The Profitable Book

 

Text: Hebrews 4:2 (KJV)

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

If I asked you, have you ever read a book either, be it a novel, a storybook, or a textbook? Everyone will say yes. Again if I ask, did your book give you any profit? Some of you will say yes, but if I ask you, did you ever read the most profitable book in the world with the Holy Spirit as your teacher? I wonder what your response will be. The truth is the word of God is not a storybook, but it is the most profitable book in existence in this world. It is God’s instructional manual, and it is needed for a profitable lifestyle; we are meant to feed on it on a daily basis. It is also a summary of wisdom from God, and it gives direction. Its content cannot be compared with any other book in this world as it is loaded with diversities of gain. The amazing part is that when you dwell and abide by it, it makes your life very exciting and profitable with tangible proof. Isn’t it amazing? In Joshua 1:8- This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. We see that the act of meditating on it both day and night makes us to have so much profit and its profit has physical evidence (which is good success- it is not an anyhow success but a peaceful and good success).

There are lots of valuables and goodies from the BIBLE, but many are still living without any profit. This is not right; we need to change that pattern. The fact is the moment you taste this book, you start to have a profit in all of your endeavours. The wonderful part is that it is inexhaustible and it keeps having power from generation to generation. To be frank, it even makes you spiritually fat. Once you have your mind focused on it and you are not double-minded, you will end up tasting its sweetness. James 1:7- A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Its contents are beautiful and pure. Psalms 12:6-The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. So why not try it today and see its proof manifest in your life. Remember the God we serve is a PROFITABLE MANUFACTURER.

PRAYER POINTS:

1.Father, may I always taste and hunger for your profitable word for an impactful living in Jesus name.

2. Oh Lord, may I begin to enjoy the profit from the word of God as a believer in Jesus name.

3. Father, whatever we have lost as a result of ignorance of the profit in the bible, we recover all, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Can you point out the physical gain you are enjoying because of this profitable book? If yes, share your testimony. If no, why don’t you read the Bible today?
