Bible Plan For Year 2024

I started reading the Bible from cover to cover with my elder sister when I was around 10 years of age. I gave my life to Christ when I started Junior Secondary School, and my elder sister and I planned to read the Bible from the beginning to the end. We would read at least 4 to 5 chapters of the Bible daily and by the end of the year, we would have read from January to December. And we did this for a couple of years. I continued this tradition even after high school and when I started my undergraduate studies. At times, I would read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation for two years just to pace myself. 

Currently, I have read the Bible from the beginning to the end several times. However, I have noticed that for the past two years, I have struggled to read my Bible or follow a Bible plan as much as I would have liked or as much as I did in the past. This new year, I have been wondering why I have not been able to read my Bible from Genesis to Revelation yearly or follow a Bible plan, and I wondered if it's because I have done it a couple of times and I now take it from granted or if it's because subconsciously I have become prideful and I believe that I know all there is to know and don't want to read the entirety of the Bible again.

Yesterday, I started reading Open Heavens (a daily devotional by Pastor E.A Adeboye) and I also decided to partake in the Bible reading plan for the year. I read Genesis chapters 1 to 4 (a book I have read over and over again) and believe me, I saw and learned something new. I was blessed anew just by reading the creation story and that's why I am sharing this (If you want to know what I learned, do let me know 😅). I am also sharing this so you can be my accountability partner that ensures I follow my bible plan all through 2024.

If you are like me and you have read the Bible several times, don't fall into the trap of losing the wonders and beauty of the word of God. If you let yourself go and let God in, you will be amazed at the new things that will provide more insights to you. Also, don't fall into the trap of just reading your Bible to fulfill all righteousness or to get it over with, without getting the word, instruction, correction, encouragement, or rebuke for your life. Believe me, every time you read it, you will definitely see something you had never seen before; it is the living and active word of God. 

And if you are not like me and you do not read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation yearly, this is your sign to start. If you do not know where to start, I'd recommend using Youversion Bible (a Bible app); there are numerous Bible plans that you can follow.

The word of God is new every morning and with His word, you can see and understand the mind of God for you, you can learn more about the character of God, build your faith and spirit man, and get direction for your life and the lives of others, among other things. Don't do 2024 without God and a way to ensure that is to spend time in His word. Remember not to allow the Bible to depart from your mouth this year but meditate on it day and night and observe to do all that is written in it (Joshua 1:8). Read your Bible in this new year!!!
