GOD’S VIEW ON CHILDLESSNESS IS NOT THE SAME WITH THE WORLD’S

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

DATE: TUESDAY MARCH 30

TOPIC: GOD’S VIEW ON CHILDLESSNESS IS NOT THE SAME WITH THE WORLD’S 

TEXT: Isaiah 55:8-9 
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

KEY VERSE: Luke 1:6-7 And they were both righteous before God, … blameless. And they had no child because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 

Not having children is considered a challenge in the world. The person who has many of them might be crying, "I have too many children," while the person who does not have might be crying, "I do not have a child. I need children!” That is the pattern in the world.

 But Christianity is different from the world. If you want to see things in the eye of the world, you will fall. As a Christian family, even though childless, you should remain righteous and godly. Consider Zachariah and Elizabeth and understand their case well. 

In Luke 1:5-7, the Bible shows that they were not wayward people. It was not that Elizabeth committed a sin and did many abortions. No! It was not that Zachariah did a thing that brought a curse on his family. No! They were both righteous before God. 

Does God not fight for the righteous? Could not God have arisen on this matter and fought for them? He fought for them in many other areas, but on this one, He did not bother because it was in His perfect will. He was going to be glorified in this area. 

So, He did not do anything about it. And they were walking in all commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. They had no sin before God. They were not self-righteous but scripturally righteous. They were divinely declared righteous, yet they had no child.  

Not for one year or two or five years, but until both were well stricken in years. Understand the scriptures and think well towards your brother and sister in this condition. Do not make your brethren feel ashamed because they have no children.

Do not give shame to yourself. God will give you glory. You have no child but you will have the glory of God. Jesus was nailed naked on the cross but there has been nobody more glorious than Him.

 Adam and Eve were both naked but they were not ashamed. Why? Because divine glory covered them. Zachariah and Elizabeth had no child, but they lived well among men. You too will live well among men. 

Be righteous. Be holy. Do not blame each other. Do not accuse each other. Do not listen to accusations from outside. Do not bother yourself with the negative reactions of relatives who do not know the Lord. 

Your case is different. God is working all things for your future good; for your eternal good and the glory of His name in your life. Therefore, let both the husband and the wife, remain righteous and peaceful. 

Thought for the day: Value your relationship with Jesus above having a child. 

Song for the day: Take glory Almighty God, take glory Almighty God.

Bible reading for the day: Judges 1-2; 
Luke 7:1-30  #Horemow

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...

My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit.

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...
