Joshua 1:7-9, Acts < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>19:11, 1 Corinthians 11:1                                     

Meditation is what will bring forth imitation. There is song that says, ÒI want to be like Jesus.Ó Who do you want to be like? It is not enough singing it, but living daily by His word is what will make you like Jesus. Joshua 1:8, ÒThis book of law shall not depart  from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have a good success.Ó It is not possible for you not to imitate what you meditate. The word says that with meditation you will be observing every step you take so you can do according to what the word says. When doing the word becomes constant and consistent, your behavior and action will not be different from that of the Word Himself. It was recorded that Paul worked miracles. Acts 19:11, ÒGod worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul.Ó Paul was imitating Jesus because he was exposed to all His word. Paul walked the walk and he also worked His works. He was speaking from a depth of understanding when he requested in 1 Corinthians 11:1, ÒImitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.Ó As a believer, pastor, teacher of the word, are you bold enough, by virtue of your work to ask anyone to imitate you just as you imitate Christ? It is not impossible to imitate Him if you are walking His walk and working His works. Know whom you believe.
