Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2022
Sunday February 27, 2022
Take care of yourselves and take care of the flock. Shepherd the congregation of God (Acts 20:28).
Elders, you have an important responsibility to help publishers be good preachers and teachers. If someone is nervous about leading a Bible study with you, offer to do it. You can do a lot to encourage and motivate teachers not to give up (1 Thess. 5:11). Even if we don't teach a Bible study right now, we can all help someone else grow spiritually. Without talking too much, we can support the teacher by making well-prepared comments during class. Let's make friends with the students when they come to the Kingdom Hall and be good examples to them. And the elders can encourage the students by taking time for them and the teachers by training and congratulating them. There is no greater joy than knowing that we have done our bit so that someone comes to love and serve our Father, Jehovah. w21.03 13 paras. 18, 19
What will help us be more specific when we pray in a Bible study?
Prayer is an essential part of Bible class, so let's think ahead about what we'll say if we're asked to pray. In this way, we can be more specific (Ps. 141:2). Hanae is a sister from Japan who keeps remembering the prayers of a sister who accompanied her teacher. She says: “I was aware of the deep friendship I had with Jehovah, and I wanted to be like her. Also, when she mentioned my name in her sentences, she made me feel loved.”
According to James 1:19, how can we be good companions during a Bible course?
Let's support the teacher. A special pioneer from Nigeria named Omamuyovbi says: “A good companion pays attention during study. In addition, he makes good comments but does not talk too much, because he knows that the teacher is responsible for directing the course”. So when should we talk and what should we say? (Prov. 25:11). Let us listen carefully to both the teacher and the student (read James 1:19). Only then will we be ready to help if necessary. Of course, we must be careful not to talk too much, interrupt the teacher's explanation or get off topic. But in a brief way we can use a comment, an example or a question to make clear the point that is being analyzed. Sometimes we may feel like we can't bring much to the studio. But, if we compliment the person and take an interest in him,We will help you progress.
How could our personal experience help a student?
Let's share our personal experience. If we see fit, we might briefly tell the student how we learned the truth, how we overcame a difficulty, or how we have seen Jehovah's hand in our lives.—Ps. 78:4, 7. It may be that this is just what the student needs to hear. He may strengthen his faith, encourage him to take steps toward baptism, or help him see how to overcome a difficulty (1 Pet. 5:9). Gabriel, a pioneer living in Brazil, remembers what helped him when he was learning from the Bible: “The experiences that the brothers told me taught me that Jehovah knows our problems. If they managed to overcome them, so would I."
