TOPIC: THE FIRST RESURRECTION                                                
May  Saturday 30th
Text: Daniel 12:1-5 
Key verse: Revelation 20: 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The first resurrection is termed the resurrection to life eternal while the second resurrection is termed the resurrection to eternal damnation. The first resurrection is in five stages: (i) The resurrection of Christ the first fruit of the resurrection ii) The resurrection of the Church age saints (iii) The resurrection of the two witnesses (iv) The resurrection of the tribulation saints (v) The resurrection of the Old Testament saints. The first resurrection is made up of five different phases, but the second resurrection is just one resurrection.
The first stage of the first resurrection began with the resurrection of Christ. It shall be followed by the resurrection of the church age saints who believed in Christ and died as righteous people. Therefore, the resurrection of the believers in Christ at the Rapture is the second stage of the first resurrection. The third stage of the first resurrection is the resurrection of the two witnesses at the end of the great tribulation. The two witnesses will resurrect, and a voice from heaven will say, “Come up hither” (Revelation 11:12). Then they will ascend into heaven in a wonderful and glorious manner while their enemies behold.
The fourth stage of the first resurrection is the resurrection of the Tribulation saints. At the end of the tribulation, these tribulation saints shall resurrect and meet with Jesus in heaven and shall return with Him at His second coming physically to the earth. The fifth stage of the first resurrection concerns the Old Testament saints, who died before Jesus was born into the world. Their souls are in heaven. They shall resurrect and come back with Jesus to the earth, because God would have concluded His program of the 70th week, which is the seven years of the Great Tribulation. With the resurrection of the Old Testament saints, Jesus will continue His program with Israel to rule as the son of David over the kingdom of David.
Thought for the day: God’s end time plans are definite, clear and systematic.
Song for the day: Jesus shall reign for ever more, He shall reign for ever more
Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 28-29; John 11:47-57

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...
