How to read bible studies
God has laid down in his word how to obtain the truth from the scriptures. Leviticus 11:1-8 describes how to obtain "clean meat" under the law and gives the principles for us to obtain spiritually "clean meat", that is, the truth from God’s word. Two things are essential, the scripture must be rightly divided (dividing the hoof), and it must be meditated upon (chewing the cud). These scriptures need therefore to be meditated upon, so go over the same scripture over and over again, just as a cow chews the same food over and over. Reading the scriptures through without meditation is equivalent to dividing the hoof, but not chewing the cud. This is the same as eating swine’s flesh, which is unclean meat (Leviticus 11:7), it provokes God’s anger (Isaiah 65:3-4), and he will ultimately consume those that do it (Isaiah 66:15-17). The best way is to read the scriptures aloud over and over, because by doing this you will be seeing the words, saying the words, and hearing the words, all of which help the word to enter into your heart.
Secondly, study with a humble and open heart, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6); he is under no obligation to open the understanding of anyone who thinks that they already know it all.
Thirdly, be prepared to change your ideas if God shows you something new. "Stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry." (1 Samuel 15:23), and those who stubbornly refuse to change when some new truth is revealed to them are resisting perfection. Nobody will ever make perfection unless they are prepared to change every single belief that they currently hold, when it is revealed through the rightly divided scriptures to be wrong. When Jesus returns again, he is coming for a perfect church, "a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; ... holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5:27).
My prayer is that God will bless with understanding all those who approach these studies with an open and humble heart, that we may all be part of that glorious church when the day comes.

Message from the desk
Dear Prospective Student,
The ability to think is the gift of the Creator, and the desire to know is divinely implanted. Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” So, proper recognition and respect for God is the first step of education. A wise man can render a reason for all he does, but a fool is smug in his thoughtlessness. A wise man will increase in wisdom, but a fool is closed-minded.
Education is a progression from Knowledge to Understanding to Wisdom, as the process of eating to digestion to physical energy. The Biblical Knowledge program centers on God's Word. The purpose of the program is to empower workers for the kingdom of God. We choose to live according to God's will by focusing on these Biblical principles:
Matt 28:19 “Go and make disciples…”
Mark 16:15 “Go and preach to all nations...”
As Harvest Mission Divine Institute is a Free program and is a non-denominational. It was founded in 2017. It is now possible for you to achieve the college or seminary training you have always wanted. Our students are enrolled in Program and are enjoying the benefits of in-depth biblical foundational teaching that is enabling them to skillfully evangelize the world for Christ in a minimal amount of time. Obviously, there is a great demand for this and we are privileged to provide this vital training by faith as a missionary endeavor trusting in the Lord to provide this through the body of Christ. The courses are Bible-based not concentrating on church history or doctrine but on the power of the Holy Spirit and the life-changing power of God's Word. There are courses to deepen your faith, strengthen your walk in God, as well as courses that will empower you in your service for God.
Our ultimate goal and purpose is to train ministers in the least expensive way possible so that our graduates can competently reach multitudes for Christ. We daily pray that our students become great in the kingdom of God. By faith, we also trust the Lord for our personal needs as well as the needs of the Institute and see God’s miraculous provision in many ways. We hereby introduce an online bible college both in English and Malayalam.
It is our desire to equip men and women with the knowledge they need to become efficient in the field of labor to which God has called them. Also seeks to mold character through a wholesome and intellectual study of God's Word. We believe that all people, regardless of their educational level, should have an opportunity to receive a Bible education.
Learning is essential for deciding what things are least and most important, and for making intelligent choices in your everyday life. Much of your present lifestyle has been shaped by everything you’ve learned since birth.
With catastrophic events escalating around the world, many are challenged within themselves and are seeking answers to find out why such things are taking place. This is why applying our lives to sound biblical instruction is so vital for the days ahead and why we believe God has opened the door to providing this anointed curriculum to our students.
At Harvest Mission Divine Institute, Our Curriculum:
• Provides answers, spiritual help and counsel.
• Brings truth and real and lasting peace and comfort.
• Will lead you into the knowledge of Jesus Christ and teach you how to share His love with others.
It’s a big responsibility God has given us as so many need their minds renewed to the word of God to have any victory in their lives. We want you to know that many are the prayers for you because you need to know how much God loves and cares for you and how we value each person the Lord brings our way.
You are important and vital to this organization and we pray that the seeds of God’s word that are planted in your heart through His Spirit and this curriculum, enable you to successfully live the abundant life that Christ died to give you.
Christ did not save us to live our lives for ourselves. We are to take up His cross daily and to fight the good fight of faith in fulfilling the great commission by winning others to Christ for His glory. And that is the bottom line in the Harvestime curriculum which equals out to personal and spiritual fulfillment that has great and eternal rewards.
1st John 5:4 & 5 says, “For whoever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God”
On your part, you must demonstrate mature Christian faith and discipline and a sense of destiny under divine leadership. “It was He who gave some to be apostle, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the Body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining the full measure of perfection found in Christ” (Ephesians 4:11-13
May God richly bless you as you seek to study His Word and grow in your walk with Him by faith! (Romans 11:36)
We wish you all the best in your spiritual and academic journey.
Blessings in Christ,
A Disciple of Christ

Beginning with a comprehensive overview of the scriptures, the HDMI curriculum integrates personal, community, and special applications of God’s Word. By completing the program, learners encounter God’s presence in their lives, work, church, and community.
Why are the courses free? This is just too good to be true! Thousands of students from around the world are deprived of a bible college education due to lack of funds and availability. HMDI specifically designed to be a blessing to the Body of Christ. We have been able to provide free education to benefit those who can not afford the exorbitant educational costs of other Christian college or Seminary.
How long does it take to complete the HMDI program? From the time a student enrolls to when a student completes all the courses, submits all their grades shall not be less than one calendar year. As the courses are entirely self-paced, which means that each person’s time to completion will vary, that means that no student shall graduate in less than one (1) calendar year. Depending on your availability to study you may be able to complete 1-2 courses per month as each course differs in length. Learners should expect to spend approximately as much time on each course as they would on an equivalent college course. Normally it should take between one to two years to complete all 22 courses.

Do I have to memorize all the scripture verses? Memorization of all scripture verses in the courses is not mandatory but they are recommended and helpful to everyday life, to the value of the point of the course and to your spiritual growth. As God’s word is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword discerning men’s hearts and intentions (Hebrews 4:12), the scriptures contain the supernatural power through which God can change our hearts, our desires, our lives, and our circumstances so they are a very valuable part of the studies. If you have the time and interest, please read and meditate on the verses as they are life-changing and communicate God’s love and His desires for us.

This ministry is not about any organized religion or denomination, for us to state being Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ. We work inter-denominational, between denominations.
