Philippians 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Righteousness has fruits. This implies that righteousness is a tree which produces fruits. When we came into Christ Jesus, we received the righteousness of God as a gift; and we became the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21).

The word “fruit” in Philippians 1:7 is from the Greek word “karpos” which according to Thayer means fruit, that which originates or comes from something, an effect, result, work, act, deed, advantage, profit etc. And from the scripture above, apostle Paul prayed that the Philippian church be filled with the fruits of righteousness. What a prayer! If you know what fruits of righteousness means you will appreciate the power of Paul’s prayer.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Whatever God starts in your life, He will finish it. The NIV translation puts the above scripture this way: Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

This means that whatever God has begun in your life, He will carry it on till completion; it implies bringing that thing to full maturity and fruition. In Christ, there are no miscarriages. The power to complete things is available through Christ.

FAITH IS THE ATMOSPHERE FOR THE MIRACULOUS

FAITH IS THE ATMOSPHERE FOR THE MIRACULOUS

Mark 6:5‭-‬6 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.‬

When Jesus ministered while He was on earth, those who believed received their miracles. In Nazareth, Jesus couldn’t perform many miracles except for a few healings. Why couldn’t He perform the miracles in Nazareth? The answer is that the atmosphere was not conducive for miracles – the people were deeply baptized in unbelief. Their unbelief short circuited the power of God.

The woman with the issue of blood got her miracle because she believed in Jesus. When she heard about the miracles that Jesus had performed, she gladly believed. And because she believed, she came in the press and touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and her blood condition for 12 long years was healed. She activated the miraculous.

Psalms 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet. And a light to my path. NKJV

Very often folks claim God spoke something to them. How can you be sure that what you heard was from God? What measuring line do we use to judge the voices that we hear? Not every voice you hear is from God. The devil also speaks. And he has led so many folks astray from the ways of God.

For instance, if you hear a voice that you should divorce your wife, is that from God? According to the scriptures, divorce is not from God thus that cannot be from God. If a prophet tells you that go and bring your gold or capital for business for him to sanctify it for you, you know that, that has no place in scripture; it cannot be from God.

ACT ON THE WORD

ACT ON THE WORD

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

When we put the word of God to work, we activate the inherent power in the word. The power in the word remains potential until we activate it. And as long as the power in the word is potential, we get nothing. Potential power does not bring about a change. What brings about motion and change is kinetic power or activated power.

To act on the word means to put the word of God to work; it also means to do the word. We have been called to be doers of the word and not hearers only. Those who act on the word are the ones who experience the power in the word.
