What You Say is What You Get

The young man stood in front of his pastor

With his head bent down.

“I tried my level best to get a job in this place, pastor

But it just doesn’t come through.

I need to go back home now as I cannot manage on my own here, any longer.”

“Do you believe that God is bigger than your problems?” pastor asked him

“Oh! Yes I do.” He replied.

“What is the key God has given you in the scriptures?”

Mark 11:23 KJV                

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

“When you are faced in an overwhelming situation, continued pastor

And the problem is standing like a mountain in front of you 

What does God tell you to do, speak to that mountain (problem) first?

Decree / command it. Second.

Have no doubt in your heart, third.

Believe that those words which you have spoken will come to pass. Fourth, follow the instructions as given in the Word and come back and meet me, son.” Said pastor

 He shook hands with the young man and watched him slowly go

Looking up to heaven, pastor said

“Father God, I pray as it is written in your scriptures

“So is my word that goes out from my mouth —
it will not return to me unfulfilled;
but it will accomplish what I intend,
and cause to succeed what I sent it to do. Isaiah 55:11 CJB

In a weeks’ time the man was back

Beaming from ear to ear

“What happened?” Pastor asked, anticipating good news

“I kept speaking to my situation, even though my head and heart had a hard time believing

I had roamed this city a thousand times and I knew it was impossible to get a job with the current depression in the market.

But nevertheless, I just followed your instructions.

I ran into my old friend who took me to his boss

And he employed me...

“Can you believe it I got a job in six days?

Pastor held him by the shoulder

“Well done! My son, hope you have clearly understood now.

Meditate and apply God’s word in your life and watch the miracles which enfolds.”
