THE RICHES OF THE WORD OF GOD 
TEXT:  2 Timothy 3:14-17
Key verse:  Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and the word 
of His grace, which can build you up, and to give you an inheritance among 
all them which are sanctified.

The hearing of God's Word gives faith for salvation, sanctification, baptism with the Holy Spirit and other blessings of the gospel. When the Word of God is richly preached and taught, members of the congregation will know the Word, the knowledge of the Living God in His Trinity: the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Great are the benefits of the Word of God in our lives. Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Psalm 19:7,11 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in the keeping of them there is great reward. Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee. John 8:30-32 As He spake these words, many believed in Him. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free

Believers need to be taught the doctrines of Scripture so that they may know what to believe, what to do and what not to do. It is the responsibility of the ministers of God to outline and teach these scriptural doctrines for all to know and obey them. Through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God, believers can know their privileges in the gospel and appropriate them by faith. As good as singing, a manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and other inspired activities are, they had limited place. The focus was given to the preaching and teaching of the Word of God. The charge Timothy was given is the charge the Lord has given to every true minister of the gospel in the church of Christ today. 1Timothy 4:11-12, These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Let the Word of God be richly preached and taught so that members of the congregation will know the Word. Every believer has the liberty also to search the scripture to preach, to teach and to exhort one another and to reach out to unbelievers as well. Make it a duty to study and search the Word of God. It inspires. Discover this hidden treasure.

Thought for the day: The word of God is more precious than gold and silver.
Song for the day: Read your Bible, Pray every day
Bible reading for the day: Song of Solomon 4-5; 2 Corinthians 13

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...
