Cook Your Chicken! Do the Word!

This raw chicken has all the potential of something tasty and nutritious but you must first prepare it , cook it and digest it before it will actually nourish your body and cure your hunger . 

This can be compared to the Word of God . When you receive the Word of God , whether it be through reading your bible , going to church , listening to a ministers message , whichever way, it comes to you in the "raw chicken" form - it is an essential stage , it has great potential , but there are things you must do with it before it is of any benefit to you. You can hear the 
Word of God time and time again and see no results - not because the Word does not work but because you didn't take the necessary steps. It's like leaving the chicken in it's raw state and then complaining that it has never nourished your body- its not the chicken that is the problem , its what you did with it . 

You must mediate on the Word of God , don't stop speaking the Word (Joshua 1:8) keep talking it , let it become you , let it be embedded firmly into your spirit - that way nothing can take it from you no circumstance can steal your revelation , let it become the only reality you acknowledge . Doing this is the same as the cooking process of the chicken , you are preparing the Word to be something that leads to your profiting , something that nourishes you and causes you to grow. Act on the Word that you hear, it is in your practical application of the Word you that your blessing lies (James 1:22) 

Some may wonder why when the attend so many church meetings and read their bible do they not see any results . Well its the same as an underweight person asking why am I not gaining any weight when I've been shopping so many times , my kitchen is full of food . Well the issue is you just sat in your kitchen and observed the food rather than actually cooking anything.
