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. It is not about knowing Scriptures to quote; it is about knowing the ways, thoughts and principles of God.
Now, the question is, how do you study the Word?
Pray and study the Word of God habitually.
It was the habit for Daniel to pray three times a day (Daniel 6:10). The habitual study of the Word is an attribute of greatness. Pray and study the Word habitually. Form the habit of praying and the study of the word. Do not allow food enter your mouth until the Word has entered your spirit.
Job 23:12 says,
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Beloved, determine to study two or more chapters of the Scripture daily and meditate on them. Do this habitually.
Remember this: The habitual study of the Word is an attribute of greatness.
