THE PREACHER AS A DILIGENT SERVANT OF CHRIST
SATURDAY JANUARY 13
TEXT: TITUS 1:5-9
Key Verse: “If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto hast attained” 1Timothy 4:6.
As Christ's servant, the preacher is called and commissioned by Christ, hence, his loyalty is to Christ and not to man, a denomination or a board. As God's servant, he must hear the word of God, receive the word from God and know the mind of Christ for himself and for the people. Hearing from God is not just by dreams, vision, inward impression, audible voice. It involves studying and knowing the written word of God in the holy bible. Apart from knowing and receiving the word from God, the preacher needs to be endued with power by the Holy Spirit for utterance, signs and wonders to authenticate the gospel. The preacher must learn the life of faith in order to please God and he must give to prayer in order to receive from God and enjoy His bountiful revelations. As God's servant he must know that suffering for the gospel is the will of God for His ministry as exemplified by Christ.
As God's messenger to men, the preacher should possess the following qualities:
i. He must be faithful to the message, never to change it in fear or pity for the people; otherwise God will not be in the message to effect it.
ii. He must be fearless, bold and courageous in preaching the word to all categories of men.
iii. He must preach sound doctrines that is able to save hearers; not a compromiser of truth.
iv. He must preach the truth without minding whether the people receive his message or not.
v. He must not mind persecution and suffering, so as to accomplish his ministry among the people.
vi. He must be meek, humble, gentle and loving in his disposition.
vii. He must be exemplary in life and character, being a role model to his hearers
God should is the one directing this movement. He has shown sufficient signs and spoken at various times that Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide is His own. We do see the result, the evidence in our lives and in our midst. Hence those who deal with this movement should know that it is not with man but with God. Those who minister here are privileged people. Therefore, let all serve with diligence knowing that they are under the close watch of God.

Thought for the day: Be diligent in service that you may receive commendation and not condemnation.
Song for the day: Lord prepare me a sanctuary
Bible reading for the day: Genesis 31-32; Matthew 10:24-42

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...
