BIBLE STUDY OR REVOLT?






The Bible used for wrong application or motives is a revolt against its Author. What is God’s purpose for giving us His Word?  Many men of God and Christians generally do not know how to apply scriptures appropriately. And that had turned the Bible into just a religious or history book.

God gave His Word to humanity for definite purposes. In general terms; we are to apply the Bible as a Kingdom constitution; it is to be observed with reverence and committed deliberate obedience and faith.

Mark 12:24 “Jesus answered and said to them, "Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?”

The Word of God for us is never to return to Him without accomplishing what it was sent to do. The world is earnestly waiting for the manifestation of the Kingdom citizens through the fulfillment of the Truth which the Bible carries.

The church must cease the deplorable lifestyles of only seeking material things as testimonies or prove of their faith witnesses. We are promised; our God shall supply all our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Spiritually, this implies the gifts of the Holy Spirit without measure. The more we are equipped with God’s power, the more His Kingdom is realized in practical terms in every facet of human endeavor!

Wrong approach to the use of scriptures had made God irrelevant to many a yearning hearts; and many a hungry and thirsty hearts had been fed with the worldly junk in the bid to seeking legitimate alternatives for solutions to their lives’ problems.

Let’s refer to the lifestyle of our Lord Jesus Christ as an only and ultimate standard to follow as we apply the Bible to the ministries given to all of us.
