Benefits of God's Word


Colossians 3:16, John 8:31-32
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. *… If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

In 1Timothy 4:15, Apostle Paul told Timothy that if he gave himself wholly to God's Word, his profiting would appear to all. In other words, God's Word would benefit Timothy and those benefits would be openly manifested. In the same way, the benefits will start from your inside and will flow to your outside. One of the first effects God's Word will have on you is that your mindset will begin to change. Your mind will be renewed and you will start experiencing transformation in your life, Rom.12:2. You will find it easier to think God's thoughts. Your faith and peace of mind will continue to grow and increase, Psa.119:165.

God's Word will become more real to you. From your mind, the way you talk will also start becoming affected. From the abundance of God's Word in your heart, your mouth will speak. You will speak with a different consciousness – a Word of God based consciousness. You will begin to talk more like God. Your prayer life will also be influenced, John 15:7. You will be more confident and you will begin to pray more according to God's will, 1John 5:14. The Word of God in your heart and mouth will certainly affect your actions. You will love God's ways more and you will walk in more of God's truth and righteousness. You will also grow in your godly character, Psa.119:9. God's Word will increasingly guide your path and your steps. Do not be discouraged if you do not yet see any or all of these benefits in your life. Rather, deliberately decide to take out time to study God's Word more and desire to keep growing in your study of God's Word. As you do so, your profiting will appear to all.

PRAYER FOCUS: Receive God's grace to keep filling yourself with more of His Word.
