You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. -Hebrews 5:12(NLT)
ON TEACHING GOD’S WORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
How long have you committed to Christ?
Have you been faithful to follow his light?
Believers are expected to grow in the word
The gospel has to reach all the parts of the world.
Are you doing your part in spreading the Good News?
Are you living your life anchored on his truth?
Don’t delay your responsibility to teach
All believers are expected to preach.
________________________________________
As a Christian, we are all expected to spread the Good News of Christ, who came to sacrifice his life for us. We are to preach the gospel of the grace. God gave his only begotten Son to pay for our sins. He forgave and cleared us from all sins when Jesus died on the cross. Some believers think that they need to have a degree in bible studies to be able to teach the word of God. I used to have the same mentality until the Lord revealed to me in 2 Timothy 3:16 that all Scripture is God-breathed and is supposed to teach us what we ought to do and correct us when we are wrong. All believers are commissioned to spread the word of God to all the ends of the earth.

Lord, remind me to bring your gospel to as much people as I can.

Let the message about Christ in all its richness fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. –Colossians 3:16 (NLT)
FILL YOUR LIVES WITH CHRIST
A poem and essay by ILMA
What are you busy with in your life?
Are you referring to God’s insights?
Let the message about Christ fill your lives
Teach and counsel each other so you can thrive.
Fill your mind and heart with the word of God
You will find that life is easier and not that hard
Sing psalms and hymns with hearts that are thankful
Let the Spirit touch your life and make it powerful.
What is a successful life for you? As a Christian, our success should not be the same as the way the world view success. It shouldn’t be about power, fame, wealth and beauty. A successful Christian is someone who is deeply intimate with the Lord, knows the character and will of God and is living what God wants for him or her.
The bible tells us to fill our lives with the message about Christ because it is rich. We must counsel and teach with all the wisdom he gives. We must be thankful and show such gratitude by singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs and give God all the credit for making our lives victorious.
PRAYER
Lord, let me be intimate with you daily.
REFLECTION
Why do we need to fill our lives with Christ’s message?

Let the message about Christ in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.– Colossians 3:16 (NLT)
TEACH AND COUNSEL EACH OTHER
A poem and essay by ILMA
As you embrace God’s will and truth
He expects you to teach and bear fruit
The word of God is given so you can share and mature
It has power to transform lives and help you and others endure.
Teach and counsel each other with all God’s wisdom
He will use you so he can further his kingdom
Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to the Lord
It is one way of thanking him and giving him applaud.
I feel loved and special when someone gives me a gift, especially if it was something well thought of. It is not really the gift that matters but the act of thoughtfulness. I want to give someone in return for the gift I received. Somehow, I feel that I have shared what I got if I make someone feel special too.
The bible tells us that when we receive the Good News of Christ, we are expected to teach it to others. We are also expected to give thanks and praise to God through psalms, spiritual songs and hymns.
PRAYER
Lord, give me courage to teach and counsel.
