” What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?…Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”
James 2:14, 17
The problem with many believers is too much planning, and believing and no action. You can have a very good idea, you can even write it down and tell us about it, we can all agree that it’s the most brilliant idea anybody has ever had, we can even believe you will make success out of it ; but if you do not get the idea into motion, you will not have anything to show for it. Jesus did not just believe that Lazarus would rise from the dead, he went to the grave and called him forth. He put his feet to his faith. In Joinery, we do structural 3D designs for clients before we do them quotation or start construction of units. The 3D designs are demonstrations of possibilities and intentions, but they are just computer designs. You can’t carry the designs around and celebrate that you have a well decorated property. A client will have to pay before we begin to work and construct the units as specified by the computer generated designs. Many have received our designs but have not been able to pay for us to transform the images into reality.
There are lots of people with blueprints of success but zero action to it. Brothers and sisters, you don’t have to have more faith than you already have for you to start a business. All the people who are winning in certain areas of life didn’t really have to pray or learn about Faith, they just ACTED on whatever they believed.
The LORD JESUS in a parable, said ” And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.” Luke 16:8 An unjust a (wicked sinner) was commended for operating by right principles. You can be righteous but foolish. You shouldn’t be, but you can be if you ignore the wisdom of God. There is no person in the bible whom we are told, asking Jesus to pray for his business. We know Peter toiled all night and got nothing but he just gave his boat to Jesus and the LORD ministered back to him.I am not saying don’t pray about things but I am saying you necessarily don’t have to be praying for everything, you don’t have to fast and pray to marry someone, you can just soberly get involved in a relationship, the fear of getting a so called wrong partner is the problem. If all you do is pray, you will find your marriage in heaven because the bible says in Revelation 19:9 ” Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”
We live in a physical world that demands that you ACT by certain natural laws. Don’t just climb the mountain to fast and pray. Sometimes you just have to go street by street marketing your product. Yes, you have prayed, but the job is not going to just find you sleeping. Put to action the ideas you receive in prayer. The word of God is for doing, not hearing only. Shouting “Amen” alone does not get things done. Someone is saying, ” but can’t God just work miracles and all I do is to pray and command” , well ; it doesn’t work like that. Christianity is not foolishness, don’t just be a dreamer. Wake up and act on the dreams. The LORD JESUS is coming soon.
