Category: 1. EAGERNESS FOR GOD’S WORD.

“1 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the  Lake of Gennesaret,”

The thirst for God’s word in Christianity is very rare these days. Believers have develop the ‘over familiarity’ attitude with God’s word. The eagerness to Know, Hear and Read God’s word is no more. We go to church to dance, sing and chat with friends but the eagerness for God’s word is no more. The word comes to us but we are not ready to receive it, how eager are you for God’s Word?

From our studied chapter, Jesus was locating a good position in order to satisfy the hunger of the people for God’s word. The scripture said, “they press around to hear the word of God”. They were so thirsty for the word of God. This made Jesus to begin the searche for a podium to be able to teach the crowd and satisfy their longing for God’s word. 

When going to the place of worship, do you go there to hear the word? Are you ready to do the word or you are there to criticise the word? When the word comes and reveal our sins to us how do we receive it? Jeremiah said, “Your words were found, and I ate them,” how often do we eat God’s word? We rather screen God’s word and select what pleases us. Most men of God try to preach selective words in order not to hurt the financial of the church. Where do you belong? Are you interested in God’s word or other activities in His presences? Do you have the time to open God’s word daily?

Joshua 1:8,

“8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall  meditate in it day and night, that you may  observe to do according to all that is written in it.  For then you will make your way prosperous, and  then you will have good success.”
