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.

Sex and Lust

*Sex & LUST* I need you to understand that LUST is different from SEX. Lust is a desire in the heart to gain a sexual experience with some one. Sex is a decision and action. Your problem is not sex but LUST. Lust is the major challenge of teenagers. If there is no LUST at work, sex won't step in. Lust always shows up in your mind or head as a suggestion. The moment you give it attention, it settles and becomes your master. There is nothing like unplanned sex...or temptation that showed up accidentally. Temptation or rape is an opportunity that met a prepared mind trained or nurtured by LUST. Guard your heart against LUST via Gods Word and it will become easy to deal with the issue of sex. Sex is a choice, a decision and an option or suggestion. It is not a helpless feeling. It's deliberate in nature consciously or unconsciously. The Holy Spirit is aware of your struggle. Come to him un-ashamed. HOPE EXPRESSION celebrates you. # PrinceVictorMatthew

Jesus is the Truth - Part 1

You are welcome to this Revelation.  “I AM THE TRUTH” is the very statement of Jesus Christ about himself. There is a wrong concept about Jesus; Jesus is not here to show you the truth – HE IS THE TRUTH. Jesus is not here to point you to any one – he is here to point you to Himself. In the Gospel of Jesus, don’t try to separate the truth from Jesus. There is no truth without Jesus. Any truth without Jesus is not the truth. You need to understand that we are living with the two concepts. There are two types of truth. We have “truth” - this truth is all about things that please the five senses but disagree with God. The “TRUTH” is divine in nature. Truth is natural in natural. Truth is generally accepted but the truth is accepted through the help of the Holy Spirit. The truth is all about the Father but the truth is all about self desire. The truth produces humility but truth brings pride. Every thing you can see and touch has two version “truth” and “the truth”. ...

Teenager, Who Are You Really?

Have you ever felt like you’re trying to be someone you’re not? Maybe you feel pressured to fit in, to look a certain way, or to meet expectations that don’t align with who you truly are. The world is loud, constantly telling you who you should be, how you should act, and what you should believe. But have you ever stopped to ask, Who does God say I am? 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” You are not defined by your past mistakes, your insecurities, or the labels people place on you. In Christ, you are made new. Your worth isn’t found in popularity, achievements, or how many people approve of you. Your worth is found in the One who created you. Psalm 139:14 reminds you, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Think about that for a moment. You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. Every part of you—your personality, your gifts, your dreams—was intentionally designed by God....
