Believers’ Victory Over Temptations, Persecutions And Sufferings

Tuesday 28th April 

Text: Matthew 5: 9-12
Key Verse: Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all Psalms 34: 19.
Temptation is that which entices one to act contrary to the will of God. The mission of temptation is to make the believer commit sin and suffer the penalty of sin in hell. The devil is the tempter, and his target is the believer. It is not a sin to be tempted, but it is however, a sin to yield to temptation. Jesus instructed believers to watch and pray to avoid being victims of temptation (Mathew 26:41). King Solomon advised, “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not (Proverbs 1:10).”
The Philistines promised to reward Delilah handsomely if she could entice Sampson to disclose the source of his strength. Sampson could not withstand the temptation and became a victim of his weakness. He had the opportunity to resist the devil that used Delilah against him but did not utilise it. God is able to keep you from the hour of temptation if you can live in obedience to His word. He knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation (2 Peter 2:9).
It is normal for Christ’s followers to suffer persecution and to face various challenges in life for righteousness’ sake. These confrontations should be handled with faith, prayers and thanksgiving to God who is our Comforter, Sustainer, Provider, Wisdom and Victory. Believers should face challenges of life with patience (2 Thess 1:4). The sufferings of Christ which you experience today are not worthy to be compared with the glory of God which shall be lavished on you if you can endure to the end (Romans 8:18). As many as are partakers of the afflictions of the gospel of Christ right now, shall be partakers of His consolation in due time (2 Cor. 1:7). Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith took the lead in the afflictions of the gospel. The glory that followed has swallowed up the pains of the suffering.  Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Thought For The Day: All things work together for the good of God’s lovers.

Song For The Day: Tempted and tried we’re oft made to wonder.

Bible Reading For The Day: 1 Chronicles 1-2

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
