Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Most church people are too shallow and presumptuous . They read a scripture one time and rejoice ... they think they have it.
I kept Psalm 1 and Joshua 1:8 before me daily for several years ...
I read it many times daily ... though I could quote it by memory, I
read it again and again to keep me thinking of the way to go. (I'm going
to try to do this again now.)
Look
at what is likely to happen if you read a scripture one time and rejoice
in that scripture and go on your way on this earth.
Mk 4 ... 14 The sower soweth the word.
15
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when
they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that
was sown in their hearts.
16
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when
they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 And
have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time:afterward, when
affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they
are offended.
18 And these
are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the
cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of
other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
You have to work to cause the word planted in you to take deep root ... otherwise circumstances of life can pull that word out and make it of none effect.
Here is the way you cause it to take deep root in you.
Joshua 1... 8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is written therein:for then thou shalt make thy way
prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Take that word God has given you and you keep it before you day and night and think on that word day and night. That enables you to get strong enough to do
that word. After you do that word, faith in God, in HIS Word,
increases ... and you prosper and have good success in all that you do.
You
never stop this pattern of life. As long as you live on this earth,
you do Joshua 1:8 daily. Then you will prosper in all that you do.
Also you have to do Psalm 1 ...
1 Blessed is the man
that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
You can't stand in the counsel of the ungodly ... nor the way of sinners ... not the seat of the scornful.
Why do you want to hear what these people would tell you?
The important thing is what God would tell you. That is life to us.
TV
news ... thoughts brought to us by worldly people as they visit and
tell their tales based on TV, newspapers and vanity of their own hearts
... how is that good for us? That is not the way to success and prosperity.
The way to success and prosperity is to meditate on the word of God day and night and to do what God tells you to do.
We have to work at it daily.
Then
it becomes our greatest joy to awaken in the morning and see what God
would speak to us that morning. We joyfully look at scripture as a man hunts a
treasure buried in a field. And that man goes and sells all that he has
and buys that treasure for he knows it is worth more than anything else
that exists.
This is the way we come to live every day.
