“But be ye DOERS of the word, and not HEARERS only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a HEARER of the WORD, and not a DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 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” James 1:22-25.
What is this life? How much is your life worth to you? Have you ever thought of not waking up to see your desired dream and aspirations materialise under your watch?
Have you ever paused and given a thought to your life that there’s no amount of money that can buy your today? I mean, that you slept and woke up into a New day that God has made for you to rejoice and be glad in it – and that it’s a gifted Day, at no charge or cost which many didn’t wake up to see – and their dreams and aspirations are no more to be executed as they thought about it previously. Do you know that no amount of money and wealth can justify your life and your day outside God’s providence? And your day in God is BLESSED because of God’s essence in upholding His bargain in His word of promise to you and I? Have you taken time today to make a word discovery of your today for your recovery in today and tomorrow? SELAH- PAUSE AND THINK!
“This is the DAY the Lord has MADE; We will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24) NKJV.
“Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? It is even a VAPOR that APPEARS for a LITTLE TIME and then VANISHES away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” James :13-17/NKJV.
“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and boast themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 NONE OF THEM can by any means REDEEM his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 8 (for the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption” Psalms 49:6-9.
That’s why I am asking you – Are You Doing The WORD Today? Are you a WORD DOER? Know full well that – to be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED to – THRIVE, SUCCEED, BECOME, ACHIEVE and FULFIL. It’s not how much eloquently you can talk that changes your world and the worlds about you, but how much you can DO to bring about the DIFFERENCE in you and others by the WORD.
The scriptures of James 1:22-25 indicates that only the DOERS of what they HEAR of the WORD are BLESSED in their deeds. This is how Jesus in humanity exemplifies it in life and ministry. He will DO then TEACH, or TEACH then DO. He knows the effectual power of DOING to exemplify what he’s about to talk and the efficacy of DOING what He has talked about.
“. . . Jesus began both to DO and TEACH, 2 until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 to whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God” Acts 1:1-3.
It’s time to step into your worlds with the intent to be a DOER of the WORD of God in order to have the enabling to BECOME in LIFE and GODLINESS – 2 Peter 1:2-4. DOING the WORD would create the atmosphere you want to see and enjoy. Jesus DID, He had it. You can also make your worlds a better place today.
Be A DOER Of The WORD – You Will Be BLESSED Indeed.
BE BLESSED AS YOU PONDER OVER IT.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
