GOD DEMANDS TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO HIS HUMAN ORDAINED LEADERS.

TEXT: JOSHUA 1: 16 – 18  
KEY VERSE: HEBREW 13: 17 “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you”
In Israel when there was no king everyone did what he wanted. God ordained human leaders to lead and ensure orderliness. The following are other reasons why God demands total obedience to His ordained leaders:
• They are His Representative: God requires that our obedience to His ordained human leaders must be total, complete and wholesome, without any resistance as long as it is in the course of God and righteousness. God passes through them as He passed through Moses to instruct your life.
• Total Obedience To Leadership Facilitates God’s Work: In today’s text, the people of Israel said unto Joshua all that you are going to say we will do and where you send us we shall go. As they did, Joshua succeeded. It is in such submission that there can be progress in the church and the vision of God given to the leaders can be materialized. Whatever the Pastor instructs, you will do because you believe that God is with him, amen.
• Your Leader will Give Account on You to God: It is scriptural that you obey them that have rule over you and submit yourself because they watch over your soul and must give account on you to God. Don’t make your leader sorrowful as it will not profit you as a holy believer on the way to Heaven.
• God Mandates Them to Give Complete Message to His Flock: Your support and prayer will enable them to be protected from the evil infiltration and they will be able to make known the mystery of the gospel not only to you but the whole flock of God.
Joshua 1:16-18
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Whosoever he is that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of good courage.
Thought for the day: Total obedience to God’s ordained leaders facilitates progress in the church.

Song for the day: Give me the grace to follow, abundant grace to follow, sufficient……

Bible reading: 1 Samuel 30-31; Luke 17:20-37

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...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. My Spirit Will Follow You To Do My Work.  Sunday 16th November  Text: Acts 16: 9-10 Key verse: Mark 16: 20 “And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following, Amen.” Continuation of revelation of Brother Dieudonne:  The Lord said, “I am here to gather My people before the trumpet sounds. My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit. When My Spirit enters, if you obey My word, My Spirit will follow you to do My work. People will listen to you and follow you. They are My chosen. If they listen to My word and reject it, let them go. Evangelize, preach My word to everybody, I am here gathering My people before My coming. If the time was not finished, would the animals have come to Noah? The time is...

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...
