TOPIC: MY MEMBERSHIP AND MINISTRY IN DEEPER LIFE BIBLE CHURCH  Thursday October 10
TEXT: 2 Corinthians 4: 1, 2
KEY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 4: 1 “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.”
I became a member of Deeper Life Bible Church in 1983 when I was twenty one years old having just completed my secondary education. I got restored to faith, having been born again sometimes in 1977. In Deeper Life I learnt much about God and His holiness and got sanctified and baptized with the Holy Spirit. I was zealous and committed to God and to righteous living. I hungered and thirsted after God and His fullness and desire to serve Him in full time capacity, except for my academic pursuit. For the period of twenty six years I had the grace to serve the Lord from the lowest to the highest one under the leadership of the General Superintendent. I served as: a House Leader, Zonal Leader, Location Pastor, District Coordinator, Campus General Coordinator, Regional Overseer, State Overseer and National Overseer. My ministerial Service in Deeper Life was from 1983 to 2009.
I served as a Pastor in five different states in Nigeria and one other Country besides Nigeria. In my twenty six years of Christian Ministry within the Deeper Life, my conscience bears me witness I was righteous and holy both in life and ministry. I was never at any time found in sin both in private and in secret. None of the members and workers of the churches I pastured, man or woman, for the twenty six years in Deeper Life, can rightly accuse me of sin against God, in private or public. I worked among Pastors and overseers. I speak with the same confidence that none of them can rightly say, “Pastor Paul Rika is not a minister of righteousness”. This is the lifestyle I continue in to this day of writing as one who has found favour to be the International Director of Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide after about nine years of leaving Deeper Life Bible Church by the will of God.
Now, I have brought all these to you to say, “I Pastor Paul Rika, have kept myself and family in God’s love and purity, being confident in this that no man on earth can truly give account of sin and rebellion against God and against the Holy Scripture in my life. I am very confident that nobody anywhere can rise up and truly and say that Pastor Rika did evil or that I found him committing sin.
Thought for the day: It pays to serve Jesus
Song for the day: Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning
Bible reading for the day:
Isaiah 43-44; Colossians 2

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
