Appropriate and effective bible interpretation is non-negotiable. In achieving this, a reader of the bible today must therefore be at home with the language of the bible and the literal and non-literal interpretation of the texts of the bible.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

Scriptures are interpreted from the known to the unknown. The known obvious bible texts are used to explain the slightly difficult text that requires explanation to be understood.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

God communicated his plan right within man's language, but the caution is to ensure that every form of mischief in interpretation is avoided.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

A foremost law of biblical interpretation (hermeneutics) is that the bible should be interpreted literally, in plain meaning.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

If you don’t know the scriptures, you don’t know Jesus and if you don’t know Jesus, you don’t know God.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

The mind, thought, idea or logic of God took the form of a man... anytime we take the bible to read, we must be sure that we are learning about Christ.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

Knowing the scriptures is knowing God. Any knowledge of God outside the documented scriptures is false.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

Jesus is the word means he is the plan, idea, thought and mindset of God. You cannot know God without knowing Jesus.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

The word of God is a person, and Jesus is the word, so we can safely say that, the Bible is Christocentric, meaning the bible is Christ-centered.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

The Bible is the authority and standard of all that we believe as Christians. Every practice and experience in the Christian faith must be judged by the bible.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

Don't be discouraged if you have been preaching and praying for years but the increase in numbers is not showing; keep on learning, praying, and preaching, your labor will be rewarded.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

Church growth sometimes takes time; it requires much preaching and prayer to achieve genuine growth.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

It's better to be genuine than to be fake; Jesus will reward faithfulness, not numbers.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

Using material or natural things to entice people to church is not true growth.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

True church growth is measured by the number of born-again believers added to the church or the spiritual growth of the members.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

The church is not meant to teach life skills like finance or business; that's the role of well-structured, certified institutions.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

A pastor's expertise is the Bible; they must stay within their call and allow well-trained individuals to teach life skills.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

The church must focus on the needful instead of trying to be a jack of all trades.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

The Bible is for teaching Christ, not a certified book for teaching business or trade skills.

[Joshua Aderemi Adekunle @EpignosisDaddy]

The church's primary focus should be on spiritual growth through the preaching of Christ, not on meeting every need of its members.
