YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WILLFUL SIN COMMITTED

TEXT: ISAIAH 66:3-4                                                                       
KEY VERSE: James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Wilful sin is one's capability of conscious choice and decision to do wrong. Wilful sins are acted out by your willpower. You exercise your will power wrongly to do evil, even to speak evil or to abuse God. The things you do that convicts you and you do not stop, you are responsible for them. Those who commit willful sin are those who choose their ways, delighting in their detestable sins. 
God Himself says concerning them as in “I called", they did not answer when I speak, they did not listen. They deliberately sin before my very eyes and choose to do what they know I despise”. (Isaiah 66:4- paraphrased) but if blasphemous thoughts come to you and you do not accept them; you have not sinned. A woman once called me and said, “I am having blasphemous thoughts in me against God, I do not know what to do. These thoughts keep coming, what should I do?” I said, “Those thoughts are not coming from you but from Satan. God does not count them as a sin against you because you have not accepted them”. 
They are like mosquitoes disturbing you. You must make up your mind to destroy that mosquito. You are not guilty because those thoughts are not from you. Satan only wants you to accept them. If you start accepting and liking them, then sin comes in because you are using your will power. If you use your will power willingly to commit immorality, you are a sinner and you are responsible for your action.
Isaiah 66:3-4
3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb,as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

Thought for the day: Reject all temptations to sin.

Song for the day: I have decided to follow Jesus

Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 20-22, John 6:45-71

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...
