HOW TO DISCOVER YOUR FUTURE IN THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE
2 Tim 2:15 KJV “Study
to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth”.
The word ‘study’
is the Greek word ‘spoudazo’ it means: to use speed, to make effort, be prompt
or earnest: do (give) diligence, be diligent , endeavour, labour. This implies
that the studying of God’s word requires hard work, diligence and promptness.
It requires the analysis of every word individually and it’s grammatical structure,
biographical illustrations, historicity of each statement, authentication of
authorship of each book, topical analysis and its relevance to present day life.
This is what it means to rightly
dividing the word of truth. It is during this process that power is released to
change our circumstance.
The bible is
the revelation of the will of God in relation to man and the universe. It
contains sufficient information about every human that had ever lived till date
and through the scriptures one could safely predict the outcome of every action
taken by man. It is for that reason that it remains the most reliable moral
compass for all generations.
The bible is coded
with mysteries that can only be unlocked through indebt studies. It contains the word and power of God . If there
is anyone Satan dreads, it is has to be that fellow who is well grounded in the
Holy Scriptures.
The first thing one
must recognize is that the Word of God is Spiritual therefore a spiritual
approach to studying scriptures is indispensable .It must be approached with a
reverential mindset because it is not an ordinary literature and should not be
read from a carnal or fleshy point of view 1 Cor 2:14-15 NKJV “But the natural man does not receive the
things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know
them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
It is imperative
to develop a hunger for truth, it is the conscious need to know the purpose and
meaning of life that leads to the opening of the gate to spiritual knowledge .
The hunger for truth should exceed that for food. The religious approach to
reading scriptures may satisfy the ego and sense of duty however, it is insufficient
in opening the doors of spiritual discernment. A great cook with a store of
choice food supplies could still go hungry until he or she makes conscious
effort to prepare the meal and eat it ,likewise having a library full of books
is no guarantee for revelation knowledge. A personal effort is necessary to discover the
truth of the gospel it should be
received uncensored and unfiltered .
Many believers are
trained to owe more allegiance to their infinitesimal denomination than to the
truth of the gospel and as such see the
bible through religious filters handed down by their leaders . A first- hand
knowledge is indispensible to avoid reechoing human errors. The fact that a theology
has been in existence for years does not make it truth. Some persons have
become experts at promoting errors; often garnishing lies with sophistication. Matt
22:29 KJV says “…. Ye do err, not
knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.” We must seek the deep truth of scriptures ,
most truth do not lie on the surface .They must be mind through diligent search
like a miner searches for precious stones .
The more of truth you know, the more of the
liberating power of God you will experience . As you receive Jesus Christ as
lord and savior and read this now , receive grace to break every satanic
stronghold in your life in Jesus name.
