TOPIC: ZEAL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE IS UNPROFITABLE. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 15
TEXT: Romans 10:1-3
KEY VERSE: For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Romans 10:2.
There are many who profess Christ but live contrary to his teaching. Many are involved in denominational religious practice but they are not obeying the teaching of our Lord. Some of them are indeed sincere and zealous for Christ but they are not continuing steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine. Care must be taken not to bring the name of God into disrepute in the course of serving Him or do anything that could bring about a fall.
Let us consider the believer’s relationship with the opposite sex in ministry. When Jesus the man of Galilee went about ministering to people from place to place, the disciples were all men. The reason is not known, perhaps it is because of the risk involved. To go about with women in ministry is risky, especially when mixed with men. Some of the women disciples were married and mothers of children and home keepers who cannot leave their immediate environment. May be these were the reasons why Jesus did not mix women with the men, being careful that His ministry be not abused.
It is vital to say that women in particular must be very careful not to abuse the gospel of Christ through zeal without knowledge. A particular woman minister came to Abuja, Nigeria, knowing no one and having no money. She said the Holy Ghost led her to the City to preach. She ended up lodging in the same room with a man, cooking and eating together. God surely did not send her or else she acted foolishly to her destruction. The woman must be disciplined. She must not waste her life. She must not go about recklessly in the name of ministry. She can easily fall into immorality. Promiscuous men can easily overcome her when she is unduly exposed. She must, therefore, be wise and calculate her ways. She must display the dignity of Christ’s minister and purity of a true Christian woman. Seek counsel and be guided in ministry. In the same manner, men must not expose themselves unduly to temptation in the course of serving God. Too much intimacy with the opposite sex is an invitation to disaster.
Thought for the day: Zeal without knowledge is like smoke without fire.
Song for the day: When you come to collect your people
Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 28-29; 2 Corinthians 7

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...
