I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have given me life. Psalm 119:92-93 NKJV
I listened to a man of God teach the topic ‘Overcoming by the Word’. He enumerated some of the benefits that come from putting God at the centre of our lives, amongst other fiery facts.
I will like to share some of the key points I took from the message that evening. There’s no way you can be an overcomer if you are not one who is ready to live by the Word God. And to do that we must consciously strive to become Word addicts.
Becoming a Word addict is important but not so easy. Have you ever experienced any of these?
That it’s the time you schedule for personal Bible Study that something PRESSING always finds its way to your mind.
It’s easier to read a 1000 word count post on social media and even comment but when you want to read your Bible, a whirlwind of sleep just blows across your room 😄.
The simple mystery (yes, mystery) is in Galatians 5:17- For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
If we wait for that time when the physical man will consent to the pursuit of the things of God, then we’ll never grow in our walk with God. We must get resolute; take it by force...set new rules for ourselves. The Pastor suggested ‘No Bible, no breakfast’ as one of the ways. You can decide to make yours one chapter per lunch break. Anyhow, but take action!
You can consciously cut down on Social media. If we chart our time, you’ll be surprised to see how much time actually goes in to some of these platforms.
A friend told me how he removed his sim from his Tab so that study time will not be interrupted by text or calls. Great move!
Action Point
Get resolute about studying your Bible. Give it priority.
