GIVE EVERYTHING TO THE WORD

By Joseph Akinola

GIVE EVERYTHING TO THE WORD

John 1:1-5; John 15.

The Word of God is Promise of God, the Word of God is what God can do; what He will do and also what He is doing. The Word of God is God. The Word of God has in it the Creating Ability to cause / boost your creative prowess John 14:1-3. Anything you give to the Word, you have given to God. Giving everything to the Word means, ‘to submit totally everything about you to God Almighty’.

Why Give To The Word

1. The Word of God is Settled in Heaven Psalm 119:89. Anything you give / commit to the Word becomes a settled matter, because the Word is settled in a settled place (heaven).

2. The Word of God is Established Job 22:28. Until you embrace the Word of God, it (the Word) will not be Established in your life (it is the Word of God you embrace that is be established (proved) in your life, and that same Word will now establish you (set you up, authenticate and confirm you).

Bible says in Job 22v28 that, ‘you shall decree a thing and it shall be established’. The Word of God in your life/heart is the Word of God in your mouth. The Word of God in your mouth is what will be Established/Confirmed. So what are you saying about your life? Psalm 87:5.

3. The Word of God is Yea and Amen. 2nd Corinthians 1:20. Anything the Word of God says is what happens. The Word of God is the Truth and when you embrace the Truth, everything about your life becomes True. Anything the word says is what you will experience.

What To Give To The Word

1. Your Life: John 3:3, John 3:7; 1st Peter 1:23. Another word for this is (the salvation of your soul). The first requirement God demands of you is your life. He gave it to you and He wants you to submit it willingly to Him so that He can direct the affairs of your life. When you willingly hand your life over to God, He will handle your life appropriately. Giving your life to God means, surrendering totally, everything about your life to him. Using the principle of sowing and reaping, without giving, there can never be receiving. The same way, when you don’t give your life, you won’t really get it / have it useful to you nor will you be able to maximize the glory God had ordained of you at your creation.

2. Focus/Attention: Hebrews 12:2, Luke 11:34-36. Where is your focus? To What / Whom have you given or are you giving your attention to? Where you put your focus and attention will greatly determine what kind of focus (influence) you will be to your world and the attention you will command in your world. What are you giving your attention to? Is it the economy, relative, what people are saying or the terrible situation you are passing through? Bible says, no man can receive anything except it is given to him. Before you will be given anything by anyone, your focus/attention is highly needed/required by that person; this shows your thirst and your yearning; and this will also determine how much (in quality and quantity) what would be delivered into your hands. Bible says, that a double minded individual/fellow cannot receive anything from God, so be focus. James 1:6-8.

3. Your Heart: Proverbs 4:20-23. You need to give God your heart. Your heart is seat of decision and the throne of power for your life and destiny. God wants your heart and the devil too wants your heart. When you don’t give it to God, the devil automatically takes charge of it with several evil/wicked thoughts. Giving God your heart demands that you fear the Lord and study His word, meditate daily and ceaselessly on the word. By doing this, (meditating on the Word regularly), you will have the Word you have read and meditated upon gives birth into lots of multi-million Dollar ideas that will engage your heart and lead you into your destiny. That same Word of God you hid/kept in your heart will keep you away from all manners of unrighteousness and sin / wicked things Psalm 119v11. Bible says, ‘guard your heart with all diligence’ my question is, can you really guard your heart yourself – without any stronger person’s influence? No, you need the Word of God (God Personified) to guard your heart and also guide/direct your ways into destiny.

When you give God your heart, He will cause you to live a meaning life. This would be determined by the portion of your heart you give (apportion/allocate) to Him. Further Reading: Proverbs 3:1; 3:3; 4:4; 7:1-3.

4. Your Will: Don’t go to God with an idol in your heart. Your Will should be a reflection of what the Word of God is saying. Any Will outside what the Word is saying is a mere wish and it cannot come to pass/fruition. There is a proverb/adage that says ‘wherever and whenever there is a will, there is a way’ - but what I have discovered is that, until your will is aligned with the Word of God, there can never be a way in it. Any Will outside the Word of God is likened to a fellow coming to God with what he wants God to do for him and not what God can do or has in stock for him.

5. Your Thought. Joshua 1:8. Your thought is a product of your intake (what you feed you mind on), it is the by-product of MEDITATION. When your thought is not given to God through your meditation, you can never receive what the mind of God is for your life. Each time you meditate on God’s Word (both the Logos – written word and Rhema – received word), God deposits in you the content of His mind in your mind. Your meditation exercise is your craving for Him and His stuff. Romans 12:2.

Your life can never be better than your thought life Proverbs. 23:7a says, “as a man Thinketh, so is he”. What are you thinking? The fact is, you cannot really think right without the presence and material of God in you. Don’t forget that your life will always move in the direction of your most dominant thought.

6. Your Plans And Proposals: Proverbs 3:5-6. Present your Plans, Projects and Proposals to God and He will plan your Plans to work out excellently. Submit your Projects to God and He will Project it and you (the project carrier) to your world. Commit your Proposals into God’s hand and He will Announce you to your world and your entire world will Subscribe and Propose to (aim at) your product.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

By Joseph Akinola

THE HOLY SPIRIT {An Overview}

ACTS 1:8

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the Trinity.

He is the Personality behind every Exploits and Manifestations in the Pentecostal movement today Romans 1:20.


This is an Inexhaustible Jesus promised you and I when He was ascending into heaven Acts 1:4 & 8.

The Holy Spirit is a Person. He is a personality in the order of the Godhead.

He is in charge of the affairs of the Kingdom of God on earth today.

He Empowers people/believers/saints for Supernatural feats.

The Holy Spirit is the most Valuable asset to Christian living.

He is the Central Figure in any breakthrough in life

He is the ever-abiding Power of God available to saints today John 16:13.

He is the spirit of Truth John 16:13

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”

He is the Personality that Guide, Directs, Shows, Leads, Conducts, Points, Manages, and Pilots you into all the ‘Truth’ about your life.

The Future (God’s Plan and Purpose for you) is the ‘Truth’; Everything that Makes Up the journey to your destiny is the ‘Truth’ from God, all that You Must and Should Do in order to enter it are all ‘Truth’ by God, which you cannot Access without Possessing / Having Him (Holy Spirit) in you (your life). I mean the Truth from God (what God had written concerning your life and destiny) cannot be In View, Known, Realized/Achieved and Fulfilled without His Leadings, Instructions/Companionship.

You cannot NAVIGATE through the sea of life without the Help/Assistance and the Presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.

What You Should Know About The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit, (at reception-when you received Him) is like a seed, which Grows and Brings Forth Fruits of POWER, Acts 1:8. This power enables you to do all that you need to do (Philippians 4:13). The Power you receive will make you become an Evidence of the Word of God you utter in your mouth and the Word you live by to your world.

UNENDING SUCCESS REDEFINED 6

THE GOOD WAY

Anchor Scripture: Jeremiah 6:16, Proverbs 14:12, Proverbs 16:25, Joshua1:8



Success in life has different meaning to different folks / individuals. There are the right success and the wrong success; the good and the bad, the positive success/achievement and the negative.

To succeed in life, there are ways/routes and things one needs to search out, discover, embrace, follow and engage.



The good ways are the lessons from both your success/life journey and other people.

What you learn from Lessons are, ‘how it worked’, ‘what worked’ and ‘what could be done – Creativity’.

What you learn from experiences are, ‘how not to do a thing’ and ‘how it went/worked’.



Lessons cannot be acquired without research. Lessons can never be obtained without submission – to learn. Lessons cannot be acquired without Conscious and Thorough study both in the Word of God, study in the field of your expertise and study about the dynamics of what / which project you want to execute Joshua 1:8.



In order to acquire lessons, there must be a Disciplined Meditation both on the Word of God and about the project you’re working on.



Thoughts On This Formula

• When you meditate, what you meditate over enlarges and becomes broaden to you. When you meditate, what you meditate on gets engraved on the tablet of your heart acting as an instruction/guide, causing you to remain focus, bold and clear about your vision/project.

• Meditation gives birth to Medications. Meditation provokes Results. Regular Meditation causes you to be Creative and Innovative in whatever you do.

•  Each time you Meditate, you birth the Solution to the problem/challenges at hand/at sight/view.

 Action Line

• Have a Lesson Book; where you write your lesson about life, both your personal lessons and the ones from people around.
• Meditate regularly both on the Word of God and about your business/vision/project/proposals.
• Get to work immediately you get a medication (the ‘how to do it’) before you engage on the ‘Analysis that Leads to the Paralysis’ of the vision/projects.

UNENDING SUCCESS REDEFINED 1

CONSISTENCY

Anchor Scripture: Jeremiah 6:16

“Thus saith the Lord, stand in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said. We will not walk therein.”

Consistency

“Thus says the Lord, stand……”

Success in life is traceable to some vital keys & instructions which when adhere to & embraced, make one out-shine his peers, colleagues and competition in whatever a man does.

The place of success/the need for success in a Christian’s life is the beginning of all attainment as far as God is concerned – Joshua 1:8. “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.”

Success is a place/level of rest, accomplishment; success is the least of all attainment level in what God programmed for mankind. To succeed, there is a great need to find a Vision and Walk Consistently In It.

In our anchor Scripture, Jeremiah 6:16, it says, “Stand you in the ways…”

To Stand means to be Consistent, Focused, to Concentrate, Remain in; it means to really Soak oneself into whatsoever one is doing.

Habakkuk 2:2-3, Consistency brings Unending Attainment.

WHERE ARE YOUR STANDING?

ARE YOU REALLY STANDING RIGHT?

FOR WHAT REASON ARE YOU STANDING?

Until you answer the above questions about your Vision and your plans, vision, plans and projects will remain on hold!

Habakkuk 2:3 says, “…though it tarries, wait for it….”.

Thought On This Formular

Don’t leave/drop the vision before its Yielding Time.

Don’t forget that where you are positioned will determine how you will be found.
