GET UNDERSTANDING

Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”

Daniel 12:8

A lot of people can read and hear messages, however, not everybody understands. You have to make sure that you understand what you read and what you hear.

Understanding will cause you to act upon the Word; it will give you practical wisdom. Understanding will cause you to produce results and it will get you to the desired end.

We should get wisdom and understanding not just wisdom. When you go for the Word, you are going for wisdom. However, you must also go for understanding.

Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

Proverbs 4:5

1.            Be prayerful

The Word and prayer go together. When you pray you speak to God and when you read the Word, God speaks to you. One does not go without the other. You need both, The Word and the Spirit.

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not loose heart.

Luke 18:1

2.            Give the Word your undivided attention

Pay attention to the Word; if you want to get the most out of the Word, give it your undivided attention. Don’t multitask when you truly want to read the Word, but focus.

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.

Proverbs 4:20

3.            Read and listen to the Word repeatedly

When you read and listen to the Word repeatedly you gain understanding. You see and hear things that you might never have before. The Word changes you as you read and listen to it repeatedly.

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:17

Thought of the day: I have to get wisdom and understanding.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that I have the ability to understand Your Word, thank You that as I pray, give Your Word my undivided attention, read and listen to it repeatedly, I gain more understanding, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

STRENGTHEN YOURSELF IN THE LORD

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 Things could be going wrong all around you, challenges everywhere, and negative thoughts attacking your mind even to a point of depression. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing up in depression, stand up and strengthen yourself in the Lord. We live in the world that has challenges, Jesus said that in the world you will have tribulations, but cheer up because Jesus has overcome the world. Strengthen yourself in the Lord and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 When you are weak you cannot overcome challenges you face in life. When you are weak you cannot have the victory and take possession your inheritance. You have to be strong. Strong

WAGE WAR WITH PROPHECY

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare. 1 Timothy 1:18 If you have a prophecy spoken over your life it is time for warfare. It is time to wage war with your prophecy. Take the prophecy spoken over you and put it in your mouth. Speak the same prophecy over your life. Agree with God. Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 Speak the same things with God. That is faith, faith speaks the same things with God and we overcome by our faith. Faith will put you over and it will make you an overcomer. Use your faith to wage war. And whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world – our faith. 1 John 5:4 Put up a good fight and fight the good fight of faith. You have to fight in order to win. Wage war with prophecy. If there is no prophecy spoken over you, there is nothing to it. Use the Word and speak the Word over

GOD REWARDS RIGHTEOUS LIVING

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. 2 Samuel 22:21 Righteousness according to the Old Testament is righteous living. However, in the New Testament we have received the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ. When David in the Old Testament said that the LORD rewarded him according to his righteousness, he is essentially saying that the LORD rewarded him for his righteous living. Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 The above Scripture would then mean: “Say to those who live righteously that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.” God rewards righteous living. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself right now, if you would continue living righteously, living according to God’s Word sooner than later your life would begin to change. You can turn things around as you live righteously.
