BE A DOER

July 4, 2014

It is not just about what you know, it is about what you do with what you know. I have seen that one of the secrets of been blessed is to be a doer of what one knows. Les Brown is a blessed man today because he didn’t just acquire knowledge, he disseminates it and as a result people pay him. I do tell people that if you know and you don’t do, you are like the one that doesn’t know.

Wayne W. Dyer said, “A non-doer is very often a critic – that is someone who sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically about how the doers are doing. It is easy to be critic, but being a doer requires effort, risk, and change.” I think that is one of the reason why we have more critics than more doers. However, I realized that to be critiqued, it means you are doing something.

One of the secrets of Joseph’s rise to limelight I discovered was that he was a user of what he knew. He knew how to interpret dreams, he didn’t hide it, and he was interpreting dreams for free not knowing that would open him up to becoming a Prime Minister in a foreign land. Elijah was also a very great doer who didn’t just possess the knowledge of the power of God, but used it very well. Whatever good thing you know how to do, start doing it now.

Don’t just be a dreamer, be a doer. If no one is ready to pay you now, start doing it for free, someday soon, you will start charging a fee. Most importantly, be a doer of the word of God. That popular scripture says don’t be hearers alone but doers. Many of us know what the word of God says, but few of us do it and the scripture says in James 4:17 that, “to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
