How Often Do You Read?

There’s this little Sunday school song:

“ Read your Bible Pray every day,

Pray everyday, Pray everyday,

and you’ll grow grow grow

Don’t read your Bible,

Forget to pray

And you shrink shrink shrink”

Nothing can be more accurate than this little song. Sunday a minister came from Venezuela and shared the most accurate word to us. Reading our bible. What makes the difference between a believer and a Disciple. I must admit, that I’m guilty of not reading my Bible sometimes. But I’ve learnt that not reading is opening up an opportunity for the Devil to work in your life. When we are sad and depressed sometimes and think Why am I going through this Pain, sometimes its only because we left the door open for Satan to work in our lives.

The minister shared 5 simple steps.

    Read

    Hear

    See

    Memorize

    Mediate on all above.

If we read our bible, listen to the word, then we can see what God has to say. We then memorize his scriptures, and meditate on all the above. In this way, the devil can have no grip on Us. When we stand for the truth of Jesus Christ, The devil has no hold on our lives. He cannot snatch us out of our Father’s hand. We stand secure and strong in Our Lord and Saviour. But all it takes for us to do is to meditate on God’s Word. To read our bible.

Have you ever read an entire book that was not the bible?

Have you ever read the entire bible in all your years of going to church? ( I’m guilty of this :/ )

If you haven’t how do you know, If what is said in the Bible is the truth?

How do you know and experience the Holy Spirit – for sure the Holy spirit isn’t lazy. Then why are we lazy to share God’s word. Why are we lazy to read his Word?

Sometimes we just have to forget about getting the church filled. What makes the difference between believers and Disciples is that, disciples give God their ALL. They go out to the lost ones. Not just try to bring them to Church. They GO OUT INTO THE WORLD TEACHING AND PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF TRUTH. TEACHING TRUTH. NOT DOCTRIN, BUT THE TRUTH. The truth is the Lord Jesus.

When we sign up for Salvation, there isn’t a contract or listing for the things we like such as, “I like speaking in tongues, or I’d like the gift of prophesy, or I’d like the holy spirit, but I don’t want to evangelize – that’s too hard, or I don’t want to talk to random people cause they might be smelly”  No, Go out there. That’s what God’s calling you to do. You can’t just tick what you like, and expect to Grow. You have to bear fruits. Otherwise, if God has to take you out of his plan, so that his work can be done, he surely will do it!

This contract that you have signed on for (Speaking to all Christians out there) is not on your terms. It’s on God’s terms. Don’t allow yourselves to be held accountable for not carrying out God’s plan. It’s time to get out of your comfort zones. Become uncomfortable, so that a soul can be saved.

This word had blessed my heart. It tells me how much I have to work on my relationship with God. How can I fight spiritual battles and not know scriptures. Even when Jesus was tempted by satan, He used Scriptures, not the words out of his mouth, but he quoted Scriptures. Its ok to know that you are falling short of reading your bible, don’t get all defensive, because even I am guilty. I have much work to do. But I encourage you out there. Experience what God has for you. Seek out God’s vision. His Plan. Do the work that he has called you to do!

Just as this word has blessed my heart, I really hope that it has blessed yours. I hope you all have been encouraged, and Inspired.
