Text: ‭‭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. 2 Timothy 2:15, KJV

Our prayer today focuses on our personal relationship with God, and it also is a challenge to you, if you desire spiritual growth.

According to our pilot verse, your bible study benefits you first, for it attracts divine approval. Additionally, it showcases your skills.

As for me, reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation is a yearly spiritual discipline for me.

I try out different translations every year.

There was one year that I challenged myself to read through the Bible in 3 months! Meh! That was a real challenge!

Another year, I read the Bible chronologically- in the order that the Books were written. It was so so different.

I need you to know that it takes discipline to be able to just read through the Bible by yourself. It’s a spiritual exercise that will renew your mind and transform your personality. 

As a Christian, it is honorable to “search the Scriptures as the Bereans did. 

Don’t be deceived like Mother Eve who fell for satan’s twisted interpretation of God’s Word.

Know God for yourself.  

Through the Bible you will understand who  God is, His plans and purpose for your life, and why the world is tottering. 

I challenge you to read through the Bible from January 1st to June 2024 – ( 6 months)at least 10 chapters a day

If you need guidance, the YouVersion free Bible study plan will help you- they have a 3,6 and 1 year Daily Bible reading plan.  Sign up for the one that suits you.

Let us Pray:

Father God, thank you for sending Your Word to deliver us from destruction and heal our diseases. 

We thank you for the gift of life and acknowledge that we have not made it count for you. Instead, we waste so much of our life on our phones viewing reels, watching movies or engaging in activities that don’t add value to the life of others.

In repentance, we ask that you help us to become better persons as we yield to your inworking in us.

Let the zeal for knowing God more, consume us. Fill us with the hunger and thirst to study your Word. Reveal yourself to us and help us to understand as we read the Bible. 

We stand against the forces of evils that attack God’s people with lethargy, sleepiness,  confusion and distractions, whenever they want to read their Bibles. 

We command to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ, all the evil spirits working against the spiritual understanding and growth that will set God’s people free.

We proclaim liberty and declare that nothing can stop from accomplishment of the goal to read through the  Bible from Genesis to Revelation,  in the new year.

Thank You Father for working in us both to will and to do of your good pleasure, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior. Dec 28 2023
