RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY
DEVOTIONAL;

KNOW THE WORD FOR YOURSELF:
THURSDAY_28TH_AUGUST_2014
-Pastor Chris

Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved
(tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing
[rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15, AMP).

For you to live a joyful life, and be the
full expression of the will,
righteousness, and glory of God, you
have to know the Word for yourself
and live by it. Those who don’t know
the Word of God can hardly fulfil God’s
desire and plans for their lives. The
Word of God made you (1 Peter 1:23),
and except you live by the Word, you’ll
not be the "you" that God dreamed of,
nor fulfil His destiny for you. This is
why we teach the Word and encourage
God’s children to be students of the
Word. You must know the Word for
yourself.
Don’t live on the basis of assumptions.
Don’t let people influence you with
their "religious" opinion of God. Don’t
accept that something is from God just
because it sounds good, nice or
religious.
Jesus said in John 5:39, "Search the
scriptures…"; Paul said in 2 Timothy
2:15, "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
mind of God expressed; His will
written and expressed for us. What an
extraordinary advantage, that you can
study the Word for yourself,
understand it, and live accordingly! It’s
a great blessing!
The measure of your glorious and
victorious life will be to the degree of
your knowledge of God’s Word, and
how much of it you put to work. It’s
not about how long you’ve been a
Christian; it’s about how well you know
and apply the Word. Thank God we
have the unparalleled advantage of the
indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit,
who grants us understanding of the
Word! He’s the Author of the
Scriptures; so as you study, you can
depend on Him to guide you, and grant
you insight into divine mysteries and
secrets.
Give the Word your attention and
time. Study and put your heart in it. If
you want to live a life that’s beyond
the ordinary, it’s by the Word, through
the power of the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for showing
me the importance of personal study of
your Word, a vital ingredient in my
Christian walk. As I study and meditate
on the Word today, I’m positioned to
fulfil your desire and plan for my life,
and my profiting is evident, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
