ACCESSING GOD’S WAYS BY STUDYING HIS WORD March 26, 2023 • Seeds of Destiny SCRIPTURE: Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 1Timothy 4:13 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The habitual study of the Word is an attribute of greatness. It has been established that the Word of God is the builder of life and destiny. Your destiny is not in view when the Word is out of place in your life. To neglect the Word is to forfeit your destiny. This means, the diligent study of the Word is necessary for the fulfilment of destiny (2 Timothy 2:15, John 5:39). Now, what does it mean to study the Word of God? To study the Word of God is to access the ways, thoughts, principles and precepts of God from His Book in order to walk better with Him on earth. When you study God’s Word, you are trying to know what He likes, how He thinks, what His principles are, what you are allowed to do, what you are forbidden from doing, etc. This is what studying the Word of God is about.

TOPIC: Lover Of Righteousness [Open Heaven for Teens 5 December 2022]
MEMORISE: But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Hebrews 1:8
READ: Hebrews 1:8-9
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 John 4:1-21, Daniel 5-6
MESSAGE:
Nowadays, its difficult for a true child of God to totally support a leader who is compromising on the right standards or ridiculing others who stand for the truth. So far, Jesus Himself is the only leader who has a perfectly right attitude. He just doesn’t act righteously, He is righteousness personified and His life is the standard for all Christians. Everything Jesus does for His children is from a standpoint of His love of righteousness.
Just the way Christ loves righteousness and detests unrighteousness, any child of His must truly love holiness and detest sin. When there is true love for God, there will also be true love for righteousness and total hatred for sin.
The more you become conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, the more you will love righteousness. This means your attitude toward righteousness and sin will ultimately reveal the kind of relationship you have with God. I encourage you to check your attitude and actions towards sin or unrighteousness and take a stand for Him wherever you find yourself.
KEY POINT
You will become righteous if you love righteousness.
HYMN: I Am Thine O Lord
I am Thine, O Lord,
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise
in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
CHORUS
Draw me nearer,
nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer,
nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
Consecrate me now to
Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up
with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
Oh, the pure delight
of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer,
and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
There are depths of love
that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
