TOPIC: THE NATURE AND ATTRIBUTES OF GOD April Thursday 16th
Text: 1 Timothy 6:14-16
Key verse: Psalms 90:1-2 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

God is the Lord, the Master, the Ruler of the heavens and the earth, the Master of creation, the final authority in creation, the Lord Almighty. To know God in the true sense, we must accept His self-revelation as contained in the Scripture; otherwise, we will continue to grope in the darkness. The bible gives us four basic descriptions of the nature of God:

i. God is Spirit. John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. God is immaterial and incorporeal. A spirit does not have flesh and bones (Luke 24:39). This is why God is spoken of as being invisible. Yet He is a person with self-consciousness, self-determination, will and intellect.
ii. God is Light. 1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. He dwells in an unapproachable light. God does not just have light, He is light. He is absolutely pure and impossible to defile.
iii. God is Love. 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. Love refers to the very heart of God’s nature. His love is expressed in His grace, mercy, kindness, goodness and benevolence toward all His creations (even those who hate Him – Matthew 5:44-45).
iv. God is a Consuming Fire. Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.  God’s holiness and absolute righteousness is manifested in His judgment against sin.

Thought for the day: Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations
Song for the day: I will praise Thee forever, forever, forever…
Bible reading for the day:
1 Samuel 19-21; Luke 15:11-31

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...
