Everything You need to Know about the Adullam Bible School

Established by God through the ministry of Apostle Arome Osayi, the Adullam Bible School functions as a subsidiary of the Remnant Christian Network (RCN) and operates with a mandate to strive for the rebirth of apostolic christianity, together, heralding the revival of Christ.

 

According to the Chairman of the Adullam Bible School, Apostle Arome Osayi, the school is called RCN Bible SEMINARY or ADULLAM. Adullam means Justice of the people. It was mentioned eight (8) times in scriptures. The Cave of Adullam has been discovered about two (2) miles south of the scene of David's triumph, and about thirteen (13) miles west from Bethlehem. It stood on the old Roman road in the valley of Elah, which was the scene of David's memorable victory over Goliath (1Samuel 17:2), and not far from Gath. The Cave of Adullam became a place of resort for David as recorded in 1st Samuel 22:1-2 saying

 

David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him. And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men. (KJV)

Also, we see that three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam (1st Chronicles 11:15-16, 2nd Samuel 23:8). The Cave of Adullam therefore became a forge for turning charlatans into champions and a retreat center for refreshing and retooling. It is the PLACE, both for the apprentice and the veteran. It was called "the glory of Israel" (Micah 1:15).

The Ground Rules include that all classes are compulsory and punctuality is mandatory. Also, absence from classes up to three lessons will attract expulsion from the program.

As a people called to be priests and kings unto the Lord (1Pe 2:9; Rev. 1:6; 5:10), appearance at every point must be an act of worship to the Lord.

And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons. And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty. (Exodus 28:1,2)
