STUDY THE SCRIPTURES DILIGENTLY TO BE APPROVED OF GOD

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 
TOPIC: STUDY THE SCRIPTURES DILIGENTLY TO BE APPROVED OF GOD    June Monday 22nd
Text: 2 Timothy 2: 15-26
Key verse: 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 

I remember when I was in School of Basic Studies, Zaria, Nigeria in 1984 or 1985. Already, the mind of God was bubbling in me: how to serve God; how to work for God; how to sit down and read the scriptures. I was waiting for the time I would leave the school and be able to have time to really sit down and study the Bible. Eventually, God provided the opportunity but in a most unusual way. There was a time as an Overseer in Deeper Life Bible Church I was placed on discipline for my scriptural stand on the validity of divine revelation, but I accepted it in humility and good faith. It was to last one year and two months. God in His faithfulness turned the evil into good for me as He used that period to create the opportunity I have been longing for, to read and study the Bible. 

God used the occasion to pass me through the Bible thoroughly using the Commentaries of about three different Study Bibles. I went through them spending about 2,407 hours reading the Bible. While I was reading, if I had to use the restroom I would deduct the time I spent in the toilet from my hours of study to ensure that the hours I am recording are all for practical study. I was very committed to the study. I must have prayed for about 1,740 hours within that period. If I dozed off during the prayer, I deducted the minutes I dozed off from my calculation of prayer hours. I studied about 7,001 printed literatures. I had an in-depth study of the Dake’s Annotated Bible beginning from Songs of Solomon all through the Old Testament. Because I wanted to understand the end time events very well, I studied the book of Revelation in-depth using three Study Bibles: Dake’s Annotated Bible, Full Life Study Bible and NIV Life Application Study Bible. I was really trained in the scriptures. I commend you too to be trained in scriptures to be approved of God.

Thought for the day: Study the scriptures diligently to be approved of God 
Song for the day: Lord teach me Your word (2x), I want to know Your word…
Bible reading for the day:
Esther 4-6; Acts 5:17-42

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...
