1) Bible intake :
No spiritual discipline is more important than the intake of God's Word .Nothing can substitute for it. There is simply no healthy Christian life apart from a diet of the milk and the meat of Scripture.
-Hearing Gods Word:
-Reading Gods Word:
There is no factor more influential in shaping a persons moral and social behavior than regular Bible reading. If you want to be changed, if you want to become more like Jesus Christ, discipline yourself to read the Bible.
How often do we need to read our Bible?
Well, how often do we face problems and temptation? EVERYDAY! Then how often do we need instruction and encouragement? EVERYDAY!
" A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough for the next 6 months,or take sufficient air into his lungs at one time to sustain life for a week. We must draw upon Gods boundless store of grace from day to day as we need it."
Discipline yourself to find the time to read your Bible.
Try to read at the beginning of your day.
-God tells us how to study His Word in Ezra 7:10
1.Devout yourselves
2.to the study
3.and observation of the Law of the Lord
4 .to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel .
The difference in studying the bible and reading it is simply a pencil and paper.
If your growth in Godliness were measured by the quality of your Bible intake, what would be the result? Your growth of Godliness is greatly affected by the equity of your Bible intake.
Memorizing Scripture Strengthens Your Faith!
Proverbs 22:17-19
"Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge, for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips. That your trust may be in the Lord , I have made them known to you today, even to you."
Scripture is like re-enforcing steel to a sagging faith.
Until verses are available to the heart, they are not available to the mouth...
.
Ephesians 4:29
"The Sword of the Spirit is His Word ".
The Word is the Sword of the Spirit, but the Holy Spirit cannot give u that weapon if u don't know it. Scripture is like a supply of swords ready for battle!!
Are you ready for battle??
