KEY SCRIPTURE: Mar 4:24 KJV” And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.”
In this last part of our discussion on how to keep the word in our hearts, we look at another vital point to get God’s word fully established in our hearts. We know that for any seed to get to the fruition stage, it must remain in the soil all the way through. We have also learnt that it is the presence of God’s word in our hearts that grows to become the miracle we may be expecting. Please note that the word in you is called believe. The word acted upon is called faith.
One way to act on the word is to speak it out of our mouths. Jos 1:8 KJV” This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success”. The Lord told Joshua that to be successful through the word, he must keep muttering the word. He says, do it day and night. What this action does is that you first establish God’s word further in the heart. Secondly, by saying it, your faith is stirred. Please be informed that, when the negative condition seems to be aggravated, do not change the words in your mouth. The moment you utter any other contrary word, you have instantly uprooted whatever you have planted over the period. You would have to start all over again. Be disciplined to keep God’s word in your heart.
The word of God teaches that what we believe, coupled with speaking accordingly, is that which works the miracle. Rom 10:10 KJV” For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Dear one, prepare your heart to trust fully in God’s faithfulness. Then make sure that you never stop saying what the word says, which you have believed. As you say it, act according to what the word says. The Lord assured us that if we diligently do this, our miracle would never elude us. Please, go through the earlier two studies and meticulously practice all that has been taught, if there is a condition in your life you wish to change through God’s word.
CONFESSION
I keep God’s word in my mouth, speaking it day and night. God is true to His word, and constantly watches over His word to perform it, for His word is alive and powerful, sharper than any double-edged sword, and cuts into the division of soul and spirit. All things are subject to His word.
