CONTINUE IN THE WORD, ACT ON THE WORD

Spread the love

Main Scriptures: Jas.1:25

More Scriptures: Eph.1:18, Jn.14:26, Rom.2:7

The entrance of thy words giveth light, it giveth understanding to the simple. Order my steps in thy word and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Thy word is very pure, therefore thy servant loveth it. (Ps.119:130, 133, 140)

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt meditate therein day and night…… (Jos.1:8)

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law doth he meditate day and night (Ps.1:1-2)

The word of God is what gives value to your leadership role as the head of your family and spiritual authority over your sheepfold. The word of God is not just only what you can trade with to bring you profit, it is the anchor on which today and tomorrow lie. It is your assurance for a great journey as the good and godly man, husband and father. Interestingly, whatever you ask God on the basis of His word, He will do it for you. So, the question I want to ask you is this. Are you still holding unto God’s word? Do you still believe that God’s word will help you become a successful, prosperous, joyous and happy husbandman? Let us consider the Scripture in James chapter 1 and verse 25. It says, 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 (Jas.1:25). You must continue in the word of God and act on it with joy and in faith. You cannot claim to love your wife and children if you do not express it (Jn.3:16). The proof of your headship as the godly husbandman is in your works. Your life must agree with the word of God.

However, if you must continue to delight in the word of God and act on it, you must exercise faith both in God and His words (Heb.11:1,6). Secondly, you must also celebrate God’s word above the unpleasant circumstances in and around you. What you serve is what you exalt. If you celebrate the faithfulness of God over and above the unfaithfulness of your wife and children, you are bound to abound unto good works. Thirdly, you must consciously engage the help of the Holy Spirit for revelation and insight (Eph.1:18, Jn.14:26). And as you continue in and act on the word of God, the blessings of God come upon you and you become a true reflection of the good and godly man, husband and father to your wife and children. The word of God is the life of God. Hold onto it; meditate on it day and night; let it not depart from your heart; practice and run with it day and night.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

  • Father, in the Name of Jesus, let Your word continue to take precedence over all my decisions and plans.
  • Father, in the Name of Jesus, make Your word to gain root in my heart and bear fruits in my life.
  • Father, in the Name of Jesus, establish Your plan for my life, wife and children by Your word.

FAITH CONFESSION   

I continue in the word of God and I act on it delightfully because that is what builds me up as the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
