PLB-15 steps to effective and exciting Bible study I


It's a series, so just relax and chill.
It is common knowledge that as a Christian you have to, need to and must study the Scriptures for a successful Christian life. There are many successes in the world today but the Christian's definition of success is quite different. It has to do with living all of life and doing all things as the Scriptures teach.
From relating with people I realise that a lotta Christians desire to get more of the Scriptures but are burdened with many excuses as to how (where, when) to go about it.
These series are designed to help solve these challenges. Have fun reading☺.

1. Realise that in order to love God more and live a truly fulfilled and pleasing to God you will need some good level of personal knowledge from the Scriptures (settle that first in your heart).

2. Everyone who has had a considerable beautiful experience with the Scriptures can testify to these:
-you may not agree with everything at first,
-you may not understand everything in one fell swoop initially, you may even easily get bored😥 of it at inception. However, a strong desire to progress in the knowledge of God along with a decent level of patience should take care of this.

3. Get your Bible study gear ready. It's simply the most important project you will be embarking upon in your life so it's more than worth getting ready for. Your gear should include these above all else;
-5 translations of the Bible (my suggestions are: KJV/NKJV, Amplified, Message, NIV, NLT),
-a dictionary/thesaurus,
-Greek and Hebrew manuscripts,
-Bible commentaries,
-Google😉. You probably already have most of these things on your smart phone/device so just download the ones you don't have. How blessed we are in our age!

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t...

Peace, Soundness of Mind

  2 Timothy  1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " I'm a firm believer that one of the most vital if not the most vital aspect of the human health is the mental health. Its so important to have a mind that's put together. A lot of times, there are challenges that come our way which test our mental capacity and strength, some times they are quite overwhelming, making it seem like we just need to go somewhere solitary to have a "cool off", however the scriptures promises something quite lovely. God says to those who accept Him in their lives, He has given "... a sound mind" , the phrase "sound mind" is translated from the Greek word "Sophronismos", which means " a mental state well balanced with accurate judgement". This is the kind of mind you have in Christ. A mind configured to make accurate and sound judgement, a mind that's in the rest of God. Most i...
