TOPIC: HOW TO MANAGE PROSPERITY AND MAKE IT A BLESSING
JULY WEDNESDAY 4th

TEXT: 1 Timothy 6:17-19
KEY VERSE: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1: 2
Prosperity in the hands of a believer is a blessing if properly managed. It is the desire of God that we prosper in all areas of life and he has made provisions for that. 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Prosperity responds to the principles of divine blessing if we are properly guided. Here are some biblical principles that will guide us.
1. We must acknowledge that God is the Creator of all that we have. Whether we are rich or poor, we must acknowledge God’s provision in our lives. We are stewards of His creation. The whole earth and everything in it is the Lord’s, we are only caretakers of His treasure (Ps. 24:1).
2. We must “seek first His kingdom and His righteousness” (Matt. 6:33). We must acknowledge God’s sovereignty and avoid the dangers of wealth. Greed is not an exclusive attribute of the rich, nor covetousness the exclusive attribute of the poor. Christians must guard against the negative effect of wealth on their spiritual lives. There is nothing wrong with owning possessions but problems come when our life ruled by possession. Righteousness and Holiness are the essential tools required to handle prosperity.
3. Christians should enjoy their prosperity in simplicity. A simple lifestyle can free us from the dangers of being controlled by material possessions and promote a deeper spiritual life. While simplicity is not an end in itself, it can be a means to a spiritual life of service to God and man. Wealth must not be used for a flamboyant lifestyle or to oppress the poor. Simple and humble use of wealth will bring glory to God. It involves:
• Avoiding wastage and gluttony. 
• Devote more time to prayer and meditation on God’s word rather than merriment and frolicking.
• Dress modestly and sensibly. Be dead to worldliness and fashion trends.
• Be generous in giving. If God has prospered you with money or great abilities, prosper others also to the glory of God.
• Pay your dues - tithes, offerings, arms to widows, orphans and the poor. God will proper you beyond measure. Luke 6:38.
Thought for the day:  Beloved, Go and prosper, make progress in your Christian life and ministry, but do not turn your wealth into an idol.
Song for the day:   I can see everything turning around 
Bible reading for the day:
Job 29-30. Acts 12

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...
