Action Begets Action

Thursday 21 April
READ: 2 Sam. 22:26-27
MORE LESSON: 2 Chron. 1:1-12

It is only a doing that can give rise to another doing; in other words, it is an action that brings forth a commensurate reaction. If you want God to do great things for you, you must learn to do things that will excite Him. There are actions that provoke God into doing great things for a man; such actions are faith, righteousness, praise, prayer, sacrifice, obedience and doing His will; these actions stir God up to amazing reactions.
The text for today captures God's reaction to human action, ...with the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; with a blameless man, You will show Yourself blameless; with the pure You will show Yourself pure; and with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd: 2 Sam 22:26-27( NKJV).
We have seen in time past that there were things some men did in time past and God responded. So, it is what you do that determines what God does on your behalf. God is not a magician! He doesn't give anybody anything by chance. There is an expectation of God on you and He will respond. God has principles and it is when you do things according to His principles that a response is guaranteed from Him. For example, the Bible says, Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you: Matt 7:7 (NKJV). That is the law of action and reaction in operation. Asking is your action and giving is God's reaction, seeking is another action that elicits God's reaction. When you perform the action of knocking, God reacts by opening the door. This shows that for everything you need from God, there is a scriptural action that triggers God’s reaction of making that thing available. It is your responsibility to search, discover and perform the action that holds the key to your expectation from God.
In conclusion, 'doing begets doing' or 'action begets reaction'. In Biblical language, 'to beget' means to give birth; so it is a doing that gives birth to another doing; you have to do something before Heaven will do something in response. You can stir Heaven to do beyond what you have done. I want you to know that whatever you want to get from Heaven, if you can do your own part of the bargain, you will get what you want, And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee: 2 Chron. 1:6-7.
Don't watch your destiny waste, get doing something about your destiny and see God pick you up from there.
