    What is POIAP?

    POIAP is a Bible study method that revises the OIA method by adding prayers in the beginning and at the end of the study. 

    P - Pray: Ask God for help to know His Word

    O - Observe: What does Scripture say?

    I - Interpret: What does Scripture mean?

    A - Apply: How do I need to respond?

    P - Pray: Ask God for help to obey His Word

    Why do we use POIAP?

    There are many reasons. Here are some of them:

    1. Every Bible believer should read the Bible. (Joshua 1:8)
    2. Every believer can understand what God wants to reveal to us through the Bible. (1 Peter 1:3)
    3. The key to understanding the Bible is how much we rely on the author of the Bible-the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 2:10-11)
    4. We need some tools to study the Bible for better understanding and application. (Acts 17:11)

    POIAP is the tool that can help us!

    Testimonies

    "I have been a Christian for over 20 years and have been actively serving in the church. I found it difficult to understand the Bible without listening to the sermons or through the commentaries. Through the training of using POIAP, I found that I could not only understand the Bible, but also enjoy studying the Bible. I finally experienced the sweetness of God's Word."

    "How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119:103)
