Be A Doer Of The Word Of God

MEMORIZE:

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22

Read: . Matthew 7:24-27

24.  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25.  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26.  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27.  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

MESSAGE:

James 1:22-25 tells us that we must not be hearers only, but doers of the word of God. It says that people who are not doers of the word are deceiving themselves and are qualified to be called fools. According to our Bible reading for today, a fool is someone who hears the word and will not act on it. Such a person is like someone who is building a house on sand. Some of the people God called fools according to Psalm 14:1 are those who say that there is no God.

If I were to ask many Christians if they believe there is God, they are likely to say ‘Sure’. The question is, why then are they careless with His words? Those He calls fools are those who do not take His words seriously.

 Those who don’t obey the word of God do not have the fear of God. Proverbs 1:7 says

that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.

If we all fear the Almighty God, we will not disobey His words. Those who disobey God are fools.

For some people, their ideology is, “I obey when I want, the way I want, and only the part of the word that is convenient for me.”

Such people have lost the fear of God. In Matthew 21:28-32, Jesus told the story of a father who said to his son, “Go and work on my farm.” The son replied, “I am not going.” He later repented and went. How can your father give you an instruction, and you tell him to his face, “I am not going?” If you were raised the way I was, some lashes will definitely follow such effrontery. As for the second son, the father also gave him an instruction, and he said he will obey, but he did not obey. Proverbs 25:19 says that such a son is like a broken tooth and a foot out of joint; someone who lets you down at a critical moment.

However, there was a third son that you may not easily notice in that passage; He was the one telling the story. Jesus Christ Himself was the Son who said, “I will go,” and went Isaiah 6:8. In Matthew 26:39, this same Son said, “…not as I will, but as thou wilt.”

Let your disposition to God’s word always be, “Not as I will, but as thou wilt.” My prayer is that you will always do the will of God, just like Jesus Christ.

Key Point:

Obey the word of God promptly and completely at all times, whether it is convenient or not.

PRAYER POINTS

1.  I bless the All-Wise God who holds my tomorrow in His Hands

2.  Father, I ask for the grace to be a prompt doer of Your instructions in Jesus Name.

3.  Father, deliver me from self-deceit and going into error in Jesus Name

4.  Father, in Your mercies help me never to allow the deceitfulness of sin harden my heart in Jesus Name.

5.  Father, give me the understanding never to provoke You to anger but please You with my lifestyle in Jesus Name

6.  In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, I shall not be a fair weather Christian…a believer who obeys when it’s only convenient

7.  Father, take my life and use it for your pleasure in Jesus Name

Glory be to God

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
