“Give Attendance To Reading”
Sunday, November 3, 2024Key Verse
“Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.” 1 Timothy 4:13
Text — 1Timothy 4:11-16
Message
Someone once said “If you want to hide something from some people, put it in a book.” This is very true these days and it cuts across not only a group of people, but also anyone who does not like to read or study. Just as people who don’t like to read are ignorant of a lot of things within and around them, the devil also wants friends of Jesus to be lazy in reading their Bible so as to make them ignorant, powerless and easy targets for oppression.
The Lord Jesus Christ, our Perfect Example, read what had been written about Him to establish that He had come to fulfil the scriptures. He made His mission of preaching the gospel, healing the sick, delivering the oppressed known in the temple. You cannot afford to be lazy when it comes to reading. The more you read, the more things you know. The more you read the Bible, the more the light of God shines on your path and illuminates your soul. Make up your mind to develop your reading culture!
Remember, readers are leader
