You need to know and note as a genuine CHILD of GOD that whenever God wants to do something for His people, He will speak forth or send forth His WORD. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
He sent His WORD, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:20).
However, the WORD of GOD:
1. Sometimes comes before TIME, for a situation that is to happen in the FUTURE (season). True!
2. Sometimes comes on TIME, for a situation that is (already) happening in the PRESENT (season). True!
3. Sometimes comes after TIME, for a situation that as already happened in the PAST (season). True!
This is because God is a PURPOSE-driven God that works with TIME and SEASON. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
TO every thing there is a SEASON, and a TIME to every PURPOSE under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He has MADE every thing BEAUTIFUL in His TIME: also He has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).
Do you get it?
However, Jesus Christ described different types of receptiveness and responsiveness to the WORD of GOD thus:
The Bible reveals thus:
Hear you therefore the parable of the sower. When any one hears the WORD of the kingdom, and understands it NOT, then comes the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the WORD, and anon with joy receive it; Yet has he NOT root in himself, but dures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the WORD; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the WORD, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. (Matthew 13:18-23; 3-9).
That is why must you take the WORD of GOD serious enough, so that it will be enough to work for you in due time.
You must make conscious and consistent efforts to take the WORD of GOD serious enough, because the enemy of your soul and success will fight it in your life to an extent, where it will not perfect and profit you, if you let him have his way in your life in anyway, especially through sinful ways. True! (1 Peter 5:8-10; 1 John 5:16-21; James 1:12-15).
You must make conscious and consistent efforts to take the WORD of GOD serious enough, because:
1. The WORD of GOD is God Himself. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1).
Take note, take heed!
2. The WORD of GOD created the WORLD.
The Bible reveals thus:
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the WORD of GOD, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3).
Take note, take heed!
3. The WORD of GOD does not return to Him void (empty). True!
The Bible reveals thus:
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are NOT your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns NOT thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my WORD be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall NOT return unto me VOID, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I SENT it. For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. (Isaiah 55:7-12).
Take note, take heed!
4. The WORD of GOD is quick, powerful and sharper than two-edged sword...True!
The Bible reveals thus:
For the WORD of GOD is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
Take note, take heed!
5. The WORD of GOD coverts the souls and renews the minds to know and prove what is the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD for par time par situation. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the RENEWING of your MIND, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, WILL of GOD. (Romans 12:1,2; Psalm 19:7-14).
Take note, take heed!
6. The WORD of GOD perfects and thoroughly furnishes to all good works in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:16,17).
Take note, take heed!
7. The WORD of GOD rewards commitment and compliance. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall BE like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that BRINGS forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he DOES shall PROSPER. (Psalm 1:1-3; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 19:7-14).
Take note, take heed!
Therefore, when you received the Holy Spirit inspired or empowered WORD of GOD for your situation, do not play or gamble with it. You must take it seriously enough, for it to be enough to work for you in due time. True!
Take note, take heed!
That is why Apostle Paul counselled thus:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the GOD of PEACE shall be with you. (Philippians 4:8,9).
Do you get it!
Take note, take heed!
Enjoy your weekend!
God bless you.
