WORD FEAST (Day 1) - ISLAND

Today's Focus: How to Make the Word of God Work for You. If you want to get anything in life, you must start with the word. Nothing can work without the word - (John 1:1) It's such a beautiful life when you live by the word of GOD - Pastor Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo. The confidence we have is that when we pray according to God's will, He hears us. Where can we find His will? In His word. When you are solidly built on God's word, life situations don't move you - Pastor Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo. The word of God is an incorruptible seed. The results depend on the soil (your heart) - (Matt 13:3-8;Heb 4:2) - Pastor Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo. God's word is the formula for life. It is capable of producing results in every aspect of your life - Pastor Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo. People are erroneously trying to use the word of God to get things instead of using the word of God to become the person who those things chase after in every aspect of your life - Pastor Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo. 4 ways to make God's word produce for you: 1. You must love the word of God. Esteem it highly - (Job 23:11; Matthew 4:4). Get addicted to God's word - (Jeremiah 20:9). 2. You must take it in and believe it completely. It is not just about the words spoken but the integrity of the One who said it - (Hebrews 11:6), (2 Timothy 3:16-17). 3. You must meditate on the word of God. Meditation transfers the word you're reading from paper into your heart to build firm roots. "As you believe God's word, you begin to confess it into existence" - (2 Corinthians 4:13). 4. You must work the word. Speak the word. The world is created to respond to words. The world was created by words and is sustained by words - (Hebrews 11:3; John 6:63). ~Act on the word in obedience.  The word of God is alive. Work the word. See you tomorrow!
