"For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments." (Ezra 7:10)
We should do like Ezra.
1. Seek and study the bible - in prayer.
2. Relate it to the practical life - Do what the bible teaches.
3. Teach others what you have learned. Not necessarily by giving a speech, but by telling them what the Bible says.
A good way to teach others, and get the full understanding of what the Bible says is by memorizing it. Because when we memorizes the word, the Holy Spirit will remind us, whenever we need it - for ourselves our other around us.
The Bible commands us to memorize the scripture, many times, not as a burden, but for our best.
"My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. " (Proverbs 7:1-3)
"And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates." (Deuteronomy 6:6-9)
"How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me your decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. " (Psalms 119:9-15)
