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

WHY GOD DESERVES YOUR  THANKSGIVING AND PRAISES ALWAYS
TEXT:  Psalm 30:11-12
Key verse: 1Thessalonians 5:18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God 
in Christ Jesus concerning you.

In everything give thanks and praises to God. This is what God desires from His children. Our thanks and praises should ascend to God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in everything: good or evil, in pleasure or pain, in the joy of life or the dread of death. God requires this from every believer. It is good for the Christian. However, praise and thanksgiving to God are often forgotten by men in times of peace, prosperity and pleasure. The scripture warns every child of God against this transgression and costly forgetfulness (Deuteronomy 7:6-25). To forget to give God praise and thanks in your good times deprives your soul of humility and fills it with the pride of self-accomplishment. The heart of the one who forgets God in his achievements claims that he got it by his wisdom, ability, and connection. He may also ascribe the glory to other human beings or even to demons (Daniel 4:30; Esther 5:11-12). Never fail to give God praise and thanks for all the good things in your life. They come from Him and He wants you to realize this and appreciate Him. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Thank Him for the knowledge, wisdom, understanding, connections, human helps, open doors, favours, and grace He has given you. 

Praise and thanksgiving to God is a scriptural command, instruction and counsel. God wants us to praise Him when things are hard, unpleasant and ugly (whether imagined or real). You may be wondering why God should be praised for what Satan has done as in the case of Job. The wisest thing is to heed the command and instruction of scripture. In your hard and difficult times, praise God, thank God, worship God. Job demonstrated this truth to us in his practical Christian life. He praised and worshipped God in the worst situation of life to the bewilderment of His wife. The Lord wants us to learn this from the life of Job (Romans 15:4). Our situation may not even be as terrible as Jobs. But if he praised and worshipped God in dark moments of life, we too can praise God in our dark days (Job 1:20-22).

Thought for the day: Your righteous standing in times of trouble proves your genuine faith in God.
Song for the day: Praise God Alleluia, Praise God Amen...
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 136-138; 
1 Corinthians 9

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...
