TOPIC: LOVE AND WISDOM. THURSDAY JULY 20
TEXT: JAMES 1:4-6
KEY VERSE: “Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom.” (Colossians 3:16).

The word of God must dwell in the believer richly in all wisdom. This calls for proper interpretation of scripture, right discernment of the truth and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Love must always be pure and must aim at the ultimate good of the other. Wisdom calls for right action to be taken to achieve the desired end. Godly wisdom is pure, undefiled and is given by God. Every man must exercise wisdom in love. Wisdom cautions and advises. Where wisdom is lacking, we must pray for it.
• Wisdom may demand withdrawal or change of attitude in order to overcome eminent temptation, recover from chastisement and maintain purity.
• Wisdom may advise that some good be withheld from another temporarily in order to reprove or correct the person of wrong behaviour.
• Wisdom learns from personal experience and the experience of others.
• Wisdom may suggest right action to be taken for purpose of precaution and safety.
• Wisdom delivers from danger. Thus, while we are commanded to love our enemy, the Spirit of wisdom teaches us what to do and how to apply scripture and avoid harm from our enemies, as seen in David and Saul.

In this world of apostasy, mixed multitude and Satanism in the church, we must love with discernment and wisdom in order not to be destroyed by the enemy. Wisdom is required in ministry, parenting and leadership. Fervent love must continue among us as brethren. This love is shed in our hearts by the Holy Ghost at salvation. It must be practiced in the bounds of scripture and in the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:14-16.

Thought for the day: Divine wisdom is pure and peaceable.
Song for the day: I have no power of my own…
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 31-33; Acts 21:15-40

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...
