TOPIC: PRISCILLA’S SACRIFICE TO THE GOSPEL WORK         October Friday 18th
TEXT: Romans 16: 3-4
KEY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 16:19 “The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.”
She listened to Paul and did what he instructed her to do. The holy scripture of God shows how Priscilla sacrificed her house for the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in order to reach out to others. There is a blessed reward when you obey and humble yourself to true and genuine ministers of the gospel. Priscilla understood this secret of the gospel without pretending as the Pharisees. The Pharisees build the graves of the prophets and painted them white as a way to show respect but inwardly practice deceit. They claimed that if it were their days they wouldn’t have killed the prophets of Israel as did their fathers. In other words, they would have treated the prophets nicely and with respect. By character, Pharisees are usually self-righteous people with pretending behaviours. Jesus examined their hearts and pronounced woe to them. The Pharisees on several accusations attempted to kill Jesus, the greatest of all prophets. Nonetheless, Aquila and Priscilla still remain perfect examples of obedient children of God. They demonstrated humility and supported the work of God as commended by the Apostle Paul.
Paul on behalf of Priscilla and Aquila extended a special salutation to the church of Corinth in an expression of the friendly role the two spouses played by accommodating the church in their house for the salvation of souls. Paul counted Priscilla and Aquila as worthy, righteous and faithful spouses in their service to the gospel work. He counted them worthy by mentioning their names in the Book of eternity, the Bible. Priscilla and Aquila were co-workers with Paul in the propagation of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul expressed his gratitude of Priscilla and Aquila’s commitment to the gospel work. Several scripture references show that Priscilla’s name appeared first in Paul’s letters due to her total commitment to the gospel work. At one time, Priscilla and Aquila accompanied Paul to Ephesus for gospel work.  They were well mentored by Paul, the apostle.
Thought for the day: There is a blessed reward when you obey and humble yourself to true and genuine ministers of the gospel.
Song for the day: Lord You are so good, Lord You are kind.....
Bible reading for the day:
Isaiah 65-66; 2 Thessalonians 1

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...
