Topic: BE READY ALWAYS TO DEFEND THE GOSPEL OF TRUTH      Saturday  December 19th

Text: Galatians 1:6–10

Key verse: 1 Corinthians 9: 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.


Apostolic authority is the authority to defend the gospel of Christ. Paul said, “I am raised for the confirmation and the defense of the gospel.” I am raised for it as an apostle to defend and confirm the gospel, so that those who have heard should know that it is so. But to those who want to abuse it, I say, NO! Not in my presence, not to my knowledge. I respect no person when it comes to the gospel. When I saw Peter doing something different, something that abused this gospel, I spared him not. Before some people came from James in Jerusalem, Peter was eating with the Gentiles in Antioch, but when he saw the Jews that came from James he started playing hypocrisy. If left unchecked, it would have affected the gospel. We have told the Gentiles that circumcision means nothing; that eternal life was in Christ; that the law has been done away with; and that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and that Jesus commanded that the gospel be preached to the world. I rebuked Peter and Barnabas when I saw that both of them were carried away. Barnabas was even the one that mentored Paul. When I saw that Barnabas was going the same direction, I corrected him too to preserve the gospel. Paul laboured to preserve the truth of Christ’s gospel. He gave no chance to false brethren that came in. Not even once!

  

There is need for vigilance and watchfulness against false doctrines and strange practices. We must watch and supervise the pastors who are under us to ensure that they do not derail. Some of them love revelations. They love some unwholesome ideas. They love to bring these things that might bring damnable heresies. We must watch against anybody bringing any damnable heresies to the body of Christ or to Holiness Revival Movement. Such persons must be identified and put aside. Let the Church remain clean and righteous. Let us operate in godly fear. The Church is under apostolic authority. If there are things that are not clear, that you have not heard from us and you feel that there is need to teach them, then verify from the headquarters to know whether those things have meaning. You are not to teach whatsoever you desire because you are operating under authority.


Thought for the day: Teach and practice true and sound doctrine.

Song for the day: The church is marching on....

Bible reading for the day: Micah 1-3; Revelation 10

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...
