THE WORD OF GOD 
TEXT: PSALM 119: 8-12
Key verse: Psalm 119:4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

Your attitude while reading or hearing God's word depends on whether or not you accept it as the infallible verdict of the unchanging God, full and final in all its declarations. God's honour, integrity, might and ability stand behind His word, “For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” God's word is supreme to all the opinions and ideologies of men. Of it alone it can be said, “Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in the the the keeping of them there is great reward”. Psalms 19:12. “Every word of God is pure” Proverbs 30:5.

A metaphor taken from the purifying of metals is employed here. It means that everything that God has pronounced is pure, without dross. God's word is free from any mixture of error, from all falsehood. The whole scripture is both pure and purifying. We have not read the scriptures correctly if the exercise has not had a definite purifying purpose, which is that the sons of men might, through reading and applying its messages to their lives, become the sons of God. 

Coming from the God of truth, who cannot lie, it is called “the Scriptures of truth”. Whatever tests the Bible may be subjected to, it is always like gold: it bears the fire and comes out with the same purity, beauty and weight. Every promise is true, every doctrine is pure; every commandment is right, and every prophecy is sure. Every one of them is free from mixtures and inventions of men. The scripture must confirm every revelation message before it is accepted.
Since the Bible finds its origin in the mind of God, it cannot be anything but perfect. Any addition or subtraction contaminates its declared purity and opens the way to errors and corruption. The scriptures retain their life-changing face and mighty power only when preached and believed in its pure, unadulterated form. As gold loses some value when mixed with dross, so the word of God becomes powerless to save anyone if mixed with private interpretations of men.

Thought for the day: The whole scripture is both pure and purifying  
Song for the day: Something more than gold, Something more than silver….
Bible reading for the day:  Jeremiah 38-39; Hebrews 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...
