TOPIC: EMULATE MARY’S HUMBLE DISPOSITION May Tuesday 12th
Text: Luke 1:39-45
Key verse: Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Mary believed in God’s promises with humility and without any doubt. Never raise up your shoulder in pride when you ascend to any leadership position. Be humble and do not be proud to others or those under your leadership. Stop exercising your leadership in boast. For instance, it is unholy to speak boastfully like, “Do you not know that I am the Coordinator or Pastor’s wife?” May the same godly quality of humility in Mary come upon you regardless of your status or leadership position in the Church in Jesus’ Name. May the brokenness of Mary possess your life as a child or daughter of God in Jesus’ Name. The gift and calling of God should not make you to become proud and bossy. You need humility because Jesus admonished His disciples in Matthew 20:27, “And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.” Paul also wrote in Philippians 2:5-7 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. Jesus took upon Himself the role of a servant. That is the humble godly quality of Mary.
The LORD lifts up those that humble themselves before Him. If you are conscious of the pride of this sinful world you will never reach the place God is taking you to. Mary’s humble godly quality did not let her abuse those under her leadership. She was broken in spirit. In other words, she was very humble in character as God expects us to be. A typical example was that Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem where no hotels were found. She submitted herself in humility to Joseph and gave birth to Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the sinful world in the habitation of animals. She wrapped her Son in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger. She gave birth in a humble place. But today people are too proud to be used by God. They are looking for honour. Let this not be your Christian lifestyle for it is unprofitable.
Thought for the day: Emulate Mary who believed in God’s promises with humility and without any doubt.
Song for the day: There is no one, there is no one like Jesus
Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 4-5; John 4:1-30

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...
