Put the word of God into practice

 Matthew 7:26-27

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

It is not about hearing the words from the bible, the word of God that will make a positive impact on our lives, but what matters is what do we do with the word that we have heard. Do we believe it? Do we doubt it? That's what will determine if we are building or the news just come in, in one ear and out the other. God wants us to internalize what He says, believe and accept it for ourselves and that will bring about alignment in our lives. If we hear the word, accept and declare it upon our lives, it shall be. That will be like building a strong foundation for ourselves, that is unshakable...When the storms of life hit, we will remember what God said first. For example, the bible tells us that by the stripes Jesus endured on the cross, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), also that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). When sickness hit, a person who received and believed the word of God, will stand firm on those words, they will be comforted knowing that the weapon might form (sickness) but it shall not prosper; the healing is already guaranteed. In that case, one will be standing on a strong foundation and unshakable on their faith. But the opposite is true, if the words came and pass, it will be like they've built their house on sand...

May we never take for granted the word of God, God is true and dependable. What He says will not return void. We need to believe the word for ourselves, receive it and proclaim it over our lives. That is part of building a strong foundation.

When you read the bible, you will hear many times God saying do not be anxious, afraid or discouraged. This is possible if you know who you are, whose you are what the promises of God are for you.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
