“Whosoever heareth these sayings
of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a rock.” (Matthew 7:24)
If you want your deeds to be blessed, if you
want to see supernatural results in your life, you’ll have to do more than
simply read the Word of God.
You’ll have to put it into action.
That’s what I did. Years ago when I realized
that God was the One who had the answers to all my problems, that He was the
One who could supply all my needs, I committed myself to do everything His Word
told me to do.
I made a quality decision to step out in faith
on every command I saw there.
When I found out, for example, that God’s Word
instructed me to tithe, Gloria and I were already trying to stretch what little
money we had further than it could possibly go.
We were up to our necks in debt! We couldn’t
possibly afford to give away 10 percent.
But, we did it anyway. We stepped out on faith
and kept our commitment to do every command we saw.
Before long we began to see financial increase.
We’ve been increasing ever since.
Keep on reading and studying the Bible. Listen
to teaching tapes.
Go to church and hear the Word preached. But
don’t stop there.
Go one crucial step further by taking the Word
you’ve heard and put it into action!
Scripture Reading: Matthew 7:17-27
Kenneth Copeland Ministries' mission is to minister the Word of Faith, by teaching believers who
they are in Christ Jesus; taking them from the milk of the Word to the meat,
and from religion to reality.
Matthew 7:17-27 English
Standard Version (ESV)
17 So, every
healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy
tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree
that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you
will recognize them by their fruits.
I Never Knew You
21 “Not
everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many
will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast
out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then
will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you
workers of lawlessness.’
Build Your House on the Rock
24 “Everyone
then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man
who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain
fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it
did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.26 And everyone
who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish
man who built his house on the sand.27 And the rain
fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and
it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
English Standard Version (ESV)
