OPIC: YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE
SEPTEMBER Friday 28th

TEXT: Genesis 22:1-13
KEY VERSE: Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 2 Peter 3: 14

Men are often full of excuses to avoid responsibility, even when God is involved. Moses came up with lots of excuses and even suggested that God should appoint another person in his place. Jonah ran away from the assignment he was given; but not so with father Abraham. When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, he had enough reasons not to do so but he obeyed.
1. An Only Son. God emphasized to him, “It is your only son.” This is the only son Abraham bore after 25 years of marriage and it was in old age. It was a miracle birth because Sarah, his wife, was already past child-bearing age. To sacrifice Isaac meant he might never have an heir through his legal marriage. It also meant the promise of God to bless his future generations would never come to pass. Yet this did not deter him from obeying God.
2. The Son He Loved. Again, God reminded him of the deep love he had for his son. It was a type of God’s sacrifice of his begotten Son that would take place centuries later.  Isaac was practically all Abraham had left to live for in this world, yet God requested for his life. What a great trial of faith!
3. Three Days Journey. The journey took three days into the wilderness. God must have given enough time for Abraham to change his mind. An unwilling Abraham could have changed his mind several times over within the 4,300 minutes he had to meditate over the matter.
4. Sarah Factor.  If Abraham had told Sarah about it, she might have objected. The love of mother for child would probably not have allowed her to consent. Abraham knew this and kept the information away from her. He did not want any discouragement or distraction. He was determined to obey God no matter the cost.

In all these, Abraham did not waver in faith. He remained obedient and valued his relationship with God above everything else in the world. Are you ready to obey God and serve Him wholeheartedly and diligently under God-ordained leaders without looking for excuses?

Thought for the day: No excuse is good enough to disobey God or His ordained leaders
Song for the day: I am ready to obey your word (2x) I am ready to obey, the living word of God
Bible reading for the day:
Isaiah 13-15; Galatians 6

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...
