TOPIC: ZEAL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE IS UNPROFITABLE TO THE SOUL
TEXT: Acts 10:1-6
KEY VERSE: Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

In today’s devotional text, we understand that Cornelius was a devout, generous and prayerful man, who feared God with all his household, yet he was ignorant of what he needed to do to get his name into the Book of Life and save himself and his family from eternal damnation. Although he was committed to the worship of God, Cornelius’ understanding of God’s requirement for salvation from sin and gaining eternal life was very shallow and based on observance of the Old Testament laws. He was not aware that justification was no more by law, but by faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:20-22). God saw the sincerity of Cornelius and showed him grace by sending an angel to him to instruct him on what he needed to do to be saved (Acts 11:13,14). He obeyed and sent for Peter 35 miles away to hear the instruction of life for the salvation of his soul and that of his household. Had Cornelius not obeyed the revelation message and instruction of divine mercy sent to him, he would have perished with his household despite his alms giving, prayers, fasting and commitment to God’s worship, because he was a committed but ignorant worshipper!

Isaiah 55:7, 8; Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

If you do not want to perish, you must seek for the total truth of the gospel that will save your soul from condemnation. Go for the total gospel TRUTH, embrace it, live by it, and practice it. Discover the doctrine of salvation, sanctification, baptism with the Holy Spirit, Christian marriage, tithes and offering, restitution, Christian dressing, holiness, etc. Make necessary changes in your life, in your family and in your church, if you are a pastor. Are you in illegal possession of someone else’s property? Restore such to the rightful owner. Are you a second wife or in a “divorce and remarriage” situation? Repent and withdraw from such ungodly relationship. Are you living in willful sin? Repent, forsake such sins and turn to God.

Thought for the day: Make right your wrongs for the sake of heaven.
Song for the day: Years I spent in vanity and pride
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 9-10; Matthew 18:1-20

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...
