Good Morning... I want to apologise for not writing for some time...At a certain time, I went through two enormous situations that left me thinking and not "feeling" like writing, which is wrong... No matter how I feel I should always write because someone always needs that insight, encouragement, admonishing, teaching, etc. So, I am sorry...
In time, I would share those enormous situations with you, what I learnt and the testimonies I got from them.
Well, for sometime now, I have been coming across "knowledge" verses in the Bible.. Some look like this:
"A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash."(Proverbs 15:14, NLT)
"For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy."(Proverbs 2:10, NLT)
Every time, I came across verses like these, I prayed that God should give me knowledge but one day, I stopped praying..Do you want to know why?
You see: One day, while at church, I saw a picture of myself, looking very old, reading books and regretting why I did not read all these books when I was much younger.. and God said, "In order to avoid this predicament, Start reading now..."
There is a book I have been reading for up to a month now, the Holy Spirit asked me, "What are you reading in a book for one month?", He said, if I was to read every book like that, how many books would I have finished in a year, just 12 books, when I have the goal of 400 books?
What is my point? Child of God, to get knowledge is not a prayer point, it's an action point. You have to take action, by reading.. Get books, Hardcopy is no excuse. Now, there are variety of books, audio books, electronic books, hard copy books, video books..You have no excuse.
God expects us as Christians to read, be informed. Apart from your inner circle of family and friends, and your compound, where else do you know? Do you know what is going on in the country? Get a Newspaper.
Finally, The Bible encourages us to: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."(2Timothy 2:15, KJV)
"Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth."(2Timothy 2:15, NLT)
As a Christian, God expects you to correctly explain the word of truth to baby Christians, unbelievers, etc. unashamed and this is only possible if you study the Word of God..
So in all, To get knowledge, Study...You have no excuse.. Have a blessed day today.#Shalom!
