THE RICHES OF THE WORD OF GOD

For taking your time to study remain blessed.
WEDNESDAY 22nd September 

THE RICHES OF THE WORD OF GOD 
TEXT:  2 Timothy 3:14-17
Key verse:  Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and the word 
of His grace, which can build you up, and to give you an inheritance among 
all them which are sanctified.

The hearing of God's Word gives faith for salvation, sanctification, baptism with the Holy Spirit and other blessings of the gospel. When the Word of God is richly preached and taught, members of the congregation will know the Word, the knowledge of the Living God in His Trinity: the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Great are the benefits of the Word of God in our lives. Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psalm 19:7,11 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in the keeping of them there is great reward. Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee. John 8:30-32 As He spake these words, many believed in Him. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free

Believers need to be taught the doctrines of Scripture so that they may know what to believe, what to do and what not to do. It is the responsibility of the ministers of God to outline and teach these scriptural doctrines for all to know and obey them. Through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God, believers can know their privileges in the gospel and appropriate them by faith. As good as singing, a manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and other inspired activities are, they had limited place. The focus was given to the preaching and teaching of the Word of God. The charge Timothy was given is the charge the Lord has given to every true minister of the gospel in the church of Christ today. 1Timothy 4:11-12, These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Let the Word of God be richly preached and taught so that members of the congregation will know the Word. Every believer has the liberty also to search the scripture to preach, to teach and to exhort one another and to reach out to unbelievers as well. Make it a duty to study and search the Word of God. It inspires. Discover this hidden treasure.

Thought for the day: The word of God is more precious than gold and silver.
Song for the day: Read your Bible, Pray every day
Bible reading for the day: Song of Solomon 4-5; 2 Corinthians 13

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
