Why You Should Never Miss a Day Without Reading the Bible: Spiritual Insights by Pastor Bob Tiwa

Bible Reading as a Gateway to Spiritual Hearing and Vision

In today’s fast-paced world, believers are constantly bombarded by distractions that pull them away from the spiritual discipline that anchors every Christian life: daily Bible reading. But what truly happens when we make time to read Scripture each day is marvelous.

The Bible is not merely literature—it is God's living word, designed to open our spiritual eyes and ears. It allows us to hear God’s voice, see the workings of His Kingdom, and recognize the spiritual realities that affect every area of our lives.

“He answered, ‘It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” – Matthew 4:4 (NIV)

Bible study fuels our spirit, just as food sustains our body. To neglect daily Bible reading is to starve your soul and the consequences go far beyond spiritual fatigue. It invites confusion, vulnerability, and distance from God’s divine plan.

A Christian Reading Bible in a very Quiet Environment

The Power of Humility in Seeking God Through the Word

God's Kingdom is not seen through pride, ambition, or intellect alone—it is revealed to the humble. That’s why Jesus said:

 “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 18:3 (NIV)

Humbling ourselves enough to consistently open the Bible invites the Holy Spirit into our hearts. It is an act of surrender, of quiet submission, where God meets us in grace, speaks through His Word, and unveils mysteries that transform our lives.

It’s no surprise that Satan resists our humility, knowing full well the breakthrough it unlocks. But every time we bow our will to read Scripture, we deny Satan access and release heaven’s wisdom over our families, ministries, and decisions.

The High Cost of Skipping Daily Scripture

From Pastor Bob Tiwa’s own walk of faith, one truth rings loud and clear: Missing one day of Bible reading may cost you an entire week of spiritual hearing.

This “blackout period” leads to:

• Delayed revelation of God's plans for your life.

• Blindness to satanic schemes, making us vulnerable to attack.

• Missed testimonies, which are crucial for evangelism and spiritual victory.

 “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” – Revelation 12:11 (NIV)

We cannot testify to what we haven’t seen. And without seeing God’s plans, we cannot celebrate, believe, or share them—delaying both our breakthroughs and our witness to others.

Discerning the Enemy Through Scripture

The Bible teaches that spiritual warfare begins with awareness. When we fail to read the Word, we miss spiritual alerts that protect us from the enemy’s traps.

 “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” – Ephesians 6:11 (NIV)

Daily Scripture study strengthens your armor. It teaches you to pray strategically, defend your relationships, preserve your health, and protect your community. Without it, satanic plans go unseen and unchallenged until they manifest destructively in the physical realm.

Dreams, Revelations, and the Voice of God

Bible reading is not a mechanical routine—it’s a doorway to divine communication. When believers consistently read Scripture, God speaks in ways beyond the page:

• Through dreams and visions.

• Through signs and wonders.

• Through the gentle guidance of the Holy Spirit.

 “Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.” – Proverbs 29:18 (NIV)

Want to receive revelation? Stay committed to reading God’s Word. It primes your spirit to recognize God’s voice when He speaks through unexpected circumstances, supernatural signs, or the quiet whisper of His Spirit.

Takeaway: Daily Bible Reading Is Your Lifeline

Reading the Bible daily is not just a spiritual habit—it is a lifeline for:

• Spiritual clarity.

• Divine guidance.

• Discernment.

• Emotional strength.

• Evangelism power.

• Personal testimony.

• Protection against satanic attacks

Declare this over your life:

 “Lord, I will never go a day without Your Word. I humble myself to hear from You, to see Your Kingdom, and to walk in the power of revelation and testimony. Feed my soul with Your truth and protect me from spiritual blindness. Amen.”
