PN 1). As Pentecostal believers, we are called to live a life grounded in faith, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and guided by the promises of God. The scriptures in 2 Chronicles 1, 2, 3, and John 10:1-23 provide rich insights into God’s faithfulness, wisdom, and guidance for His people. Through this Bible study, we will explore the significance of God’s promises, their interpretation, and practical applications for daily living in the Pentecostal Christian faith.
Exploring 2 Chronicles 1, 2, 3, and John 10:1-23 can provide valuable insights and practical applications for Pentecostal believers in their daily lives. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Seeking God’s Wisdom: In 2 Chronicles 1, we see how Solomon asked God for wisdom to lead his people effectively. Pentecostal believers can also seek God’s Wisdom through prayer and study of His Word to make wise decisions in their personal and spiritual lives.
2. Building God’s House: In 2 Chronicles 2 and 3, Solomon undertakes the construction of the Temple, a place where God’s Presence would dwell among His People. This can serve as a reminder for Pentecostal Christians to prioritize building their spiritual lives and cultivating a close relationship with God.
3. The Good Shepherd: In John 10:1-23, Jesus is portrayed as the Good Shepherd who cares for and protects His sheep. Pentecostal believers can find comfort and assurance in knowing that Jesus watches over them, guides them, and provides for their needs.
4. Listening to God’s Voice: Just as the sheep listen to the voice of the shepherd in John 10, Pentecostal believers are encouraged to tune their ears to hear God’s Voice through prayer, scripture reading, and the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
5. Following Jesus: Jesus emphasises in John 10:1-23 that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Pentecostal Christians can follow Jesus as their Shepherd and trust in His Guidance for their lives.
6. Unity and Purpose: Through these passages, Pentecostal believers can be reminded of the importance of Unity within the Body of Christ and working together to fulfil God’s Purposes on earth.
Further exploring the Bible study around God’s Promises in 2 Chronicles 1, 2, 3, and John 10:1-23 for Pentecostal believers can provide additional insights and practical applications for daily living. Here are some more detailed points to consider:
1. Spiritual Preparedness: In 2 Chronicles 1, Solomon’s request for wisdom demonstrates the importance of seeking God’s guidance and preparing oneself spiritually for the tasks ahead. Pentecostal believers can emulate Solomon’s example by prioritizing prayer, seeking God’s wisdom, and being spiritually prepared for the challenges they face.
2. Holiness and Purity: The construction of the temple in 2 Chronicles 2 and 3 highlights the significance of holiness and purity in worshipping God. Pentecostal Christians can reflect on the need to maintain a pure heart and consecrated life before God, honouring His presence in their lives and communities.
3. Sheepfold Analogy: John 10 presents the analogy of Jesus as the Good Shepherd and believers as His sheep. Pentecostal believers can draw strength from this imagery, knowing that Jesus lovingly cares for them, protects them from harm, and leads them to green pastures. This understanding can foster a deeper relationship of trust and dependence on Jesus in daily living.
4. Voice of God: John 10 highlights the importance of discerning and following the voice of God. Pentecostal believers can cultivate sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s leading, learning to distinguish His voice from other distractions or influences. This practice can help believers make informed decisions and walk in alignment with God’s will.
5. Divine Guidance: Through these passages, Pentecostal believers are encouraged to trust in Jesus as the ultimate guide and source of truth. By following His teachings, example, and promptings, believers can navigate life’s challenges with confidence and assurance of being led by the Good Shepherd.
6. Sacrificial Living: The construction of the temple in 2 Chronicles involved sacrifice and dedication. Pentecostal believers can draw inspiration from the commitment of Solomon and the builders, being willing to offer themselves as living sacrifices for God’s service and Kingdom purposes.
In conclusion, the study of God’s promises in 2 Chronicles and the teachings of Jesus in John 10 offer Pentecostal believers a roadmap for spiritual Growth, Discernment, and Obedient living. By seeking God’s Wisdom, maintaining holiness, listening to His Voice, and following the example of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, we can experience a deeper relationship with God and walk in His purposes for our lives. Let us continue to trust in God’s Unfailing Promises, lean on His Guidance, and live out our faith with boldness, knowing that He is faithful to lead us into Abundant Life and Eternal Blessings.

PN 3). In exploring the Bible Study around God’s promises and their practical applications for daily living within the Pentecostal Christian faith, we can draw from the following passages in 2 Chronicles 7, 8, 9, and John 11:1-29 from the Names of God Translation.
1. 2 Chronicles 7:14:
“However, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, search for me, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear their prayer from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their country.”
Interpretation: This verse highlights the importance of humility, prayer, seeking God, and repentance as key components in receiving God’s forgiveness and healing.
Application: Pentecostal believers can incorporate this principle into their daily lives by regularly engaging in self-examination, seeking God’s Guidance through prayer, and turning away from any sinful behaviours.
2. 2 Chronicles 8:16:
“All of Solomon’s work was carried out from the day the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was laid until it was completed. Yahweh’s temple was now finished.”
Interpretation: This verse emphasizes the importance of fulfilling God’s instructions and requirements diligently in all aspects of life, just as Solomon completed the work for the temple.
Application: Pentecostal believers can apply this by striving for excellence in every task, following God’s Will with precision, and trusting in His guidance for completion.
3. 2 Chronicles 9:23:
“All the kings of the world wanted to listen to the wisdom that Elohim gave Solomon.”
Interpretation: God’s Wisdom granted to Solomon was so remarkable that it drew the attention and admiration of worldly leaders.
Application: Pentecostal Christians can seek God’s Wisdom earnestly through prayer, study of His Word, and reliance on the Holy Spirit for guidance in making decisions, thereby attracting others to witness God’s Work in their lives.
4. John 11:25-26:
“Yeshua said to her, “I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?'”
Interpretation: Jesus is the Source of Eternal Life, and belief in Him guarantees everlasting life even beyond physical death.
Application: Pentecostal believers should reaffirm their faith in Jesus as the Giver of life, trusting in His Promises of Eternal Life and sharing this hope with others as a testimony to God’s Faithfulness.
By studying and meditating on these passages, Pentecostal Christians can deepen their understanding of God’s promises, gain insight into interpreting His Word, and actively apply these principles to their daily lives for spiritual growth and impact.
LET’S PRAY:

1. God’s Promises in Times of Crisis: Just as King Rehoboam faced challenges and division in his kingdom in 2 Chronicles 10, Pentecostal believers may encounter trials and tribulations in their lives. However, God promises to be with us and guide us through difficult times. Trust in God’s Sovereignty even in the midst of turmoil.
2. Interpreting God’s Word: In 2 Chronicles 11, we see the importance of seeking God’s Guidance and following His Commands.

Allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate the Scriptures and lead you in the right path.
3. Practical Applications for Daily Living: In 2 Chronicles 12, we witness King Rehoboam’s humility and repentance before God when faced with judgment. Pentecostal Christians can learn from this example by humbling themselves before the Lord, repenting of sins, and seeking His Mercy and Forgiveness daily. Let our lives reflect the Grace and Love of God in all our actions.
4. Faith in God’s Promises: In John 11:30-57, the account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead displays the power of God’s Promises and the importance of unwavering faith.
