2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
In our early days, I once brought home a book I bought on finance. I explained to my wife how this book would make us rich! I told her we would have a million times what I spent on the book by the degree of knowledge acquired by reading it! The scriptures tell us in Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” It is important that you read books and other materials that enrich your spiritual growth and understanding.
Some Christians queue in long lines waiting to buy a bottle of anointing oil rather than investing in books and other materials that will build their capacities and knowledge. While I do not object to anointing oil as a conduit of the anointing, knowledge acquired through books is compressed and enlarges your understanding of how best to navigate life and win. Do not neglect the study of the Word of God and other spiritual material by substituting them with an anointing jar. Each has a role in building you up for Kingdom advancement.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am built up to conquer nations through knowledge. I’m not ordinary; I have wisdom from above. The Word of God in me gives me understanding to handle life challenges.
