TOPIC: GOING TO HEAVEN IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS
SEPTEMBER Thursday 20th

TEXT: Luke 13:23-24
KEY VERSE: So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Matthew 20: 16

The error most people make is that they have trivialized Christianity and hardly see it as a serious business. This is particular so among Christians who believe that the grace of God has accomplished all that needs to be done and all you need to do is just to confess the Name of Jesus and go back to your normal way of life. This is the grand-deception of Satan to make people become complacent and live carelessly to the jeopardy of their salvation. Satan knows what it takes to miss heaven but many Christians don’t know. They know the truth about God but not all the truth that can save them. Satan capitalizes on their ignorance and half-knowledge. They are in the church but out of the way of eternal life. They are zealous for the work of God but their names are not in the Book of Life. Romans 10:1-2, “Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.” Zeal without knowledge is like movement without motion – spiritual poverty and stagnation.

The challenge in Christianity is not to be saved, but to remain saved. To be saved, you don’t need to ascend into heaven to bring Jesus down or descend into the deep to raise Him up. Bible says salvation is very near you for, “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” Romans 10:9. It is as simple as that, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” The real challenge is preserving your salvation. Many have, through sin and the abuse of grace, shipwrecked their salvation. Even in Holiness Revival Movement, many have been snatched by the Devil. Revelation bearers that have enjoyed exceptional grace of beholding the glory of God in heaven and witnessing the horror of hell, whose testimonies have changed many lives and taken some to heaven, have themselves lost their crown to Satan. Never take your salvation for granted for it is not over until it is all over. The road of eternal life is a hard and tortuous one, continue to strive for it and endure to the end.

Thought for the day: Starting the journey is not as important as ending at the destination
Song for the day: The Lord knows the way through the wilderness, All I have to do is to follow
Bible reading for the day:
Ecclesiastes 10-12; 2 Corinthians 11:16-33. #Horemow.

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...
