HOW TO ACTIVATE GOD'S WORD.

..if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.’ 1 John 5:14 NIV

While you are waiting for God’s Word to be fulfilled in your life, do these three
things:

(1) Verbalise it. The most effective way to pray is to speak God’s Word. The patriarchs, prophets and psalmists regularly reminded God of His promises in prayer, confident He would keep them. The surest indicator of God’s will is His Word. ‘This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us…we know that we have what we asked of Him.‘ (1 John 5:14-15 NIV) God always responds to His Word, always!

(2) Obey it. God’s plan for us is not just to speak His Word, vital as this is, but that we obey it (James 1:22). The hymn-writer said: ‘When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, what a glory He sheds on our way; while we do His good will, He abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey.’ Obedience – faith in action – aligns us with God and He responds by fulfilling His promise to us.

(3) Share it. Parents and grandparents, ‘Take to heart these words that I give you today. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you’re at home or away, when you lie down or get up.’ (Deuteronomy 6:6-7 GWT) You needn’t be a qualified teacher, just a sincere teller. Sharing God’s Word will produce fruit in the lives of your family, friends, relatives, business associates and neighbours, and also increase your own grasp and understanding of it.

True Worship Of God

True worship of God is an expression of love and loyalty unto Him. God desires us to worship Him in spirit and in truth. Worship from us is likened unto sacrifice unto God.

“Therefore I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living  sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship."  - Romans 12:1

The quality of worship we offer unto Him shows the value we place on Him. True and sincere worship unto God is one of the sweetest part of our relationship with Him; it is an intense affectionate display of love unto Him; declaring His glory, thus provoking His presence.

I can still remember most of my encounters with God were born out of heartfelt worship that changed my life.
God is jealous God, who does not share His glory with another. He is a God of complete devotion, who is devoted in loving us and expresses His love unto us.
