The scriptures your most valuable asset. ( Click here for more details. )

John  5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.  5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.  5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.  5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Beloved Brethren our Lord Jesus Christ revealed a never to be forgotten truth for wise pilgrims on their way to heaven. 

This is because whatever you do with the scriptures determine your earthly and eternal well being.  No wonder, Jesus admonished you to search the scriptures and be wise.

John  5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Remember God’s words is the wisdom of God to make you wise.

Deuteronomy  4:6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

2 Timothy  3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

As a Bible believing believer, search it daily and apply it to every areas of your life. You will become noble and wise.

Acts  17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Matthew  4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

As a minister, study it and apply it to everything you are doing in the ministry.

2 Timothy  2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy  3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.  3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy  4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;  4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;  4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Acts  6:4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

1 Samuel  12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:

When this is conscientiously done by both the Bible believing believers and the ministers, then, the following happens continually all the days of your life.

1. Guaranteed success.

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.

2. Cleansing from defilements.

Psalms  119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.  119:10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.  119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

3. Your power and weapon of warfare.

Romans  1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Ephesians  6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

4. It will continue to lighten your ways.

Proverbs  6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Psalms  119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

5. It will make you a miracle worker like Jesus.

Mark  16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Acts  14:3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

6. It will become your food and you will be built up.

Job  23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Acts  20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

All of these becomes so because, God magnifies the word above His name.

Psalms  138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Most importantly what you do with the unchanging unfailing infallible eternal words of God , the scriptures, determine your eternal well being.

John  12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.  12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.  12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Revelation  22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:  22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Because of all these, dearly beloved Brethren, heed the admonition of our Lord and be blessed here and hereafter in Jesus name.

John  5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
