COMMITMENT OF A CHRISTIAN WIDOW TO HOLY LIVING AND HEAVEN
TEXT: 1 Peter 1:15-16

Key verse: Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man 
shall see the Lord: 

Let the widow or widower be committed to holy living. Holy living means a life of purity, blamelessness, a sanctified life that is without stain, blemish, spots or wrinkles. Holy living involves both INWARD and OUTWARD purity. Some say God does not look at appearance but that is only for service. For holiness or going to heaven, God looks at both inward and outward condition of a man.  2 Corinthians 7: 1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. This scripture talks about “cleansing ourselves from ALL filthiness of the FLESH and SPIRIT, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” This shows that the purity of a believer is both INWARD and OUTWARD. God is not only concerned about the heart condition, but also the way we dress and adorn ourselves. To attain this,  you must be born again and sanctified. Flee all kinds of sin and impurities that defile your soul such as fornication, lying, pride, envy, covetousness etc. Also do not emulate the world in dressing and adornment. 

Also, widowhood should offer you a greater opportunity to live for heaven. Widowhood gives you more freedom for service to God for the sake of your soul. 1 Corinthians 7:32-33  But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:  But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. As a widow, you don't have to rush out of fellowship because your husband is waiting for his food. Now you have more time for prayer without distraction like Anna (Luke 2:36, 37).  1 Timothy 5:5  Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. Widowhood offers the opportunity to live holy for heaven without distraction (1 Corinthians 7:34, 35). Sometimes, the attempt to please your husband or wife may make you displease God. Some women dress like Jezebel to please their husbands. Sometimes, the husband or wife may obstruct his or her partner from following God. Therefore, God might have freed you from the bondage of marriage for the sake of your eternal life.

Thought for the day:  Serve God in the state in which he has called you.
Song for the day: Never fail me yet, never fail me yet, Jesus love never….
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 124-127; 1 Corinthians 7:1-24

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...
