TOPIC: GET RID OF COVETOUSNESS                           
NOVEMBER Thursday 8th
TEXT: 2 Kings 5: 20-27
KEY VERSE: He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. Ecclesiastes 5: 10
Covetousness is the desire to accumulate wealth and material resources for one’s personal pleasure and pride. The covetous man wants every good thing he sees to become his own. He has a strong inner wish to claim the good materials and property that others possess. He actually loves money. He has undue love for material things. He wishes to possess every beautiful material thing his eye sees. He wishes every beautiful woman for himself. He wishes every handsome and great man for herself). No amount of material things possessed by him can satisfy him. He is always looking for more.
The covetous person is restless and peaceless, because of the strong drive in him for ore. This was the spirit of King Solomon that made him to marry seven hundred wives and kept three hundred concubines. The covetous man is wicked because in his drive for accumulation he deprives others. He is a waster because he does not really use the things he accumulates through covetousness. Covetousness is a plague because it makes the victim restless. As covetousness brought leprosy to Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, so also it brings spiritual leprosy to many people in the house of God.
Jesus solemnly warns against covetous practices. “And he said unto them, Take heed and beware of covetousness: For a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth”, Luke 12: 15.  Be content with your wages. Do not spend your strength pursuing the material world of vanity. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, by supporting true preachers and churches to promote Christ and spread His salvation among men in the world. The love of money and material things is the reason for many sins and wicked activities in the world, in the church and in the Christian ministry. Tell God to save your soul and deliver you from covetousness, which is idolatry. Tell Him to give you the grace to serve Him in righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and humility.
Thought for the day: Examine the way you make money and ensure it is in holiness
Song for the day: Something more than gold, something more than silver...
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 49-50; Hebrews 5

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...
