Daily Devotional: Study to Show Yourself Approved

A Promise For You From Bible Promises: [01/06/16]

Topic: Study to Show Yourself Approved

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15. Read: Phil 3:10-14

In our society today, unemployment, labour turnover and retrenchment is on the increase. Graduates roaming the streets with their certificates even with a masters degree. In this same society, many secure white collar jobs with all benefits attached. You begin to ask yourself question, what is the difference. In all field of man's endeavour, skill is required. Any one that wants to be skilful and professional in his field must live a studious life. There is no substitute for study if you want to be a guru and highly sought for in your profession. With a studious life combined with God's grace, you can be the best. The Unilag student who graduated with 5.0 CGPA, Ayodele Dada Daniel said in an interview that three giant companies had offered him employment which he doesn't know the one to follow. Who says, there is no job, be skilful in your field, employment will locate you.

Paul said, when you do your part by studying, God will play His part by approving you and whoever He approves is approved by men. Paul never went anywhere without his parchments or books, so, when he says, study, he knows what he is saying because he himself lived a studious life which the results are evident. He was the least of the apostles, by study and God's grace, he excelled and lived an exemplary life.

* Father, in my profession, approve and make me different in Jesus name. #HappyNewMonth
