TOPIC: IDOLIZING MARY IS A GRAVE SIN                             April Tuesday 14th
Text: Luke 1:26-38
Key Verse: Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

The fact that angel Gabriel saluted Mary as blessed among women has made many to ascribe adoration, honour and worship to her. However, this erroneous practice by misguided people should not take away the wonderful virtues that believers can observe in her life. Although our primary attention is unto the Lord Jesus which actually matters, we should also know that there are things to learn from the saints of the Bible.

Mary who was the mother of Jesus Christ was a saint, and not a sinner. She was godly, righteous, pure and holy. But sadly, she has often been misunderstood as a goddess. Many people still find it difficult to understand the personality of Mary and have therefore idolized her as a goddess. This misperception has led many to believe in worshipping her on a daily basis with the understanding that they will receive answers to their prayers. From the scriptural examination above, we have seen how Mary found favour with God the Father, to be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind. This favour has often been misinterpreted by some sects who call her mother of God. Jesus Christ has a dual personality being both God and Man. Mary was only the mother of Jesus Christ after the flesh (as Man), not as God. God cannot have a mother!

The heathen idol worshippers that worship the female gods have demonically taken it farther by turning Mary into a female goddess thereby forgetting the main object of worship, Jesus Christ. They worship her as the mother of God. These worshippers are doing so after the spirit of paganism and their action is equivalent to committing idolatry (Exodus 20:1-5).  They do this in ignorance to the detriment and damnation of their souls in hell.

Thought for the day: Those who worship Mary are into idolatry.
Song for the day: Jesus only is our message
Bible reading for the day:
1 Samuel 15-16; Luke 14:23-35

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...
