Hallelujah!
We are continuing on our subject, Making Progress.
How do you make progress then?
First and foremost, you must take the Word of God seriously, study and be a doer of the Word.
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." James 1:22.
"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." James 1:25.
There is a blessing that comes with doing the Word. You ought to do the Word and live by it. You program yourself in the direction of progress, success and prosperity, this way. Only the Word can help you prosper successfully.
The Bible says,
"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Proverbs 4:18."
If the Bible has said so, then it means it can also show you the way to become it.
Joshua 1:8 says, "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."
If the Word is not in you, you can’t meditate on it. So you must make a conscious effort to get it into you and as you do, you meditate on it, chew it until it gets into your system. You'll make unstoppable progress this way. Praise God!
Also, increase the knowledge of the Word in you. The Bible says,
"...but through knowledge shall the just be delivered." Proverbs 11:9.
Here it means delivered into their inheritance. Hallelujah!
The more you know, the more you are able to function correctly and accurately in God and also take possession of all that belongs to you in Christ Jesus. We have so much riches which we need to discover and this can only be done as you get more knowledge from the Word.
"Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;" Ephesians 3:8
There is so much to discover from the Word, so get to the Word! Hallelujah!
Revelation is progressive, get the newest of them and begin to run with them. Study the Word more, get to find out something new from the Word all the time. As you do this, the Spirit of God would align your life with these new and beautiful informations from thd Word. Praise God!
Secondly, as a giver in God’s house, make up your mind to always give beyond your present giving level. You want to be richer, you have to give bigger.
Riches mean, abundant supply. If you want to be that way, you have to make up your mind on the level of giving you want to function. You may say, "I barely have enough for myself." Start from where you are, as you do, you keep getting bigger until you reach the level you want. Aim at the top, that is where you belong.
Moreover, never say you don't have, it all begins with your confession. When you confess rightly, you are positioned rightly. Talk yourself up, talk yourself to the top. Hallelujah!
Make the right confessions about ýour finances, businesses, home and virtually all that concerns you, all the time. When you get much of the Word into you, you'll make these confessions right.
God wants to frustrate the works of darkness through your giving. He wants to mock darkness with you. Hallelujah! Every time your seed is on the altar, the devil runs mad because he knows the power of a seed cannot by stopped. Your seed settles it all, no hindrances.
If this is what God wants to do with you, then you must do it big and even bigger. Don’t give the devil a chance, don't give him a foothold, put him where he belongs and that is where? Under your feet! Glory!
You are bigger than you think. You should live that way all the time. Never see a small you, you are big and you are a big-shot, a big-shot for God, a big-shot in the Kingdom. Praise God!
Let the Word dwell in you richly. Always put it to work and produce tremendous results with it.
Lift up those hands to God now!
