Nurture Your spirit With The Word
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith
which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect,
throughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
Every Christian needs to learn and understand
the Word of God; without studying the Word,
you’ll never know it. 1 Peter 2:2 says, “As newborn
babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye
may grow thereby.” You have to hear the Word; you
have to be taught, and then search the Scriptures for
yourself.
There’re people who know so much about
everything else, but know nothing about the Word
of God; and that’s terrible. The most important thing
about you is your spirit; that’s the real you. When
everything in this world is over, your spirit will live
on, which means your spirit is eternal. It’s therefore
important that the spirit is trained and nurtured by the
Word. Your spirit was recreated by the Word, and can
only be sustained by the Word.
The human spirit must be educated to know and
relate with spiritual verities. It’s one of the reasons
the teaching of the Word of God in the Church is so
important; it’s for the development of your spirit. If you
follow the teaching of the Word of God, and also have
times of personal meditation, your mind will surely
be enlightened, your spirit will be lifted, and you’ll be
strengthened in the things of God. More so, it’ll make
your spirit an accurate guide, because he’s able to
receive light from God; ideas and thoughts that’ll make
you creative and excellent in all you do.
Understand that the highest potential of the
human nature isn’t in the mind but in the spirit. So, keep
educating your spirit with the Word. Discipline yourself
to have, and follow, a very healthy and robust Word-
study programme, with definite times of meditation.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the opportunity and joy of being
inspired, taught, educated, trained, and nurtured in and
by the Word. I’m built up, strengthened, and energised by
your Word today, as always, for the ever-winning, victorious, and
triumphant life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
