It is impossible for God to lie. He has called us into a relationship with Himself. He made a new dimension of that relationship possible by sending Jesus Christ to die on the cross because it is sin that makes the greatest separation between God and man. Now that we are in a relationship with Him, we need to understand that it is a blood covenant relationship, secured by the blood of Jesus Christ. That makes us one with God. This covenant will never fail from God’s end. If it ever fails, it will be from man’s side. The Word of God is the most powerful resource that we have. Hebrews 11:3. When you have the Word of God, you have the creative power of God at work. Genesis 1. The Word of God has capacity to change not just your situation but you. the human being is the most important asset on the planet. Acts 20:32. The Word of God can make you into your destiny and into God’s plans and purposes for your life; make you into what He wants you to be and then, give you everything you need. The Word of God works wonders. it can change a person from peasant to king, sick to healthy, barren to father of many nations.
How do we get the Word to work wonders in our lives
Matthew 13, Mark 4..Jesus explained the parable of the sower. He said the Kingdom of God is like a farmer that scattered seeds in the field. Some fell by the wayside, on the rock, among thorns and on the good soil and brought forth fruits. Even those that brought forth fruits, it was in varying degree. The disciples asked Him to explain what he means by the parable and he said the seed is the Word of God. The seed describes life and reproduction. It is the transmission point between the invisible and the visible. It is the seed that conveys what can be but has not yet been into the realm of reality. With the parable of the sower, Jesus showed that it is not everyone that gets results with revelation.
1) Line up your thinking with the Word.
When you give your life to Christ, you receive forgiveness and cultivate a relationship with God. You begin to receive and experience the Word of God. through that, you will find one thing straight away that your thinking is far from God’s standard. God puts on you the responsibility to align your thinking with His own. Same thing happened with Israel. God brought Israel out of Egypt as a nation of former slaves. He is building a whole new country with them. If that country is going to work, they had to develop a new thought system, belief and value system and a new set of behaviours and with time, that will become a new culture. Where does your identity come from? What do you believe about yourself? Who told you? Where did you get it from? from humans or God?. Matthew 4:4. Don’t derive your identity from your performance or food but from what God said. All of us were slaves to Satan and sin and we came into God’s Kingdom with baggages but we are new creations now. When you have experienced slavery or colonization, you have a poverty mindset. Slaves cannot own anything, they are owned. They have a culture of mediocrity and irresponsibility. They grow with the concept that they cannot change their situation. Wrong thinking will lead to wrong believing, Wrong believing will then produce wrong behaviour. John 1:12.
You cannot serve God and not value information and revelation because it is the foundation for transformation. Joshua 1:8. You can’t rise beyond the level of your thinking and the quality of your thoughts, values and belief system. Romans 12:2. Have you observed that the countries that brought Christianity to Africa are developed but Africa is not. One profound thing I discovered in Africa is that Christianity has not changed a lot of our value system, thinking and beliefs. We have our own version and it is adulterated. If you believe the integrity of God’s Word, your thoughts will change. Luke 6:46-49. As a Christian, has your thinking about how to make money changed? You have to go into the Bible to learn how to prosper. Ephesians 4:28 Unfortunately many don’t read their Bibles. They make pastors do the job. Pastors are the contractors that read the Bible and should come tell you what they read. When I wanted to learn how to prosper, I read the Bible and realised that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were entrepreneurs…I discovered God is a God of Entrepreneurs. I saw giving but I did not see it as a substitute for working. I was teaching entrepreneurship one hour every Sunday for 3 years in church. It seemed as if I was crazy but I never regretted it. I’m happy I did it. One other thing I found out is that your national economy affects your personal finances and you need to help structure the economy. I found out that the principles to increase finances were actually addressed to the Nation of Israel and not to individuals. Deuteronomy 28. If a whole nation has collective values that align with the values of God, that Nation will prosper. I found out in the Acts of Apostles that the church operated collectively. Nobody lacked anything. Then, I made up my mind that in Daystar, nobody must go to bed hungry, else ,we are not a church. Let us do the Bible. Stop eating what others have chewed like a baby. Read the Bible yourself. Acts 17:11. What did you find out from the Bible about marriage? God says Husband, love your wives just as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her. If you are not ready to die for your wife, then don’t get married or destroy her life. Do the Bible, the word still works wonders.
