I also had this question before when I am starting my spiritual journey. I asked my former boss, who is also a pastor; on how will I start my Bible readings. He told me to start with the gospels first with John, then yun next three, Matthew, Luke, and Mark. Then doon ko nakita how great yun buhay ni Jesus Christ. Everyday I am still trying to religiously read atleast one chapter a day pag gising ko or atleast a verse to start up my day. Writing my thoughts about my readings also really helped me to appreciate God’s Word.
Joshua 1:8 KJV [8] This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Psalm 119:105 KJV [105] Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. May His Word be our every day guide in our every day lives!❤️🙏 and you will never go wrong! Thank you, Ms. Rica for your wonderful content. Its been a bless to all who watched and listened to it!🥰
Thank you, Ms. Rica. God gave me the idea na. Huhu.😭 Isa ka talaga sa mga ginagamit ni Lord sakin. Your life is indeed a blessing! Hope to meet you in person! I wanna hug you!!!🥺🥺🥺 God bless you and your fam! 💕 Thank you, Lord! 💕
Very timely vlog. Lalo ngayon after ng Prayer and Fasting Week. May God shower us with provisions and breakthroughs this 2022. Let’s all have an expectant heart this year. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Di Talaga ako nag sisisi kapag want ko mag browse sa yt at video mo po ang nakita at pinanood ko, sobrang daming wisdom and most of the time saktong sakto sa situation ko. Hehehe God Bless po Bonifacio Fam. I pray for more provision for you to be used by God to reach out people to know him more. Youre an inspiration to many. Thank you po 😘
The 1st book that I was really interested nung bata ako is Revelation. Yung yung unang Bible book na nabasa ko ng buo. And then Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, binasa ko ng paulet ulet. Dun ko narealized na halos pla mga wisdom books ngayon eh nakabased lang din sa Bible. And then I got the time to read all books of New Testament, cover to cover.. about 2-3times. At totoo nga, hindi mo talaga maiintindihan ang Bible unless basahin mo yung buong book. Marami kasi nagbabasa, verse by verse lang talaga. Sa isang verse, pwede magkaroon ng maraming interpretation. The reason kung bakit napakaraming religions ngayon. Most importantly, we cannot understand the Bible by ourselves only. Before starting to read, you have to pray for the guidance of the HOLY SPRIRIT. It is the Holy Spirit who will teach you the meaning of every verse that you are reading.
Hmm daming gumagawa ng ganyan bkit ang daming sekta iba iba ang unawa sa bibliya..... kailangan mo pa din ang expert .babala ang private interpretation ay nkakapahamak.... mayrong online bible study all sekta welcome pwede just pasok kasa zoom punto por punto ni fr gitgano everyday bible study right der dami kung natutunan na mali pala ang pang unawa ng iba.
Important thing that readers should know before reading the bible: -It consists of different genres and we interpret them either literally, figuratively, symbolically depending on the genre. -The bible is not about us, it is about Jesus. We are not the David in the Goliath story, rather it demonstrates the power that God can do for us when we abide in Him. -There is only one interpretation of the bible and it's NOT eisegesis (interpreting text in such a way as to introduce one's own presuppositions, agendas or biases), NOT narcigesis (interpreting Scripture in a highly PERSONAL, even selfish way.), the correct way is through exegesis (critical explanation or interpretation of a text); Who wrote it? Why did he write it? When was it written? To whom was it addressed? Does it apply to us or was it specifically for certain people during a certain period? -It's okay to not get it the first time Hope this helps
I am teacher. Long time and many times I asked this question but I got no concrete and easy to understand answers like yours, Ms. Rica. Thank you so much!
For someone like me na really seeking for that close relationship to the Lord good thing I have my boyfriend who leads me read the Bible. I love the 4th requirements "open heart" it is true that even how good your comprehension are if your heart is not open to view, to hear, to adopt and to feel nothimg will be learned. Thanks Ms. Rica. I love you because of your story about the bleeding woman I was more encouraged to seek. Godbless.

Today is November 15,2023 and I just watched your video sharing your ways on how we can start reading the bible. Thank you Ms. Rica. This video is really helpful sa mga kagaya ko na ngayon pa lang sinisimulan ang journey para mas makilala at mapalapit kay God. I also follow your TikTok account and yung mga questions na sinasagot mo thru videos grabe, sobrang naa-appreciate namin. With that informative videos base on scripture mas na curious ako sa ano ba ang laman ng bible. Mas gusto ko pa makikila si God. Mas gusto kong ituwid ang buhay ko nang naaayon sa will ni God. Thank you!
this is the best vlog miss rica💖💖💖 if we read bible, the holy spirit will teach us to understand what is God wants to say to us.. he talk to us tru his holy words💖💖💖🙏
Praise God! I pray that I consistently do my prayer & devotion through the help of Holy Spirit. The bible is our manual for us to know God's will and to know how to live a Godly life in this world. Thanks for the tip Miss Rica, stay bountifully blessed!
Thank you, Rica for sharing! I have to watch this video twice in order to get your recommendations. I've learned a lot from you. Like you, I also love reading the Bible. It helps me see things in the right perspective, and because nakasanayan ko na, I always wake up at 6am or 630AM kasi nga, 630AM is my prayer time. I have this feeling that the Lord is waking me up, and I like it that He calls me and reminds me. Again, continue to be a blessing!
Hi Ms. Rica! I've been reading the Bible for 7 years na. I also use the SOAP method and what I found that helps me better "observe" Scripture is by using a dictionary! ☺ Minsan kasi, alam natin yon meaning ng word, pero pag binasa mo ano yong mismong definition nya (minsan various din kasi), mas maiintindihan mo ang context or mas magspeak sa'yo yong verse. I also use post-its to document learning nuggets. Aaand I also invested in a life-application study Bible! Hope this helps someone in their journey! ❤
A former colleague always send me a link from OUR DAILY BREAD. At first, I just put a heart reaction on it. But, time comes that I open the link and read the daily devotions. There are times I don't receive one and I kind a miss it. So what I did is I downloaded the app, and it makes me happy just to read His word. These year I started to have my journal everytime I meet Him every morning. I just pray I will be able to continue reading it🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi miss Rica. Thanks for sharing your style In reading the bible. Im a Christian but not that often that I read the bible. . I'll try my best with the help of the Holy Spirit to read at least one chapter a day. Thanks again and God bless you and family🥰
Thanks for this helpful and beautiful content Ms. Rica. I've been a Christian all my llife and it's quite nakakahiya to say that I've never finished reading the whole Bible yet. Thanks for the encouragement and helpful tips as well. God bless you and your family more 🙏🏼❤
May the Lord continue to use you as an instrument to reach out lost souls, May His anointing be with you! always! 🙏🏻God bless you Rica and your family! ❤️

Hello, Ms. Rica. I am a Health and Home reader and I was so amazed na you had written an article years before pala. It was about the ideal person to marry. I was so blessed by it. It so true and I share that gem to my family. Works with my marriage, too. God bless po. More wisdom and strength. 💗
I'm so blessed for me to be able to watch this particular vlog of yours...for the longest time m heart was striving how to really understand the bible thank you so much Ms Rica for sharing your knowledge to us...God bless you!!!
Thank you for sharing. Nagsisimula palang akong magbasa ng Bible sa totoo lang hirap talaga intindihin pero ipag pray mo lang , tutulungan at gagabayan ka ng Dios para unti unti mo maintindihan kung ano ibig sabihin ng binabasa mo. Nasa Exodos palang ako at sana matapos ko hanggang dulo❤️❤️❤️
Sobrang nagraradiate yung work ng Lord sa mukha mo Ms. Rica. Thank you sa reminder, I was encouraged to read the Bible ulit after I watched this. God bless!
Thank you po for reminding me to read the bible again. I’m still looking for the best bible for me so thank you for your insights and recommendations. God bless
Thank you so much Ms.Rica for your tips on how to read the Bible. I just started reading it better last December when I got a copy of the Charles Stanley Life Principles Daily Bible. There are readings from the Old and New Testament each day. I highlight the lines that struck me. I hope to finish reading it finally, as I've never finished a Bible before. You're right that its words are alive and speak of God's love before and forever. It has helped me have time with God and understand Him more. May God continue to inspire us all with His everlasting words of truth.😌
Hello Ma'am. Rica.. just Want to share .... Nagstart ako(I mean kami no Husband ko) when we receive God and nung nakilala na namin si JESUS CHRIST. I Praise God and always Grateful for His goodness to me and to my Family. I became REAL CHRISTIAN when we Believed God and proclaimed to our Lips that he is our SAVIOR and Provider... I always thank to Lord for removing me in my SINFUL ways... PRAISE GOD 👏 for calling me His child. Now Teaching some children here in our street about Jesus and His goodness .. letting them to read the Bible and giving them every2 weeks 1 bible verse to memorise. And also me and my Husband nagBible study din po kame before and after we sleep and eat.. I ALWAYS THANKS TO THE LORD FOR GIVING PREVILEDGE that He gave us... I watch also Ma'am. Rica your interview kay Ma'am. Toni Gonzaga.. God bless po.🙌
The bible had changed my life not only to believe HIM more but it really has improved my life and it made me well - I don't think I would have been healed with my mental battle if were'nt for the WORD OF GOD at all, for HIS truth and the way He speaks to me - Rica , I totally agree with what you have said, - reading HIS word will guide and help us overcome our struggles because God speaks to us on what to do, and we can be filled with holy spirit through reading HIS word. Thank you Rica for sharing this to us. ❤❤
Hi Ms. Rica, I always wanted to start reading BIBLE or Devotional book na maiintindihan ko sobrang tagal na at hindi ko natatapos. Ngayon I'm reading COFFEE BREAK with GOD and sana matapos. thank you for the advice po. Now I know how to really start po. Thanks and God Bless po!
Oh my true ang insight ko or understanding sa gusto ni Lord i hear it in my heart kapag naghuhugas ako ng plato or naglalaba.. Thanks Ms. RICA you are such a blessing to all
Hi Rica, my utmost respect for you for taking the time to explain how to read the Bible . Bible to me, is my spiritual nourishment to endure all the challenges and trials I face with in a daily basis, especially this time when the world is in a lot of uncertainties. I hope you get more views on this video bc it will serve as our guide towards better understanding of the Bible. Stay blessed always.
The Chosen Film is a truly good movie series in a narrative format about the bible. I think this series made me understand the bible the best (in a narrative form). Maybe it is not for everyone but just suggesting, there maybe some people like me who can understand the bible in this film just the way it did to me. A blessed day to everyone. Thanks Mrs. Bonifacio, this vlog is a great way to explain the bible journey; appreciate you.
Life changing po sya talaga at more knowledge, nakaka inspire kac nasasagot mga curiosity mo s Buhay. Tagalog Bible po sakn at gustu ko ESV, NIV AT KJV po ms rica 🙏GOD BLESS YOU
My mentor taught me the LCD Pro, Lessons learned, Commands to obey, Do's and Don't's, Promise and Pray according to the promise. That way, we are praying God's will for us because it's really from Him.
thank you for this Ms. Rica!! it's inspiring and motivating. it seems like a blessing how God gave our school an academic break, I've been breaking down a lot because i get overwhelmed easily. I hope i can use this time to have more faith in God or ask Him to rekindle my fire. God bless you po!
Thank you for this content. I have recently been into your vlogs and podcast (pati vlog ni Ptr. Joe). I love your insights and your thought process. I have been enjoying your conversations. Also glad to know na meron palang narrative version of the Bible, i'll check that out. It is my goal to read the whole Bible (matagal na kong christian pero di ko pa nababasa ng buo) but when the pandemic happened i started again and now i am on 2 Kings. And I encountered so much stories i never knew na nasa Bible. As i continue to read, i began to notice na nag-iiba din yung approach ko. Nung una kasi i'll read it as it is. But now i ask questions like "Lord bakit kaya binanggit ito? Or why do they respect Elisha so much that i feel uncomfortable kasi baka ina-idol na nila si Elisha" and when i ask questions, i can process more sa binabasa ko. Sometimes i even start a discussion with my mom. 😊
4:00 - yes ms rica u are correct, 66 chapters sa protestant bible dahil tinanggal yong 7 chapters from the orig catholic bible (73 chapters). si Jesus pala ang mother tongue niya ay Aramaic at merong rebelasyon na "injeel" o Evangeli o Gospel of Jesus na binigay ang ating Panginoon at Tagapaglikha sa kanya. kasi kung pag-aralan ang lalo na NT halos si St Paul na nagsulat at yong 4 gospels according to Mark, Matthew, John, at Luke (buddy ni St.Paul) ay anonymous din ang mga writers.
Thank you so much Ms Rica I really want this content on how to read the bible. I am new Christian and starting my walk with Christ and this will help me a lot. God bless and more content about being with God
Thank you so much for this Ms. Rica♥️ I always look up to you☺️ Most especially in your spiritual journey♥️ I hope you can make a content next time about how to properly join a prayer, fasting and consecration. By that i mean how do you really prepare yourself before committing on doing it, what are the things you really surrender to God to fast, and how do you celebrate upon fulfilling it all☺️ Tbh Ms Rica im really excited to join this year's Every Nation Abide Prayer, Fasting and Consecration but unfortunately i did failed because i havent even prepared myself really ahead of time😔 I hope you can consider my idea and thank you so much in advance♥️ Take care always Ms Rica, Pastor Joe, Philip, Manu and all of your family & loved ones. God bless you all♥️

Hello Ms Rica. I liked the SOAP technique that you shared. I'd like to start doing it, as well as really setting a specific time of the day when I can read my bible and pray, without distractions. That made me reflect on my current quiet time. Thanks for the video. Just wanted to share that I have been a fan of yours since I was literally a kid. I even had the Rica Papaya soap hahaha. One time years ago (my fam and I went to church at VFort) and I got to sit next to you. You saw my bible (which had a kinda dryfit cloth cover with a pocket in the front) and said "ang cute ng bible mo". Then you asked permission to show it to your friend next to you and then you gave it back to me after. It was a memorable experience because my fave celeb thought that my bible was cute and that was my first and last interaction with you. Hahaha. Anyway, I admire your intelligence and how your videos are informative and insightful. I praise God for your testimony and how He's using you in this platform to share His Word and advance His Kingdom.
I just recently bought the Reader's Digest Illustrated Edition Bible (RSV), bought it at the Book Sale Store for less than 600. It's huge and heavy, that would probably cost around 5K originally. There are pictures and it doesn't have verse numbers. It was a good find. The funny thing was, I went to that store 2 or 3 weeks after I decided to buy a Bible I loved. I just couldn't afford it at that time, so I said I'd come back for it, but sadly it wasn't available already. Then I found this Reader's Digest Bible. It was definitely cheaper, bigger, and heavier than the original one I was planning on buying.
Thank you Ms.Rica for this vlog. Matagal ko na gusto matutunan mag basa ng Bible. Thank you for this guidance. Your videos are blessings to us. Thank you thank you.
thank you so much Mrs. Rica for all the guides that you've provided for us to start our journey in starting to read the Holy Book. well I also share to you my thoughts for my next plan: to wear the flowers as a princess of God that is to feel the presence by reading the Bible and starting to bloom which is also to have the SOAP Journal. ♡ thank you again and much Mrs. Rica!
Hi Ms Rica! Thank you po for sharing your own experiences and recommendations on reading the bible. I just wanna share also a planner na nabili ko po sa shopee. It's called Daily interact planner from 'In his love' shop (I am NOT affliated with the shop). It also has tips on how to read the bible. Everyday indicated din ung bible chapters na pwede mo basahin to finish reading the bible in 1 year and may certain pages din where you can write prayer requests. May mga bible verses din per page. So yun po, I just wanna share it to others 😁 God bless!
Very timely talaga all your vlogs ms. Rica! I was really longing to start to read and understand the bible. But there are a lot of questions that keep me from starting and whenever I try to start nawawala ako. Very helpful mga tips mo will add it to my ways and hopefully maging successful.
Pray about the time (the when). At first inisip ko na before bedtime but para relax but sadly it didnt work natutulugan ko ang magbasa. So I pray about it then God impress me wake up early morning. And yes I did, though 8 am ang pasok ko I would wake at 5 am do household chores,exercise a bit and then my quiet time with Him. Why ganun? Because pag nakikita ko makalat paligid ko I cant concentrate, and pag nakapag exercise a bit magigising ang diwa ko. and it wokred for me almosy a year now 🥰
Thanks so much po dito. I watched your collabs with Toni G and I was really inspired to read the bible. Hindi ko lang alam pano. Your video is concise and very unedrstandable.
thank you ms. Rica. Very helpful po itong vlog no. Hindi Nampe pressure but you are lovingly just guiding and explaining about reading bible. God bless you more.❤️
Ilang beses ng dumadaan sa tiktok at facebook ko ung tungkol kay God sa totoo lang hindi talaga ako makadiyos hanggang dumaan itong video na nirecommended ni YT ewan ko ba laging dumadaan ung tungkol kay God sa tingin ko tinatawag na ako matagal na pero hindi ko lang pinapansin siguro ito na ung sign para matiwala ako kay God. Thank you po for this video:)
Ako po by God's grace pang 3 years ko na po nag read Ng bible ginagawa ko everyday 1 chapter nag start po ko sa Genesis tapos po nag susulat din po ko sa notebook kung ano reflection ko about sa nabasa ko God bless everyone stay safe God love us so much❤️🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Ms Rica truly enlightening for our souls and be reminded that bible is not really just like a newspaper that you have to flip amd turn to read or see is there something good to read about. Really need to open our heart to feel and welcome the most purest love of all the love of our God. God bless Ms Rica
masarap mg basa ng bible pag tinubuan ka ng Love para kay Jesus ung ramdam mo sa sarili mo na hindi mk na kayang mawalay sa presence nya paulit ulit mong hahanapin ung feeling ng kapayapaan at security ayun ang natutunan ko sa aking spiritual journey na possible pala talagang mahalin mo ang Diyos bukod sa lahat dahil pag natuto mo syang mahalin magagawa ming mahalin ng tama ang mga tao sa paligid mo
Personal tip: I have 3 different Bible apps on my phone: First app for my Daily Psalm reading (one chapter each day). This is my morning reading - 2nd for Old Testament (One chapter a day starting from Genesis until you finish the whole O.T. - 3rd one for New Testament, one chapter a day starting at Matthew until you finish the entire N.T. I read the Old and the New Testament chapters in afternoon or evening when I have plenty of time. Through this I would be able to read the entire Bible by devoting one chapter a day.
Wow this is great Sis. Ive been praying, seeking how to be more engaged in reading the Bible. Sa totoo lng po medjo naaantok po ako sa old testament. Maganda po itong shinare mo atleast I can explore the Bible more. God Bless Sis. This is a true blessing ❤️😇
I also had this question before when I am starting my spiritual journey. I asked my former boss, who is also a pastor; on how will I start my Bible readings. He told me to start with the gospels first with John, then yun next three, Matthew, Luke, and Mark. Then doon ko nakita how great yun buhay ni Jesus Christ. Everyday I am still trying to religiously read atleast one chapter a day pag gising ko or atleast a verse to start up my day. Writing my thoughts about my readings also really helped me to appreciate God’s Word.
So great bro Christian more Blessings! 💖🙏
san po mkikita s bible ung gospel jonh?
Hello. May I ask po after po sa apat na gospel. What comes next po?
Joshua 1:8 KJV
[8] This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Psalm 119:105 KJV
[105] Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
May His Word be our every day guide in our every day lives!❤️🙏 and you will never go wrong!
Thank you, Ms. Rica for your wonderful content. Its been a bless to all who watched and listened to it!🥰
Best practices: Pray and ask God for understanding and revelation each time you read Scripture. Then, Expect Him to speak to you through His Word.
I totally agree👍
Thank you, Ms. Rica. God gave me the idea na. Huhu.😭 Isa ka talaga sa mga ginagamit ni Lord sakin. Your life is indeed a blessing! Hope to meet you in person! I wanna hug you!!!🥺🥺🥺 God bless you and your fam! 💕

The 1st book that I was really interested nung bata ako is Revelation. Yung yung unang Bible book na nabasa ko ng buo. And then Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, binasa ko ng paulet ulet.

Hi Ms. Rica! I've been reading the Bible for 7 years na. I also use the SOAP method and what I found that helps me better "observe" Scripture is by using a dictionary! ☺ Minsan kasi, alam natin yon meaning ng word, pero pag binasa mo ano yong mismong definition nya (minsan various din kasi), mas maiintindihan mo ang context or mas magspeak sa'yo yong verse. I also use post-its to document learning nuggets. Aaand I also invested in a life-application study Bible! Hope this helps someone in their journey! ❤
A former colleague always send me a link from OUR DAILY BREAD. At first, I just put a heart reaction on it. But, time comes that I open the link and read the daily devotions. There are times I don't receive one and I kind a miss it. So what I did is I downloaded the app, and it makes me happy just to read His word. These year I started to have my journal everytime I meet Him every morning. I just pray I will be able to continue reading it🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi miss Rica. Thanks for sharing your style In reading the bible. Im a Christian but not that often that I read the bible. . I'll try my best with the help of the Holy Spirit to read at least one chapter a day. Thanks again and God bless you and family🥰
Thanks for this helpful and beautiful content Ms. Rica. I've been a Christian all my llife and it's quite nakakahiya to say that I've never finished reading the whole Bible yet. Thanks for the encouragement and helpful tips as well. God bless you and your family more 🙏🏼❤
May the Lord continue to use you as an instrument to reach out lost souls, May His anointing be with you! always! 🙏🏻God bless you Rica and your family! ❤️

Hello, Ms. Rica. I am a Health and Home reader and I was so amazed na you had written an article years before pala. It was about the ideal person to marry. I was so blessed by it. It so true and I share that gem to my family. Works with my marriage, too. God bless po. More wisdom and strength. 💗
I'm so blessed for me to be able to watch this particular vlog of yours...for the longest time m heart was striving how to really understand the bible thank you so much Ms Rica for sharing your knowledge to us...God bless you!!!
Thank you for sharing. Nagsisimula palang akong magbasa ng Bible sa totoo lang hirap talaga intindihin pero ipag pray mo lang , tutulungan at gagabayan ka ng Dios para unti unti mo maintindihan kung ano ibig sabihin ng binabasa mo. Nasa Exodos palang ako at sana matapos ko hanggang dulo❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for this Miss Rica! now I found myself opening not only the bible but also my heart into it
Thank you, ms Rica for sharing...may the Lord use you mightily in serving for His glory!🥰🙏
Sobrang nagraradiate yung work ng Lord sa mukha mo Ms. Rica. Thank you sa reminder, I was encouraged to read the Bible ulit after I watched this. God bless!
Thank you po for reminding me to read the bible again. I’m still looking for the best bible for me so thank you for your insights and recommendations. God bless
Thank you so much Ms.Rica for your tips on how to read the Bible. I just started reading it better last December when I got a copy of the Charles Stanley Life Principles Daily Bible. There are readings from the Old and New Testament each day. I highlight the lines that struck me. I hope to finish reading it finally, as I've never finished a Bible before. You're right that its words are alive and speak of God's love before and forever. It has helped me have time with God and understand Him more. May God continue to inspire us all with His everlasting words of truth.😌
Hello Ma'am. Rica.. just Want to share ....
Nagstart ako(I mean kami no Husband ko) when we receive God and nung nakilala na namin si JESUS CHRIST. I Praise God and always Grateful for His goodness to me and to my Family. I became REAL CHRISTIAN when we Believed God and proclaimed to our Lips that he is our SAVIOR and Provider...
I always thank to Lord for removing me in my SINFUL ways... PRAISE GOD 👏 for calling me His child.
Now Teaching some children here in our street about Jesus and His goodness .. letting them to read the Bible and giving them every2 weeks 1 bible verse to memorise. And also me and my Husband nagBible study din po kame before and after we sleep and eat.. I ALWAYS THANKS TO THE LORD FOR GIVING PREVILEDGE that He gave us...
I watch also Ma'am. Rica your interview kay Ma'am. Toni Gonzaga.. God bless po.🙌
The bible had changed my life not only to believe HIM more but it really has improved my life and it made me well - I don't think I would have been healed with my mental battle if were'nt for the WORD OF GOD at all, for HIS truth and the way He speaks to me - Rica , I totally agree with what you have said, - reading HIS word will guide and help us overcome our struggles because God speaks to us on what to do, and we can be filled with holy spirit through reading HIS word. Thank you Rica for sharing this to us. ❤❤
Hi Ms. Rica, I always wanted to start reading BIBLE or Devotional book na maiintindihan ko sobrang tagal na at hindi ko natatapos. Ngayon I'm reading COFFEE BREAK with GOD and sana matapos. thank you for the advice po. Now I know how to really start po. Thanks and God Bless po!
Oh my true ang insight ko or understanding sa gusto ni Lord i hear it in my heart kapag naghuhugas ako ng plato or naglalaba.. Thanks Ms. RICA you are such a blessing to all
Wow thank you miss rica recommending Bible Project
Reading the Bible in the morning, first things first. It would help me to be reminded the whole day of what I have read.
Hi Rica, my utmost respect for you for taking the time to explain how to read the Bible . Bible to me, is my spiritual nourishment to endure all the challenges and trials I face with in a daily basis, especially this time when the world is in a lot of uncertainties. I hope you get more views on this video bc it will serve as our guide towards better understanding of the Bible. Stay blessed always.
The Chosen Film is a truly good movie series in a narrative format about the bible. I think this series made me understand the bible the best (in a narrative form). Maybe it is not for everyone but just suggesting, there maybe some people like me who can understand the bible in this film just the way it did to me. A blessed day to everyone. Thanks Mrs. Bonifacio, this vlog is a great way to explain the bible journey; appreciate you.
Actually yes na yes!!! I agree with your suggestion
Praying for wisdom and breakthroughs this year. Thank you for the tips Ms.Rica ❤️
Before u read Bible pray to God that he will gave u more wisdom so that u understand the word of God.
I started reading the Bible 30years ago . yes life changing . your doing a great job. and u are so cute. God bless
Life changing po sya talaga at more knowledge, nakaka inspire kac nasasagot mga curiosity mo s Buhay.
Tagalog Bible po sakn at gustu ko ESV, NIV AT KJV po ms rica 🙏GOD BLESS YOU
My mentor taught me the LCD Pro, Lessons learned, Commands to obey, Do's and Don't's, Promise and Pray according to the promise. That way, we are praying God's will for us because it's really from Him.
thank you for this Ms. Rica!! it's inspiring and motivating. it seems like a blessing how God gave our school an academic break, I've been breaking down a lot because i get overwhelmed easily. I hope i can use this time to have more faith in God or ask Him to rekindle my fire. God bless you po!
I'm proud of you that you took this path. Glory be to God.
Thank you for this content. I have recently been into your vlogs and podcast (pati vlog ni Ptr. Joe). I love your insights and your thought process. I have been enjoying your conversations.
Also glad to know na meron palang narrative version of the Bible, i'll check that out.
It is my goal to read the whole Bible (matagal na kong christian pero di ko pa nababasa ng buo) but when the pandemic happened i started again and now i am on 2 Kings. And I encountered so much stories i never knew na nasa Bible. As i continue to read, i began to notice na nag-iiba din yung approach ko. Nung una kasi i'll read it as it is. But now i ask questions like "Lord bakit kaya binanggit ito? Or why do they respect Elisha so much that i feel uncomfortable kasi baka ina-idol na nila si Elisha" and when i ask questions, i can process more sa binabasa ko. Sometimes i even start a discussion with my mom. 😊
so happy to stumble on this :) 'gives me added insights . A praying friend of mine gave me a Bible to read for a whole year and this is great ^^
4:00 - yes ms rica u are correct, 66 chapters sa protestant bible dahil tinanggal yong 7 chapters from the orig catholic bible (73 chapters). si Jesus pala ang mother tongue niya ay Aramaic at merong rebelasyon na "injeel" o Evangeli o Gospel of Jesus na binigay ang ating Panginoon at Tagapaglikha sa kanya. kasi kung pag-aralan ang lalo na NT halos si St Paul na nagsulat at yong 4 gospels according to Mark, Matthew, John, at Luke (buddy ni St.Paul) ay anonymous din ang mga writers.
Ms. Rica I wish this Christmas na maregaluhan ako ng Womens Devotional Bible. Thank you so much.
a time to refresh my self and a time to read again the bible...
thank you for reminding me ❤️
Thank you so much Ms Rica I really want this content on how to read the bible. I am new Christian and starting my walk with Christ and this will help me a lot. God bless and more content about being with God
Thank you so much for this Ms. Rica♥️
I always look up to you☺️ Most especially in your spiritual journey♥️
I hope you can make a content next time about how to properly join a prayer, fasting and consecration. By that i mean how do you really prepare yourself before committing on doing it, what are the things you really surrender to God to fast, and how do you celebrate upon fulfilling it all☺️ Tbh Ms Rica im really excited to join this year's Every Nation Abide Prayer, Fasting and Consecration but unfortunately i did failed because i havent even prepared myself really ahead of time😔 I hope you can consider my idea and thank you so much in advance♥️
Take care always Ms Rica, Pastor Joe, Philip, Manu and all of your family & loved ones. God bless you all♥️
Amen. Thank you for this Ms. Rica. God bless you and your family.
Amen! I love when you use your platform for Jesus. ❤

eto na yung vlog na inaantay ko nung nagtanong ako kung mayron ng bible reading plan 😍
thank you rica god is good
Thank you for this! Watching this while doing my daily devotionals and reading scriptures. Sharing this tips also to my co-youth members
Hello Ms Rica. I liked the SOAP technique that you shared. I'd like to start doing it, as well as really setting a specific time of the day when I can read my bible and pray, without distractions. That made me reflect on my current quiet time. Thanks for the video.
Just wanted to share that I have been a fan of yours since I was literally a kid. I even had the Rica Papaya soap hahaha. One time years ago (my fam and I went to church at VFort) and I got to sit next to you. You saw my bible (which had a kinda dryfit cloth cover with a pocket in the front) and said "ang cute ng bible mo". Then you asked permission to show it to your friend next to you and then you gave it back to me after. It was a memorable experience because my fave celeb thought that my bible was cute and that was my first and last interaction with you. Hahaha. Anyway, I admire your intelligence and how your videos are informative and insightful. I praise God for your testimony and how He's using you in this platform to share His Word and advance His Kingdom.
Thank you for all the tips and sharing your journey in reading the bible
Thank you for this video po,,napakahelpful po para sa mga gaya po naming nag sstart mag aral ng salita ng Diyos,Godbless po
May God bless your kindness, Sister 🙏🙏
Nakaka inpire ka Miss Rica.Sana all artist maging born again na.Godbless.
Love your tips 💚💚💚
I just recently bought the Reader's Digest Illustrated Edition Bible (RSV), bought it at the Book Sale Store for less than 600. It's huge and heavy, that would probably cost around 5K originally. There are pictures and it doesn't have verse numbers. It was a good find. The funny thing was, I went to that store 2 or 3 weeks after I decided to buy a Bible I loved. I just couldn't afford it at that time, so I said I'd come back for it, but sadly it wasn't available already. Then I found this Reader's Digest Bible. It was definitely cheaper, bigger, and heavier than the original one I was planning on buying.
Thank you Ms.Rica for this vlog. Matagal ko na gusto matutunan mag basa ng Bible. Thank you for this guidance. Your videos are blessings to us. Thank you thank you.
thank you so much Mrs. Rica for all the guides that you've provided for us to start our journey in starting to read the Holy Book. well I also share to you my thoughts for my next plan: to wear the flowers as a princess of God that is to feel the presence by reading the Bible and starting to bloom which is also to have the SOAP Journal. ♡ thank you again and much Mrs. Rica!
Hi Ms Rica! Thank you po for sharing your own experiences and recommendations on reading the bible. I just wanna share also a planner na nabili ko po sa shopee. It's called Daily interact planner from 'In his love' shop (I am NOT affliated with the shop). It also has tips on how to read the bible. Everyday indicated din ung bible chapters na pwede mo basahin to finish reading the bible in 1 year and may certain pages din where you can write prayer requests. May mga bible verses din per page. So yun po, I just wanna share it to others 😁 God bless!
Thank you ate Rica for this 😇 Reading the Bible is really life- changing po talaga 😇 God bless you po. ❤️
Very timely talaga all your vlogs ms. Rica! I was really longing to start to read and understand the bible. But there are a lot of questions that keep me from starting and whenever I try to start nawawala ako. Very helpful mga tips mo will add it to my ways and hopefully maging successful.
Pray about the time (the when). At first inisip ko na before bedtime but para relax but sadly it didnt work natutulugan ko ang magbasa. So I pray about it then God impress me wake up early morning. And yes I did, though 8 am ang pasok ko I would wake at 5 am do household chores,exercise a bit and then my quiet time with Him. Why ganun? Because pag nakikita ko makalat paligid ko I cant concentrate, and pag nakapag exercise a bit magigising ang diwa ko. and it wokred for me almosy a year now 🥰
Thanks so much po dito. I watched your collabs with Toni G and I was really inspired to read the bible. Hindi ko lang alam pano. Your video is concise and very unedrstandable.
Thank you for this Ms. Rica. It's worth sharing.
thank you ms. Rica. Very helpful po itong vlog no. Hindi Nampe pressure but you are lovingly just guiding and explaining about reading bible. God bless you more.❤️
Proverbs 4:22 God's words bring life and healing 🙏 ❤

Thank you Ms Rica truly enlightening for our souls and be reminded that bible is not really just like a newspaper that you have to flip amd turn to read or see is there something good to read about. Really need to open our heart to feel and welcome the most purest love of all the love of our God. God bless Ms Rica
Continue to share the word of God pls.Thanks.
This made me encourage and help me learn a lot to understand His word. Since I have been struggling to do it. Thank you for this video ate huhuh.
I would really love to start and read the Bible again.
Thank you the advice Ms. Rica. I will apply this to my journey on reading the bible. God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mrs Rica, thank you so much! Lalo na sa mga Ricammendations mo! God bless us 💝
Coffee time with God is like walking on the beach while He teaches me His Word.
Thank you Rica, God Bless you
masarap mg basa ng bible pag tinubuan ka ng Love para kay Jesus ung ramdam mo sa sarili mo na hindi mk na kayang mawalay sa presence nya paulit ulit mong hahanapin ung feeling ng kapayapaan at security ayun ang natutunan ko sa aking spiritual journey na possible pala talagang mahalin mo ang Diyos bukod sa lahat dahil pag natuto mo syang mahalin magagawa ming mahalin ng tama ang mga tao sa paligid mo
Thank you for sharing! It's a great help for those whose starting their Bible journey. God bless.
Grateful for this. This is what I really need even 🙏💓☺️.
Yey! Thank you for your RICAmmendations! I did my amazon purchase right away. The Story and The Child's Story Bible are 2022 goals! 🥰
Hallelujah! SOAP
Scripture, Observed, Apply, Prayer...
Thank you for sharing this Ms. Rica 😊. Would be interested to have a devotion video from you soon.
Personal tip: I have 3 different Bible apps on my phone:
First app for my Daily Psalm reading (one chapter each day). This is my morning reading
- 2nd for Old Testament (One chapter a day starting from Genesis until you finish the whole O.T.
- 3rd one for New Testament, one chapter a day starting at Matthew until you finish the entire N.T.
I read the Old and the New Testament chapters in afternoon or evening when I have plenty of time. Through this I would be able to read the entire Bible by devoting one chapter a day.
Wow this is great Sis. Ive been praying, seeking how to be more engaged in reading the Bible. Sa totoo lng po medjo naaantok po ako sa old testament. Maganda po itong shinare mo atleast I can explore the Bible more. God Bless Sis. This is a true blessing ❤️😇
@@JaneMomlifeDiary God bless you too.😁
Wow..thanks for sharing your daily routine for reading the bible..i would love to do it too..thanks and Godbless you,stay safe and healthy.😊😊🙏🙏☝️☝️
