TOPIC: THE HISTORY OF HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT (PART 3)  Thursday October 31
TEXT: Revelation 2: 8-11
KEY VERSE: Renelation 2:8 “And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;”
When they asked me why I published that book, I told them, the Lord Jesus came to the Easter Retreat of Deeper Life Bible Church Takum, Taraba State with two of His angels in a divine revelation and took Michael Sambo in a death experience to heaven and to hell and gave him message to humanity. But I noticed that the members of the Deeper Life were afraid to hear him because of the uncertain reaction of the General Superintendent (GS). Being fully informed about the incidence and convinced about the divinity of the message, I contacted some relevant overseers to take Michael Sambo to the GS so that he too can hear and verify the incident, but they were afraid. Hence, I decided to bring  him to you just because we are from the same place. The GS showed scepticism over the matter.
My wife and I agreed to give God a sum of money as a seed of faith; the Lord led me to use the money to make photocopy of the manuscript of the book for free distribution. And He further led me to publish this book. When I objected due to fear of church authority, He told me to go ahead that He would be with me. That was why I published the book. The book is doing a lot: converting souls, restoring backsliders and turning churches to Biblical truth righteousness and holiness. I am sure I was addressing above forty overseers, most of whom were my seniors in the faith and Christian service. They asked further, can God ask you to publish that book without telling the GS about it? I was amazed by that question. I answered, ‘’ We are all ministers of God seated here and have the Holy Spirit and the word of God before us, I want to ask this question; is it true that God cannot use us to do something for Him except He tells the GS about it?”
This led to an uproar. Some looked at me as being stubborn while others thought differently. The next day I was conducted to the GS who addressed me as follows: “ I thought when I allowed you to stand before your colleagues, you would fall down, crying and pleading for mercy, asking for opportunity to be given you to go round the bookshops and where ever the books are to gather them and burn them. But I am seeing that you are still standing on your conviction saying that you would obey God rather than man. That was used for unbelieving Sanhedrin. Would you quote that scripture to me in this matter?
Thought for the day: The book is doing a lot: converting souls, restoring backsliders and turning churches to Biblical truth righteousness and holiness.
Song for the day: Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised......
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 29-30; Titus 1

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...
