God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies What Is Worldliness?  Thursday 7th May  Text: 1 John 2: 15-17.  Key Verse: So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:8.  Worldliness refers to the lifestyle and activities of sinful men living in this world which are invented, inspired and promoted by Satan, the god of this world. These things are contrary to the word, way, and will of God, and they defile, corrupt and damn human souls in hell fire. Worldliness is living according to the dictates of the world, which is pure carnality. These include the ‘love of money’. Many people make money their god. It is their reason for living. They do many evil things to get money. They disregard God's commands and righteous demands because of the drive for money in them. "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sor...

Acts.24:16.  Conscience is stated in the Bible as one of our essential weapons for a successful spiritual life and ministry. Do you know what will give you this clear conscience? It is this restitution. When you do what is right and lawful, your conscience will be very clear, and peaceful. Beloved brothers and sisters, if you hurt or offended somebody, if you stole somebody's property, if you have restitution to make and you have not made it, your conscience will not be clear, especially after you might have heard or read about restitution. Your conscience will be pricking you like a needle piercing your soul. When you offend somebody and you see the person coming your way, your heart will jump because...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies The Righteous Can Also Get Sick Tuesday 5th May  Text: Psalms 41:1-3 Key Verse: Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. 2 Kings 13:14a Here, we are considering the cases of sicknesses and diseases of the righteous, because there are people who think that righteous people cannot get sick. Not that the righteous must be ill. No! However, let us consider the following circumstances in order to understand more of God’s wisdom: God can manifest His power in a special sense as He led the children of Israel from Egypt to the promise land. The Bible says that there was no feeble man among them. Even the clothes that they put on their body did not wear out. That is a special manifestation of the power of God. God can decide to make things happen this way. But is it that believers' clothes do not wear out? No! They wear out. Many of your clothes have worn out. In fact, the clothes you u...

Many of the Lord's soldiers are fatally wounded on account of money. We must take measures to restore fallen ones in wisdom and meekness. Don't allow yourself to fall. As a pastor or shepherd, it is your responsibility to know how your flocks are doing and shield them from what may make them fall. Are they being well rewarded?  2 Corinthians 8:16-23, “But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you. For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you. And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches; And no...

The Holy Scripture is a book of record that shows the mind and works of God among men. It gives a glimpse of the works of God in heaven and the whole universe. In the Holy Bible, you will find statistics of the number of people, family members, genealogy, firstborn, meetings and so on. For instance, it tells us that five thousand people ate the five loaves and two fishes, apart from women and children, two people were on their way to Emmaus when resurrected Jesus met them, one hundred and twenty people were in the upper room on the day of Pentecost.  Also, you will find out in the scriptures that records of fi...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Testimony Of God’s Call By Pastor Paul Rika (Part 2) Saturday 2nd May Text: Psalm 25: 1-5 Key Verse: Psalms 25:4 “Show me Thy ways, O Lord, teach me Thy paths.” I went to Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria. In 1986, I attended a program organised by Ben Oruma, the chaplain of Kongo campus, but before the program, George Adeboye was invited from Kwara State by the Fellowship of Christian Students, FCS. At that time, I was the general coordinator of the Deeper Life Campus Fellowship in ABU. While he was ministering, he said, “There is a young man here, something is going on inside your spirit concerning going to full-time after school. Listen to me carefully. Concerning going on full-time after the school you are presently in. The Lord says I should say unto you, ‘As long as ye desire to go, your NYSC posting shall be to such a place as I desire, and you will be starting from there. This will certain...
