JESUS WANTS TO PURGE AND SANCTIFY HIS CHURCH
TEXT: John 3: 25-30
Key verse: John 3: 27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

Jesus did not want His gospel to be abused, that is why He said, “Father sanctify them. I am not physically with them in the world. If I were in the world, some of them will look at Me and hide, but I am not there for righteousness to flow freely.” That is what we desire of you brethren, among the Coordinators, Chapter leaders, Pastors and Teachers, Choir, Ushers, that you will be sanctified. 
If you are removed from the work, you will not have grudges against people. Your mind will be peaceful. Believe that God removed you for a reason, maybe God even showed the reason, you have no problem. This sinful nature is abusing the commission of holiness that God has given to us, to live in and preach. Our profession of holiness must be accompanied by transparent life of holiness and righteousness.

Due to this Adamic and carnal nature, people are withdrawing from God and His service. The Adamic nature and inward pollution and corruption need to be purged. Go back to God and say, “Lord I was sharpened in iniquity and sin did my mother conceive me. I have a body of sin. Purge me with hyssop, wash me and I will be whiter than snow. I want to be holy.

From today's reading text, John the Baptist escaped provocation of envy over the ministry of Jesus. People told him, “Do you know the other man you bore record of is baptizing more people than you?” They wanted to make John envious but he said, “He shall increase but I will decrease”. It takes sanctification of heart to say this. This is Holiness. When Jesus came to the world, did He manifest any sin in his life? He wants you to be like that. He does not want you to interfere with the Holy Spirit.

Thought for the day: As the sinner comes to Jesus for forgiveness, so the believer should also come back to Him for sanctification. 
Song for the day: Create in me a clean heart O Lord, and renew a right spirit….
Bible reading for the day:  Isaiah 65-66; 2 Thessalonians 1

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...
