God\u2018s eternal will for you is enduring success, and He is so clear on it in His Word. However, even though permanent success is God\u2019s will for you, it is not automatic. You have to do something with his will before you can enjoy everything He has planned for you.<\/p>\n
Galatians 5:25-26 We cannot have good and enduring success without working the Word in every detail of our lives. Being relevant in the earth for God takes more than a wish. You must develop spiritually, and become in your soul whatever you\u00a0already\u00a0are in your spirit. This is an intense process of\u00a0yielding, transforming and becoming\u00a0who you are in Christ (growing and maturing into him in all things). The Bible must become more than an accessory on Sunday mornings. Dear reader, the Word must become flesh in you. You must become the Word, known and read by all. This is the only way you can have healthy and enduring success. The Word forms and crystallises in you when you act on it.<\/p>\n Philippians 4:8-9 The Greek word translated \u2018do\u2019 in the above scripture is\u00a0\u2018prasso\u0304\u2019\u00a0which means to practise. Practise the Word. Submit to the Lordship of the Word in your life. The Word is your very life.It is not just a set of rules and regulations. As Jesus said, the Word is life and spirit (John 6:63)<\/p>\n Joshua 1:8 Philippians 4:9 When you do the WORD, the God of peace (prosperity, rest and quietness) shall be with you. This is awesome. You secure God-guaranteed prosperity by doing the Word. All kinds of unexplainable miracles happen to, and for the man who becomes a practitioner of the Word.\u00a0 This was the experience of the disciples when they decided to obey Jesus, contrary to their own experience.<\/p>\n John 21:3-8 Commit to being a doer of God\u2019s Word, and be guaranteed of not just success, but enduring success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" God\u2018s eternal will for you is enduring success, and He is so clear on it in His Word.

\n\u201cSince this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives\u201d.<\/strong>\u00a0 (The Message Bible)<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFinally, 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.\u00a0\u00a09 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\u201d.<\/strong>
\nPaul said, \u201cThe things which you\u00a0learned\u00a0and\u00a0received\u00a0and\u00a0heard\u00a0and\u00a0seen\u00a0in me, do\u201d.\u00a0If you have no intention of doing the Word, you will be playing church all of your life. This amounts to self-deception \u2013 knowing something and not doing it.\u00a0 Doing the Word is the result of intense learning, receiving, hearing and seeing \u00a0it. The truth is, transformation is intense. You cannot have progressive and lasting change without transformation, and you cannot have transformation without the doing the Word.<\/p>\n
\nThis Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.\u00a0<\/strong>
\nJoshua was commanded by God not to let the Word depart out of his mouth just so he (Joshua) could do the details of the Word. And God explained why Joshua had to do the Word:\u00a0For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
\nAre you seeing this? God is not responsible for your prosperity; your prosperity is entirely your responsibility. It depends on what you\u00a0do\u00a0with the Word of God. He shows you what to do to prosper; whether you\u00a0will\u00a0prosper, is your choice.
\nTalking the Word enables you to do it. God never does anything until He has said it; that is why we also need to keep talking the Word, in order to achieve results in every area of our lives. If you are faced with any challenge whatsoever \u2013 be it financial, marital or regarding your health, go to the Word. Find out what it says about your case, and when you do, make that Word your confession, not what your circumstances suggest. The more often you do this, the sooner your circumstances will begin to align with the Word of God.<\/p>\n
\n“Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me,\u00a0do: and the God of peace shall be with you<\/span>\u201d<\/strong>.\u00a0(Emphasis mine)<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSimon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.\u00a0\u00a04 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.\u00a05 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.\u00a06 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.\u00a0\u00a07 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.\u00a0\u00a08 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.<\/strong>
\nThe disciples had worked all night and caught nothing. Yet when they heard the Word of Jesus and\u00a0acted on it\u00a0they had completely different results. Notice that nothing else changed at the time they decided to obey Jesus\u2019 command – same boat, same net, same water. In fact verse 8 indicates that they were in shallow waters, not very far from the shore, an unlikely place for a great catch. Yet, by acting on Jesus\u2019 command, they got a multitude of fishes. How amazing! Your circumstances notwithstanding, doing the Word changes everything!<\/p>\n
