_*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 (Joshua 1:8).*_

Today, having several Bible translations and the emergence of
Bibles in electronic devices has made it increasingly difficult for
many to memorise Scriptures. Very easily, you can search and locate
verses, and in different translations, at the click or push of a button. But
this shouldn’t take the place or relegate the importance of memorizing
scriptures as part of your personal spiritual growth.
Memorising Scriptures helps you exercise your mind to retain the
Word of God. Your mind is the doorway to your spirit (2 Corinthians 4:4).
The Word of God has to be in your consciousness to produce results in
your life. When it’s in your consciousness, it’ll be in your mouth; and the
Word in your mouth is a creative force.
As you read your Bible, pick out striking verses and recite them repeatedly by heart. This is the beginning of meditation, and the more
you do this, the more the Word will gain the ascendancy in your spirit.
Set the target to memorize a verse of scripture per day and
measure your progress in it. You’d be amazed at the impact of the Word
in your life.
