PERSONAL STUDY TIME

"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 KJV

Bible study is very important for all believers. It is the very means by which you are equipped for God’s work. It is not just for those called to vocational ministry but for all believers. Our text verse says when you study, you will rightly divide the Word of Truth. How does one go about "rightly dividing the word of truth?" It begins with a preparation and a proper perspective. When we study God’s Word we must see it as it is; God’s holy, infallible and inspired Word.

Studying your Bible is for your personal growth and development, why? because you can only give what you have inside you. If you put scriptures in your head, it'll stay in your head; also if you put scriptures in your heart, it will definitely stay in your heart. Always let the Word of God enter and settle into your heart (your spirit), so when you're communicating it, the Holy Spirit amplifies your Words and puts His stamp on it. You must take time to study the scriptures for yourself. When you don't do this, you'd be ashamed when that knowledge is required and you're not able to showcase it. 

Also don't presume or assume anything about God that is not true; study for yourself. You have to find out things for ourselves, and not just assume its correct because one preacher or Pastor said it. When you have the Word of God in you, you'd find out that you will always be motivated and excited whenever you hear anyone talking or sharing the Word. 

Further Scripture Study: 2 Timothy 3:16 

Declare This: Dear Lord, I will spend more time studying Your Word. I know It is profitable to anyone who reads it, therefore I will do as You've instructed in Jesus name Amen.
