TOPIC: DILIGENT HOLINESS OF HEAVEN-BOUND WIDOW
TEXT: 2 Kings 4:1-7
KEY VERSE: James 1:27, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

We see them all around us but we scarcely know what they are passing through. Jesus who says I am a husband to the widow understands better. God gives them special attention. Widows who suffer beyond measure do so because they have not known His way. The circumstance of life has put them under pressure and many of them miss heaven in the process. God wants to open your eyes and teach you truth about widowhood. He knows the way through the widowhood. He knows how to bring you out of the wilderness of widowhood. 

In our reading text, we see the burden of the widow in a practical way. Apart from losing her husband she had to raise up her children alone. Compounding her misery were the creditors who would not show mercy to her. Sometimes, the harassment of the widow is from her in-laws who want to take undue advantage of her or deny her the inheritance from her husband. It is really a hard state for the widow. Except God stands by a widow, how can she survive widowhood? How can she avoid compromise and make heaven? That is why God is giving them attention and also instructs his children to do the same. The Bible says in James 1:27, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

God recognizes the need of the widow for help. Your visit to a widow should not be to make a sport of her or to mock her, but to comfort her and show her love. This is what God has promised the widow in Isaiah 54:4-5, “Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.” Dear widow, your Maker is your husband, therefore, let your heart be comforted and peaceful; Do not be troubled.  For the sake of heaven, remain steadfast in faith.

Thought for the day: Widow! Be comforted for the Lord is your Husband and Defender.
Song for the day:  Who can battle with the Lord (x3), I say nobody
Bible reading for the day: Judges 18-19; Luke 10:25-42

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...
