*FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE DAILY DEVOTIONAL* _)Sunday 15th June 2025_ _Day 164 of the year 2025_ _TOPIC_ *PROFIT FROM THE WORD* _TEXT_ "Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls" (James 1:21). _COMMENTARY_ The Word of God is designed to increase your overall worth and value (1 Timothy 4:13-15). It has the assignment of raising the dignity and quality of people. God's purpose is to bring you to a point where people who knew you before now can notice that there is progress in your life. The Word of God is calculated for the profit of man, but it is not everybody carrying the Word of God (Bible) that is profiting from it. To profit from the Word of God, you must lay aside filthiness (James 1:21). The departments of filthiness include: A. Things that defile your conscience: These are the things you see or hear that make your heart to be unclean. The horror films you watch damage your spiritometer (spiritual sensitivity). They suffocate the potency of the Word of God in your life. Whatever defiles your conscience will affect your profit from the Word of God. B. The filthiness of bitterness or wrath: (Hebrews 12:15). Anytime the devil succeeds in making your heart to be bitter and vengeful, he has succeeded in hardening you to the Word of God. A man that cannot forgive cannot be fruitful. The Word of God cannot germinate in a life that is unclean. When a container is full of chaff, it is not possible for it to accommodate seeds (Word of God). The Word of God is pregnant with the power of God. If only you can take this Word and be ready to receive it with open hands and heart, then you will walk in this world as a profitable citizen (person). *Prophetic Instruction:* 1. Make up your mind to reject anything unclean that defiles your conscience. 2. Spend quality time with the Word of God. *Prophetic Prayer:* Lord, I receive the grace to keep my conscience clean. I welcome Your Word into my heart, Lord, in Jesus' Name. *Nugget of Wisdom:* _"What makes a man to profit from the word of God?"_ *Divine Empowerment:* Morning: 1 Chron.15-17 Evening: Eccl. 10 *Author:* Bishop Papa Frank Obinna Lloyd (PhD) _Prophet To The Nations._
