Topic: A Magnet of Insight [Sunday July 23, 2017]
Scripture: Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 1 Timothy 4:13,15
Thought For The Day: Where there is no interest, there can be no insight.
From our anchor scripture, we see that the Word of God is calculated for the evidential profit of God’s people. If you have been in contact with the Bible for twenty years for example, then you are twenty years in contact with Divine profit.
It is an abomination to carry the Bible without a profit to show for it. You should come to a level where what you are seeing out of scripture is reflected on you as evidential profit for your generation to see.
The question is why is it that the Word does not produce profit in the lives of many?
Psalms 119:130 gives us the answer: The entrance of thy words giveth light….
It is not the reading, the memorization, or the hearing of the Word alone that gives light; what gives light is the entrance of the Word. It is not the Word you read that changes you but the Word that enters you. The smell of food does not cure hunger; the food must enter the body system and be digested.
So, let us look at one of the things to do for the Word to enter us.
Be interested in the Word.
Hosea 6:1-3 says, Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: That is, we shall know if we are interested in knowing. So, where there is no interest, there can be no insight. Interest brings insight.
Beloved, crave to know and do God’s Word. Let your soul and spirit be involved when you study, hear or read the Word of God for the guarantee of your profit.
Remember this: Where there is no interest, there can be no insight.
Assignment(s):
1. Be passionate about knowing God’s Word.
2. Meditate on the Word of God; make demands on the Holy Spirit to reveal the hidden things in the Scripture to you.
3. Have a consistent schedule for the study of the Word.
