TOPIC: ABSENCE OF DANCING IN THE MINISTRY OF JESUS                November Tuesday 26th
TEXT: Luke 4: 16-22
KEY VERSE: Hebrews 7:26 “For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;”
When we observe praise, thanksgiving and worship of God in the ministry of Jesus Christ, we notice the absence of dancing in the ministry of Jesus. This can be seen in the following
(i) Praise and thanksgiving given by recipients of miracles to God in the ministry of Jesus.
(ii) Praise and thanksgiving observers of Christ's wonderful works gave to God in heaven.
(iii) Thanksgiving and worship recipients of miracles gave to the Lord Jesus Christ.
(iv) The worship Christ's disciples gave to Him as the Son of God.
(v) The worship service Jesus had with His disciples where they sung a hymn.
(vi) Praises and worship the angels gave to God after the shepherds had been told of the birth of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
(vii) Praise and thanksgiving Jesus gave to God the Father when He was on earth.
We see in all these accounts that dancing was absent. The present dancing in praise and worship seen on crusade grounds, church worship services and Christian gatherings have no root in Jesus ministry. Was God glorified in the praises and worship offered to Him under the ministry of Jesus? Certainly. Can any minister bring more glory to God through praise and worship in his ministry than that which God received when Jesus Christ was a Minister on earth? If the congreg
ations were never led into or occupied with dancing under the ministry of Jesus, why should any minister today think that God highly esteems dancing practiced by the congregation of His worshippers? This is last days' delusion and a corruption of true praise and worship of the holy God. Nothing but repentance is required of this dancing ministers and churches that have turned the worship of God into occasion of fleshly gratification. The church must return to true worship, in spirit and truth, giving no glory to the flesh. Holy worship of the Holy God is impossible in a dancing church!
Some misinterpret the parable of the prodigal son to mean that Jesus approves of dancing in churches! The music and dancing was not in praise and worship of God by a congregation of worshippers. This activity was a secular setting. Jesus employed this story to teach great gospel truths. Music and dancing is not His recommendation to the church for praise and worship by this story. All through the ministry of Christ, in public or private, the audience did not engage in dancing, despite many occasions of joy and praise to God.
Thought for the day: All through the ministry of Christ there was no dancing
Song for the day: Worthy, You are worthy, King of kings, Lord of lords....
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 36-37; 1 Peter 3

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...
