THE WEIGHT OF SIN

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.

TOPIC: THE WEIGHT OF SIN November Saturday 21st

Text: Psalm 51:1-12

Key verse: Isaiah 57:21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. 


Sin has weight and convicting power that does not give rest to the sinner day and night. Sin has weight as if you are carrying a heavy load. You sit with it, you stand up with it, you move about with it. Even when you lie down, the load is still heavy on you. That little sin you committed comes with a heavy weight you carry about and it will not give you rest or peace day and night. There is no peace for the wicked. The sinner is laughing with his mouth, but his heart is burning. There is fear. It is like a particle enters your eye. Whatever you are saying or doing, your mind is on that disturbing particle in your eye. Just as the sea brings out dirty things that are in it and they keep flowing to and fro, and the water is mixed up with dirt, so it is with the life of a sinner. He is carrying a heavy weight because of sin. 


Some of these sins have been there for many years. Consider the case of the woman that provided food for Elijah during the period of draught. When she lost her son she lamented, “Man of God, have you come to call my sins to remembrance?” Apparently there must have been something dirty in the way the woman got that boy and the Lord wanted the confession of that sin. The presence of Elijah that should have brought health to that family led to the death of the boy. As human beings you could forget you have committed some sins in time past. 


God gives this ability of forgetfulness so that we can be at peace once in a while, but it still comes to remembrance from time to time and any time it comes up you are restless. The weight of sin may even make you cry, “Why did I do it?” Suppose you killed somebody secretly and failed to confess it, any time you hear that somebody dies your mind will go to the person you have killed and you become restless. Confess your sin and put away that weight on you. That is why scripture says, “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” (Heb. 12:1).


Thought for the day: For your peace, do not hide your sin. Confess it!

Song for the day: Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Bible reading for the day: 

Ezekiel 24-26; James 3

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...
