ACCESSING THE WORD OF GOD

ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): PSALM 119:130

SERVICE OBJECTIVE(S): Understanding what it takes or what to do to access the depths, light and revelation of the Word

Many people carry the Bible but not many people know what the Bible caries
Many are familiar with the letter of the Word but are not familiar with the Spirit of the Word
Many are familiar with some of the verses of the Bible but not many are familiar with the Voice behind the verse (John 6:63)
The first thing we encounter in the Word is the information; the second thing is the instruction/revelation (Ps. 62:11)

WHY IS THE REVELATION OF THE WORD/ SCRIPTURE IMPORTANT?
1. Revelation brings transformation to life (2 Cor. 3:18)
The reason why our lives are not changing at the same rate is because we have not seen things out of the word at the same rate

2. Revelation brings revolution (Luke 5:2-6)
Revelation is that Word that comes with you in mind
One word out of Scripture can revolutionize your life, business, marriage, career and ministry

3. Revelation terminates frustration (Luke 5:4-6)
For every frustrating life situation there is a scriptural solution; once you see it, the days of frustration come to an end

4. Revelation brings elevation (Isa. 60:1; Gal. 2:2; Matt. 16:16-18)
Revelation is a level changer

5. Revelation brings distinction (Isa. 60:1)
When light comes, men shine!
You may get a certificate by education, or recognition by association but that may not make you to shine in life; you shine in life by reason of what you know that others don’t know.

6. Revelation brings authentic celebration (Jer. 15:16)

7. Revelation brings illumination (Isa. 9:8)
Nothing breaks darkness like light
If there is an ancestral/witchcraft curse or occultic manipulation, it can be fractured by light

8. Revelation brings restoration (Luke 15:8)
What is missing can be found by light; Light causes men to find what is lost
Your lost health, peace or job can be restored by light
In God, nothing is ever too lost to be found, if only you can locate the light.

9. Revelation brings direction (Ps. 119:105)

10. Revelation is the basis or raw material for creation (Gen. 1:1-5)
Things that were non-existent can be brought into existence by revelation

HOW DO WE ACCESS REVELATION?
1. By being born again (2 Cor. 4:3-4; Mark 4:11)
Iniquity is a blinder of insights
Anyone who does not know the Lord has spiritual eyes that are blind

2. By desperation and hunger (Job 23:12; Matt. 5:6)
Insight follows interest and desperation is a magnet of revelation
If our hunger is not the same, our insight can never be the same

3. By a deliberate search (Jer. 15:16; Prov. 25:2; Matt. 7:7)
Anything that is too available is no longer valuable most times; rarity enhances value
What you don’t want, don’t watch! – Bishop Oyedepo
What you are not resisting, you are assisting
Your research is key to your results; what you find is what you seek for (Matt. 7:7)
Chance discovery are possible but rare; deliberate and decisive discoveries are more guaranteed

4. By prayers for discovery (Ps. 119:18; Eph. 1:16-18; Luke 9:29)
Prayer is a major key of access into the Word of God
The place of prayer is the place of light, insight and revelation (Luke 9:29)
Complications experience simplification at the place of supplication and revelation
