Amen and greetings

This section was a lot but in a good way I must say. Just when i thought it could not get any deeper considering the amount methods i have went through, them i come across the Theological method; the study of basic bible doctrines. There are so many sub sections to study and go through:

Amen and greetings

Chapter 16 – Topical study method :

This method teaches how to study a specific topic in the bible. One may choose to study a topic within the entire bible or in a specific book of the Bible. This method for me, will help me in the sense that in, and outside the Christian community, there are often different…

The significance of Miriam being called prophet in Exodus 15:20 taught me alot in the sessions.

I came to a realization that Miriam is the first woman in the bible to be given the title of a prophet. I noticed that this title of being a prophet placed her and her two brothers Moses and Aaron on an equal level in representing God and speaking…

Chapter 20

The topic is on spiritual warfare and the need for believers to overcome spiritual deception through God’s truth and power. The “high places” were centers of false worship and idolatry that God commanded Israel to destroy. Satan imitates God’s work by creating counterfeit religions, doctrines, ministers, and forms of worship.…

One outstanding thing that i got from the sessions above is about the significance of Moses’staff turning into a snake infront of pharaoh. I found out that this was an act of Yahweh proving His sovereignty. In the Egyptian culture and royalty,snake symbolises a power associated with chaos,danger and rebellion against God. Egyptians…

After completing this session, two things about the Holy Spirit impacted me deeply and strengthened my faith. First, I was amazed to learn that the Holy Spirit was active from the very beginning of creation and not only in the New Testament. Seeing how the Spirit brought order out of chaos in Genesis reminded me that God is always present and…

DEVOTIONAL BIBLE STUDY

Devotional Bible study method enables one to not just be a hearer of the word of God but also a doerer of it. This method results in one applying what they have learnt to their real life, therefore resulting in positive change in one’s spiritual life. Satan hates this method of Bible study because it improves…

This chapter taught me about “word study” – studying a specific word from a verse to understanding its meaning in the context of the verse I am reading and in the context of other passages in the bible that have the same word or similar word.

When studying a word, it must be in context so that it can be understood and…

From sessions 4-6, i hve learned how important pharaoh’sdaughter was to Moses.

The first thing i came accross is that compassion can override prejudice. We can see that pharaoh’s daughter eventhough was brought up in a royal house hold of an oppressive regime was moved with empathy when she saw a vulnerable Hebrew child. This teaches that we…

Transference of Spirits

This topic explains the belief that a person’s inner character, attitude, or spiritual condition can be influenced—positively or negatively—through close association, leadership influence, or spiritual practices. Using Numbers 11:17, it shows how God transferred the spirit upon Moses to seventy elders for…

Based on John 10:10, Satan’s purpose is described as stealing, killing, and destroying, while God desires life, healing, and restoration. The body is the temple of the…

Lesson 6 : The Abilities that prove that He is God

Isaiah 48:12 says, “Harken unto Me O Jacob and Israel, my called, I am He. I am the first. I also am the last.”So from Isaiah, we perceive that God is the Alpha and the Omega. The One speaking Here is identified as Yahweh, The Lord.

Beginning with the Book of John, we can clearly find that Jesus is the…

It allows for the answering of simple yet important questions; what is God saying?, why is He saying…

Some of the writers wrote exactly what God instructed them…
