TOPIC: DO NOT JOIN THEM
JULY Thursday 5

TEXT: 1 John 2:15-17
KEY VERSE: But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Galatians 6: 14

As a child of God, you are in the created natural habitat of God called the world but not part of the world of evil and sin. You were there before but you have been brought out through the grace and power of God. Because you live among people in the world system, you will still be witnessing their evil lifestyle but you must not be influenced by it or follow their way of life. In this world system, they dress to provoke God to anger and call it fashion. But God has a verdict for them in Zephaniah 1:8 “And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.” They will look down on you and pass derogatory comments about your godly dressing, but why should you care? After all, you are to live to please God who gave you eternal life not man or Satan who has nothing to offer you other than pain, misery and death. The world will organize and do whatever they want. Don’t join them. They will engage in all kinds of traditional festivals to appease the gods of the land, don’t join them or lend support to them. They will consume all kinds of drinks from red alcoholic wine to local palm wine. Don’t join them. The world boasts after titles, position, achievements, certificates. Don’t join them. You boast in the Lord. If you start loving the pattern of the world, you have gone back to the school of Satan.

From today’s reading text, we see that all these worldly things are for a time. They will soon pass away. Be crucified to the world (Galatians 6:14). Crucifixion is a slow painful death which reverberates through all members of the body. It may be painful to separate yourself from worldly friends and relatives, worldly tastes, worldly fashion and worldly values, but it is a choice you must make for the sake of your soul. You must be ready to lose some old friends because keeping them will be a bad influence on your new way of life.

Thought for the day: Evil Company corrupts good manners. 
Song for the day: I will never go back to the world anymore
Bible reading for the day:
Job 31-32; Acts 13:1-23

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...

My Spirit Will Follow You To Do My Work.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. My Spirit Will Follow You To Do My Work.  Sunday 16th November  Text: Acts 16: 9-10 Key verse: Mark 16: 20 “And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following, Amen.” Continuation of revelation of Brother Dieudonne:  The Lord said, “I am here to gather My people before the trumpet sounds. My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit. When My Spirit enters, if you obey My word, My Spirit will follow you to do My work. People will listen to you and follow you. They are My chosen. If they listen to My word and reject it, let them go. Evangelize, preach My word to everybody, I am here gathering My people before My coming. If the time was not finished, would the animals have come to Noah? The time is...

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...
