TOPIC: COMMITMENT TO CHRISTIAN LEADERS 
TEXT: Colossians 3:22-25
KEY VERSE: Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

The whole body operates under the leadership of the head. When we travel together in a bus, there must be a driver. There must be obedience in Christian life to Christian leaders in small and great things and in simple and difficult things. Do not challenge the authority of your leader for God has made him a pastor over you. If you say he is not fit to be your leader, then you too are not fit to be his sheep. As Jesus said, if I don't wash your feet then you are not part of me. 

1.      Do as the Lord has directed. Matthew 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. If people can obey authority in secular life how much more in the church? 
2.      Grant them the full right over your soul. Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you. Your leader should know about every aspect of your life, even your business and travels. Don't say it doesn't concern him. It is his duty to watch over you, so submit to his scrutiny. 
3.      Accounting to them as to those that will account to God. Did you fall? Don’t keep it to yourself. Account to them for they watch over your soul. 
4.      Serve faithfully and satisfactorily for their joy. Serve them so faithfully that they will be joyful to God for your commitment, availability and dedication to duty. 
5.      Avoid being a grief unto them. Don't upset them. If it happens that at the time you are needed you are not always available, you have become a grief them. If anytime you are given assignment you do it shoddily, you are a grief. If you are always causing division and sowing seed of discord among the brethren, you are a grief. 
6.      Serve under them profitably. If you serve well you too will gain wisdom, knowledge and skill as Timothy learned from Paul. 

May the Lord grant you all grace for acceptable service in his house. 

Thought for the day: Let service to your leaders honour Jesus.
Song for the day: Jesus must be honoured in my life everyday
Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 3-5; John 8:1-20

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...
