Introduction

Our aims of publishing this booklet are - to encourage our readers with the word of God- to help those who have difficulties reading the Bible or who find it voluminous and hard to read, to have passion to read their Bible daily in the easiest way and to go deeper into God's knowledge.

Hosea 4: 6 AKJV says “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. Paul said to Timothy, “Till I come, devote yourself to reading...” 1 Timothy 4:13 AMP

– So don't perish for lack of knowledge! We are recommending this booklet to everybody, all Christians, laborers in the vineyard of the Lord, Bible Students, pastors etc. and all churches, irrespective of your title, your years in faith or your theological background.

Moreover your spiritual growth depends on what you digest, and real spiritual food brings soul prosperity (3 John 2)This book will surely change your life: let your faith grow by reading, studying and hearing the word of God- Romans 10:17 - and you will discover God's secrets

– Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophesy,

and keep those things which are written therein.(Revelation 1:3 AKJV)

Notice:

Helpful Steps how to use this guide

1. Find a good time for your Bible reading2. Pray before reading your Bible that God shall give you quick

understanding3. Never rush reading your Bible like a newspaper or novel. N.B.

Read it carefully4. Mark the verses and take notes as you are reading your Bible,

underline the quotations which sound special and important to you, continue the passage and read it all.

5. Follow the word you read: During the reading of the verses, God may touch your heart concerning your past or your present life to be corrected. Don't hesitate to repent and change.

6. Share what you read with others, e.g. friends, relatives, wife, husband, co-workers, children. What you gain from the reading share it in public for the sake of the Gospel. 2 Timothy 4: 1-5

7. Meditate and live in the word of God: most believers read the Bible and forget the instructions. Remember the word of God to the Israelites: “Study this book of the law continually, meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then you will succeed.” (Joshua 1:8) NLT Therefore meditate and remember throughout the day the word that the Lord has spoken to you and apply it to your daily life conduct.

8. Read daily in the morning and in the evening.9. Each week has a memory verse, try to memorize the quotation10.Every month has a key note as the main topic for the monthly

meditation.

Happy reading & Enjoy your study!May God bless you!
