The Peril of Ignorance

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

Topic: The Peril of Ignorance.  October Wednesday 21st 

Text: Genesis 20:1-18

Key verse: Proverbs 19:2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. 


An ignorant man is like a man moving forward with his eyes closed. Do you know that being ignorant of the law does not exempt you from punishment when you break it? The saying, “Ignorance is no excuse of the law” is clearly seen in the story of king Abimelech, who despite his claim of innocence and pureness of heart, was still subject to the judgment of God. King Abimelech took Abraham's wife and when confronted by God, he pleaded innocence due to his ignorance of the truth of the matter. But God’s verdict was that he had committed sin by taking another man's wife and was guilty of death according to God's word. The king argued his case with God, thinking he would be justified. Many people also do so today thinking God will understand their situation. He told God that he acted in the integrity of his heart and in his innocence. His wrong action was due to misinformation and deceit of his informants, but that did not exonerate him from God's judgment— the king was doomed to die. 


Sins committed unknowingly are the commandment of God broken in ignorance.

God saw the sincerity of Abimelech and decided to save him by demonstrating His mercies through some strange happenings, such as shutting up the womb of every woman in the king's household. He even prevented the king from touching Sarah. This could have manifested as some kind of ailment or disease. All these were done to get the king's attention, but he did not understand the message until God appeared to him in a dream. You might have been made to suffer some hardship as a way of calling your attention to the wrong you have done. God may be using one sign or the other to draw your attention to repentance so that through repentance you can be delivered from the hands of Satan. These signs are the works of His mercy in your life. Like Abimelech, correct your ways and return that which you stole or took illegally. Seek and make peace with those you have defrauded. God will bless you as you do this.


Thought for the day: Only the truth can set you free.

Song for the day: Open my eyes O Lord, Alleluia...

Bible reading for the day: 

Jeremiah 5-6; 1 Timothy I

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...
