TOPIC: TIMOTHY’S LOYALTY WAS UNQUESTIONABLE May Tuesday 19th
Text: Philippians 2:19-24
Key verse: Philippians 2:22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
God Himself was the one that called Timothy and brought him to Christ and to the Christian ministry. Paul was speaking how he laid hands on Timothy, urging him to stir up the gift that was in him that he may do the work. There is something commendable about Timothy’s loyalty and submission to Paul. Timothy was not self-seeking. He was not looking for his own glory. He was not looking for a name. He was not proud. Pride in particular is the problem of young men. They want to be known.
I was discussing with a particular youth who was full of ambition. I told him that I started the Christian ministry when he was probably two years old. It took several years for me to get to where I am now, receiving invitation here and there for ministration. But you came yesterday and you want to grow like banana? Who climbs on banana? Does anybody climb on banana stem? If not banana, which other tree would you plant now and it will grow so fast? Is there any other tree? It will take time to grow.
Why then are you so full of haste? Did the Lord tell you that you are dying tomorrow? Is that why you are in so much haste? Even if the Lord told you so, He is the one to do it, not you. So, why are you so hasty? Why are you so full of yourself? Why are you seeking your name, seeking your glory? Why don’t you behave like Timothy? The Lord brought him to Paul and Timothy submitted himself to Paul up to the end of Paul’s ministry. He was a minister. Not a minister for himself, not a minister for his own glory.
Thought for the day: Timothy was not self-seeking. Learn from him.
Song for the day: Be lifted higher (2x) O Lord be lifted high…
Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 23-25; John 7:1-31

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...
