Daily Rhema: Study to show yourself approved unto God

2Timothy 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 of God is the Truth from which all truth is derived (spiritual, scientific, physical or natural and legal), by which all things visible and invisible were created, and by which they are upheld (Heb.11:3).

God wants all Christians to study the Word of Truth (the Bible) and not just read it; not seeking men’s approval, but His approval.

To study is to meditate, think deeply, and ponder upon the scriptures: to fix the mind closely upon a subject; to dwell upon anything in thought; to muse; to ponder.

God wants us to study to show ourselves approved unto Him and not just unto men.

Hence, it is important now to acquire a spiritual education, which comes only by studying the Word of God. This will happen if we superimpose spiritual education upon our secular education.

Secular education must come first (1Cor. 15:46), because being literate enables us to read and understand the Bible from which we get our spiritual education (Rom. 1:20).

God is raising up an army of believers, who are not ashamed of the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus (Lk.9:26). Christians who will stand for truth even in the face of death, like the four Hebrew boys in the face of death (Dan. 3:13-30, 6:8-: 28; Rev. 12:11).

As we study or mediate the scriptures, pray for the spirit of revelation and wisdom and pray in the Spirit (i.e. in tongues and groanings (1Cor.14:2, Rom. 8:26)) to rightly divide the Word of Truth (Eph. 6:17-18). Then the Spirit of God begins to unveil the truth of the Word of God to us by revelation.

This will cause us to find by revelation:

(1) All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ (Col. 2: 3).

(2) The divine plan for our individual lives hidden in types and shadows with Christ in God in the written Word (Col. 3:3; Rev. 22: 19).

You limit your ability to fulfill all of your prophetic destiny (to know the what, the why and the how) if you do not study this Word of truth.

(3) To overcome heresies and doctrines of devils in this end time (1Tim. 4:1-3).

Gods divine approval will be shown by the consistent display of spectacular, supernatural wisdom and power, as shown in the Lord Jesus (1Cor. 1:24), Solomon and Daniel; and even greater (Jn. 14:12; Luk.11:31) by partaking of the power of the Spirit without measure.

Acts 20:32 KJV
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
