TOPIC: RECEIVING FORGIVENESS FROM GOD IS A GREAT BLESSING.    December Saturday 12th

Text: Psalms 32:1-5 

Key verse: Psalm 32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. 


The psalmist says it is wonderful to have one’s sin forgiven. It is like a mountain removed from him. It is wonderful for God to declare a man’s sin forgiven. This is great. It is like a prisoner released from prison. It is a great joy. A man that his spirit has been cleansed from sin and his spirit is no longer carrying sin, is a blessed man. This Psalm concerns the sin of David with Uriah’s wife. He lamented that when he committed sin he hid it. “When I committed adultery and arranged that Uriah should be killed, for all that period, I was silent but my bones were making noise. It was as when you stand near the ocean and you hear the roaring noise of the ocean. My bones were cracking within me. I was restless inside me. The hand of God was heavy upon me (v.4). I experienced God oppressing me. It was God’s heavy hand prodding me, “You must confess.” My body was resisting confession because of fear and the mockery of Satan. I was afraid at the mockery of the fall of a righteous man.” (Paraphrased) 


David became dry, blasted by the east wind. The wind blasted him because sin was in him unconfessed. In the midst of all these tensions, David took the right step to acknowledge and confess his sin before God in order to be peaceful. Take a cue from David if you are always restless anytime you hear about the rapture due to hidden sin. To his utmost surprise, God forgave him. The great surprise is the forgiveness you can receive cheaply if you apply the principle of godly sorrow and genuine repentance. He may have thought that he was going to lose the throne as king or be stoned to death, but God of mercy forgave him. As for Nebuchadnezzar, his glory returned unto him after repentance and confession and excellent majesty was added unto him. This is the shock of life. That is why God and man are totally different. Mercy follows confession, but when you hide your sin there is danger of hell. Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 

Thought for the day: Godly sorrow and genuine repentance makes way for God’s mercy. 

Song for the day: I love that Man of Galilee, for He has done so very much for me...

Bible reading for the day: Hosea 12-14; Revelation 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...
