Bible study with Bunmi

One of the reasons many Christians struggle with Christianity and God is that they aren't seeing results from their spiritual activities. Prayers aren't getting answered, negative experiences abound and life looks nothing like what the pastor teaches. To experience the life that God has for us, we must know who we are and what we have in Christ Jesus. In this Bible study, we look at Ephesi...

In this Bible study, we reflect and study the effect of what see on our lives as believers. Using 2 Corinthians 2:18, Romans 10:17 and Matthew 6: 22-23, we study what happens to us based on what we are reading and watching. We see the effects of sight and why paying attention to what we are letting past our eyes is important. We also study the effect of seeing the word of God regularly. Listen and...

Many believers know God is real and that miracles can happen. But when a desire takes a while to be fulfilled, people lose hope and sometimes, it seems as though it might never happen. In this Bible study taken from John 5: 1-9, we look at the story of the man by the pool of Bethesda. We study his interaction with Jesus and learn what God expects us to do when we are faced with a similar situation...

One of the words you will hear bandied around in Christian circles is authority. You'll hear preachers and teachers tell Christians that they have authority but what does that mean? As believers, we need to know what we have been given through Christ Jesus. In this Bible study, we look through the scriptures at God's original plan for man, how authority traded places and the way authority...

As believers, we have been translated from the kingdom of darkness into a kingdom of light. How things worked before we became believers is different to how things work in this new kingdom. The way this kingdom operates is by words. In this study, we see how God created all that we see by using words. We studied Genesis 1, Genesis 2:7 and Hebrews 11:3 to see how words shaped what we see today. As...

Many of us believers have been told we should not sin since we could talk and act. From a young age, we've had those who had charge of us tell us not to do the wrong things. In the church today, we spend loads of time asking God to forgive us our sins. What is God's take on sin? What do we need to do to overcome sin? In this Bible study, we look at sin and the work of Christ concerning it....

Believers were described by Jesus in Matthew 5 as salt and light. The epistles and most of the New Testament talk a lot about how believers are supposed to be and act because of the Holy Spirit in them. In this Bible study, as we continue understanding the fundamentals of our faith, we study the character of a believer. We study 1 Timothy 3: 1-9 and Galatians 5:22-25 in the Amplified version. We l...

God has made many promises to the Body of Christ through His Word. As believers, we have to lay hold of these great and precious promises so that we can see them fulfilled in our lives. As we continue our understanding of the foundations of our faith, we study 2 Corinthians 1:20. In this study, we see what God has said about His promises for those of us who are in Christ Jesus. We learn about what...

What is righteousness? How do we access it? What do we have to do to keep or maintain it? Can we lose our righteousness? Can we even be righteous as God is? Using various verses in the book of Romans, Philippians and 2 Corinthians 5, we study righteousness, what it means and how a believer is made righteous. Listen and be blessed. If this podcast blesses you, please share it with your friends and...

Faith is usually the first step for a believer. It takes faith to believe in Jesus, confess that He is Lord and surrender your life to Him. But after that, what next? In this Bible study, we continued our study on the basics every believer should know. We studied 2 Peter 1: 1-9, Galatians 5:1 and 1 John 1:5 as we built an understanding of who God is, who Jesus is and what we have as believers. Lis...

Every believer needs to know certain basic truths about their faith, God, Jesus and life in the kingdom. The sad truth is many don't based on a lack of the gospel being taught in the Body of Christ. In this Bible study, we go back to the basics and foundational truths that every believer must know. This is the first part in the series as we learn the foundational truths of a believer. Our foun...

Many believers know the scriptures. We get to see and hear Bible verses from soundbites in the Sunday sermon to WhatsApp broadcast messages. Then we hear people's interpretation of scriptures and sometimes take them hook line and sinker. This Bible study examines what it means to rightly divide the word of truth (2 Timothy 2: 15). Using Matthew 6:33, we learn not only to divide the word of God...

Salvation in its simplest form is being saved from death and restored back to God. Man and God had an intimate relationship but in Genesis chapter 3, there was a separation between them due to sin. Salvation is a gift for all the world but what does it mean? When we become saved, do we stay saved or can we lose our salvation? Do we have to work to keep our salvation? In this Bible study, our main...

God has a plan for all our lives is a phrase we hear often in Christian circles. We hear it over and over but what does it mean? In this Bible study, we study the scriptures in Psalm 139:14-16 and Psalm 119:6 to understand what God has planned for our lives. We learn how comparison can take us out of alignment with God's plan. We also learn how to live a life devoid of comparison so that we ca...

As believers, we need faith to live the life that God has for us. What then is faith? Faith in the simplest of terms is to believe. It is to have a conviction about something or someone, in our case, God and Jesus. To grow your faith, you must first understand what faith is and the part it plays in your life. We study Romans 1:17, 10: 9-10 & 17 and James 2:14-18 in this Bible study. We learn w...

When Jesus was on the earth, He operated by the power of the Holy Spirit. As He prepared to leave, He told His disciples about the Holy Spirit, a Helper He would give them to be with them. As believers of Jesus Christ, we have the same Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God in us. Yet, to fully enjoy Him, we must know His role in us. We must also know how to grow our relationship with Him so that He can h...

Feelings are totally normal. They act similar to the sensors on a car, telling you what is happening in and around you. The challenge is when they rule and dictate how we live and function as people. They were never to be leaders but a guide to heighten our awareness. As believers, we must know what our feelings represent and how to manage them. In this Bible study, we study how the psalmist in Ps...

Many Christians pray but they do it as though they are shooting at a target they can't see. People don't know if their prayers will be answered which is contrary to how Jesus prayed. Jesus prayed knowing His prayers would be answered and He expects the same of us. In this Bible study, we study how to pray like Jesus so that we are praying in alignment with God. We can pray accurately, know...

We pray and then wonder why God doesn't respond. When this happens over and over, we can become discouraged and upset with God. The reason we don't get answers sometimes is because we ask God to validate our desires, instead of His will. God wants to fulfil His will in our lives. All the blessings of God are attached to His will for us. In this bible study, we look at the story of Jesus an...

Prophecies are part and parcel of the life of a believer. The Bible is filled with so many prophecies about Jesus, believers and what God is doing. In our modern times, these can seem far removed but prophecies are being spoken every day. When you get a prophecy or prophetic word, it is pointing you to God's heart concerning you in the future. So, how do you get the prophecy to come to pass? I...

As Christians, many of us know that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for us. If people ask if we are saved, we might answer in the affirmative. This is great but there is more to our salvation than just being saved. In this episode, we study the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32. Our focus is on the latter verses where we are introduced to the older son. Many preachers share about...

Life happens. We face challenges but some challenges are tougher than others. You lose a job and none seems to be on the horizon. A loved one falls sick. You have a mountain of debt and everyone wants their money like yesterday. How do you get out of such a situation as a believer? We see the answer in 2 Kings 4:1-7. In this bible study, we study how a woman who was in debt was rescued thanks to t...

You hear about beliefs from various quarters. It could be from that coach or influencer on social media or your church pastor. Even non-Christians know that beliefs are important and you'll hear people speaking about overcoming limiting beliefs. In this episode, we study the effects of beliefs on our life experiences. We see the effect of having the right belief and where to start when you wan...

In this episode, we study why knowledge is important. As Christians, ignorance isn't bliss and we can't afford to be ignorant. We learn that if we don't have knowledge, especially as God's children, we will live a substandard life. Hosea 4:6 is our anchor scripture. We must spend time in the Word of God to know God, His nature, Spirit, ways and thoughts towards us.

In this episode, we study the freedom Christ made available to us and what that means for us. As Christians, we are free from the law of sin and death but if we don't know this, we will live like those who aren't. We study 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:1-2, Ephesians 2:1-9 and John 8:32. To live free, we need to know what Christ did and our position in Christ. This comes by spending time in...
