“Faith is needed for the impossible, and so you dare to act on the Word, as though the impossible had become a possibility, a reality.“

“Faith is needed for the impossible, and so you dare to act on the Word, as though the impossible had become a possibility, a reality.“ E.W. Kenyon.

The third step in God’s formula for success involves action. We must act as though the word we have been speaking, talking and meditating about, is true, even when the circumstances seem to say otherwise.

Jesus said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." (Luke 18:27). We have to act like we have already received the answer. Right here is where a lot of people miss it, because they fail to act on God’s word even though they know it works. You may have been studying Gods word for years. You may know how to live by faith better than anybody around, but if you only know and fail to act or do God’s word, you will miss the rewards. Remember it is not what you know, but rather what you know and act on, that brings the victory into manifestation.

Mark 11:22-24 “Have faith in God. For truly I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, ‘Be thou removed and be cast into the sea’, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things he says with his mouth shall come to pass, he shall have just what he says. Therefore I say unto you, whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and then you shall have them.”

Notice Jesus didn’t say you should believe you receive when you see it. He said to believe you receive, when you pray. John G. Lake said, “Beloved, it is not our long prayers but our believing God that gets the answer.”

Now if you follow His instructions, how do you think you should act? You should act like you have it now, you have your victory now, and you have your answer now! Do something you could not do before. Lift that arm, move that leg, bend that back! Rejoice, be happy! Praise God for the Victory now, thank Him for answering your prayers before you see it with your eyes and then you shall have it!

“One of these days” - is none of these days.

“One of these days is none of these days”. The second step in God’s formula of success is “You shall meditate the word day and night,” (Joshua 1:8). Do it now, start today, and make it a habit for the rest of your life. To meditate God’s word is more than just reading it.

You must take it into your heart in a very personal way and then apply it to your circumstances.

When you read the word and you see a scripture on prosperity, don’t just go, “well I wish I was prosperous!” That is not meditating the word. To meditate means to dwell on that scripture, claim it as your own. Own it; see yourself as prospering by the Lord’s grace and favour. Get a mental picture of a prosperous you. Declare this is not a history book; this is God talking to me. God is communicating with me, I am prosperous, and I receive this truth into my life, in Jesus name amen. Digest the word, feed on the word; this is your bread of life. Allow the word to become active in your life!

Every tomorrow has two handles.

“Every tomorrow has two handles. You can take hold of the handle of anxiety or the handle of enthusiasm. Upon your choice so will the day be.”

“Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth...” (Joshua 1:8) That’s the first element of supernatural success God gives us in this verse. I like to say it this way, make a decision this day and every day to talk the word.

Deuteronomy 6:7 says, “...Speak the word when you sit at home, speak the word when you walk along the road, talk the word when you lie down and talk the word when you get up.” Be consistent, talk and speak the word all the time, all the day!

Romans 10:17 declares that, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God”.

In Luke 6:45 Jesus said, “…out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”. If you worry about your finances, your job, your health, or your family all day, that will be your focus and you will fill your heart with fear and anxiety. To change what is coming out of your mouth, you must change your focus. Fill your heart with the word and your mouth will get in line. Your answer is in God’s word in your heart and mouth.

Against the Odds

Aerodynamically the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn’t know this, so it goes on flying anyway. It takes courage to fly when the circumstances and every one around is screaming in your ears you can’t. It takes courage to stand on and continue to believe the Word of God when all hell is arrayed against you. But once you make the decision to do it, you will be ready to activate God’s three part formula for success.

Make the decision that you will win, make the decision that you will beat the odds; make the decision that you will achieve victory in life through Jesus Christ. You are not alone, God is with you today and He is on your side. Like the bumble bee, He will give you the ability to succeed in the face of impossible odds.

Joshua 1:8 “This book of law shall not depart out of your mouth but you shall meditate therein day and night that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous and then you will have good success.”

In the Amplified bible, it says if we do this we will deal wisely and have good success. I like that, deal wisely! So what are the 3 steps God gives us here in this verse?

1. Keep your heart and mouth full of the word of God.
2. Meditate (speak, dream, mutter, imagine, think, get a mental picture) on the word day and night.
3. Observe and do (obey) according to all that is written in it.

There they are, three simple steps directly from the mouth of God. Steps that enabled Joshua to conquer the land of Canaan and bring Israel into their inheritance. Steps that will enable you to live like the conqueror God designed you to be.

God Bless,

“Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”

“But Shaun, you don’t know me! I have tried every formula in the book. I just keep failing; I don’t have what it takes to succeed”. Well if that is what you are thinking, you need to change what you are thinking. God says you can fulfil your destiny and no one has a right to stop you.

God told Joshua in chapter 1 verse 5, “There shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you, nor will I forsake you” (Josh 1:5).

God had told Moses in the book of Exodus (Ex 3:12) when Moses claimed he wasn’t qualified to go before Pharaoh to demand the release of Gods people, that He (God) was with Moses. In other words, it doesn’t matter who you are, if God is with you all that matters is who God is a nd what God can do.

That’s the great thing about God’s success formula. It is not based on our abilities; it is based on God’s abilities. We may be inadequate in a dozen different ways, but the One who is with us is more than enough. In order to fulfil our destiny, we have to make a decision to act on and believe Gods word.

Make a decision today that with God’s help, with His ability, you will fulfil your purpose in life. Joshua 1:7 says “Be strong and very courageous, that you may do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left that you may prosper wherever you go”.

Wow, now that’s a powerful promise. If we take the bold step to act on and trust the Word of God, if we take the bold step to obey the word of God, live our life by the principles of God’s word, then God himself takes responsibility for our success and prosperity.

I dare you today to believe in your divine destiny. I dare you today to obey the word of God. I dare you today to make a quality decision to achieve your purpose in life, and do the necessary thing to make it happen.

If it’s unacceptable, don’t accept it.

In last Men’s Breakfast, the topic of discussion was ‘raising the standard’. My brother in law, John, said his old boss, who is now retired, had a favourite saying and it goes like this, “If its unacceptable don’t accept it.” John said he now makes that one of his daily themes.

All too often in life we settle for second best, all too often we settle for a lower standard than what we really desire or hope for. Some people long to see a greater victory, a better outcome, a standard of excellence, yet never get to see their dreams realized, and become frustrated to the point where they lower their hopes.

The bible tells us that “Hope deferred makes the heart sick” (Proverbs 13v12). If we think of sick ground or sour ground, we know its ability to grow and produce is diminished or even neutralized. A farmer will plough his ground, fertilise it and sometimes he will even grow a crop, just to be ploughed back in for the express purpose of refreshing and redepositing minerals and elements that have been depleted through continual use.

If you have lowered your standards today, if your dreams have been stolen from you, if you feel depleted today, let me encourage you.

• First - lift up again the standard of excellence, be determined to give life your best effort and expect life’s best back in return.
  
• Keep moving forward; don’t settle for anything unacceptable.
• When the desire comes, it is a tree of life (Proverbs 13 v12), keep pushing forward towards your dreams and practice the Praising Principle.

Remember, your best is yet to come.

God Bless you,
