A message is told or preached, is so people can be nourished by it, encouraged by, or learn something by it. We all listen or read a lot of uplifting, preaching and teaching, but it is not definitely not meant to go in one ear and out the other.

If we are going to be nourished by the message, we would need to take notes and check out the scriptures, that we have heard, so it becomes great nourishment for us.

If we are going to be encouraged by the message, it is still good to take notes, and find out more about the scripture that gives us the encouragement.

If we are going to learn from the message, taking notes is essential, because by restudying it, it will lead to greater gems of knowledge, being gleaned for our learning.

Now the point of this message comes from Ezekiel 2 verse 8 to 3 verse 3;

All good teachers,and preachers have made God’s Word something inward to themselves before they deliver it to others. Ezekiel expressed this particularly dramatically, God told him to eat it. It was bitter and difficult message, but because he had the courage to take it into his own life, it produced sweetness inside and nourishment to him.

A good message will be of great blessing and nourishment to us, always take notes, to glean from them again.

God Bless.
