TOPIC: GOD IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE GIFT OF SINNERS
TEXT: Acts 8:18-23
KEY VERSE: Deuteronomy 23:18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God. 

There are ministers who are more concerned for the gift presented than the state of the giver. These ones receive all gifts without questioning and bless every giver without considering their state in the sight of God. Matthew 5:23-24, “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” This scripture reveals that God is more concerned with the state of the giver than the gift presented by him. God is more concerned for your righteousness than your sacrifice and service. In the reading text for today, Apostle Peter rebuked Simon the sorcerer who in bond of iniquity offered money to him. His heart was not right with God.

The sinner has no portion in God’s holy service. The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is not a business investment opportunity for sinners to give and make quick riches. All who give in sin have no reward from God. Many preachers work in opposite direction to God. They are more interested in the money and material gifts of the people than in their righteousness. These preachers do not profit the people at all. Jeremiah 6:13-14, “For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.” These are not ministers of truth and righteousness, but of their own belly. Peter firmly declared to Simon the sorcerer that he was sinful and wicked. Giving money earned in sin to God is equally wickedness and will attract the judgment of God. Repentance from sin, evil works and professions is required of the sinner. God is holy, to give to Him acceptably you must first give yourself to Him in purity of heart, clothing and adornment. It is only by doing this that you and your material resources belong to Him and your gifts can be precious in His sight.

Thought for the day: Offer yourself first before bringing your gift to God.
Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of believers, Lord I want to be Holy, Lord I want……
Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 17-18; Luke 15:1-10

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...
