Hear and receive His words
First of all you should listen to Him and receive the Words of God, and keep His words in you. When you keep His words and keep His commandments in your heart, then the Word; Jesus shall live in you. You shall be in Him, and He shall be in you.
Tahaka ny nolazain’i Jesosy: nynd the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; mba ho iray ihany izy, na dia iray aza isika: ao aminy aho, ary Hianao ato amiko, mba ho tanteraka ho iray izy; ary mba ho fantatry izao tontolo izao fa Hianao no naniraka Ahy, ary efa tia azy, as Thou hast loved Me (Jn 17:22,23)
Hide His commandments in your heart
Rehefa manaiky ny teniny ianao, ary tehirizo ao am-ponao izany, dia ho ren'ny sofinao ny fahendrena.
Incline your ear unto wisdom
You shall incline your ear unto wisdom and therefore you shall become wise. Because faith comes by hearing, ary ny fandrenesana ny tenin 'Andriamanitra. Ho velona ao am-ponao ny Teny, Ary noho izany antony izany, ho velona ianao ka handeha amin'ny fahendrena, sy ny fahalalana.
Apply your heart to understanding
Hahazo fahalalana ianao amin’ny fihainoana ny Tenin’Andriamanitra, and by speaking the Word of God.
Cry after knowledge and lift up your voice for understanding
You shall cry and lift up your voice to get knowledge and understanding. There must be a desire in your heart to spend time with God, ary amin'ny teniny. To study His Word, tadiavo sy tadiavo ny fahamarinana rehetra izay voasoratra ao amin’ny Teny (Ny Baiboly).
Seek her like silver and search for her as hidden treasures
You should seek for the truths of God, like you would seek for silver. You should seek, as you would seek for hidden treasures. God has given you an inheritance, and you will only find out if you seek, and search in the word of God. Te hanambara aminao ireo zavatra ireo izy, amin’ny alalan’ny Teniny.
When you spend time in His Word, then you shall get to know Him, and get to know the truth of His will.
You shall understand the fear of the Lord
Then you shall understand the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. Fear doesn’t mean to be afraid, but it means to be in awe of the Most High God.
You shall find knowledge of God
When you understand the fear of the Lord, then you shall find knowledge of God. You shall walk in the fear of the Lord and in the knowledge of His will. You shall walk on the path of the Lord; ny lalan’ny fiainana, izay hitarika anao ho amin’ny fiainana mandrakizay.
‘Aoka ho fanasin’ny tany’
