TOPIC: ETERNAL LIFE IS ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST April Monday 13th
Text: 1 John 1:1-2
Key verse: 1 John 5:12 He that hath the son hath life; and he that hath not the son of God hath not life.

In today’s reading text, John the beloved was describing Jesus Christ as the Word of life and eternal life. The eternal life that man lost in the garden of Eden was restored through Jesus Christ. Therefore, if you have Jesus you have eternal life and you are guaranteed of living forever with God. Eternal life is different from eternal living. Eternal life is the pleasant side of life or the blessed side of life. Eternal living on the other hand is the horrible and terrible condition of the soul of a sinner in hell. This is the worst state of life where God has no dealing with him and mercy or help is foreclosed forever. Eternal life is only in Jesus Christ and that is what makes Christianity a unique religion. It is not just a religion but it is the right way of life here on the earth. This is because eternal life or everlasting life is the life of God, the life of peace, the life of joy, the life of comfort, the life of satisfaction, the life of glory, the life of contentment and the life of pleasantness. The eternal life that man lost in the garden is restored in Jesus. If you have Jesus, then eternal life is restored to you; and if you are walking with Jesus, it means when you die, you will go to heaven straight away. There you will live forever with God in heaven. 

As you are alive now on earth, at the rapture you will never die, but be taken alive in a transformed body into heaven and will remain alive there forever with God enjoying the bliss of heaven. When the LORD told Adam in the garden that the day he ate of this tree he would die, God was not just referring to physical existence on earth. Rather, the death God was talking about has dual implications. First as for man’s physical body on earth, it shall no longer live forever but shall cease to exist at some point and go into extinction. But as for the soul that God breathed into man, that soul does not die as in ceasing to exist in eternity. But in eternity, there are two kinds of life: one is eternal life for the righteous in heaven and the other is eternal living for the wicked in hell. Your spiritual state at the time of death determines your eternal destiny.

Thought for the day: Eternal life in Jesus Christ makes Christianity a unique religion.
Song for the day: He is alive Amen
Bible reading for the day:
1 Samuel 13-14; Luke 14:1-24

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...
