Rhapsody of Realities 23 October 2025: Work the Word
SCRIPTURE: Wherefore, my beloved… work out your own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).
In Christianity, that you’re born again doesn’t automatically mean you’ll live like a true Christian or experience the results of the Christian life. It doesn’t mean things will automatically start happening of their own accord; no! You have to make them happen. You have to work out your salvation. That means you have to put your faith to work; you have to practise the Word of God.
It’s the doer of the Word that experiences the blessings of salvation: “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” (James 1:22 & 25).
You have a life that’s superior to Satan, sickness, disease and infirmities—the divine life. You’re an associate of the God-kind: “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter 1:4). You hail from God: “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
Your origin is in God, and He lives in you. You must superimpose these realities upon the circumstances of life. That’s where your knowledge of the Word and meditation comes in. You have to know and meditate on the Word for yourself. Through meditation, the realities in the Word and the truths within your spirit are brought into your consciousness. They become real and tangible to you.
Also, through conscious meditation on the Word, you make your way prosperous, create your victories, and deal wisely in the affairs of life: “This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it 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 shall deal wisely and have good success” (Joshua 1:8 AMPC).
There you have it: your glorious and prosperous life isn’t up to God but up to you. He’s given you His Word which is what you need to live supremely blessed, walk in dominion and enjoy the full benefits of salvation. But you must work the Word; act on it to produce in and for you what it talks about.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the divine life you’ve given me. I live in the consciousness of who I am in Christ. I superimpose your Word over my thoughts, my body, and my daily circumstances. I walk in divine health, peace and victory every day because I live from the awareness of your indwelling presence and the power of the Spirit in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
James 1:22-25
22 But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].
23 For if anyone only listens to the Word without obeying it and being a doer of it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror;
24 For he thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and promptly forgets what he was like.
25 But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience).
Romans 12:2
2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
1 Timothy 4:15
15 Practice and cultivate and meditate upon these duties; throw yourself wholly into them [as your ministry], so that your progress may be evident to everybody.
