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...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
