TOPIC: ABRAHAM, THE FATHER OF FAITH  
TEXT: GENESIS 12:1-3
Key verse:  Galatians 3:9  So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 

From our reading text you can see that the Lord chose Abraham. I am tracing the origin of Christianity. The Lord chose Abraham, who was barren and had no children. The Lord said, [paraphrase], “Don’t worry about your wife, I am bringing you up to be a great nation, the mighty shall come of you. Now through you shall be born one, who will be a blessing to all the people in the world.” God made a promise to Abraham, “Jesus will be coming through you, which is the seed I promise in the garden. I told the devil in the garden he is coming to destroy him and free mankind from him. I will pass that child through you.”  Now, you can see that Christianity started in the garden. It was following a lineage which was gradually unfolding. When God promised Abraham, I am going to give you a seed and by that seed multitude shall come to the world, Ishmael was already born.
         
There are many religions on the earth created by men in an attempt to reach out to God. Christianity has been existing side by side with these other religions. In a family, there could a mix of Muslim and Christian faith. There could also be people of other religions including the traditional religions and all of them will be saying, “We are serving the same God.” It is my responsibility as a preacher of Christ, sent to preach the gospel of salvation, the gospel of righteousness and eternal life, to tell you the truth and the difference. Christianity is distinct from all other religions. Unlike other religions, it started by a promise God made to the devil, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed, it shall bruise thin head and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15. This is where Christianity started from, at the very beginning, even between Adam and his wife Eve; the promise that there shall be Christianity.

Thought for the day: If you walk by faith you will enjoy the peace of God.
Song for the day: Faith of our fathers living still
Bible reading for the day:  2 Kings 9-11; John 5:1-24

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...
