TOPIC: GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN       
AUGUST Monday 27th

TEXT: Philippians: 4:11-13

KEY VERSE: But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6: 6

Why don't you wait on God for your needs? Why must you steal to pay your children’s school fees? Is it not a curse the father is bringing on the children through the accursed thing? You want to mortgage their lives to Satan? Why not be patient with God as you wait on His promise? The Bible says in Psalm 37:25, “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”

In one of the locations I pastored in Deeper Life Bible Church, I paid my tithe as usual during one of the services. Surprisingly, when the offering and tithes were counted after service to enable us take some money and buy something we needed for the church, the whole money was less than the tithe I paid. More surprisingly, another member said he too had paid a tithe which was even higher than mine. Where is the money? We enquired from the ushers but innocence was written all over their faces, yet at least one of them was a thief.  We then decided that collections during service should no longer be taken to the cash counting room but kept beside the presiding pastor at the altar until after service when counting could be properly supervised. One Sunday, there was power outage after offering bags had been placed beside the pastor. By the time light was restored, one of the bags had developed legs and dropped somewhere close to the altar. Apparently, the thieving usher had panicked and dropped the bag he or she was making away with when the light was restored.

In Serra Leone, there was an old usher the church leadership trusted so much. Unknown to them, she had been dividing the offering and helping herself with half. It was after she came to Holiness Revival Movement and learnt about restitution that she went to the church and confessed her sin and took them to the house she built with stolen offering money. Only contentment can make you rejoice in what God has given you, however small or big. Lack of contentment will make you covetous and unappreciative of God’s grace upon your life. That would be adding sin upon sin.

Thought for the day: Be contented and thankful for what you have.
Song for the day:   Amen, I have found Jesus, Amen, He is able to do all things.
Bible reading for the day:  Psalm 132-135; 1 Corinthians 8
For taking your time to study remain blessed.

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...
