TOPIC: GET RID OF WORLDLINESS     
DECEMBER Sunday 2nd
TEXT: 1 John 2: 12-17
KEY VERSE: Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2: 15
Worldliness refers to the lifestyles and activities of sinful men living in this world which are invented, inspired and promoted by Satan, the god of this world, which are contrary to the word, way and will of God, and which defile, corrupt and damn human souls in hell fire. Worldliness is living according to the dictates of the world. It is pure carnality. These include the following:
1. The love of money: Many people make money their god. It is their reason for living. They do many evil things to get money. They disregard God’s commands and righteous demands because of the drive for money in them.
2. The love of pleasure: sinful activities give corrupt people pleasure, such as: alcohol; sex; smoking; dancing; wickedness; worldly parties; etc. The pleasures they give are transient and temporary. Many suffer untimely death because of seeking worldly pleasures and entertainments.
3. Ungodly dressing and adornment: Many sinners in the world do not submit to decent dressing. They dress in such a way that will entice others and promote sin. They seek to achieve bodily beauty, attraction and commendation. They use articles of bodily beauty such as perfume, earrings, chains, necklace, rings, bracelets, beads, artificial hair, cosmetics, etc.
4. Search for power through witchcraft and Satanism: Many people want to display power and authority among their fellow men. Maybe they want to be feared and honoured. Some want to acquire wealth, political position or promotion.
Never seek help, prayer, healing, deliverance or blessing from witch doctors or demonized preachers. You will become defiled, unholy and unfit for heaven.
Thought for the day: Determine to live the righteous life required for heaven.
Song for the day: I have decided to follow Jesus
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 47-48; 1 John 1

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...
