Great Treasures in God’s Word
By Shirley R. Watts

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you ————– richly in all wisdom…”

(Col.3:16).

How can His Word dwell in you? You open His Book! Let God speak to you, take it into your heart, let it become part of your life.

Today, professing Christians are reading everything except the Word of God. They profess Christ, but continue to enjoy the things of the world, the flesh and the devil. It is called, “sin!” Why is this? They don’t study His word!!! They are backslidden.. .maybe lost! Christians do not choose to practice sin!!

Jesus Christ defeated Satan at the Cross! Most Believers do not know this. Satan has drawn many into his web of lies and are being deceived daily.

“Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it” (Ps. 119:140). Do you read God’s Word? Do you love it? How often do you pick up His Book? Are you depending on the pastor to keep you spiritually healthy? It will not happen!

There is no way a Christian can grow in Christ with a thirty minute snack twice a week. Much of the thirty minutes is junk food! We are to study His Word, seeking all the gold nuggets for our life here. How much time do you spend in His Word daily?

Christian, one day you will stand alone before Christ. (II Cor. 5:9-11). If you are born again, you need to open His Book daily. If you need answers to life situations, you will find the answer in His Book.

Are you hungry for Truth? Do you want to grow into the person you were created to be.. .then you must read His Word with prayer.

Imagine all Christians in Bible Study! This would bring a revival in our churches and land! Amen!

When we study, we find ourselves rejoicing in God. “I rejoice at your word As one who finds great treasure” (Ps. 119:162). If you don’t study—you find no treasure! A Believer who does not study the Word alone with God, where the Holy Spirit is able to teach them is missing out on fellowship with the Lord. Don’t let the devil steal that from you. Jesus said: We should live “by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God”…Jesus did!

It is in God’s Word that we experience peace, joy, and love. When you study His word you will find yourself breaking out into worship and in praise. “I will praise His word” (Ps. 56:10).

One must walk with the Lord through the Scriptures in prayer. “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth” (Jn. 17:17).

I have found that when I feel bad, I open up His Book. I begin to feel much better. The study of His word fades a headache away much faster than Tylenol and the side effects are great…a spiritual high! You praise Him! You are full of joy! Yes! You can get high on His Word and some have been accused of being drunk. What an exciting time that is!

Do you want stronger faith…pick up His Book!

“When I am afflicted…”! cry out to God. Do you? “Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word” (Ps 119:107; Ps. 119:50). When “my soul melts from heaviness;” I ask God to “Strengthen me according to Your word” (Ps. 119:28). His Word heals me!

God’s Word is powerful, after all “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made” (Ps. 33:6). The world doesn’t believe that, but that doesn’t change the fact. Amen!

I challenge you to get back to the Bible! Don’t lay it aside. Let’ have a Bible Revival! Let it begin with you and me! Stay in the Truth… God’s Word!

Share His Word… because “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17). It has life in it! His word is “living and powerful” (Heb. 4:12). The Word of God transforms lives every day! Yes, He still saves!

Be healthy! Studying His Word does the heart good!

And the people said, Amen! Praise the Lord for His Word!

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another…” (Col 3:16-17).

Be Revived! Study God’s Word!
