BE FULL OF THE WORD

“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.” (Colossians 3:16 KJV)
Beloved, what you feed will grow. Our text admonishes us to ensure that the Word of Christ dwells in us “richly”. This means that you must be full of the Word, such that when pressures come, it is the Word that you have stored that automatically comes out. Take this to the bank, it is either you are feeding your spirit, or you are feeding your flesh. Whichever one you feed, is the one that will rule and control your life. Do not allow laziness to stop you from feeding your spirit, that will be to your detriment. You must be intentional and brutal about your growth and development.
Beloved these are not the days to be careless about how you live your life. You must have a place where you sit down to glean from, if not, the enemy will pluck out your eyes. There is so much happening in the society today, and all of these are the enemy’s tricks to keep you from being still enough to listen. If he can keep you away from sitting down to receive from God, then he has got you. It is only from God that you receive hope, faith, strength, and courage for everyday living.
God has all the answers you would ever need to whatever life throws at you. Therefore, take a quality decision to sit at His feet. Come early to services. Every aspect of the service is important, and you never know when He will meet you. Do not put God on a schedule, or timetable; Martha probably did that. According to her, food should have been served first before every other thing, but Jesus thought otherwise. He is the sovereign God! As you make these adjustments, I pray that the light of God will flood your life. You will know what to do at every point in time. You will not be confused, and you will never be stranded.
