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.

SEEDS OF DESTINY
THE WORD OF GOD IS A DIRECTION GIVER
December 12, 2022 • Seeds of Destiny
SCRIPTURE: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God’s Word gives direction by connecting us to the Voice of God.
One day, I was in my office and a white man came to see me. But before he could sit down to tell me anything, I heard a voice telling me, “He is about to tell you lies that they stole his bag.” I was shocked. I asked myself, “How can a white man tell lies?” I began to watch what would happen.
Suddenly, he started talking. He said he was travelling from Jos and alighted from the vehicle around Mararaba (a suburb of Abuja), and then some people attacked him, and took his bag.
At this point I started nodding my head, confirming that I have heard it before, I have inside information.
So, the Word of God is a direction giver; God’s Word gives direction by connecting us to the Voice of God.
For example, God may lead you to a verse of Scripture like Isaiah 43:2 which says,
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
As you read and meditate on the Word, you begin to ask God what the passage is saying to you in person. Then you would begin to hear God. He may tell you something like, “It does not matter what you go through, you cannot be harmed.”
Beloved, it is not possible to ask God and not hear Him. When you ask, you shall receive (Matthew 7:7).
I decree that your ears shall be opened to hear God from today in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: God’s Word gives direction by connecting us to the Voice of God.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Make up your mind to be devoted to the study of God’s Word.
2. Whenever you study God’s Word, listen to the Voice behind the verse.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your Word to me today. I ask for the grace to both study Your Word and listen to the Voice behind the verse, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
