THE PLACE OF PHYSICAL SUBSTANCES IN THE GOSPEL FRIDAY APRIL 14 TEXT: GALATIANS 1: 6-9; 3:1-3 Key Verse: “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Galatians 3:3 Miracles are acts of supernatural occurrences in human existence. They include common and uncommon miracles. Common miracles occur often while uncommon miracles happens once in a life time e.g. Jesus walking on the sea, turning water into wine, handkerchief and apron from the body of the Apostle Paul healed the sick, the shadow of Peter healed the sick, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip after baptizing the Ethiopian Eunuch. All these happened within a period of time and never occurred again. The gospel of Christ is the gospel of faith. Take note that the present day miracles of apron, handkerchief, holy water, anointing oil, etc are not from God. The devastating effects of the use of these materials are enormous. They include: (1) This practice shifts the attention of man from God to physical substances. The curse of God rests on these preachers; (2) It prevents the salvation of sinners who turn their faith to material things. This is idolatry; (3) To them, faith can be obtained not on God alone but also physical substances Galatians 3:1-3; (4) The use of these physical materials is a revisit to the “selling of Indulgence” by the Catholic Popes during the dark ages. The promotion of these anointed objects has taken over the place of Jesus; (5) Faith in these physical objects is a recourse to the larger temptation of natural man on earth who always seek to represent God through physical objects. These object prayed upon by the prophets are carefully kept by members; (6) Satan can take advantage of the shipwreck of these men of God 2 Corinthians 2: 11; 11: 13 – 15. Thought of the day: Beware of idolatry Song of the day: Give me the old time religion 3x its good enough for me Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 15-16; Luke 14:25-35 #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...
