“Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth … All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 2:15, AMP; 2 Timothy 3:16017, NKJV).
COME ON BOARD NOW AND ENJOY A GREAT RIDE WITH THE FATHER THIS YEAR 2016, IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY ON IT! We have started reading and studying the Bible again this Year since the 1st of January. Know that it is not too late to join us and get started. Reading your Bible, studying the Word of God, and walking daily by its standards and injunctions is your greatest asset to overcome all the challenges that come your way now or in the future. As a believer, it is your most powerful weapon of dominion on earth, when used in conjunction with the authority God has given you based on your intimacy with Him. Reading your Bible all the way through is a great spiritual exercise that has the potential to equip you with the truth of God’s word so you are not deceived or destroyed by lack of knowledge of God’s word (Hosea 4:6).
Remember, it is the truth you know that can set you free. Don’t be deceived or influenced by people who tell you that you don’t need to read your entire Bible. Yes! You do need to read your entire Bible—at least to know what is in there for yourself. There is so much treasure hidden in the Word of God that you can access each and every time you spend time in the Word of God. And the cool thing about it is that, no matter how many times you read the Word of God or even the same passage of the Bible, each time you read it, you will learn something new from it. This is because the Holy Spirit, the One who inspired the writing of the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16-17), will always quicken or bring it alive before you. He will also show you something new you have never seen there before. Awesome!
Two Years ago, I challenged a group of Christians I went to minister to at a Career Development program on the need to embark on a yearly reading of the Bible, as that is critical to a life of success. One of the ladies took that challenge seriously and began to read her Bible since then. I got a letter from her after my return from my mission to Nigeria, saying: “Dear Rev. Ifeoma, Welcome back to Britain! We thank GOD for journey mercies and His goodness and grace to you and your family. We thank God for the wonderful testimonies from Nigeria and the way the living God is using you to bless His people.
It is amazing what God is doing through you. I know for myself, within the short period I have been in contact with you, how the anointing which God has given you is flowing in my direction. Numerous testimonies abound. Can you remember last Year when you came to do a session on career development for our fellowship, and you asked how many of us have read the Bible from cover to cover, and very few of us put our hands up?
Although I do read the Bible, I have never read it from cover to cover. So from that day I took it upon myself as a challenge to read the Bible. I can testify to the glory of God that I have read the Bible from cover to cover to the greater glory of God. Thanks for your encouragement. I can truly say it is one of the best stories ever written. There are so many words we take for granted that have their origin from the Bible. There is nothing about life you can’t find in the Bible. It can make you laugh and it can make you cry. We look forward to the next dose of inspirational talk on our next career development day. Remain Blessed”—J. O., Sheffield.
May I add that to my further amazement and joy, this lady has now developed her own business—designing T-shirts with Christian motifs. I was so thrilled hearing her share at the recent OFNC Women in Business and Leadership Conference (WINBLE, Nov. 14th, 2015), where I was invited as the Guest Entrepreneur, that she was so impacted by that exercise I gave, and has used that framework of reading her entire Bible, to now get words from the Bible which actually help her powerfully convey her messages on her T-Shirts to her target clients. GLORY TO GOD!
Since 1989, I made it one of my yearly goals to read my Bible from Genesis – Revelation, at least once each Year. By the special grace of God, I have now done it twenty-five times in over twenty-seven years of knowing and serving my precious Lord Jesus Christ. Not an easy thing to do, but His grace has made it possible. From what I have gained from this exercise over the years, I am better equipped to rightly divide and handle His word of truth—a great key that has positively influenced my Ministry, business, writings, songs, mentorship, counseling, relationships, and my day to day dealings with people. I trust God totally to endow me with the grace to continue to study His word diligently all the days of my life.
Wonders of the Word of God
My book, “Wonders Of The Word of God”, contains amongst other nuggets of truth, a CAREFULLY WRITTEN, SIMPLE-TO-FOLLOW BIBLE READING PLAN that allows you to be able to read your Bible from Genesis to Revelation in 365 days. Following the launching of this life-changing book in December 2014, our Ministry introduced a Bible Reading Competition alongside our Reading Plan. This was to add a bit of fun to the whole exercise while challenging each other to study.
Thus, a number of us embarked on reading our Bibles using the Bible plan in my book, and looking to see who would be the first to finish. Well, although I wrote the Bible plan we followed, and many others are also following now, I must admit that I was not the first to finish this adventure of faith last year, but the second person. Our brother, J. Harris, who took on the challenge to read his Bible all through for the first time, finished it in seven months before us all. Here is his view on the whole exercise:
“The Bible plan was a great challenge to me personally. It’s the first time that I’ve read the Bible all the way through. The plan is excellent to keep you challenged. I am so pleased to have read my entire Bible in less than 8 months. I am continuing to read it before starting all over again in the New Year. The challenges were that I had to make time even if I was reading late in the day just to make sure I read daily. The most exciting thing was that after having read the three chapters, I really enjoyed continuing to read more chapters before I finished for the day. I recommend buying the book, “Wonders of the Word of God” to help you just as much as it has helped me. It will help you find out more about The Word of God. If you haven’t read the Bible, how will you understand Jesus?”
In the words of Grace Edwards, who also used my Bible Reading Plan: “Using this Bible Reading Plan and being involved in the competition has encouraged and challenged me to step up in my Bible reading too. I also thank God for this Bible Reading Plan in Apostle Ifeoma’s book, Wonders of the Word of God.” I enjoyed this book very much, and it certainly fanned my hunger for the Word of God and provided an easy strategy for me to follow in reading my Bible. Praise God indeed”—G.E., Liverpool.
To God be the glory! Let me reiterate that it is not too late to start reading your Bible either for the first time or another time again. Beginning is one thing, but having the guts to finish it is an entirely different thing. And this requires acute focus and perseverance.
The Word of God is sweeter than honey: “More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb … How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (Psalm 19:10; 119:103). The Bible is an uncommon goldmine that we can never exhaust all of its immeasurable content.
So come on board and join our team to study the word of God in a new way. Although challenging, it is great fun to embark on reading your entire Bible consistently each Year, and doing it with others as well, following a simple, exciting, and yet very powerful easy-to-use Bible reading plan tailored to suit all categories of people regardless of their level of spiritual maturity. No doubt, this Bible reading plan will help you to press in more into the word of God—our greatest weapon of warfare against the enemy, to take hold of all it has for you to enable you to reign in life, while still pleasing God.

“How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word … Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You … Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path” (Psalm 119:9, 11, 105).
