THE BLESSING IS IN DOING THE WORD

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves (James 1:22).

The manifestation of God’s blessing is in doing His Word. The Word tells you who you are, what belongs to you, and how to live. Doing the Word means aligning your actions with its revelations about your identity, inheritance, and your place in Christ. It requires consistency and commitment, but the results are undeniable.

James 1:23-25 says, “For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 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.”

As a young Christian, one of the most important commitments I made was to ensure there was no conflict between my life and what the Scripture says. I wanted consistency; I wanted the Word of God manifested in my life. I desired to live in such a way that my life reflected what the Word says, and I could read my life from the Scriptures without contradiction. To achieve this, I resolved to be a doer of the Word.

To be a doer of the Word means to put the Word into practice, to act on what it says, and to live according to its truth. It is not just about “obeying” God’s instructions; in Christianity, we don’t merely obey the Word—we do the Word. The Word is our life; it defines who we are, what we have, and where we are. As such, we act it out, becoming everything the Word says we are.

As read in the preceding verses of scripture, the one who fails to do the Word is like someone who looks at himself in a mirror but forgets his appearance the moment he turns away. To be a doer of the Word, you must continually remember what the Word says about you and act accordingly. So, commit to being a doer of the Word and it’ll produce in and for you what it talks about.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the transforming power of your Word. I’m a doer of your Word, and its blessings are manifested in my life. Thank you for the grace and wisdom to continually walk in the light of your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. ||
