Getting the Word of God to work for you

In my life experience as a Christian, I have always taken time to do some introspection, and one of those areas that I have had to reflect on over and over, is why it seems like the word of God isn’t working for some believers. If you have also ever wondered whether the word really works or not, then I encourage you to read through the entire piece.

To begin with, we know that the scripture says that the word of God has been tried and it never fails (Ps.12:6), so you must first come to terms with the truth that it isn’t the word that is under trial, but you; it is your faith in the word that is being tried, to see if it comes out as gold. This is a very important shift to make if you are desirous of getting the word to work for you. Settle first in your heart that the word of God cannot fail, if it doesn’t work for you as expected, the challenge could never be with the word. Again, once you have this in the right perspective, you have already made a significant leap in the process of getting the word to work for you.

That said, perhaps the most important thing you can ever do to get the word to work for you is to simply act on it. I have thoughtfully observed that many believers for whom it seems that the word of God isn’t working are lacking in their ability to act on the word. I have not expressly said that this is the case with everyone, because there could be some peculiarities, but largely this is the case. Let me say here that regardless of how much on the word you study and know, if you will not act on the word, it will not produce results for you. It means therefore that you should not be as bothered about gaining more knowledge of the word as you should be about acting on the knowledge of the word of God that you already have. This singular decision of acting on the word will make the most significant difference in your life, and on your journey to fulfilling destiny. But it takes courage to act on the word always, because there will be many times that you will have to act against every sense of reason.

The difference many times between two similar situations in which one turns out into a testimony, and the other doesn’t is in the fact that where there was a testimony, someone chose to deliberately act on the word regardless of how hopeless the situation appeared.

If you want the word of God to produce results in your life, the starting point is to make that conscious decision to begin to act on the word. I make no assurances that you will figure out everything all at once, or that choosing to act on the word will always come easy, like I said it will often take courage, but if you follow that path, you can be assured of victory. As you trust God’s word enough to act on it, God’s word will also trust you enough to begin to produce results in your life.

Make that shift today, every result producing believer has had to do same at some point.

Your decision is to accept responsibility for getting the word to work for you by acting on it.

This is where victory lies for every believer.

Shalom!
