POWER OF EXEMPLARY LIFE MONDAY JUNE 26 TEXT: MATTHEW 5: 13-16 Key Verse: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” 1 Peter 2: 9 The Lord is calling you to a life of example and that life is called the life of light. You are a light to the world, you are a city built on a hill, a light lighted and put on top of a table that men may see, and be helped, and follow, your life is an example. There is a story told of a muslin student in a university who told his class mate of a person passing by and said if that person preaches Jesus to him, he will believe because he has seen the life of that person, he is living exemplary life. Again, a children teacher was teaching and describing whom Jesus was in character, life style and behaviour, how loving Jesus is as he was describing Jesus, a child raised up his hand and said “I have seen that Jesus, he is my neighbour”. The child has a true Christian in his community whose life was the life of Jesus and the description given about Jesus resembled him. That is what made that child believed he has seen Jesus with his eyes. Another story was told of a preacher who went to preach and played a film for people to watch. After a muslin woman watched the film, she said she believed in the gospel and would have submitted her life to Jesus but she is afraid her daughters would spoil because of dressing of women in Christianity, the nakedness she saw among many Christian women. She was afraid that if she and her family become Christians her daughters will begin to expose their bodies, so she decided not to become a Christian even though she can see the message is right. Such is the negative power of exemplary life. Show an exemplary life that will take others to heaven not that which destroys and condemns. Get a very good Christian husband, he is a message to the wives to preach to their husbands. Again, get a good wife, a godly Christian wife, holy, humble, sanctified, such is a message to husbands and they will preach her to their wives. An industrious child, obedient and submissive, that child will be a message to parents who will preach him to their children. Thought for the day: Be an example that will lead others to heaven not that which destroys. Song for the day: My life shall be a testimony Bible reading for the day: Job 7-9; Acts 7:44-60 #horemow.

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...
