GOD'S PRESCRIPTION - HIS WORD

 

 

(Exodus 15:26b) "For I am the Lord that healeth thee."

(Luke 11:18 )  “But he said Yea rather blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”

(James 1:21) “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”

          When we are sick, we usually find a doctor or go to a drug store to get medical help and advise on how to make us better. Once the doctor or pharmacist has heard our symptoms, they prescribe medicine for us to ease the pain or the problem. It's totally up to the individual to follow the instructions given if they want to be better. We can walk around with the prescription in our possession and neglect to get it filled. Once we decide to get it filled and have the medicine to take and don't take it, what good will it do us?  

          Medicine is no good if you don’t use it properly to make us better. We've wasted our time, money and energy for nothing. So it is with the Word of God. Use it properly, apply it to any situation in your life, and watch things began to change, as you are a doer and not just a hearer of His Word.We all have obtained so much spiritual knowledge through books, seminars, preached sermons, Christian literature of all kind, audio tapes and the Internet. Unless you are in a place in the world that is remote or unable to receive some type of communication via technology, the Word of God is available to all. Special thanks to so many Christian networks for enabling the gospel to be reached by mass media nationally and internationally. With all this availability of the Word, it is useless if we don’t keep it and do what we’ve heard.

          Jesus’ purpose for coming to earth will be in vain if we fail to carry out (Matthew 28:19 “Go ye therefore and teach all nations……”) what he left us to fulfill. Week after week, many of us enter the house of worship, get our “booster shot” from the pulpit, re-enter our daily routine the next week and hardly do what was given to us on Sundays. We return for the next service and hold our arm out (symbolically) and get another booster shot to take us through another week. Believers, we must not just be “hearers” only of what we receive but do what we receive through God’s Word.

          The messages, lessons, revelations, inspirations and insights we receive must be applied and not just heard or we will be deceiving ourselves. Someone out there in the world need what you’ve received to be delivered! Let us not take the Word of God lightly and just push it aside to use just for our convenience but let us practice it and pass it on. Medicine is no good if you don’t use it properly to make you better. So it is with the Word of God. Use it! It Works for whatever ails us!
