BIBLE STUDY



Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate thereon day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

There are three things I want to notice in this bible passage.

This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth: - This is the reality of you studying the word of God day in and day out in order for you, to understand his will for your life. Why must you study your bible? The Bible is the total hidden truth about your identity in God, your purpose for existence and your right in life. You are asked to study the word for protection or for you to use it (Book of Psalms) to fight your enemy. No! The bible is given to you to search, ask and seek for your purpose for living and it is in the truth lies the reason why Jesus died and the reason why God loves, provide and protect you. You are created to fulfil a plan and you are saved for a plan. Note this; studying your bible will only give the knowledge of Gods plan and not the understanding of it.

But you shall meditate thereon day and night: - Here is the place where the plan of God for your life of which you have discovered must be set into thoughts. The reason why you have to think on it is because Gods word to you is spirit and life and it is only through your thoughts that you will be permitted to understand it in the physical way. So meditate is the only funnel that makes the spiritual matter physical in your mind – set. Note this; In the place of meditation lies the understanding of God’s plan for your life.

Observe to do according to all that is written therein: - Its one thing for you to know and understand God’s plan for your life but it is a different thing for you to know how to bring his word into reality. God’s plan for your life has principles that must be followed and these principles can only be gotten through the life style of observation. God has set every thing around you to speak to you. The creatures, the seasons, your pastor, the system of life and your day to day activates. This act of observation is the ability of you allowing the holy to direct the way you listen to things, the way you see things and the way you reason in order for you to be able to get the physical clear picture of what God wants you to do. This was the major reason why Jesus used parables to speak in his time but in our days God is using every means to paint out His plan for us to see. Note this, nothing just happens, for every thing that happens to use, make it a duty to call the attention of the holy spirit to explain why such thing happened and make sure to question the holy spirit over any statement some made or your pastor made that is given you much concern of which you lack the full understanding.

The key question when you study your bible are what, why, how, where, when, and who?

Make sure you write down your personal understanding about any passage, so that you will have the room to refresh your mind again and again.

Thanks for reading. 

I love you so much. 

Remember, the best still lies in you.

Teenagers, Finding Purpose through Christ

Hey there, teens! School's out, the sun's shining, and summer's calling your name. But beyond the fun and freedom, there's a golden opportunity waiting for you: the chance to dive into self-discovery and uncover your unique purpose. You might wonder, "Why now?"

Teenagers! You Belong to God

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to belong—to be seen, known, and loved without conditions? John 1:12 says, “Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” Think about that for a moment. The God who created the stars, the oceans, and every heartbeat in the world looked at you and said, “You are Mine.” This isn’t just a title or a label—it’s a privilege. You’re not defined by your mistakes, your past, or even what people think of you. You are defined by God’s love, and that love calls you His child. Isn’t that amazing? But do you see yourself the way God sees you? It’s easy to get caught up in comparing yourself to others, feeling like you’re not enough, or thinking you have to prove your worth. Maybe you’ve had moments where you felt invisible, overlooked, or questioned if you really matter. But what if the truth is that you’ve always mattered—because the One who matters most calls you His own? Imag...
