Give the Word of God attention in your Life - Pst Chris

 Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your
hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach
and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and
wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts
(Colossians 3:16 AMP).

The opening verse is telling you to have the Word in your spirit in
abundance. As you study the Word, meditate on it! Mutter, and speak
forth the Word!

Sometimes, when you come to church and hear the Word being taught, not
many people realize what’s really going on. Yes, they’re hearing
someone speak inspiring words of blessing, but it’s much more than
that! There’s a ministry of the Word going on at such times; your
spirit is being built, strengthened, and energized! You’re being
stirred in your spirit to see and apprehend your next level of glory.
Suddenly, you realise that your potentials are limitless, and your
possibilities, infinite.

That’s why you must always be eager and passionate about God’s Word;
have a rich appetite for the Word, and go for it voraciously. The more
of the Word you have in you, the more glorious your life is. The Word
brings you wisdom. The Bible says the scriptures are able to make you
wise unto salvation (2 Timothy 3:15). That means the Word gives you
wisdom that’s consistent with God’s salvation; you become sagacious,
astute and exceptional; never confused and always unperturbed! Those
around you—your colleagues, neighbours, friends, loved ones and
associates—will notice your extraordinary amplitude of comprehension
and revelation that makes you know what to do, and how to deal
excellently always.

Never ignore the Word. Someone may say, “Well, this part of the Bible
isn’t interesting, so I’ll just skip it.” It doesn’t have to be
interesting; just give it your attention. God never promised to make
the Word interesting to us; He commanded us to give the Word our
attention, and that’s what you must do. Get the Word into your spirit;
digest it into you, with the understanding that, as you do, you’ll
become several steps wiser than before; your abilities will increase
to do and accomplish more for the Lord!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the efficacy of your Word in my spirit!
I’m built up by the Word of your grace, and catapulted to the realms
of glory, walking in my inheritance in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
