Let It be “Richly”

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; – Col 3:16

It’s almost impossible for a Believer living in the free world today to be without the Word of God. Apart from the regular doses of sermons from the pastor, we have Bible Studies lessons, Sunday school classes, etc. Outside of church we still hear the word on the radio, on dedicated Christian channels, on the Internet and on Social Media (including our beloved WhatsApp).

But the preponderance of the word around us does not automatically mean we’re feeding healthily. Just as a toddler cannot be sustained perpetually by mama’s milk alone, we cannot leave our spiritual nourishment to publicly-distributed messages.

The Apostle Paul tells us in Col 3:16 that the Word should dwell in us “RICHLY”. That means our hearts should be so full of it that it becomes its defining characteristic.

So, eat the Word for yourself daily. Lay it thick, gorge on it, and make sure you’re fully stuffed with it. And as you do, your progress will appear to all (1Ti 4:15).

AMEN.

More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
