On day 2 of WAFBEC 2013, Rev. George Adegboye shared on the vital importance of studying the Word of God and its impact on our lives as christians in this faith walk, below is a quick recap;
An ignorant believer is not much different from an unbeliever
Below are some reasons why people don’t study the Word of God
1. They haven’t been taught how and have refused to teach themselves how to
What you don’t know how to do, you can’t enjoy it
2. They are lazy, it requires hard work, concentration, time & energy to study God’s word
You can’t pick the deep things of God from the surface
People aren’t ready to sacrifice the time required
Because a person is hard-working doesn’t mean they are spiritually hard-working
3. They lack the appetite for the Word of God
4. They don’t prioritize the study of the Word of God
The word of God is priority is priority to Him
5. Satan hinders them from doing so
Satan knows the strength and joy the Word of God will give
Satan knows how the Word of God will move you from one level of Glory to another
Satan continually hinders you by giving you excuses and hindrances so you can’t study the Word of God
6. They don’t set goals for studying God’s word
1. Because it has been commanded and you are expected to do so
Not studying the Word is an outright disobedience to a commandment
2. So that you may know God
3. So that you may know the truth
4. So that you may grow
5. Its God’s provision to equip us for life
6. It’s God’s primary gift for direction and guidance
