TOPIC: YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD IN SIN AND EXCEL
TEXT: Luke 13:25-27
KEY VERSE: Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

It is a contradiction to expect to serve a holy God in sin. Unfortunately, this is what obtains in most churches today. The Lord told the Laodicean Church, “buy from Me white raiment that you may be clothed so that your nakedness should not appear.” What is that white dress without defilement? It is righteousness. The Lord is saying you must be clothed in righteousness. When the prodigal son came back home, what did the father say? He said, “remove the rag that is on him and cloth him.” Remove that rag of filth and dirt on him and cloth him with righteousness. The Laodiceans were doing their Christianity without righteousness. Drunkards were pastors among them; witches and wizards were pastors among them; elders took alcohol early in the morning to stand on the pulpit. Many terrible things were going on there and there was no righteousness for they were not born again. God was telling them “You cannot serve Me in filth and uncleanliness. Come to Me and receive genuine salvation, that your nakedness may be covered and your shame taken away.”

Why shame? When pastors and General Overseers commit immorality and sacrifice human beings for power, is it not a shameful thing? When people get to hear about this thing, is it not a shameful thing even to the pastors themselves? The Lord also counselled, “and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve that thou mayest see.” The Lord is urging them to get real scriptural insight; to get spiritual insight; to get the revelation of the word so that they can see because the Bible says the carnal mind cannot discern the things of God. He cannot because they are spiritually discerned. If a carnal man graduates in the Theological College, what will he be teaching? Can he preach message of salvation? Can he give what he doesn’t have? Since he is not born again, he cannot understand the spiritual meaning of the word. Brother, sister, you must take your righteousness beyond the level of just going to church and being counted among “he was also there.” Christianity is more than going to church. Rewardable service is serving in righteousness, not in sin. You cannot serve a holy God in sin like Judas and expect to be rewarded. Let your righteousness surpass that of the Pharisees.

Thought for the day: God desires clean vessels in His service.
Song for the day: Purify my heart, let it be as gold, precious silver, purify my heart……
Bible reading for the day:
Deuteronomy 17-19; Mark 14:1-25

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...
