God blesses those who read His Word

“Blessed is he that readeth” Revelation 1:3 

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and READ.” Isaiah 34:16

YES God’s people are to “study” His Word and how else to do such than to begin by “READING” His words? 2 Tim 2:15

“Till I come, give attendance to READING, to exhortation, to doctrine.” 1 Timothy 4:13 

“Bless is he that READETH ….” Revelation 1:3

Years ago I found that if I don’t get up early to read God’s Word and spend quality moments in prayer first and foremost, it will never happen. God must be put first and this requires ruthless discipline.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

Reading all of God’s Word is the priority of ever astute follower of Jesus.

There’s no way to learn God’s Word other than reading it yourself (2 Timothy 2:15) God gave you His Word in tangible format in order for you to learn of Him from Him and by Him. Those who leave it to others to teach them God’s Word are self-deceived and will be misled by those they depend on to teach them the Bible.

GOD’S WORD

“Presently, I am in 1 Kings, reading all the way through the Bible again, and also reading through Revelation backwards.

“In 1 Thessalonians reading through the Bible.” Jason

“I am reading Mark.” Michele

“Philippians—Paul’s letter in prison—and joy.” Joe

“I Been Reading James And 1st An 2nd Peter This Week.” Connie

“Working my way through 1 Sam (ch 14 finished now) Psalms 77 and John chapter 4 finished. Trying to read through in 6 months. I enjoy listening (KJV on YouTube) while I read also.” Nathan

Biblical Case Against Naivety

Ignorance and Gullibility are a Curse “The simple (silly, seducible, foolish) believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.” Proverbs 14:15 Are you silly or savvy? Concerning the most important Book in the world, are you ignorant or intelligent? ALL who remain too lazy to diligently study God’s Word for themselves prove they do not love Christ or truth and will be sent “strong delusion” and “damned.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) “Destroyed for Lack of Knowledge” In the days of Hosea the prophet and today, there are many who claiming to know the LORD and yet are void of the […]

God's Word always accomplishes that for which he sends it forth #christianity #motivation #god

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 In ministry many times we get to thinking it’s OUR duty to EXPLAIN the Scriptures, the Word to people. Not. First and foremost our God-given duty is to teach and “preach the word” – thereby getting into the hearts of the people so GOD can teach them. It would be better to simply read pure Scripture than to just be […]

Church History or the Scriptures? [podcast]

Beware of those who without saying it outright, place church history on the same level as the Holy Scriptures. Such men are false (Matthew 23). We get our view, perspective, knowledge, and understanding of God via His own Word. Everything else is secondary, every extra-biblical source, is unnecessary, and can be a diversion. Beware saints. Many today have a skewed understanding of Scripture because instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to teach them His pure truth through the study of His Word, they’ve researched and studied what mere men have stated about the Bible. This they did instead of studying […]
