Channels to Understanding God's Word

Happy Sunday and Welcome to my Blog!
I hope you find this piece helpful in your Christian life journey.


When God speaks to us, He expects us to have a proper understanding and when we do not understand God's words, we will not be able to act on it. Even if we do, we won't do it the right way because understanding is lacking. Lack of knowledge and misappropriation of God's word has led many to destruction.

Today, I will share briefly with us some channels through which we can get to have a full and in-depth understanding of God's word. It is one thing to read the Bible and it is another thing to understand and decode the message from whatever verse of the Bible that is being read. So, understanding is vital.


Meditation on God's Word
Meditation can be defined as thinking through God's word on a particular subject matter until the details becomes real. It is also the act of giving your heart to seeing and search out what God is saying in a particular Bible scripture. When you study the bible, there times you do not get the message and understanding at the first reading but when you begin to ponder upon the word that is, meditate upon the word, more light comes to you and you get to understand it the more.

So, don't just read the Bible and when you get up, you forget about all you read. Deliberately meditate and ponder on God's word. The more you do so, the more understanding you get. Meditation further entails pondering on God's words until it produces result in your life. Hide the word of God in your heart.


The Holy Spirit

John 14:26 - (KJV) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Another channel and the best help in understanding the word of God is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our helper, teacher and comforter. It is the Holy Spirit that teaches us all things. So, if you want to have an understanding of the word of God, then, you have to be friends with the Holy Spirit. Always ask Him to teach you and explain things to you more.


More so, being that the Holy Spirit is one who inspired the writing of the Bible. He is then the best person to interpret the word of God to us. Let the spirit of God have a place in your heart and life. With Him, you will get to understand the word of God deeply,thereby living it out to the fullest.


Humans
There are always levels in everything we do. In the christian race, there are those who have studied the Bible ahead of us, there are those whom God has chosen to preach and teach His words. Not everyone is blessed with the ability to teach the Word of God. So, these sets (teachers of the word) of believers have the capability to explain God's word to you who lack understanding.

This is one of the reasons we got to church for Bible study. We go there to be taught the word by those who have been specially touched by God to teach the word. Locate these persons and they'll be of help.


The Bible is not just any book and thus it needs to be understood properly if it must work for a person. As a believer, pray for the grace to understand God's word and always create time to study the word of God. This is how to grow!

God bless you!!!
