(Act On The Word To Effect The Changes You Desire)

TO THE BIBLE: Exodus 14:15-16 NKJV
“And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”

LET’S TALK
A young child once stood at the door of his father’s study, crying because the jar of cookies on the table seemed out of his reach. He kept calling for his father to come and get it for him.

The father, however, calmly replied, “Stretch out your hand; you’re tall enough to take it.” And with that encouragement the boy reached out, and, to his amazement, he could take what had been his all along!.

Many of God’s children today live like this. They cry, plead, and even fast for God to do what He has already empowered them to do. They pray endlessly, not realising that God is waiting for them to act on the Word and exercise their authority in Christ.

Consider the account of Moses and the children of Israel at the Red Sea. Pharaoh’s army advanced from behind, and the waters loomed before them.

In desperation, the people cried, and Moses himself began to call upon God for intervention. But God’s response was instructive: “Why do you cry to Me? … stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it” (Exodus 14:15–16 NKJV).

The miracle was waiting—not on God, but on Moses. The power was present all along, but nothing happened until Moses acted. When he stretched out his hand and spoke in faith, the waters parted, and Israel walked through on dry ground.

Beloved, God has given you His Word, His Spirit, and the authority of the Name of Jesus. Don’t wait for Him to do what He’s already done or what He’s empowered you to do.

The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, unveils the principle in 1 Corinthians 2:12–13 NKJV: “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak…”

Did you notice? It says, “We speak.” The Word works when you declare it. Faith is activated when you voice what God has said concerning you. Refuse to be a hearer only; be a doer of the Word (James 1:22).

Go Deeper:
Luke 5:4-6; Romans 10:8

Speak:
I’m a doer of the Word, not a hearer only. My faith-filled words release divine power and cause circumstances to align with God’s perfect will for my life. As I act on the Word, I walk in continuous victory, unending progress, and ever-increasing glory. I live in the reality of my inheritance in Christ, enjoying the fullness of His blessings today and always. Hallelujah!
