INTRODUCING BIBLE PATTERN BOOKS
Bible Pattern Books are written by Pastor Z. A. Ogunsanya. His books are mostly well researched textbooks. Many churches and Bible colleges are using them to lecture their members and students respectively. Many Redeemed Christian Church of God pastors and many other men of God from Deeper Life, Gospel Faith Mission, Foursquare, Assemblies of God etc, have encouraged him through their patronage, comments, criticism and corrections.
Hundreds of other gospel ministers have reacted positively after coming in contact with his books:
▸ Some asked for more copies and sent words of encouragement and prayers. For example: Oba Osile of Oke-Ona in Abeokuta, Oba Adedapo Tejuosho.
▸ Some wrote letters of encouragement and appreciation e.g. Pastor Lawon of Full Stature Gospel Ministry at Ibadan, Oyo State of Nigeria.
▸ Some personally visited him to appreciate and encourage him e.g. a C.A.C. pastor and his pastor father after reading his book titled Bible Holiness and the use of Jewellery some years ago.
▸ Some bought more copies and recommended them to others: for example, Rev. R. Popoola of the New Testament Church, Ilorin.
▸ Others bought and sold it to their customers and other Christians through their Church Bookshops. For example the Bible Wonderland at Ojuelegba, Ketu, Pen Cinema, Iyana Ipaja, Akowonjo all in Lagos; CMS Bookshop, Broad Street, Solid Rock Bookshop, Onipanu, Life Bookshop Ikorodu, Wisdom Bookshop, Opebi etc.
▸ Some bought very many copies for ministers under them. An example is Rev. Adeleye who pastors the main church of the New Testament Church in Lagos.
▸ Some sought permission (which was not necessary anyway) to use them in teaching their members and Bible School students (names withheld).
▸ Some invited him to minister in their special and annual programmes. Among such are the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Festac Town Parish, City of the Lord Church (formerly Christ Progressive Prayer Church), Christ Gospel Apostolic Church in Isolo, a zonal Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Ajah, etc.

Pastor Z. A. Ogunsanya is the General Overseer of Bible Pattern Church, which God used him to start in 1983 with less than 10 people. Today, the church is having branches in Lagos, Aqua Ibom, Edo, Ekiti, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun, River State; in Abuja, the Federal Capital of Nigeria and a branch in Accra, Ghana. God has used him to write (with his wealth of experience in the Christian service) books that have and will ever affect lives in this generation and in ages to come. This he did to actually take believers round the various aspects of the Christian theology: Biblical theology, Systematic theology, Historical theology, Practical theology, etc.
In fact, scarcely is there any branch of Christian theology, Pastor Z. A. Ogunsanya has not taught and written about. Some of the topics are available in book form (few of which are voluminous), some in the form of Tracts and newsletters (“Bible Pattern Manna”), while some others are hidden inside books with different topics.
He has also been used of God to coin some new theological topics such as:
□ Semeionology (Study about Miracles, Signs and Wonders of the Bible)
□ Karposology (Study about the Fruit of the Holy Spirit)
□ Charismatology (Study about the Miraculous Gifts of the Holy Spirit)
□ Angelology (Study about the Angels)
□ Christiansology (Study about Christians and Christianity)
□ Hagiasmosology (Study about Sanctification & Holiness)
