Looking back to 4 years ago and I didn’t know anything 😂. Was a believer, behaved properly most of the time ,always listened in church , wrote notes , prayed sometimes and read my Bible some times, used to win Sunday school prizes , even cramped a whole book 😂😂
I “knew” the Bible or so I thought, but I didn’t know anything 😂. My theology was shaky as hell, the foundation no strong like that but I didn’t know . I truly believed , truly did .
I came to uni and met @Ogbeni_AfroMan teaching the Word of God . Bruh, I was confused . It was like I had been reading the back of my Bible and I didn’t get 😂This man would breakdown scriptures and show us in the Bible . It was right there . Everything was there .
I had read them before , could even recite some so why didn’t I get it like that before . Justification by faith etc - Everything was right there .
Then Pastor Sekoue came to teach a 3 day program using Eph 1:3 “ we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings “ ...
Bruh the man shook me to the core . Like in normal Bolaji fashion , I stood up to argue on the first day 😂. I was ready for him , this man answered me with a question and left me dumbfounded. I made sure to attend the remaining days , it was like film trick .
He knew his stuff , you could tell He really did . The way He spoke , his mannerisms, the way He would be spitting scriptures off head . I started wondering the version of Christianity I had been using cause I didn’t understand 💀.
I felt like a baby, like a silly child . Started taking the things of God more seriously. Found people like Nia Cerise on YouTube . This babe was crying while preaching the gospel , so full of passion . “Is it the same gospel I have heard abi another one ?😂
Started following more Christian accounts on here . I desired the gifts of speaking in tongues , went on a fast . “Lord show me your glory 😭😭“, something that He has shown me in the face of Jesus Christ 💀😂.
Started speaking in tongues , engaging the gifts of prophecy . Joined a group called KF and it really helped me in the revelational gifts . It was like my eyes just opened , like all this while I had been reading Chinese .
Now I could hear God speak, could discern what He was saying to me and others , could discern which dreams were from Him and the one that were just madness . I didn’t just have a head knowledge of God but also a heart one . My Savior loves me and I knew it .
2 years ago , I came across @pfemiolaleye’s message on Salvation on here cause @Dami_maverick tweeted it . Bruh I was listening to it and my mind was blown , I wanted to shout . You mean to tell me Jesus was always the original plan ??? Lmao I wan ment 😂
But again , It was in the Bible !!!Everything He was saying was there , not exactly hidden or distorted .
Last summer to be precise , I came across his teaching on “ Interpreting the scriptures “ again I began wondering what I had been learning all these years 😂
The message of the Bible is Christocentric. The whole point of the Bible is Jesus Christ . Jesus Christ is in the OT from GENESIS TO MALACHI but as typologies . He is there in the Law, Prophet and the Psalms.
We interpreted through the Bible through the lens of Christ . Funny enough Pastor Sekoue came for a 3 day program in December and preached on the same thing . It was like God didn’t want me to forget what I learnt in the summer.
The point of this thread is this “ BECAUSE YOU READ THE BIBLE, DOESN’T MEAN YOU UNDERSTOOD IT . IT DOESN”T MEAN YOU INTERPRETED CORRECTLY .“ I would know , I am just seeing the Bible more clearly than ever before . My “growth” happened 4 years ago .
