“All the people gathered with a unified purpose at the square near the Water Gate. They requested Ezra the scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had given for Israel to observe.” (Nehemiah 8:1)

Sadly, many churches around the world today profess a love for Jesus while neglecting to teach His Word. Yet, the Scriptures are the lifeblood of vibrant and healthy churches. Even before Jesus established the church as we know it, the people of Israel experienced revival when they came together to read the Word of the Lord aloud. Why does prioritizing the Bible lead to revival? It’s because the essence of Christ is found within its pages, and where Jesus is present, there is true life!

“In the beginning, the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)

The Gospel of John further explains that the Word brings life and light into the darkness. Who embodies this life and light? It is Jesus Christ. This leads us to an important question: “Is the Word of God a priority in your life?” Do you engage with it, pray through its teachings, and apply its truths to your daily life? If not, I encourage you to pick it up today and read. Seek God for understanding, and you may witness a personal revival that could spark a larger revival in your church, community, and beyond.

“Revival, both personal and communal, begins with the Word of God.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the gift of the Bible. Thank You for the treasure found within these sacred pages, where we discover true life and radiant light. Your Word reveals the profound story of our salvation through Christ, offering us guidance and wisdom on how to navigate this world and live victorious lives in Your grace.

As I delve into the Scriptures, I ask that You teach me Your ways and illuminate my understanding. Help me to grasp the depth of Your truths and apply them to my daily life. May Your Word transform my heart, renew my mind, and strengthen my spirit. Lead me to walk in Your paths and share the hope I find in You with others. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
