Continue In The Word

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…… (Josh.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)

In this kingdom that God has called you and I into as heads of our families and spiritual authority over our flocks, it is the word of God that gives value to our office. It is the word of God that you can trade with that can bring you profit. Furthermore, it is what you ask God to do for you on the basis of His word that He will do for you. Very importantly, are you still holding unto the word of God even when the circumstances and situations are contrary to what you expect? This is why James 1:25 comes to bear. 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 WORD, this man shall be blessed in his deeds. It is not enough for you to continue to hold onto the word, you must be an active doer of the word. You cannot claim to love your wife and children if you do not express it. The proof of your faithfulness to your wife and children is in the things you say and do-works. Your life must agree with the word.

However, for you to continue to delight in doing the word of God, you must exercise faith both in the word and the Speaker of the word, Jesus.  Secondly you must also celebrate the word above the unpleasant circumstances. What you exalt is what you serve. 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 embrace the blessedness of the word of God, you shall become blessed in the works of your hands (Jas.1:25). You shall also be fat and flourishing. Thirdly, you shall be fruitful in your old age. And finally, your wife and children shall come under open heaven’s blessings. The word of God is the life of God. Hold it, practice and run with it day and night.
