TOPIC: GOD IS CALLING YOU TO RESTORATION. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 23
TEXT: GENESIS 35:2-4
KEY VERSE: “Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garment” (Gen 35:2).

God called Jacob to go back to Bethel. Today we will consider the purposes of this divine summon. God needed to bring Jacob up to Bethel to restore him to:

• His Holiness: God does not condone any form of iniquity (inward or outward).
• The Eternity of His Word: His word does not change. His standards of truth, righteousness and holiness are unchangeable.
• The Dreadfulness of His House: a place of His presence, honour, holiness and judgment.
• The Purpose of His House: it is the gate of heaven to humanity.

The reasons God took Jacob up to Bethel might be because (a) He had forgotten the unchangeable standard of His word (b) He would have been negligent in teaching his household or congregation the pure word of God. (c) He was unable to enforce it upon his congregation (d) He was overpowered by his congregation (e) Satan prevailed over him.
For some of the reasons above he was taken back to Bethel and restored, revived, renewed, re-envisioned and re-commissioned. Going up to Bethel the place for righteousness, holiness and commitment to God and His ways was a call to the congregation that followed Jacob as well. There, everyone saw God for himself or herself: the wives, children and servants. God would reach out to everyone personally and every one enjoyed the love of God himself or herself. Let everyone in the family or church seek to know God by himself. Study His word for yourself. The implication of this call was outlined before them.

• They were to put away the strange gods among them.
• They were to repent and be clean.
• They were to change their ungodly clothing and adornment.
• They were to put away their earrings and change their dress code from sinful one to godly one. When they did these things, they enjoyed God's presence, protection, provision, blessing, miracles and fruitfulness.

Open yourself to God as an individual, family or congregation for restoration, revival, renewal, re-envisioning and re-commissioning in Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide. Announce the call to Bethel that all churches may hear. Bring as many to Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide, God will renew them.

Thought for the day: Worship God in the beauty of holiness.
Song for the day: Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb…
Bible reading for the day: Song of Solomon 6-8; Galatians 1

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...
