TOPIC: PRISCILLA’S MENTORSHIP ROLE ON APOLLOS        November Friday 29                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
TEXT: Acts 18:24-28
KEY VERSE: Acts 18: 26  “And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.“
Priscilla and Aquila came across Apollos who knew little or nothing about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Apollos only knew about the baptism of John. Apollos spoke well of Christ but knew little of the truth of the gospel. He was a zealous man but had a deep ignorance in him. Priscilla and Aquila found Apollos as a potential material for the gospel work. Priscilla and Aquila were able to use Apollos in gospel work because he was a humble man. He accepted the true gospel of Jesus Christ after his mentorship in the ministry of Paul.This made Apollos to become a great preacher of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The scriptures above revealed Apollos’ limited knowledge about Christ. He had little or no knowledge of knowing Christ as the Lord and Personal Saviour of Mankind. Moreover, he had little or no knowledge about the Holy Spirit. He spoke and quoted scriptures about Christ but had little knowledge about Him. This means Apollos didn’t know Christ as his Lord and Personal Saviour. Priscilla and Aquila made use of Apollos by mentoring him. They recognized that Apollos could preach but still have deep ignorance in him. From their view, they knew such an inadequacy could lead Apollos to lead others astray from the true gospel teachings of Christ. Similarly, you may know how to preach to attract others, but you still need true mentorship in order to be effective in gospel work.
Priscilla knew the discipline of Paul’s ministry and had known the truth. She followed the pattern of Paul to the letter and knew the sufferings attached to the gospel. Priscilla became a true witness in Paul’s ministry to the extent that she was very committed. Many of the people at that time were new converts in Christ. They never learned or knew the truth of the gospel. But Priscilla was a true disciple of Paul in a world of ignorance. Paul was a practical example of a true minister of God. Priscilla emulated Paul’s example in reaching out to the perishing. She came at a time when other disciples have forsaken Paul. She was one of the students of Paul and learned a lot of profitable truths from him.
Thought for the day: You need true mentorship in order to be effective in gospel work.
Song for the day: See me through, Lord Jesus see me through.....
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 41-42; 2 peter 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...
