Eating the Word of God as food simply means, “listening attentively, assimilating and digesting the word of God which one hears or reads” (eg. Lk.10:38-39,41-42).

It is very obvious that one of those qualities which the majority of Christians lack badly is this issue of eating the word of God. But how can we be saved, charged like the battery, be faith-filled, overcome and do exploits, if our hearts are not filled with the Word of God (Jn.6:53-58,63, Col.3:16, Jms.1:21).

The Necessity Of Eating The Word implies that;

*          The Word is Jesus and we need Jesus. The Word quickens (Jn.6:63, Heb.4:12).

*          The word gives salvation (Jms.1:21)

*          The word purifies (Jn.15:3; 17:17-19)

*          The word emboldens (                                   )

*          The word is a weapon against the onslaughts of the enemy in any form (eg. Matt.4:4-10, 2Cor.10:4-5, Eph.6:17).
