SCRIPTURAL ADVICE ON CRITICS AND CRITICISM SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4 TEXT: ACTS 23:1-5 Key Verse: “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” James 1:19 The society criticizes everybody, in fact men also criticize God but I encourage that you don’t allow criticism turn you down. May God grant you the grace to handle and manage criticism in a righteous manner in Jesus name. The right attitude towards critics and criticism is: (1) Purify your heart from loving criticism - James 4:8; (2) Keep your heart from partaking in another man’s sin. He loves backbiting and he is looking for you to drag into sin, please keep yourself - 1 Timothy 5:22; (3) Be slow to speak. Control your tongue - James 1: 19, 26. The Christianity of a talkative is in vain; (4) Be warned of the danger of idle words - Matthew 12:36-37; (5) Turn away from backbiters and unkind critics; (6) Verify your facts well before taking action or making comments - Proverbs 18:17; (7) Be afraid of criticizing God ordained minister - Acts 23:1-5. Therefore your role in critism as a Christian are as follows: (a) Listen to the facts carefully; (b) Judge righteous judgment; (c) Listen to the accused statement. Proverbs 18:17; (d) Consider facts from other witnesses; (e) Make diligent investigation or enquiry to be sure of the truth of the case; (f) Keep your comments until later if need be; (g) Learn from Jesus account on criticism. Conclusively, respond to critics and criticism this way: (1) Do not refused to be criticized - Matt 5:3a (2) Good criticism against you are the smiting of a friend - Proverbs 27:5,6 (3) Consider the criticism to see whether it is from God, sent to purify you and prefect you for all things work together for your good. (4) Humbly explain to your sincere accuser(s) the truth of the matter for your mutual understanding and peace. (5) Be quiet and calm in the face of arrogant critics. (6) Take the critic and criticism to God in prayer. (7) If you are guilty, seek to make peace if you are not, leave your case to God. Thought of the day: Do not refused to be criticized because it is a part of your Christian life. Song of the day: You are the Lord that is Your name, You will never share Your glory with any man… Bible reading for the day: Exodus 34-36; Matthew 23:1-22 #horemow.

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...
