53. GENTLENESS (Kindness) Gentleness is not wanting to hurt someone or give him or her pain.

82. Foundation Class 5 The Word

88. How should we handle the Word of God? To increase in the Word of God, there must be a hunger & a thirst after it , after which it must be meditated upon like our daily food (Jn 6:51). Meditation simply means thinking over, ruminating, engage in thought, cogitate, to ponder or to study. Joshua 1:8 commands us to meditate on the Word of God day & night. A true believer cannot live outside the Word of God because It is the power of God unto salvation unto those who believe, hence it must not depart from our mouth (Psalm: 1). The word of God tells us, "Like new born babes we should desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby" (1 Peter 2:2). In order to grow, we need to study the Word , obey it , {James 1:22-23), speak it , (Mark 11:23), act on it , (James 2:17-22), believe it (James 2:23, Hebrews 10:36-37). On a daily basis the Bible tells us to examine ourselves whether we are still in faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). Hence we overcome the accuser (Old serpent, devil, satan, ancient dragon), by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony, also to overcome in spiritual warfare we need all the whole armor of God, of which the Word of God is the sword of the Spirit.
