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.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

FELLOWSHIP

Date 📅 24th November, 2022 Topic Fellowship (koinonia) Living Scripture Matthew 18:20 KJV For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Wherever believers are gathered in the name of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, there the Lord comes to fellowship. In heaven the celestials cease not to give due worship to God and the LAMB of God, it's a constant tradition of divine communion and fellowship. It is not every gathering that men calls Jesus Christ that he attends, the scripture states that these candidates for fellowship must be in the name of Jesus Christ. They must be saved to even think of gathering for the purpose of intimacy and fellowship. Two thieves were hung up on the cross with the person of Christ, but only one that repented and believed in the Kingdom of Heaven and Christ, that received attention from Jesus. To gather in fellowship with the Lord as a family this morning, we must all be in Him. Our devotion will not be c...
