Topic: The blessing
Text: Luke 11:28
[28]Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.”
MESSAGE FOR THE DAY: The blessing in God's word is not in preaching it or memorizing it. The blessing in God's word is in practicing it. Our text says more blessed are all who hear the word of God and practices it. Do the word you read, do the word you hear, do the word you preach. The word works only for those who put it to work. Many believers are limited not for the absence of sound teaching but for the nonchalancy of practice. They hear good messages but refuse to practice it. NOthing will change in your life if you do nothing about the word of God. Scriptures says faith without work is dead. This is the reason why some have testimonies while others do not. The profit of the word meets you at the point of obedience to it.
Faith is not just a confession. It is also an action. The word of God is as powerful to you as your application of faith. If you doubt the word, result may be far from you. Scriptures says the word did not profit them not being mixed with faith. Your faith is the key to your change. Jesus said to the woman with the issue of blood, your faith has made you whole. Jesus met a blind man, missed mud and saliva and added to his blind eyes and told him to go and wash in the pool of Siloam, how he will get there was no one's consideration but because he acted on the word, change came.
THINGS YOU NEED TO DO;
The word will not profit you if you only read it to argue doctrines. The blessing is in doing the word. Do the word you know, do the word you hear, do the word you preach. Until the word comes alive in you, it may not bring profit to you.
Prayer:
Father, thank you for grace. Help us become practitioners of the word not just hearers only. Let the word come alive in us in Jesus precious Name.
