3 WAYS TO STUDY YOUR BIBLE — APOSTLE MICHAEL OROKPO
The Word of God is not a religious literature; it is a spiritual conveyor belt that transfers the life of God into a man. Apostle Michael Orokpo teaches that when a believer does not handle Scripture with reverence and hunger, the Bible becomes text—yet it was designed to be fire. “Thy words were found, and I did eat them…” (Jeremiah 15:16). The first way to study your Bible is to approach it as a feeding system, not an intellectual exercise. A man who eats the Word grows in stature. A man who only reads it remains at the mercy of circumstances. When you sit with the Scriptures, you are absorbing the thoughts of God, swallowing His patterns, and downloading His perspective. It is in this posture of feeding that the Word begins to break addictions, crush lust, weaken the flesh, strengthen your spirit, and rebuild your convictions. You don’t rush the Word—you eat it until the Spirit breathes upon what you read and it becomes revelation.
The second way to study your Bible is to approach the Scriptures as a training manual for priesthood. Apostle Michael Orokpo emphasizes that no one becomes mighty in the spirit by wishing; men rise through training. The Bible is the syllabus of dominion. It is where you learn how to war, how to discern, how to walk in consecration, how to stand against darkness, how to recognize spiritual laws, and how to legislate with authority. “I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one” (1 John 2:14). Overcoming the wicked one is not a prayer point—it is a product of the Word dwelling richly in you. Study topics. Study patterns. Study covenants. Study the dealings of God with men. Study the operations of the Spirit. Study until light rises. Study until something enters your spirit that no demon can argue with. The Word is how warriors are forged.
The third way to study your Bible is to treat it as a portal of encounter. Every time you open Scripture, heaven is waiting to speak. The Bible says, “While Peter yet spake, the Spirit said…” (Acts 10:19). That is how the Word works: you meditate until the voice of God interrupts your thoughts. Study until verses begin to burn. Study until your spirit becomes sensitive. Study until God begins to reveal His burdens, His heart, His warnings, His assignments. In the world of spirits, encounters are not random—they are provoked. The Word opens the gate. Apostle Michael Orokpo teaches that the written Word escorts you into the realm of the Living Word. This is where Scripture becomes spirit, where verses become encounters, where reading becomes communion, and where information becomes transformation. At that point, the Bible is no longer a book; it becomes a ladder into the realities of God.
If you study the Bible by feeding, by training, and by encounter, you will not just gain knowledge—you will be transfigured. Your appetite will shift. Your discernment will sharpen. Your convictions will deepen. Your authority will rise. And gradually, the Word will shape you into a battle axe that the kingdom of darkness fears.
