Bible study with Bunmi

Wanting to change and changing are not the same. Quite often as Christians, we expect that once we set our hearts to change, we will. But we find that it is easier to say we want to change rather than change. We start off motivated but this motivation wears off after some time. Hence, we don't experience lasting change. In this Bible study, we examine how we can change effortlessly. This is no...

Many believers desire to see results and God's promises fulfilled in their lives. The Bible tells us that we must be spiritually mature to see the fullness of God's Word and promises. In this Bible study, we consider spiritual maturity for the Body of Christ. Using Ephesians 4:11-15 and 2 Peter 1:5-8, we study God's desire for us as Christians. We see that God desires for believers, th...

A new year brings renewed hope that things will be great. Believers are among those who have this hope. We seek God's Word for the year and pray that this year will be better than the last. However, life has shown that a new year doesn't always include new experiences, opportunities and blessings. For that to happen, we have to let the Holy Spirit lead us and do what He says. We have to be willing...

With a New Year, many will set resolutions and goals which won't be met. But as a believer, that doesn't have to be your story. In this Bible study, we look at practical ways to have a great New Year, and it all starts before January 1. We consider Thanksgiving a reflective tool, noting the lessons and experiences we've had and determining our focus in the New Year. Grab your journal. You're going...

It's very easy to go through life as a believer without considering what God thinks about your body. But the Bible and God have a lot to say about your body. In this Bible study, we look at God's thoughts about our bodies. We also look at why caring for our bodies like God does is important. Finally, we consider some practical ways we can care for our bodies as believers. Listen and be blessed.

It is possible to be a believer in debt. Read the widow's story in 2 Kings 4: 1-7 and you'll see that you can have the gift of prophecy and be in debt. But you don't have to be in debt. The Word of God has the answer for your debt freedom. God wants you to be debt-free and living in a state of self-sufficiency. But how do you get there? Through the Word most importantly. In this Bible study, we co...

When you mention the word tithe in Christian circles, you will get multiple reactions. From those who tithe religiously to those who believe your tithe (and giving) is a waste of money. But what does the Bible say about tithing? Should we tithe as new covenant believers? Is it an Old Testament or New Testament thing? Is there a percentage you should tithe? Is it net or gross income? Should it go t...

We can't talk about kingdom wealth without talking about giving. Giving is a key part of who we are. God gave us His only begotten Son. Giving is an act of love. What is giving, and how should we give as New Testament believers? In this study, we examine Paul's famous chapter on giving, 2 Corinthians 9. We look at the posture we should have about giving and the two good things that come from givin...

Most of us desire wealth even if we don't say it out loud. However, we think we will become wealthy through what we do externally. But for believers, wealth is internal before it is external. Using Ezekiel 47, we see how being God's temple positions us to be wealthy. We learn about the Holy Spirit expressing Himself through us, to usher us into the wealth of God. Listen and be blessed.

By Bible standards, Abraham was a wealthy man. The Bible talks about his herds, servants, gold and silver in addition to descendants like the dust of the earth. How did he gain all this? What does Abraham's life teach us about wealth? In this Bible study, we look at Abraham and 2 key aspects of his life that made him wealthy. Listen and be blessed.

When you think of wealth, what comes to your mind? Money, houses, cars, net worth and the likes? Our world defines wealth by these things but is that all there is to wealth? How does the Bible describe wealth? In this Bible study, we begin a series into wealth as defined by the Bible. We learn what wealth is and who is the owner of wealth. Listen and be blessed. If you want to grow spiritually and...

According to the Bible, there are different kinds of people. When we come to the Body of Christ, we have different people with various kinds of hearts. Our hearts define the type of Christian we are. Using the parable of the sower found in Matthew 13 and Luke 8, we consider the different kinds of Christians there are. We consider the kind of Christians we are and how we can become the ones that pr...

We are often told that we need to read the Bible. So, we pick it up and start reading. We hope reading the Bible will give us the results or answers we want. Yet after a little while of reading the Bible, nothing happens. Maybe you have been reading your Bible and studying using devotionals. You've prayed, yet it seems God isn't answering your prayers. In this Bible study, we look at why t...

Marriage was God's idea, not man's. When God created man, placed him in Eden and saw a gap, He filled it. In this concluding part of the series, we study God's design for marriage. Using Genesis 2 as our foundational text, we study God's process of creating a woman to complement the man. We see God's heart and design for marriage and get a clear picture of what marriage should...

God is the source of all things. Everything was created for Him and by Him. The masterpiece of His creation in Genesis chapter 1 was man. The Passion Translation calls man God's masterpiece In Genesis 1:27. With this masterpiece, God had a plan and put that plan in motion from the minute man was created. In that plan, the man would rule and reign over the earth, representing God. This Bible st...

When God created the heavens and the earth, He had a plan in His mind. He knew what He wanted to see and spoke it into reality. We continue studying what God did at the beginning of creation so we can live aligned with His original design. Using Genesis 1, we answer the question, "If God is real, why are bad things happening in the world?" We also learn about the 4 markers of God's p...

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth is a familiar verse from the book of Genesis. The first 2 chapters of Genesis detail the story of creation and God's original design for man and the earth. Over the next few weeks, we'll spend time studying what God did and how we are meant to live using that knowledge. In this Bible study, we delve into Genesis 1 seeking to know and...

We are daily making choices and hoping for the best possible outcome. No one wants to make a choice that ends badly. Yet, in today's Bible study, we see Peter made a bad choice. After Judas' betrayal, there was a gap in the disciples' group. Looking at Acts 1, we see them choosing a new apostle. We also get to see the error of the method they chose. From this Bible study, you'll le...

One of the most frustrating places for Christians is that space between what God said and your daily reality. Many times, we receive a promise from God or believe one from scripture. We pray, declare and sometimes, the promise seems to take its sweet time. What do we do as Christians when this happens? Is there even anything we can do?  In this Bible study, using the life of Joseph and delving int...

When people become born again, they come into a new life through Christ Jesus. Believers become citizens of the Kingdom of God. You could say our spiritual nationalities changed. It is expected that this change of citizenship should bring about a change of lifestyle but for many believers, this is not so. To reap the benefits of that citizenship and experience a different life in Christ, the Apost...

There's a part that many of us Christians would like to scratch out of the Bible. Jesus said in John 16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” The reality for believers is that there will be tribulation. Being a Christian doesn't exempt you from tribulations. If we can't esca...

If God has called you to do anything, you may have felt inadequate at some point. Or you may be feeling inadequate even now. You may be looking at the work He has asked you to do and it seems like a mammoth task. I can assure you that you are in good company. Jesus' disciples felt the same way. In this Bible study, we learn how to deal with inadequacy from Jesus' interactions with His disc...

God speaks to His children in many ways. The essence of Him speaking is to convey information, provide direction and lead His children in the path of righteousness. In this final Bible study on hearing God, we learn about listening, receiving and responding to God's words. We also study visions, trances and prophecies as ways God uses to speak to His children. Finally, we learned to use God&#3...

God wants His children to hear Him. It is expected that His children not only hear His voice but follow Him. When God speaks, it is clear and leads us in the direction He wants. In this Bible study, starting from Habakkuk 2 and moving into the Acts of the Apostles, we learn how God speaks. We see the Holy Spirit speaking clearly to Paul hearing an audible voice. We see how angels are God's mou...

Christians want to hear God. It is one of the constants in the prayers you hear today. "I want to hear God's voice," is mentioned often among Christians. They want to hear God's voice about their lives, careers, relationships, ministries, purpose and so on. In this first part of our study on hearing God, we look at Jesus' words in John 10: 27. As Christians, Jesus says we hea...
