Message

While I was studying for my PhD, I was faced with 186 simultaneous equations, which I had been trying to solve for 18 months. With no solution in sight, it looked like I would have to pick a new problem to solve, meaning that my 18 months of efforts would go to waste. One night, around 10pm, after battling the problem and still not making progress, I decided to read my Bible and go to bed. I was reading , where the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, and I heard God’s voice, “That is the solution to your problem.” It didn’t make sense to me that the story of the crossing of the Red Sea would be the solution to a PhD thesis problem. However, God said further, “Go and bring your equations.” I obeyed, and He started teaching me, instructing me to put some equations on the left and some on the right. By the time I finished, I realized that all the ones on the left had something in common, likewise the ones on the right. Then, God said, “Now, solve the equations on the left together and those on the right together. Then, bring the two together.” God taught me Mathematics with the parting of the Red Sea, and after five hours, my thesis was ready. It was so good that the external examiner said that he had no questions for me. 

 

God teaches His children through His word. If you are an ardent student of the Bible, every now and then, as you study, He will teach you things that will make difficult situations become easy for you. David said in

 

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 

 

Sometimes, the solution to your problem may come from just simply reading the Bible without necessarily having a man of God lay hands on your head. Unfortunately, many Christians don’t read their Bible, and that is why they continue to struggle with simple problems for many years. Jesus said in

 

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 

 

Having a knowledge of the truth through God’s word will ensure that you live victoriously. Students know that if they don’t study their textbooks, they will fail their exams. Your Bible is the textbook of life; study it so that you will not fail in life.

Action Point

Make sure you spend quality time studying your Bible every day

Hymn

Title: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1. When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain: 

Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2. But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favour he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]

3. Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain]
