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 thorough 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 .
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive grace to break every satanic stronghold in my life in Jesus name.
