The Ball Is In Your Court – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional May 11th

(Use The Word To Set Things Right)

TO THE BIBLE: James 1:22
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

LET’S TALK
Jaden sat on the bench, hands clasped. “God, please fix this. I don’t know what to do.”
Alex glanced at him. “What if God already made a way?”
Jaden frowned. “Then why hasn’t anything changed?”
“Maybe because you’re waiting for Him to do what He’s already given you the power to do.”
Jaden hesitated. “So… what am I supposed to do?”

Alex smiled. “Speak to the situation; God already gave you the power and authority to do that.”

Did you know that, in the New Testament, it’s no longer about what God can do but what YOU can do? He made the change in Christ and gave us the dominion, the authority, and the power to change anything.

So it’s up to you today to make your life as glorious as you want it to be. The key is to act on, or apply, the Word of God.

A lot of people stay stuck because they’re waiting for God to step in and fix things. They pray, sing, and hope, thinking that one day, God will magically make a way.

But here’s the truth—He already did! Almost 2,000 years ago, He made a way, and when you were born again, He made you “the way.”

Think about it: God calls us saviours from Zion (Obadiah 1:21). He saved you and made you a saviour. Many of God’s children need to become more acquainted with this truth.

They’re inspired and excited to know what God can do, but they need to be more acquainted with what God says they can do.

The ball is in your court. The onus is on you to take action. How? By learning God’s Word and applying it.

When you look at Jesus’ life, He never told people to sit around and beg God for a solution. Instead, He gave us the keys.

He said, Speak to the mountain—solve the problem. Use your words. Speak with faith. Mark 11:23 puts it this way: “…assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for the authority and power you’ve given me to change any situation through your Word. I’m a doer of your Word, and with my faith-filled words I alter circumstances and cause them to align with your perfect will for my life. I apply your Word effectively in every circumstance, and I walk in victory always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
