TOPIC: DANIEL AS A BIBLICAL EXAMPLE OF EXEMPLARY LIFESTYLE
TEXT: Daniel 1:3-7
KEY VERSE: Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore, he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Ignorant people will say it is impossible for anybody to live a holy life. This sad commentary is even found right in the church. They want to make God a liar who says, BE YE HOLY; FOR I AM HOLY. They make it look as difficult as inventing a space rocket. Yet it is not an impossible task otherwise no believer will go to heaven. All the saints of old in the Bible and also in our own day lived a holy life, they died and entered heaven. Holiness is the gate pass through the gate of heaven. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord. It is the holy living that gives birth to exemplary life. Therefore, we are going to examine bible characters that live exemplary lives and are now in heaven.
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank (Daniel 1:8). Imagine Daniel, a youthful school boy, taking such a firm decision to defy the king’s order because of righteousness. He knew the meal had first been offered as sacrifice to idols, so he rejected it. That is an exemplary lifestyle! His other colleagues, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego also joined him to reject the king’s meal. That again is the power of influence of an exemplary life. Daniel was different. He did not join the crowd. That is what God is looking for in you. Daniel did not allow societal influence to stain his holy life. I want you to know that you must be different to excel in this kingdom race. Others may do it, but you must not. You are a peculiar and special person. I am not my wife and you are not your husband. Heaven is a personal race. If you cannot take your righteousness to this level, I will take mine there and purpose so in my heart. Take your righteousness to that level, then your righteousness will profit others as they become righteous through you. Some of these brothers have not understood the calling that we have received. Show them by your life, then they will understand better. Sister, some of this your women have not understood the way of holy dressing. They are still seeing their Jezebelic dresses as okay. Show them by your exemplary life, the standard Christian dressing. Let them see zeal, meekness, neatness, natural beauty and divine favor in you, then they will know that they have not yet arrived in true Christianity.
Thought for the day: Let your life lead others to righteousness.
Song for the day: Oh Lord, set my life of fire for You, I want to burn for you….
Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 20-22; John 6:45-71

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...
