WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Philippians 2:12-13

Salvation is a big word and it includes all the things that Christ died for you to have. Work out your own salvation by doing God’s will, being obedient to Him. You take possession of what belongs to you by living a life of obedience to God.

When you live a life of obedience to God you activate the blessing of God in your life. It will be evident to all that you are blessed when you live a life of obedience. Obedience is the key to living the blessed life!

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.

Isaiah 1:19

Things will begin to work when you work out your own salvation; things will begin to work when you live a life of obedience to God. There is usually a clear distinction to the obedient and disobedient in the kingdom of God, the obedient walk in the blessing of the Lord and the disobedient don’t.

When you live a life of obedience to God, your life goes upward and forward. When you live a life of obedience to God, you go from faith to faith, strength to strength and glory to glory.

But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

Proverbs 4:18

When you work out your own salvation, you can live a life of prosperity, health and perpetual victory. Your life will keep getting better and better, brighter and brighter, greater and greater. Hallelujah! You don’t decrease by living a life of obedience but you increase by living a life of obedience.

If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

Job 36:11

Thought of the day: I work out my own salvation by living a life of obedience to God.

Confession: My life is going upward and forward. My best days are ahead of me. The best is yet to come.

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.
