A workman is one who follows the right approach to rightly study the Word of God. Though the Bible is a divine book, it is a literary material and there can be the barrier of culture or history. 

By proper interpretation, you'll understand what the writer intended. When that happens, hold on to the message not the culture. 

The Bible is already inspired, don't interpret it with new inspiration. The Bible will never mean today what it never meant when it was written. 

The role of the Holy Spirit to the apostles was to help them put together and testify what Jesus had taught them. Our responsibility is to read and understand what the Apostles had taught.

The gospels are synoptic in nature, this means they are to be read together to give the full picture of a whole story. The differences aren't contradictions but prove corroboration and its authenticity, they give a narration.

The Epistles however give an explanation and a teaching. 

The Bible is a divine book yet it is a literary material. It was written in human language, so it contains various writing styles and different forms. 

To understand the Bible, you must first understand that it isn't meant to be read separately. The Old testament is the new testament concealed and the new testament is the old testament revealed, this should be our approach.

There's a right way to divide the Word of God, this means there's also a wrong way so we have to be studious when it comes to the study of God's word and this will take time and effort. 

There are ways to approach studying the Bible, both the Old and New Testament and this involves reading each book with respect to their genres.

Every believer is highly combustible and capable of catching fire, all you need to do is to set yourself. 

There are 3 important things to know about fire:

1. Fire is an emblem

2. This fire doesn't destroy, it sanctifies 

3. There's a system to fire. 

Fire produces results and ministry should be done with fire. 

God will have you always on fire and it is your responsibility to not quench it. 

The next most important thing after salvation is revelation knowledge and a lot of study has to go into the knowledge of who you are in Christ. You can't leave your spiritual growth to chance.

One thing that must be learnt is honour for the Word of God. Before you learn how to understand the Word, learn how to value it. There are ways the Word of God should be received:

1. Receive it with all humility and meekness

2. Receive it objectively

3. Receive it with joy

There's a standard in God and you must study to reach this. The Word of God gives brings clarity and must be our guide.

Proper Bible study will take time and effort and this must be our life not just a lifestyle.
