STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED
It is important that all believers are deliberate about being a student of the word so that we can show ourselves approved of God, walking in victory and rightly interpreting, teaching, and explaining the word of God.

By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel Luke 5:20-24 “And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies?

By Minister Onyeka Emmanuel 1 Corinthains 13:5 “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?- unless indeed you are disqualified.” Jesus is coming back soon, are you ready for His return? Are you truly part of God’s sheepfold?

Your identity is who God says you are, as declared in the word of God. It strengthens you and makes you unique. You are marked with the blood of Jesus and are not just a nobody; you are a child of God!
Developing a mature, vibrant Christian life is God’s expectation of every believer. Just like a parent expects their child to grow to maturity and not remain, babies all their lifetime. God expects us to grow spiritually. When we grow and mature spiritually, we can understand God’s purposes better and understand the values of life from God’s point of view and choose them over other values competing for our time and pursuit.
Christians need to rediscover what really matters; Christ Jesus! They need to develop a working intimacy with Him based on true knowledge of Him and knowing His love for us so we too can love Him. That love for Him will make Him our priority in life, not what we get from Him but who He is. If we build a relationship with Him based on our love for Him, even when things do not line up, we will still love Him, because we love Him for who He is!!!
So, we can easily deduce that God pours His Spirit upon us so we can be witnesses of the death, and resurrection of Christ. It enables us to preach the gospel of forgiveness and reconciliation between man and God made possible solely by the sacrifice on the cross.
The word is a seed. It is alive, it contains life. If we want this seed to produce, it must be planted in our hearts by speaking and meditating on the word. Once it is planted, it will grow. Will it take some time? Sure, it will! Many nights and days may come and go without any visible change but the seed (word of God) is working underground.
