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.

Salvation - Part 1

I commend you to the Holy Spirit and God’s word to help you to discover and learn all that God has proposed you to learn and discover in Jesus Name. Our topic for today is SALVATION. Our Case Study will be Colossians 1:13 – 14 What is Salvation? SALVATION is the translation from the kingdom of sin into the kingdom of his dear son. SALVATION is a lifestyle, a personality, a culture and SHE has a desire (God’s plan and purpose). SALVATION is a journey from the stage of ignorance into the place of the knowledge of God’s plan. This is a shift of mindset, attitude and manner of approach from the carnal state into God’s principles. Why is SALVATION needed? SALVATION is needed because of the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Man-kind was perfect in the beginning until sin entered into them and corrupts God’s nature in their lives. This is needed because man-kind need to be restored back to the plan and purpose of God, sin cut off from mankind after the f...

Stay Healthy In Friendship

Three things that will always poison your friendship or relationship with the people around you are the following: - Presumption. - Assumption. - Suspicious. The only way to defeat these deadly enemies is you asking question. Don't make any decision when you don't have a full detail and understanding. Don't fix your believe about any one base on what some one else told you about this person. Get close to people and have your own personal discovery of who this person. PEOPLE WHO GOSSIP TO YOU ABOUT ANY ONE WILL ALSO GOSSIP YOU TO ANOTHER PERSON.  Don't be a victim and ask the Holy Spirit to help you. Even if you discover a fault in your friends life....pray for them. Be patient with your friend the same way your parents or some one else is being patient with some of your misbehave. You are a teenager with purpose.  Allow the Word of God to set the pace for every of your choice and decision. HOPE EXPRESSION believes in you.
