LEARN FROM THE WORD OF GOD
MEMORISE: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
READ: Psalms 25:4 -5
4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
MESSAGE
Our memory verse for today says that the workman that will not be ashamed is he or she who rightly divides the word of truth - not just one who reads it, but one who divides it and learn no from it. Many people read their Bibles but do not really learn from it. It has become something done just to fulfil all righteousness. There are many great treasures in the Bible that will benefit anyone wiling to search them out.
When you study the Bible, you should be on the lookout for new things you can learn and apply in your marriage, business, career, ministry or any other aspect of life. Prover bs 18: 15 says:
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
The Bible is not a story book; it is a life manual, and lessons from it must be applied in our lives. Romans 15:4 says "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."
2 Timothy 3:16-17 tells us that the Scripture is given to us so that we can be perfect and thoroughly furnished unto good works.
Living according to the standards of God as shown in the Bible may appear difficult, it is however, better that you discipline yourself to do so because the results would be great in your life. For example, the word of God says you must be humble, so be humble. As a result of your humility, God will give you grace to succeed (James 4:6). His word says you should be diligent and as a result, you will stand before kings (Proverbs 22:29).
Believe me honestly, l have found that God's word is the key to true success in life. Be dedicated to studying it and applying your learnings correctly from today.
