Dwell Richly

 

Colossian 3:16 - Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Feed – First, take the Word as your daily food to nourish you each morning. You can do this very effectively by reading or praying over two or three Bible verses with spontaneous prayers of thanksgiving, praise, or petition.

Read – Spend regular, daily times to read through the Bible. It is good to read through the books of the New and Old Testament consecutively, according to a schedule. www.Youversion.com has been a useful tool to keep me on track.

Sing - Sing the Word as the psalmists and early believers did.  You can sing hymns full of Scriptures or turn the verse you’re enjoying to song. Try the Joy fm, spirit fm, Youtube, Pandora, or looking up songs from this past Sunday at church.

Speak – Find some like-minded companions today with whom you can speak the World–mutually teaching and admonishing one another.

Repeat – The verse says to “let the message of Christ dwell… richly…”  this means: in abundance, doing it often, acquire it, invest it.  The message stays and takes root and makes a difference.
