RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. YOU HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME TUESDAY, MARCH 29TH 2016.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do
according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way
prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success (Joshua 1:8).
In life, people may find themselves in certain circumstances
they weren't responsible for. Yes, others can create situations or
circumstances—pleasant or unpleasant—for you, but ultimately, you have a role
to play in determining the final outcome of your life.
The circumstances of your birth may not have been so
palatable. You may have been born into a poor home; and you had nothing to do
with that. That was another person's responsibility. But don't maintain the
status quo, because someone else was responsible; change things! You may have
been born poor, but you weren't born to be poor.
If you were attending a particular school, and for some
reason the school closed up, are you going to say, "Well, there's no need
for me to go to school anymore?" No, you'd go to another school, or read
at home and enroll for your exams. So, always, there's something you can do for
yourself. God needs your action. He needs your response. No Christian is ever
disadvantaged in life. You can be a success in life.
In our opening verse, God tells us how to become a success;
it's by meditating on the Word day and night. Practice this. As much as He
wants you prosperous, healthy, happy, strong and vibrant, you have a vital role
to play in making His dream for you come to reality. Irrespective of the
circumstances or the things you've been through in life, the onus is on you to
be triumphant.
As a child of God, you're not helpless. You have the Holy
Spirit, and He's your unparalleled advantage. You can do anything, be as
successful as you want to be, and be a great blessing to your world. Yes, you
can! God is waiting for you to take the action. Take a hold of His Word, and
let His glory, grace, and excellence, be expressed through you.
PRAYER
Dear Father, your Word is in my heart and in my mouth, even
the Word of faith, which I've believed. I stand firmly on your Word, and with
it, I subdue circumstances! I reign victoriously in life, expressing your
glory, excellence, righteousness, and grace, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Further Study: || James 1:22-25 but be ye doers of the word,
and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of
the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a
glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law
of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer
of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ||
