PLB-15 steps to effective and exciting Bible study 2


Here's the continuation for getting your Bible game lit!

4. Another really cool way to get started is to go for recordings of others whom you've heard have done incredible exploits with the Word and are skillful at teaching it (my recommendation: Pastor Chris Oyakhilome). This way might be faster for some of y'all. There's a reason you had and still have teachers for academic purposes in your life. God apparently has provided for that in His great plan to keep His children enlightened about Him and His ways and us. It's okay to get help sometimes and not just think you can 'diy' all the time. Get the e-versions of their message and plug in at your silent times, while driving to work and while on the treadmill, have a voracious attitude towards the Word... and oh, you can get Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's video and audio messages by getting the "Pastor Chris Digital Library" app on the Apple app store and Google play!

5. Create some solitude. You wanna bring yourself away from distractions. One of the things you'll learn with God is how much He loves to have you all to Himself sometimes (yes, you're in a romantic relationship with Him now so deal with that😬☺). No one else, just the two of you. There'll be times He wants to share you with others for study (Church/fellowship times) but don't play with His "just us two" times.

6. Determine what exactly you wanna learn. If you have a subject you want to research on, a question you seek answer to, a challenge you wanna learn how to solve, be clear on what exactly you want to have gained by the end of your study time.

7. Determine how long you wanna stay. Trust me, He wants you to stay for like ever but He's too wise and knows you gotta get some other things done. As a matter of fact, He wants it to be such that you're so inspired at the end of the study you go ahead and act upon what you just learnt! However, if you're just starting I recommended that you do no less than 30 minutes per day (or every other day) for the first week(and don't decrease it😐). You're gonna love it, trust me! Also, don't rush. Be completely relaxed, you're dealing with an absolute gentleman. Relax your nerves.

8. Pray before you commence- this is very important in this process, You need the supernatural Teacher's (the Holy Ghost) expertise in getting a hang of the Words in there. If you speak in tongues you can do 5 mins. If you don't yet speak in tongues though... hmmn, well, I can help with a sample model of prayer that will help you get started:

Dear Father, I love you today and always. Thank you for this desire and discipline for your Word that you've put in me. I recognise that the Bible contains the most potent words ever and I am ready to be taught, coached, inspired, corrected, transformed and wholly impacted by your Word right now. Precious Holy Spirit, my heart is completely open and receptive to your thoughts and ways and I receive all your impartations today. I love you and am excited about the end of this session already! Let's get started.
...TBC...

Priority information

  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...
