TOPIC:   BELOVED, STAND IN THE GAP AS THE NEED ARISES.  WEDNESDAY AUGUST 16
TEXT:  2 Samuel 20:16-19
KEY VERSE:  A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Proverbs 15:1.

From our reading text, we see that this woman was in the city where a stubborn man had run into. Joab the captain of David’s army came in to destroy the city because of that man. But this wise woman in that city stood in the gap in wisdom to pacify Joab with her words and was able to save the entire city from impending doom. Only the stubborn person was destroyed instead of the whole city. A whole city was saved from destruction by the gift of wisdom God had given this mother in Israel. A similar scenario played out in the life of David. Abigail, the wife of Nabal, had stood in gap to avert the wiping out of her entire family by David’s men. She had also saved David from shedding innocent blood as a result of the indiscretion of her foolish husband.

And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. 1 Samuel 25:32-34.

The gift of God in a woman can bring her to prominence in this life. A man’s gift (women’s also) makes a way for him and bring him before kings. The Lord gave this woman a gift. She told Joab, “I am one of those people, wise counselors, that give counsel to Israel. Have you come to kill everybody in this city? Then you will destroy a mother in Israel.” The gift God has given to a woman opens the door to her for ministry among God’s people. It was clear that both men and women in Israel resorted to this woman for counsel.


Thought for the day: Without being forward, actively play your role when the need arises.  
Song for the day: Here am I, send me…
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 105-106; Romans 15:1-21

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...
