GIVE AN ACCUSED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND HIMSELF – Part 2

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

TOPIC: GIVE AN ACCUSED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND HIMSELF – Part 2   September Thursday 10th

TEXT:  Acts 25:4-5

KEY VERSE: Acts 26:1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself: 


As much as possible, one should listen to both sides for good judgment and understanding.         Acts 25:14-16 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix: 15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him. 16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him. 


In this text, Festus was saying “The Jews brought this man to me and said he has done evil against their law and as far as their law was concerned, this man deserves to die. But I told them it is not according to the Roman law to have a man condemned unless he has been given opportunity to defend himself. Let his accusers speak and let the man also speak.” But because of selfishness, we condemn people on religious, family, denominational and other basis which make you to be guilty before God and your righteousness is taken away. Satan has cheated many people in this way. Let him not cheat you in Jesus name. 


The scripture gives credence to some people to be believed because of their godliness and clean history. Such people are believed because of their godliness, because of their clean history and the plain facts they have spoken. 2 Timothy 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. Paul could write this way because he knew that what he told Timothy, taught Timothy, narrated to Timothy were the perfect truth. Timothy, you know my life, my purpose, my fear of sin, my holiness, and my labour to enter heaven. Hold on to the things that I have told you. Believe the doctrines that I have explained to you and continue in them. Such credit can be given to some categories of people whose life is beyond reproach. 


Thought for the day: An accused is innocent until proven guilty. 

Song for the day: Rock of ages, cleft for me

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 17-18; 2 Corinthians 2

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...
