Growing In The Word

As we follow Jesus, we grow in our personal relationship with God. One of the clearest ways to know God more is to know His word, the Bible. As disciples, we need to know that the Bible isn't just a suggestion for some of us, it's crucial for each one of us. If we follow Jesus, then we believe all that's in here! The word of God is a guide for our whole life and "a lamp unto our feet" so we know where to walk. It is God-breathed, and it holds the keys to our life. However, we need to ask God to keep us from seeing the Bible as just a religious duty, chore or a daily checklist to get through. To grow in the word of God, we gotta position ourselves to be moulded by what we read or hear. “Don’t read the word to master it, read the word to be mastered by it.” Ooft. When we understand that we should read the word of God to be transformed by it, then we will start seeing God move in our lives through His Word. Now more than ever, God is looking for a generation who know His word and who are hungry to grow in it. Are you that person? 100% the answer is YES. Here are some practical things you can do today and every day to grow in the word of God: 1. Find a place you can focus to read or listen. 2. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit for revelation (the word of God is alive and active) 3. Think (meditate) on what you have read. 4. Write down your thoughts. 5. Be intentional, step out, obey God. 6. Memorize it. 7. Pray and declare the word. Now, as you do these things, watch your life be transformed through the word of God!
