Colossians 3:16 NKJV

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 NKJV

Why do we need the word of God to dwell richly in us?

This is an important question that we need to ask because if we can see the value and benefits, then we would go after His promises.

God's word gives life.

God's word creates and renews every area of our life.

God's word causes us to rise above every storm of life and causes us to stay in peace.

When we start to acknowledge that God's word gives us the greatest wisdom man can ever have, then all that we do will be in line with the perfect purpose of God.

Our teachings, our admonishing, our songs and everything we do would then be out of the seed of God that will never fail.

If we hold God's word as our compass for life, our journey would be very adventurous, fulfilling, meaningful and satisfying.

We all are very creative in our own way. Let our creativity be of the word of God through songs, hymns, meditation, teaching and preaching.

The more we can fill ourselves with the word of God, the more we will be enriched with God and the more we will see the manifestation of His power.

We need to bring God's word that we have heard, learned and meditated from our mind to our heart.

We will know that God's word has reached our hearts and have taken root when we see ourselves responding positively according to God's word.

Let's keep filling ourselves with God's word till all that is in our mind be established in our heart.

Blessings
