THE BIBLE

good success. Joshua 1:8

Message of the Day: The Bible is exceedingly and superlatively unique. Yet these descriptions,
qualifications or adjectives fall short for the limitations of man’s knowledge
and language. No book sells or reaches more people like the Bible. No book
enjoys translations into languages of the world as the Bible. No book prospers
in and covers many countries of the world as the Bible. No book has
institutions dedicated to it like the Bible. The Bible is the
darling of Authors; no book has been the origin of many other books like the
Bible. In the days of Telegram, the longest telegram ever sent was the entire
New Testament.
The Bible is a library of sixty-six
sacred books and divine revelations. The word Bible derives its name from the
Greek word Biblia meaning books. The books were written by about forty Authors
in a span of one thousand-six hundred years. These Authors of various ages came
from different levels, backgrounds and social rankings. Among them were
Shepherds, Leaders of thoughts, statesmen, Kings, Historians, Jew, Gentiles,
Fishermen, Plain People, Intelligentsia, Direct Disciples of Jesus, Physician,
Elite, Peasant and more. The most amazing dimension to the matter is the unity
of their message. It all crystallized to the singular program of God’s
redemption and salvation plan for man. Throughout the sixty-six books, Jesus
Christ of Nazareth stands out as God’s answer to all the human perplexities.
This love of God personified opens the door into everlasting life for man. The
unity of these books clearly showed they are of God and have the same origin and inspiration.
The books turned out to be one book rightly called The
Holy Bible. It is the holy book from the holy God, through His holy men,
leading to holy heaven, prepared for holy people washed in the blood. Praise ye
the Lord!
The Bible is divided into Old Testaments with
thirty-nine books and New Testaments with twenty-seven books. The Bible has
1,189 Chapters. It has 31,101 Verses. It has 783,133 Words. It has 3,566,480 Letters.
The Bible is the uniquely different book, making unique
difference to generations of men and women through the unique Jesus Christ.
What do you do with the Bible? Meditate on these things.
Give thy self wholly to them. Let it not depart from your mouth. Let it be
practiced in your life. Your profiting shall be known to all men. For them thou
shall make thy way prosperous and have good success.
From You to
God: God the Holy Ghost, work in my
life that thy word shall be my meditation all the day in Jesus name.
Application: The Bible will make you wiser than
your enemies, of more understanding than your teachers and the ancient.
Footnote: Love the Bible.
