TOPIC: CHASTISEMENT IS PAINFUL BUT IT PROFITS THE SOUL

 For taking your time to study the word of God remain blessed.

TOPIC: CHASTISEMENT IS PAINFUL BUT IT PROFITS THE SOUL JANUARY Saturday, 2nd

TEXT: Romans 5:3-5

KEY VERSE: Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.


Have you taken a child to the hospital for an injection before? Was the child laughing when the doctor or the nurse was preparing the syringe? What was the child doing? What was he saying? Was he not crying and shouting, “Carry me out of this place?” That is how discipline is. Through discipline, you are treating a sickness. You are treating a bad habit; a corrupt habit; but it is painful. They say, “Stand up there;” you stand up and they begin to pour your sins on you. Bible says in 1 Timothy 5:20, “Them that sin rebuke before all, …” but you will not want to take that. Pride will come in; Satan will send some people to you to tell you that you have been ridiculed; that your good name has been tarnished. They will remind you that the recording has even been posted on the internet. What does that mean? Are obituaries not on the internet? Would you prefer to have your obituary posted on the internet when you have gone to hell or that you receive godly rebuke in love and escape hell?  


It is those who don’t understand that will read ulterior motives into such things, but to the righteous, it is a sign that God loves you. For Him to have your error revealed while you are alive, He loves you. Bible says, “Afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness.” To which people? To everybody? No! Bible says, “to them that are exercised in it.” It could be that you were even removed as a leader from Holiness Revival Movement and you went your own way. You have failed! If you had remained, who knows God’s plan for you? Is it not God that brought Nebuchadnezzar back to the throne? “Afterwards it worketh a peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them that are exercised thereby.” Not everybody will take discipline and stay. Some will take and go; they will look for reasons. But there is no reason you can find on earth for the Bible says of Jesus in Isaiah 53:7, “As a sheep before her shearers are dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.” Do you have more righteousness than Him? He was humiliated and taken to the cross, but see the fruit that followed. If you too can patiently endure this chastisement, it shall profit you at the end.


Thought for the day: Discipline is part of the Christian life.

Song for the day: In my life, Lord, be glorified, be glorified. In my life, Lord, be glorified today

Bible reading for the day: Genesis 3-5; Matthew 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...
