I pray for the grace of God to fill your life this day.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nToday I would like to start discussing a new topic: \u201eHidden treasure<\/strong>\u201d or \u201eHidden wisdom<\/strong>\u201d. There is wisdom that is revealed and open for some people and continues to open daily; but for some people, this wisdom is like hidden treasure they are not able to enjoy. It is the Word of God that is God\u2019s treasure. Today we will talk about God\u2019s Word and about our attitude towards it. The people that have the Bible have a true treasure at their disposal.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWe \u2013 the children of God \u2014 believe God\u2019s Word to be the truth and the true revelation of God to the human race. We believe the Bible to be God\u2019s personal word addressed to each of us. But I have discovered that many people are totally indifferent towards it. We defend the Bible; we try to prove to unbelievers that the Bible is God\u2019s Word. We say that it is important to read it and believe it. But at the same time many believers do not read it and do not treat it as a treasure that it is.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThere are several reasons that have caused this situation. My purpose today is to help us change our attitude towards the Bible. If we feed on the Word of God, then this Word helps us personally and changes our environment.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWe know that it is important to read the Bible. But some believers open it only during church services; all the rest of the time it is closed. Yes, we do have such believers. There is another category of believers \u2013 those that only read the Bible when they are with other believers.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nGod encouraged me to speak about these things today and to be very stern. We must respect the Bible \u2013 the treasure God has entrusted us. We must read it. But it is not whether we know that we should read it. The problem is that we know it but we do not do it.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSo many people do not read the Bible because they are lazy. Many do not enjoy it, because they do not have the adequate understanding of how to study it. So their every attempt to ready the Bible brings them disappointment. It is like eating the food that is not tasty, – over time it becomes nauseating. In his mind, a person understands that the Bible is God\u2019s Word to him personally; but at the same time he experiences dissatisfaction when he attempts to read it. In time he totally loses the desire to open it.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nI would like to share with you some ideas that can help you in your study of the Bible. God desires for every believer to enjoy the reading and study of the Bible. He wants us to have good appetite towards it and we would not to spend even one day without the Bible and the joy of reading it.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nLet\u2019s see what the Bible says about the importance of reading it. Until we understand what the Bible is, there won\u2019t be much sense in doing it. I do not ready it because it is a law for me. I read it because I have the right inner motivation; I have inner stimuli because I understand the significance of the Bible in my life. If a person does not understand it, he is neglectful towards God\u2019s Word; he might only read it when he is \u2018in the mood\u2019 for it. But that kind of attitude is not beneficial. My desire is for us to be established in the Word. But a person cannot be established if he only listens to sermons and does not personally study the Holy Scripture.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe Bible bids every one of us to study the Scripture:\r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00a0\u00abYou search the Scripture, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me\u00bb\u00a0(John, 5:39).<\/h6>\r\n
<\/h6>\r\nEveryone that calls himself to be a disciple of Jesus Christ must research the Scripture. In order to do it we must have proper motivation. This motivation originates from the right understanding of why a person must study the Bible.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTomorrow we will discuss what the Bible says about itself and why it is important to study it. I believe it will help us change our attitude towards the Bible and will make us spiritually stronger.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nGod bless you!\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is wisdom that is revealed and open for some people and continues to open daily; but for some people, this wisdom is like hidden treasure they are not able to enjoy.
