INTRODUCTION
Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Here is a
compilation of the materials we have developed over series of editions. We
use this in training our participants for the SGS New Testament Bible Reading.
We have decided to compile it here for the benefit of all. You may find some
allusions to few past information which may not be directly related to the
present condition. This is because this was prepared for a particular edition
of SGS Reading.
This training has helped thousands, tens of thousands and have continued to
help several thousands in doing the seemingly unachievable. It has helped
them to read up their New Testament in a month’s period, which many have
been unable to do even in decades. Many altars have been revived, many lives
changed, fire set in the hearts of many, and what do we say of the miracles and
breakthroughs that God has given to thousands as a result of their committing
themselves to the reading of the Word of God in a way they have never done
before.
As you read and go through the first edition of this compilation, it is our prayer
that God will cause the same fire and transformation this training has caused
in many in you also in Jesus Name. God bless.

TRAINING DAY 1
WELCOME ADDRESS BY SGS CONVENER
You are not the first to do this and by the grace of God, you will not be the last.
Like we said earlier, over 40,000 persons have done this before you. Trust
God!!!
These tens of thousands have chosen to take on these 29 days journey to read
up the New Testament in one month. I'm sure that everyone who actively
joined this group, did so for this one purpose. You came because in the midst
of no time, you believe that God can help you to create time to read the Bible
massively daily. You came to encounter God like many others this one month.
As you have come to experience God, I pray that He will encounter you in Jesus
name.
Page 2
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
Let us pray!!!
Our Father in heaven, we thank You because You love us,
thank You because You have a reason why You brought each
person here. We may not know each person individually but
Father You do. You have a purpose for each life. You love them
individually and affectionately.
Like You did in many lives before, in this edition also, Lord we
ask that you set them on fire as Your children read their
Bibles. Revive them, give gifts, restore gifts, heal the sick,
wrought mighty miracles, provide jobs, open doors, break
chains, fix families, change hearts, repair bridges, give
direction, wrought miracles, do what only You can do in their
lives in Jesus’ name.
No one can come to You except You draw him. Never will You
draw anyone for nothing. You brought them to show Your
glory. They have chosen to seek You specially at this point in
time, we ask that You encounter them all. At the end, it all
shall be to the praise and glory of Your Name.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
ABOUT SGS
The full meaning is: SPIRITUAL GROWTH SCHEME, SGS (Also Known and
Registered As: Spiritual Growth Steps Ministry). SGS is a God given zeal that
began in 2012:
Page 3
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
This zeal has been our driving force for these 10 years. It has channelled itself
in different ways. As God leads and provides grace, we design programs and
schemes that help people grow spiritually. These are the six means through
which this burden has been channelled over the years:
1. Teaching meetings
2. Social media page teachings
3. Audio recordings
4. Prayer Drills
5. NT & OT readings
6. Online teachings
We are lay men and women like everyone else. We have our jobs and work.
We are not pastors, just young men and women who have received the zeal of
the Lord and wants to spread this zeal to others. Below are the present
channels that you can key into:

Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
The New Testament (NT) reading scheme that you now see today was
received in October 2018, but did not gain expression until July 2020. God laid
it on our hearts to help as many people as possible to read up the New
Testament in one month. We believe that this will help them continue reading
and studying subsequently; bringing them closer to knowing God personally,
able to challenge false doctrine and knowing right from wrong.
The Lord led us to begin some systematic teaching series online to bring
people closer to God and grow in the knowledge of Christ. We use Mixlr and
other media to get the Word of God across at 6:00pm every Friday. If you want
to be a part, please follow us on Mixlr:

To get a reminder of our meetings, ask questions and access past messages in
compressed audio files, join the group on Telegram with this link.

God in His grace and mercy also led us to kick start the online marathon
prayer. Just as you are strengthened by the Word, we want to help believers

giving it priority. if you don’t have time for bible study, for
prayer, it tells me one thing: it is not important.
So do not ever deceive yourself to say you don’t have time. You
will make time for what is important and you will not have
time for what is not important.
If you have gone over it, May I ask? Is the Bible important enough to get your
attention for the next one month?
We are all busy. We only made being a blessing to you a great priority. That is
why we are reaching you, following you, teaching you and calling you. Do not
think that these are bunch of lazy people who have no job? We own
businesses, many times on the road, working Sunday to Sunday, morning till
evening, even some late nights and mid nights. Apart from the duties to
church, to ministry and to family.
In the coming days, we will be preparing you for this one-month journey.
You will be hearing from one of our "Platoon Leaders" early in the morning of
each day going forward. (Definitely West African Time. Those outside this
time zone should kindly adjust to it)
Do well to read through and follow through the training. It has been
discovered that those who go through the training have more chance at
getting to the finish line than those that don't.
Page 8
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
The remaining were either removed, offended or exited the group before the
one month elapsed. In this edition, we have participants in tens of thousands.
The question is will you be one of those that will finish or those who will quit?
We will split the training into about six days so that you won't be overloaded.
We have about 9 short lessons to equip you with starting from tomorrow. At
the end, we will also inform you of the modalities which has proven to work
by God's grace to deliver maximum result in all our editions.
Page 9
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
One of our modalities involves dividing everyone into smaller groups, headed
by a team leader. You have all been grouped already. Your team leaders will
begin to reach you via calls, chats or SMS as from today.
Do not be alarmed when you hear from them. Their duty is to add you to a
sub-WhatsApp group, to closely monitor your progress and ensure that you
reach the finish line. Please note that your membership in this general group
is still important.
Our Batch Leaders are heads of each of our classes. They will send the name
and number of the leaders you will likely hear from soon. Yet you have to
remember that our leaders will not ask you for your WhatsApp code. They
will only text you, message you, call you and add you to a subgroup.
We have several Platoon Leaders. One of them will continue training you
going forward. Kindly channel all questions and concerns to them. The
Platoon Leader for each group will take over the training from tomorrow so
that you will know him or her. They are there to answer all your questions
and concerns. They will introduce themselves shortly and later introduce the
batch leaders who will be heading and managing your group with them.
Page 10
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
FINALLY
Now you know what SGS is. You know what we want to do in the next few days
ahead of the reading and when the reading is commencing. For those outside
West African Time zone, kindly adjust the timing to ours.
Your batch leader will open the group shortly for comments, if they have not.
The group will be closed later tonight, to be opened tomorrow morning again.
Remember to chat responsibly.
If you don't hear from our leaders today or tomorrow, do well to exercise
patience. We have thousands of leaders and tens of thousands of participants.
You will be reached. If you have not been reached by Wednesday, you can
begin to raise alarm so that your batch leaders can investigate why and fix it.
Welcome to your best one month ever! God bless you richly and have a
wonderful training ahead.
Shalom!!!

TRAINING DAY 2
Greetings friends! This is the second instalment of our training.
God's Word is important to me. You all are important to us. As I speak to you,
I have a lot to do like everyone else. I can spend this time doing many other
things that are important to me.
I can give "no time" as an excuse for not doing many things. However, I can't
give that excuse when it comes to reading God's Word. We wish we can deliver
everyone in this edition, but that is not only up to us, it is also up to each one
of you. Not because we're doubters, but because you have your part to play.
The question is what group will you be? Those that will finish or those that
will fall out?
FRIENDS, THE CHOICE IS YOURS!!!! It's our work to help you. However, the
ultimate fortitude lies in your hands.
Today we will take lessons 1, 2 & 3: Short lessons. Are you ready?
LESSON 1: READING
Hence, if you have the time, read it all up at once, otherwise; break it into
"morning and night", or "morning, afternoon and night" depending on your
schedule. 15 minutes each session.
Page 12
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
Preferably, get a hard copy Bible. However, that depends on you and your
style. Phones and tabs work perfectly for many people also.
Get a pen and preferably a marker. Be ready to mark any scripture that gets
your attention. It is your Bible, feel free to mark it and write inside it when
and where necessary. It's the way of the ancients. If softcopy Bible works for
you? Why not?
Make sure that whatever bible app you choose has a Bible marker and has a
way to save your activities online for future reference or in case you change
your phone.
Design a reading schedule or pattern that works for you. I know of someone
in SGS that read up the whole NT in one week despite working activities. Not
so tough right?
You must also read with all concentration and focus. It is required. Don't be
tempted to read up so quickly that you don't have a basic grasp of what
you are reading. If you observe that you no longer have a clue of what you've
been reading, stop and start over. Ensure complete concentration while you
read. Do not read watching TV.
Pray before you start. By prayer, you are dependent on the Holy Spirit to teach
you and reveal Jesus to you.
He is the Inspiration behind the writing of the Bible. Don't you read the Bible
without His help, otherwise, you will not be edified. By praying, you are
welcoming Him. Just a sentence of prayer is more than enough.
Page 13
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
Or
If you are reading during the day or at night: you can keep yourself awake and
alert with some snacks or nuts to keep your mouth busy. "That's if it is healthy
for you anyway." You can also share what you read with a partner or on your
sub group. You can even read a chapter, do something fun for five minutes,
share what you read with others, then read the next chapter.
You can take jottings of your questions and share also on your subgroups. We
have a special department for answering your questions. Ensure you get your
answers. Just make sure you concentrate well when you read and be in
communion with God.
You may also visit our Telegram Channel to find some of the frequently asked
questions in past editions of our Bible Reading and find answers to your
questions: https://t.me/sgsbiblequestions
David said "How sweet are thy Words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than
honey to my mouth!" Psalms 119:103 KJV. God's Word is sweet and meant
to be enjoyed.
You can get a version of your choice. I will recommend you start with either
KJV, NKJV or ESV. But if you find them hard to understand or not interesting,
get NLT, CSB or NASB2020. For starters, these six Bible versions to "the best
Page 14
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
Other versions like God's Word, Easy to read, The Message, Philips version,
The Living Bible etc. are free translation Bibles. This means that they were
explained from the translator's point of view and opinions. The translators
paraphrased the texts and did not attempt to preserve the original meaning.
The goal is to explain the text to a more contemporary audience but as a result
become distant from the historical and original meaning.
You can read these free translation Bibles later, but don't start with any of
them if this is your first time. However, if you do not understand a verse, you
can quickly check them for a wider scope of understanding.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: If you see any scripture that you wish to study: do not
fall for it immediately. Note it for subsequent study when you are done with
your scheduled reading.
We have come to the end of this instalment of the training. Quite short, isn't
it? If you have questions, do well to ask.
Tomorrow, we will take the next two short lessons. Lesson 4: Maximizing time
and Lesson 5: Discipline. Whatever you do, don't miss these lessons.
Let us pray!!!
Page 15
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
because the journey is too great for him. Grant us Father, the
preparation and victuals required for this journey. That in
the end we all may praise You.
In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Shalom!!!

Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
TRAINING DAY 3
You are welcome to the third instalment of our training.
The first six Bible versions we mentioned are those we recommended for
starters. Ultimately, the choice is yours, you can read any version of your
choice. While NIV is meant to be part, we discourage it due to the prevalent
missing verses and missing words in it due to the manuscript used. We don't
recommend it for starters.
In the next few days, a few persons will be offended and quit. Be focused.
Some have been leaving already. We try to reach some of them anyway. Out of
thousands of entries, such cannot be wanting. Do not allow anything to
deprive you of your purpose here. Once again, I say be focused.
Kindly bear with us and with one another as we allow comments during the
training week. Do not allow the multiple messages of fellow participants to
put you off. You know why you are here. We allow that so that we can take
reactions.
We will lock the groups after the training like we did before only to open on
weekends. While discussions will continue on Team groups.
Also note that we have zero tolerance for forwarding any content to this group
whatsoever. Whether you consider it important, edifying or not, please excuse
this group from such. We have one purpose and we want to stick to it.
Page 17
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
One of the keys to succeeding in this course is to know how to make maximum
use of your time.
The first step to using time effectively is to "IDENTIFY TIME WASTERS AND
DELETE THEM." Time wasters can be a gist partner, a game you love,
activities others can do for you, meetings you can avoid, social media surfing,
aimless window browsing, etc.
Another way to maximize time is to: Project idle time and make use of it.
Example:
✓ if your toilet time takes like ten minutes, you can read two chapters
while sitting on the toilet seat.
✓ If you are going to the bank and you know that there will be a queue,
just carry your Bible along.
✓ If you are stuck in a traffic, you can use that time to achieve calm as you
read your Bible, instead of agitations over what you can do little or
nothing about.
✓ If you are in a train or on a plane for an hour or more, that's your idle
time over there. Use it!
✓ If you have an appointment and you know that people might come late.
Go with your Bible.
✓ Others will be complaining that their time is being wasted but there you
are MAXIMIZING and INVESTING your time. It takes the pressure away.
✓ Cut down on TV time
✓ Cut down on 'Chat time' so that you can give yourself to the Lord this
one month.
Page 18
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
✓ If you sleep too much also, cut down on that. If you are a busy person
like me, you are going to need to readjust your sleep clock, so you can
read late at night or early in the morning. You can google search on
practical ways to adjust your sleep clock.
These are easy ways to maximize your time. We hope you find them handy.
LESSON 5: DISCIPLINE
Discipline is very essential to achieving success in every area of life. Here also,
you will need all the discipline you can get. You can never make it past the first
week without discipline.
One of the easiest disciplines we recommend is to: Tie your Bible reading
around an inevitable daily task.
You know that you cannot do without WhatsApp daily. Then resolve not to
open WhatsApp until you read five chapters. Or, you know you can't do
without your laptop in a day, then resolve not to open your laptop till you read
your nine chapters.
Page 19
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
it is that important, I resolved not to turn on my data access until I do the ONE
THING THAT IS NEEDFUL.
That's all for now. Tomorrow, we will take: Lesson 6. THE IMPORTANCE OF
READING and Lesson 7. WAR AGAINST THE WORD. Whatever you do, don't
miss any of these lessons. If you do, go and read them up. You will need the
wisdom.
TAKE NOTE: If you have not been reached by your Team Leader, please
exercise patience. If by tomorrow you are still not reached, then you can begin
to state it on this group so that your Batch Leader (BL) or Team Leader (TL)
may attend to the unique cases. Secondly, if you are reached by two or more
of our leaders, don't be alarmed. It usually means you are on two or more of
our groups. Decide the team and class that you want to belong to and inform
other leaders that you are in a team already.
Let us pray!!!
Holy Father, we thank You for these friends in tens of
thousands who have chosen to commit themselves to Your
Word. We ask dear Lord that You equip them for the journey
ahead.
Page 20
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
We pray that none will be lost of all that You have ordained
to bless and transform by this process.
We know that all things are possible with You, help them to
equip themselves, because the journey is great.
Let this exercise not be in vain over anyone. Lord, we
cooperate with You during this one month to perform all that
You want to do in our lives.
This we pray in Jesus name. Amen.
Glory to Jesus.
God bless you richly. Thanks for reading along.
Shalom.

TRAINING DAY 4
This is the fourth instalment of our training.
I've met a number of persons who complained that they were unable to read
up the Bible because they got fixed to a particular verse or chapter for hours
or days. Others ask why we are making people read the Bible when they
actually want to study. The challenge is that they do not know how to separate
reading, studying and meditation.
You need all the three and Bible students know these.
It will be way easier for you to study better when you have broad knowledge.
You must have seen or heard a minister preach on only one verse for seven
Page 22
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
days. You see, that is possible because of their broad knowledge on several
other scriptures. They will keep making references to other scriptures
consistently throughout the teachings. This is one of the reasons why reading
is beneficial.
I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the
holy brethren. 1 Thessalonians 5:27.
There is a place for studying and meditating. And they are very important too.
But plain reading is biblical, revelational, instructive and beneficial. You will
be able to stand and say "The Bible never said that. That is not written
anywhere in the Bible. That is not scriptural. Jesus did not say that. The
apostles did not teach that." Why? You have broad knowledge.
You are trying to make a point, through broad knowledge you are able to say,
"Paul also taught that; Moses also said the same thing; Jude made mention of
something similar." These are the benefits of reading. It is like a base.
While Timothy was reading Paul's letters to the church, could someone have
said, "wait a little Timothy, let me study verse 10 before you continue reading."?
So, express reading without studying is scriptural.
Page 23
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
People keep arguing about this. They say "I don't want to read, I want to study",
but the Bible commands us to read not just study.
Ezra began reading the scriptures from early in the morning till mid-day.
Chances are, he started around 6am, but even If he started around 8am, by
12pm, he would have read the scriptures for four straight hours. This caused
a great revival in Israel.
Nehemiah 8:3: He faced the square just inside the Water Gate
from EARLY MORNING UNTIL NOON and read aloud to
everyone who could understand. All the people listened
closely to the Book of the Law.
Now, who says you are wasting your time reading and not studying? Many
people are like, "I don't like this. How will I just be reading 9 chapters in a day,
without studying. It’s like a story book" Really?
Please, get off that, you will read up 9 chapters in about an hour. Here is Ezra
reading for well over four hours and it led to a revival. The Holy Spirit will be
there to make it more than a story book to you. So, practice express reading.
You can in fact read more than 9 chapters in a day.
Don't let the devil cheat you. EXPRESS AND MARATHON READING IS
SCRIPTURAL AND BENEFICIAL.
If we tell you everything and skip this then we have failed to prepare you for
what is ahead.
Page 24
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
Read that Bible portion again. Persecution and tribulation arise BECAUSE OF
THE WORD; not because of anything else.
The "how" may be different, but be Vigilant. Resist the devil and he will flee.
Some may even be offended by the admin or the team leader or fellow
member, or too many WhatsApp messages on the group, or early messages or
late messages. They get offended and leave, they are ignorant that Satan is the
one fighting them. (This may not apply to everyone that leaves anyway, some
have tenable reasons). Satan will use everything and anything to make sure
that you can't achieve this goal; he will do his best so that you can lay down
your sword. You will not lay down your sword in Jesus’ name. Amen.
WATCH OUT: He may come as a new friend, or a new job, or a new game, or
an unexplainable weakness and tiredness, or a new contract, or illness, or
boredom, or a lucrative business, a distraction, a sick family member, school
resumption, work resumption, crashed WhatsApp, lost phone, and so on.
When you begin to lift up the Sword of the Spirit, you have drawn the battle
line. Satan will come for you, so stand, be the warrior you are, be the
conqueror that Christ has made you.
Page 25
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
Hence, BE VIGILANT!!! Satan will ensure that you have a very GOOD AND
TENABLE EXCUSE, not to continue or to be offended. BE VIGILANT!!!.
A number of persons have exited the group already, I am sure you have
noticed, they all have their good excuses for doing so. If the excuses are
tenable before God, no problem. SGS is just a tool of God to spiritual growth
in this end time. Jesus remains the Way. But if they are not tenable before God,
then stage one of Satan's attack has been launched on those who do not
understand. They do not understand that the battle line was drawn the day
they decided to read their Bibles. In any case, we usually reach those who exit
and try to draw them back, some respond, some don't.
May I make it known to you that the month we started this program. We were
only 54. Nearly every single person was afflicted with sickness during the
course of the reading. About three to four people couldn't finish because they
surrendered to sickness. We had to rebuke the devil over everyone
consistently and stopped the occurrence in subsequent editions.
This is not the first time many are attempting Bible reading. But Satan has
stopped you somehow. You didn't know it was Satan. You thought you lost
interest, you thought you just lost focus. You didn't know it was a spiritual
assault to stop you from reading the Word. The battle is real. I am telling you
so that when it begins to happen you will remember that I have told you.
Friends, we are at war. All that God requires from you is to lift up your shield
of faith because THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS AND NOT YOURS AND IT WAS
WON OVER 2000 YEARS AGO.
Page 26
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
But, be vigilant so that you will know when Satan raises his ugly head and
how he shows it, so that you can stand against him in the name of Jesus, claim
your victory and keep to your commitment. He can only bark, he cannot
bite. If you stand and resist him, he will flee. When you see him, just laugh and
command him to leave in Jesus’ name.
We have more things to share with you, two more lessons before we show you
our winning plans.
Let us pray!!!
Our Father in heaven, we thank You for Your grace and Your
mercy over our lives. Thank You for these beautiful hearts
that have committed themselves to reading Your Word. We
ask that You guide this commitment of theirs to the very end,
help them not to get offended or distracted. Bruise Satan
under their feet, that we may all praise you at the end.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
God bless you richly.
Page 27
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
TRAINING DAY 5
Welcome friends, this is the fifth instalment of our training.
We want to appreciate everyone who has been praying and leaving a good
word for us. Thank you very much. God bless you richly. And to all who have
been following, God bless you also.
Page 28
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
Perhaps you also joined this Bible Reading because you want to earn God's
favour. You think reading up the New Testament will in some way make God
love you more, this is also a wrong mindset. God's Love for us is not dependent
on what we do. When we were at our worst, He loved us, gave us Himself and
died for us. It is an offence to the cross if you try to earn God's acceptance and
love by something you do. If you are His Child, He loves you not because of
what you do but because of who you are; not because you are loving but
because He is love. John 3:16 says it all. "God so loved the world" not "God so
loved the lovely."
Are you are also here still living in your sins or you have not yet accepted the
life of Christ? Or did you commit a grievous sin and hope that God will forgive
you if you read your Bible like this? You think reading your Bible in some ways
will make God overlook your sins or wrong? Stop that!!! You cannot do
penance for your sins. Receive the free gift of salvation through faith for the
remission of your sins, then come and follow Jesus.
Page 29
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
Reading your Bible and living in sin can deceive your heart. Go to the cross.
Forgiveness and remission of sins is received by repentance and faith in the
Son of God who is Christ Jesus. Don't try to earn it by works.
Read your Bible because you love God and you want to know Him through His
Word. Not for show, not for pride, not for penance nor for favour. We love Him,
because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19
That will be all for this instalment. You can go over it again. It is very vital. We
must be wholehearted followers of Christ. He must be our end, not a means
to our selfish ends.
Many people can't understand why someone would call them and care about
them for no selfish reason. But that is what God has called us to do. Many
insult our leaders, call them scammers and all sorts of names. They don't
believe that there are people who will use their airtime to call them and text
them just because they care for their souls. It is well. We don't blame them.
Page 30
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
Please, we beseech you by the mercies of God, that you cooperate and make
their work easy. They are all busy people like you, they are making sacrifices
just to help a fellow believer, they are here to labour over you selflessly. Please
encourage them, and may God honour you in return in Jesus name.
Let us pray!!!
Faithful God, we thank You for giving us eyes to see this day.
Precious Lord, we ask that of all that You have given us, we
will lose none. There is nothing oh God that You cannot do. We
believe this with all our hearts.
Thank You Father. Your Word says if we seek You, all other
things will follow us. May that be our testimony this month.
Thank You because You always hear us.
We pray in Jesus name.
Amen.

TRAINING DAY 6
Greetings friends, this is the sixth instalment of our training.
I would like to appreciate everyone who has been cooperating with their
team leaders. God bless you.
It's amazing that despite our consistent announcements, a few still feel
surprised to hear from their team leaders, please don't be alarmed. There are
of course some wolves in sheep's skin who come here and chat with you
privately to get something off you.
By their fruits, you will know them. Kindly report them and block them as we
fish them all out. We are almost done with the clean sweep. It's usually like
this at the beginning. God will expose them all. Whatever you do, do not reply
anyone calling to get a code from you or invite you to an online meeting.
Now to today’s lesson: This is the last topic before the conclusion and
modalities tomorrow.
We have had several editions of this NT Bible reading by the grace of God.
During the first three editions, we had few testimonies of miracles and
healings. However, in our fourth edition, God began to grant our participants
several supernatural experiences in mass. The healings and miracles
multiplied geometrically. Many saw visions, many received healing, and
others were supernaturally delivered. Some got what they had been praying
for and all kinds of testimonies.

Brethren, God is in the midst of His people to confirm His Words with signs
and wonders. The testimonies are so many. There are yet some testimonies in
their thousands that we have not been able to read as we speak. But a few
have been selected so that your faith may stand in the power of God and not
in your strength. Kindly note that these are true stories of real people, we
don't need to say that, but we have to, because some testimonies may be hard
to believe.
During a particular edition, people were getting new jobs in nearly every
team. Even after the reading, there were still people who sent in their
testimonies of getting their dream jobs. Another edition, it was restoration of
spiritual gifts that was in massive release. As you also participate in this
edition, do it spiritually, do it by faith.
We believe that God will also visit you. We do nothing, He is the one doing it
all. The experiences may not be the same. But every single one of us can be
touched by God in some way: we strongly believe this. Hence, position
yourself and get ready to be touched by God.
DO NOT FORGET
Ensure that your heart is rightly positioned to seek God's face and not His
hand. Yes, we have said that you should not try to earn His favour, but God is
faithful. As you seek Him first, He promised to make every other thing that
you need to run after you. Matthew 6:33. That's exactly our experience and
that will be yours in Jesus name.

Do well to check out the Telegram channel, we are sure that your life will not
remain the same after reading those testimonies.

Read them and boost your faith. Many women received their long-awaited
conception, many got healed and had different kinds of miracles. Friends, God
is about to give you an encounter.
Only believe.
That is the end of the lessons. We have covered lessons 1- 9. They are very
powerful and useful lessons. If you missed any, scroll up and go over them.
CONCLUSION
Therefore, fear not, when you trust God, He is faithful to help you. But you
must trust Him every step of the way. Will you be one of those that will finish
strong? The answer depends on your belief and how much effort you are
ready to put behind it.
We would like to reiterate that we have nothing against those who leave, they
may have their good reasons tenable to God. They may wish to join the next
edition. However, the person leaving does not have to be you.

We believe that you joined because you believe that God can help you start
this reading and finish it. If your trust is in your might, you may need to
reconsider. Please and please put your trust in God only. The parable of the
Sower comes to mind. (Matthew 13:1-23)

Let us pray!!!
Abba Father, hallowed be thy name, thank You for bringing
us thus far. Finish what You started in our lives dear Father.
In the end, we will return all the glory to You.
Thank You Father, In Jesus name, we pray.
Amen.

TRAINING DAY 7
Welcome friends! Just like we promised, we will be going to the modalities.
MODALITIES
These describe how this group functions: the practical and academic way we
will employ to help you achieve your goal.
We are here for serious work friends. This place is for ready and willing
minds. I believe that you are one of them, that's why you are here.
Permit us to be firm with you, so you can fulfil your goal. Is that okay?
Quickly, we will also like to mention that we are many in this group. We will
maintain discipline. We will try to reduce group messages here, but there
definitely will be lots still from this group in the next one month. If you are
not ready, you may be offended. But you must think about the greater good.
May God help us all in Jesus’ name.
1. We have distributed you all into small teams as you rightly know.
2. The goal of the small group is for you to encourage one another, follow-
up one another; discuss what you learn, ASK QUESTIONS and share
together. It also helps your team leader to follow you up closely.
3. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE YOUR DAILY READING STATUS IN
THE TEAM GROUP. This is very important.
4. Each team has a WhatsApp group and a team leader. A group of teams
is called a class. Each class group (where this training is ongoing) has a
Batch leader with about 9 team leaders.

round the week. So, nobody said anything about it being easy. But we
said GRACE will be available to make it easy. Glory to God!!!
11. The hardest part is Matthew to Acts. This will be covered within the first
two weeks. If you can scale through those five books crossing that
bridge, the rest is much easier with shorter chapters. So, BE RESILIENT.
THOU THEREFORE, ENDURE HARDNESS AS A GOOD SOLDIER OF
JESUS CHRIST 2Tim 2:3
12. Don't forget our strategy: PROVIDE DAILY REPORTS IN THE SUB
GROUP (TEAM GROUP). This general group will be restricted during
work days and opened at weekends. But remain on the main group. It
is very key. TEAM LEADERS WILL PROVIDE REPORTS HERE DAILY
ABOUT YOUR PROGRESS.
13. Each team will have about 20 to 30 members, plus or minus headed by
a team leader. Kindly make their work easy. Do as they tell you and
speak to them respectfully. They are volunteers passionate about God's
work. Some of you will join them come next edition.
14. Another core value of this group is caring about one another. Care about
your group members. Carry them along. We must win together. Don't
leave the work to team leaders alone. Check on your group members.
Choose a partner if you have to. There is no competition but we must
challenge one another and finish together.
15. The daily status report is nothing serious. It is as simple as saying any
of these on your teams WhatsApp group daily:
Done with day 1 challenge.
OR
7 chapters done. Will complete the rest by evening.
OR
Page 39
Spiritual Growth Scheme New Testament Reading Training Material
Done
Or
Task complete.
It depends on how you choose, just pass the information across, or use
a sticker. The report is nothing serious, except you have a special case,
you don't need to write so much. If you have a special condition, you can
chat your leader privately.
16. You are required to SHARE what you learn from your readings with
your team members. ASK QUESTIONS and answer questions in your
team groups. If the answer to your question is not satisfactory, your
team leader will reach us for better answer. You are also required to
share your supernatural experiences with us. If you don't want to be
known, you can share it personally with your team leader, your batch
leader or with me.
17. Please reduce the stress of your team leaders by providing reports
"daily" and early. If you don't report, they will be forced to check up on
you, chat you or call you. That will take their time. Help them by
reporting without being asked to. It's just for one month.
18. We are together FOR JUST ONE MONTH. We don't plan to hold you here
forever. After one month and our goal of setting you on fire is achieved,
we will release you to go light up your world and keep the fire burning.
Except you want to continue with us by your own choice. We will not
compel you or force you. After one month, we will release you as we
continue to reach the world.

At the end of these 29 days, don't be in haste to leave. We will pass across vital
information to you. The New Testament has 260 chapters, we will be done on
the 29th day. I pray that ALL OF US WILL REJOICE ON THAT DAY IN JESUS
NAME. God will see you through. We have seen that day few times and we can
tell you it is a joyful season. Testimonies flying in right and left. Rejoicing
everywhere.
He that started this good work in you will bring it to perfection in Jesus name.
Please pay attention to everything said. Read between the lines. If you have
any question, do well to ask.
You will notice that a number of persons have been leaving the group. Usually,
we don't check them up or ask them why. However, as from Sunday, if you
leave, your team leader or batch leader will personally ask you why. We will
take stats by Sunday and know exactly how many people are left in this
edition just before we commence on Monday.
A number of persons get added too. Usually, we prepare a pre-class for them,
where we take them through the training they have missed before adding
them. That will end on Sunday anyway.
As from the beginning of the reading, you all matter to us. If you exit the group,
we will reach you. We WILL DO OUR VERY BEST TO ENSURE THAT YOU
FINISH STRONG. Every soul matter to us. WE WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND WITH
YOU EVERY DAY FROM THE FIRST DAY TO THE LAST DAY.
God has got you. He only needs you to do your part. If you are still afraid to
go on, now is the time to leave. But for as many who believe with us that "I
CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST THAT STRENGTHENS ME" Let's
move on. I believe that you are one of them, that's why you are still here.

Glory to God!!!
CLOSING REMARK
Now, we have come to the end of the training. We have taken you through the
opening charge, the nine-pack training, and the academic side of the course.
We strongly believe that you have been tremendously pumped up. It is our
prayer that, that which God is set to do in your life shall be accomplished as
you commit yourself to His Word in Jesus name.
Let us pray!!!
Father in heaven, we thank You. You have already started a
good work in us, leading us and guiding us these six days.
Lord, we are confident that what You author You are able to
sponsor and much able to finish.
Oh! "Author and Finisher of our faith", do what You do best
and make grace available to us all. Bruise Satan under our
feet.
We know that he will come for us, but deliver us from his paw
and show him the victory that You have wrought in us when
You raised Your Son Jesus from the dead.
Let Your Word do what only He can do in our lives. Your Word
will be confirmed in our lives with power and glory. In the
end, we will all lift up our voices in praises and thanksgiving
to Your name.
Thank You Father because You hear us always.
We pray through Your Holy Son Jesus, AMEN.
Settle in your groups when your team leaders reach you, meet your team
members, Introduce yourself. God bless you!!!
Shalom!!!
