TOPIC: OFFER YOUR BEST TO GOD IN RETURN FOR HIS GOODNESS
TEXT: Ezekiel 16:8-15
KEY VERSE: Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.

God has always offered you the best in life, so you too ought to give back to Him the best of your life in appreciation.  In the beginning, God created you in a special way, fearfully and wonderfully in His own very image. He made you a replica of Himself, even though you are a lower being. That is great and wonderful indeed. Adam and Eve, our progenitors, messed up and corrupted their beings thereby making themselves liable to death and eternal damnation. God did not abandon them to their fate. He came to their rescue by instituting a redemption plan through Jesus (John 3:16). God has always been there for you, offering you the best of life even when you don't deserve it. In today’s reading text, we see a metaphor of God’s rescue plan and display of love for sinful Israel. The ornaments of gold and silver mentioned in this passage are not physical objects but symbols of God’s loving care and protection.

Ezekiel 16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was. In this text, God is opening a charge of infidelity against you, as He did against Israel, who repaid Him evil for the all His goodness. What offence has God committed that He deserves such treatment from you? He could have killed you as a sinner, but He purposely extends your days on earth, so that He may show the bountifulness of His love and mercy, giving you more grace to repent. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. You colluded with Satan to contend against God and to oppose His kingdom on earth, but He is not discouraged. He is still stretching out His hand of fellowship asking you to repent and return to Him. Now, why don’t you live to please God. It is not as if God needs you to exist; rather, it is you that needs God to live. God is not the beneficiary of your righteousness, you are!

Thought for the day: Your righteousness is for you own good, not God’s benefit.  (Job 22:2-3).
Song for the day: Create in me a clean heart o Lord, and renew a right spirit within me
Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 23-25; John 16:16-33

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...
