TOPIC: THE PORTRAIT OF A HOLY CHRISTIAN YOUTH February Tuesday 11th
TEXT: 1 Peter 1:14-16
KEY VERSE: 2Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Holiness of life is a call to every believer, whether young or old. 1Thessalonians 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. That is the example Jesus Christ laid down by His lifestyle for every true believer to emulate and follow. From Bible times till today, many (young and old) have lived a life of holiness in the face of temptations and travails in the world and gone to heaven. So, it is nothing strange or impossible as many think, even as a youth. The youthful Christian brother and sister can avoid peer pressures and live a life that pleases God in this perverse world. But to do this successfully, essential knowledge of the holy life is required, which includes the followings:
i. Holiness Is the Nature of God. He is a triple holy God. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. (Revelation 4:8). Holiness is His nature. Psalm 99:9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy. His holiness makes Him to live from eternity to eternity. If He is not holy, then He is not God.
ii. It Is the Command of God. For a true Christian, living a holy life is not a choice but an uncompromising necessity, for without holiness no man shall see the Lord. Holiness is the proof of your true identity as a child of God. God specifically commands in 1 Peter 1:16, “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
iii. It Is the Provision of God in Christ. Christianity is a calling into a life of holiness, not a life of sinfulness. Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.
iv. It Is the Peak of the Gospel Message Contained in Scripture. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).
v. It Is Practicable. Holiness is not something achievable only by God or angels in heaven. Every believer that ever went to heaven lived a holy life and bible testifies to this.
vi. It Was Demonstrated by Jesus and the Saints in Scripture. Jesus as man, lived without sin (1John 3:5). Bible attests to the holy lives of Noah, Abraham, Job, Lot, Anna, Joseph etc. Paul wrote of the apostles in 1Thessalonians 2:10, “Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe.”
vii. It Is Practiced by Contemporary Faithful Believers. Even in our days, there are still faithful believers living a holy and blameless Christian life, including the youth.
Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.
Thought for the day: It is possible to live a holy and blameless life as a Christian.
Song for the day: I rely, I rely on Thy word, oh Lord…….
Bible reading for the day:
Leviticus 13; Matthew 26:20-54

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...

My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit.

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...
