DON’T JUDGE A MATTER BASED ON ONE-SIDED REPORT – Part 2

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

TOPIC: DON’T JUDGE A MATTER BASED ON ONE-SIDED REPORT – Part 2        September Wednesday 2nd

TEXT: Genesis 39:7-20

KEY VERSE: Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. 


In today’s reading text, we see how Joseph was lied against and unjustifiably punished for an offence he did not commit, just because his master only heard one side of the story. Learn this wisdom that when you hear a matter you will control yourself because you have not really heard the full detail. It is the other side of the mater that will reveal the full picture and give you a perfect understanding of the matter, because the sword is double-edged. You have seen with one edge; you also need to see the other. 


In this way, you know within yourself that all you are hearing, all the person is saying to you with all seriousness, persuasion and conviction is only 50% of the matter and you cannot take decision on 50% until you hear the other 50%. It is only then you will be able to know clearly where the fault is; you will then know who to blame and who to exonerate from blame. In most cases, doctors will not give treatment until they have run a test. This is to enable them identify with certainty the cause of ailment. That is why you should learn this and protect yourself.


If you don’t control yourself, you will speak like David. Nathan came to David and narrated a story to him. He said, there was a man that had only one sheep and this sheep was like a daughter to him. He loved the sheep so much that they slept together and ate together. Now, there was a man that had a large flock and when he had a visitor, he went and picked the only sheep owned by this man and killed it to serve his guest. 


Before the prophet finished speaking, David was so angry that he gave double judgment and the two judgments were wrong! First, he said, the man that has done this thing must die as surely as he lived. Second, he said the man must pay fourfold. When the man has died how will he pay fourfold? He spoke that way because he was too emotional. Don’t get that emotional when your brother or sister comes and begins to narrate his/her own side of the story. Don’t start cursing and judging the people wrongly thereby getting your name removed from the book of life. 


Thought for the day: Diligently inquire into matters to know the whole truth before judging.

Song for the day: Who has the final say……

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 1-2; 1 Corinthians 12

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...
