then instructed the servants to fill the water pots; that didn’t make sense, but they acted on the instruction nonetheless. It was the best wine they ever tasted John 2:1-10

There’s always a testimony for the one who acts on the Word. Always speak and act in consonance with the Word, and God’s power will enable you to lay hold on the results that you desire.

Prayer: O Lord, help me to live my life always on your Word
