What good does reading of the Bible does to a person?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
I am glad to once again greet every one of you, dear readers of „Daily Word of Spiritual Edification”! The Lord is especially kind to us today, and His mercies are renewed this morning. May God abundantly bless you today!It says in the Bible that in the beginning there was the Word. The Word of God is the instrument of God’s blessing. God’s Word is the only link to the invisible world. God is in heaven, and we are on the earth. The only ways for us to connect with Him is to learn His Word and to act using it as the grounds. This is the only way how we can release His power into our lives, and then His wisdom will fill our lives. Everything God has He has comprised in His Word. When we use it, it dissolves within us. If we treat is as our text book, then we are able to obtain interesting information about the events of the past. But that is not all: Jesus told the Pharisees to study the Scripture, because it testifies of Him. There is no other testimony of God – just the Holy Scripture.
«You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life» (John, 5:39-40).
Jesus told Pharisees that even though they searched the Scripture they still did not come to Him to obtain life. You can search the Scripture, even worship it, but not come to God. There is no need to read the Bible only to get new information about God. We need to read the Bible and go to God through it so that He would give us life.Praise God for God’s Word! Praise God for the Holy Spirit Who opens our spiritual eyes when we read the Word.Before my conversion, I often read the Bible, but I did not understand a thing, I did not receive from it; I just saw some interesting stories there. But at the time there were people among my acquaintances who were admiring the Bible; I could not understand the reason of this adoration. They advised me to read the Bible more and more, but I could not understand what the point was. Today, you know, there are many believers that do not understand why they need to read their Bible daily. They have read the whole Bible several times and believe that is enough. Before the conversion I thought the same.When I got saved and the Holy Spirit came into my life, the Word of God came alive for me and within me. I started seeing the importance of God’s Word. I realized that without it I won’t know how to live. Praise God for His Word!What good does reading of the Bible does to a person?
«All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…» (2 Timothy, 3:16).
It is written that God’s Word is profitable for reproof. What is reproof? Reproof is when you are showed when you are being wrong. Quite often you and I are wrong; we need to be corrected by the Word of God.But the Bible not only corrects us; it also teaches us. The Bible disciplines and edifies us. The Bible helps us to realize how we can our lives and where to start.Every time when we read the Bible with the right attitude and in the right spirit, it corrects and edifies us, arms and prepares us to be profitable in the hands of God. God changes us through His Word.Allow God to help you through His Word. God’s Word is the Father’s letter to you, full of love and good intentions. Let the Word of God become a daily necessity to you, and your life will change. The Word will help you to learn your talents and to use them correctly. Tomorrow we will continue to talk about the talents God has given us.God bless you!Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    One of the reasons God allows suffering in the lives of His children is that He desires to draw our attention to Himself, to correct and discipline us. We know that God mostly corrects us by His Word: «All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work» (2 Timothy, 3:16-17).

    The God´s word says we are pilgrims and aliens, therefore, do your best to see your selves as such. Doing so we will take after people seeking heavenly home, those who desire not to return to the place they have exited, rather longing for something better, namely, heaven. God is not ashamed of those who are filled with hope of salvation. He is gladly calls Himself their God, for He has prepared a city for them – a shelter to stay in safety during the storm, flood or hunger. God has prepared comfort everlasting and obvious victory for their souls.

  • How to effectively study the Bible II

    Sometimes one word in the Bible can be followed as a thread throughout all of the pages of the Book.I once sat down to write a letter to a brother. I prayed and asked God to help me write not just words, but to make it a blessing for this person. As I was writing, I noticed that I had started preaching in the letter. Later I put it aside, because one word had totally consumed my attention. I began to study this word in the Bible. I began studying the phrases like “God is able” and „God can”. I started reading all the verses that contained these phrases. It was so interesting that I totally forgot about the letter. The study of particular Bible words can be very interesting and profitable.

    1. God changes us through accountability.In order to change us, God often subordinates us to a person we have to give an account to. A person without responsibility is blind to see his own level of arrogance, rebellion and selfishness he has to get over. Accountability is a kind of protection from misbelief and self-deception for us.

    “For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.”These verses remind us that we have been saved in the hope. When you go through pain, you cannot lose hope.

    Let Him talk to your heart today. We keep on talking about how we can experience God´s presence, power and His mercy in our life. Yesterday we stated that constant fellowship with God is mandatory in order to experience these things. We quoted many verses from Scripture telling us that people who love God have obvious advantages. For such people God has prepared many pleasant surprises and all things together work for good in their lives and God Himself appears to them.«We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.» (Romans 8:28).
