The Bible is a divine book yet it is a literary material. It was written in human language, so it contains various writing styles and different forms. 

To understand the Bible, you must first understand that it isn't meant to be read separately. The Old testament is the new testament concealed and the new testament is the old testament revealed, this should be our approach.

There's a right way to divide the Word of God, this means there's also a wrong way so we have to be studious when it comes to the study of God's word and this will take time and effort. 

There are ways to approach studying the Bible, both the Old and New Testament and this involves reading each book with respect to their genres.

Every believer is highly combustible and capable of catching fire, all you need to do is to set yourself. 

There are 3 important things to know about fire:

1. Fire is an emblem

2. This fire doesn't destroy, it sanctifies 

3. There's a system to fire. 

Fire produces results and ministry should be done with fire. 

God will have you always on fire and it is your responsibility to not quench it. 

The next most important thing after salvation is revelation knowledge and a lot of study has to go into the knowledge of who you are in Christ. You can't leave your spiritual growth to chance.

One thing that must be learnt is honour for the Word of God. Before you learn how to understand the Word, learn how to value it. There are ways the Word of God should be received:

1. Receive it with all humility and meekness

2. Receive it objectively

3. Receive it with joy

There's a standard in God and you must study to reach this. The Word of God gives brings clarity and must be our guide.

Proper Bible study will take time and effort and this must be our life not just a lifestyle.

God's structure for the sustenance of the believer is the church of Christ, and the result of consistency is progress. For something to stand the test of time, it takes time so

1. Commit to your growth in the Word

2. Commit to your church because that's one place growth will happen

God's plan for every believer is Spiritual growth; as believers, there must be a target for your growth. You must be committed to and diligent with your growth, and this requires staying and remaining under the tutelage of your ministry gift and applying yourself.

The greatest proof of Jesus being the Messianic King is His resurrection and this means:

1. Our sins have been forgiven

2. The question of life after death is answered and is no longer a mystery

3. Jesus is Lord and King over our hearts

Theology doesn't end in knowledge, the ultimate goal is to transcend knowledge to understanding and beyond understanding to practice it. So, it must be evident that God is King in our life.

The central theme of the Bible is salvation and even in the fall of man, we see 3 things:

1. Rebellion

2. Judgement and exile

3. Plan for Salvation

God is a master communicator and through the whole Bible, we see Him communicate about a saviour, "The Christ".
