“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:15 (KJV)   For the last 5 days, I have taken the time to emphasize the place of the Word of God.

“Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.”  1 Timothy 4:15 (KJV)   In this passage of the scripture, Apostle Paul was encouraging Timothy to become a Word addict.

“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”  Psalms 1:3 (KJV)   Nothing can stop you from being successful in life when the Word of God becomes your anchor. Our text speaks of a specie of being who is like a tree...

"Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast" Psalms 33:8-9 (NKJV)   In the book of Proverbs 4:20, the wise man tells us to give attention to the Word of God. In other words, become addicted to the Word. When we talk of...

“The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send...

“Behold I would do a new thing, now it shall spring forth, shall ye not know it, I will even make a way in the wilderness and river in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)   Many believers are too satisfied with little.
