TOPIC: LET NO MAN DESPISE THY YOUTH, BE AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS
SEPTEMBER Saturday 15th

TEXT: 2 Thessalonians 3:7-9
KEY VERSE: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4: 12

You might have just begun your Christian life or probably you are a young man and have to deal with older men. The scripture is saying, let no man despise thy youth. Rather, set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. Do not be a jester, talking and laughing uncontrollably and giving no peace to the environment. That would be setting a bad example that will defile the environment. There was a woman that always cut off a protruded part of the chicken whenever she was cutting it to cook. One day, somebody who had been observing her asked why she cut that part off, noting that it was the part some people love to eat. She laughed and said that was how she saw her mother doing it. The person asked, “You didn’t ask your mother why she cuts it off?” She explained that she didn’t ask but saw her doing it and she too began to do the same. The person went to her mother and asked, “Mama, your daughter said she learnt something from you; that this portion of the chicken should be cut off before cooking, what is the reason?” She too laughed and said, “That is how I saw my mother doing it.” Perhaps if it were possible to continue the enquiry up to the great grandmother the answer would have been the same.

Let people see goodness in you and emulate it. You will be spreading good. Righteous character, edifying words, good manners will be spreading and blessing people. The way you live your life will influence people around you and promote righteousness, Christian love, friendliness, gentleness and it will put smile on people’s faces. People will learn and spread the goodness to others. Be an example to others in your relationship with God and your devotional life. Be an example in faith and in overcoming fear. Elisha’s servant learnt from Elisha. The enemy surrounded them but Elisha was unmoved. Teach your children how to believe God. Teach the church, teach the family, practice it. Be an example in holiness, in a pure heart, in undefiled dressing. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your goodness and glorify your Father in heaven. The Lord bless you, the Lord give grace to you.  Amen.

Thought for the day:  Christian maturity does not come by age but through obedience.
Song for the day:    My life shall be a testimony.
Bible reading for the day:
Proverbs 28-29; 2 Corinthians 7

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...
