Living in the kingdom of God offers many benefits, but to access them, we must prioritize doing things God's way. God has a specific formula for success in the kingdom, and if we follow it, we will see consistent results. This requires renewing our minds and being willing to do things differently, as God's method of operation is different from the world's.
The first step in this formula is speaking God's word. Many times, people have faith in their hearts but fail to release it because they don't actually say what God has said. Speaking God's word is crucial to getting results in the kingdom. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and if we don't speak, we can't create. Keeping God's word in our mouths at all times is vital because of the creative power of words. Hebrews 10:23 says, "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering." Our "profession" is our confession, or what we profess from God's word. We should make this a continual practice, as instructed by the apostle Paul. Continually speaking God's word through regular confessions also repels the enemy. Satan cannot stand against a believer who has a revelation of the power of speaking scripture.
The second step in God's formula is meditating on God's word. Meditation is simply pondering, considering, and muttering God's word. When we meditate on God's word, it expands our capacity for faith and transforms our ability to believe and receive. By meditating on the word, we fix our minds and set our hearts on the desired result we are seeking. Psalm 1:1-3 says that the man who is empowered to prosper is the one who meditates on the word day and night. Joshua 1:8 also states that meditating on the word makes our way prosperous.
The third step in God's formula is acting on God's word. Faith without works is dead, which means it's not enough to simply hear the word and believe it, but we must also act on it to reach our destination. Faith is a practical expression of our confidence in God and his word. Christians should not get preoccupied with the spiritual side of things and neglect to do anything practical in the natural realm. When God speaks a word, whether through scripture or a rhema word spoken to the heart, it requires some type of corresponding action on our part.
In conclusion, God's formula for success is fail-proof. Speaking the word releases faith, meditating on it builds the image of it inside of you, and stepping out on what the word says connects you to the promised manifestation. The result is success and absolute victory in every area of your life!
