Topic: Be Consistent
Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever. – Hebrews 13:8
Years ago, God spoke a phrase to Gloria’s heart that I’ve never forgotten. She’d been asking Him to teach her to walk in the spirit, to operate more fully in the supernatural power of God.
In consistency lies the power, He said.
That revelation was tough for me. In the natural, I’m anything but consistent. My human nature tends to be up one day and down the next. But, praise God, I don’t have to depend on my human nature to get me by. I have Jesus Christ living within me, and He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever!
Jesus isn’t fickle. He doesn’t change His mind from one day to another. He’s constant, and if you press into Him, He can cause you to be that way, too.
Most believers don’t do that. That’s why there are so many “faith failures” around. They stand on the Word one day and fall off it the next.
What we need to do is “continue.” Jesus said if we continued in His Word, we’d be His disciples. He said if we’d continue, we would know the truth, and that truth would make us accessible (John 8:31-32). There’s a revelation of God that comes from consistency that the inconsistent person will never see.
Determine today to be consistent. Don’t try to base today’s lesson on yesterday’s Bible study. Base today on today’s Bible study. Start with the Word today, stay on the Word all day, and end the day with the Word. Then tomorrow, get up and do it all again!
There’s power in constant consistency. So don’t be an “off again, on again” Christian. Continue in the Word every day.
Scripture Reading: Colossians 1:14-23
