But why is it that the word does not produce profits in the lives of many? This is because it is possible for someone to hear the word with one ear and it goes out through the other. It is not the word you read or listen to that changes you, but the word that enters your spirit. The word of God is calculated for the profit of his people, your contact with the word, therefore, is contact with profit. There is profit in accessing the word of God, you don't access profit from God's word by just reading and memorizing it. The word of God must not just remain in your mind or brain, but sink into your spirit for it to profit you well. It is not the word you read or listen to that changes you, but the word that enters your spirit. ISAIAH 48:17. Thus saith the lord, thy redeemer, the holy one of Isreal; I am the lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. For example a smell of food cannot satisfy your hunger so it is the word of God must first enter your spirit before you can access the reality of its profit.
My brethren let us study the word of God with the expectation of profits and also let the word of God settle in your spirit whenever you read or listen to it. When you are a carrier of God's word the enemy will be afraid to attack you because the word of God is power. As a believer of the gospel the word of God is your weapon.
How often do you study the word of God?
God help us. Amen.
