For taking your time to study remain blessed

TOPIC: BE STRONG IN FAITH

TEXT: James 1:2-4

KEY VERSE: 2Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory

Challenges are there and many have been removed by it. Having been to school, you know the processes involved in education. There are examinations you take at every level to move up in school.  At primary level you sit for examinations to move from the first class to the next and so on until you finish that level of education. After that, you sit for a major exam to move to the secondary level and the same process continues until you complete your education at the tertiary level. In between, you have to continue to sit for tests and exams to move from grade to grade and from level to level. Students that fail their exams don’t move up, they remain in their class while others move up. If they continue to fail, they may even be advised to leave the school.

Many people do not know that God also examines people. I once had a problem in my throat. I had a discomforting irritation in my throat that made me to cough constantly. I prayed and people prayed for me. I took medication and did everything humanly possible but there was no relief. In the night, I found it difficult to sleep. Sometimes, I would be licking sweet in my mouth while preaching because I wanted saliva to soothe the place to prevent coughing during my preaching. I would be struggling as I preached so that my audience would not notice that I was licking something.

We continued to pray. One day, my wife cried to the Lord, “God, what is wrong, can’t you heal Your servant?” The Lord answered, “I am happy Satan brought that thing to him to see whether he will continue with my preaching. I allowed him to suffer it and as he was preaching and suffering it, I was so happy and said to Satan, “Can you see? He loves me. Whether sick or not sick he will do it; so don’t say he is doing it because I keep him healthy. In every condition he will do it.”

Once I passed the exam, God removed the throat problem. Hallelujah! I give this illustration because many people don’t know that God purposely allows Satan to try them. You have been complaining, “I don’t know what I did; they are just accusing me.” God allowed the accusation to see how you will behave. Are you really qualified for this level and ready to be graduated to the next? If you are, then Satan has lost that battle over you.
Thought for the day: Your faith must be tested to prove its genuineness.
Song for the day:   I know He loves me better, what so ever may be, I will follow Him.
Bible reading for the day: Song of Solomon 4-5; 2 Corinthians 13

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...
