ACT ON WHAT YOU HEAR

JUNE 16TH – CAPSULE 16

TOPIC: ACT ON WHAT YOU HEAR

BIBLE TEXT: JAMES 1 VS 23 – For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man viewing his natural face in a mirror. [MEV]

The gospel of Christ Jesus is taught all around the world with few doers and more hearers. Apostle James the half brother of Christ Jesus, reveals an action that must come to play in the life of every believer. We need to be doers of the word of God by accepting every word with faith and utilizing them with practical actions. When you act on God’s word you build faith and you receive more from your actions.

A doer of the word of God is a believer with actions in accordance to what they hear God say through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God; either through an audio message, a telecast, a sermon, a broadcast or a teaching session or a testimony. The bible tells us of a certain woman who suffered twelves years of blood loss (haemorrhage) and how she got her healing by acting on what she heard. In Mark 5 vs 25-34 Jesus was heading to Jarius home to heal his daughter and while He moved with the busy crowd, a certain woman believed in her heart, that if she is opportuned to touch the garment of Christ, she would be made whole of the plague affecting her health and life.

She believed all she heard about Jesus, before her encounter with Christ and when she got access to His garment, the action of faith brought about her miracle. Mark 5:34 KJV And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Jesus Christ loves us all and awaits our faithful works to the glory of the Father.

Prayer: Lord I need your grace to be a doer of your word and not a hearer alone.

Insight: When you act on the word of God, you please the Lord.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
