THE EXEMPLARY HOLY GARMENT OF JESUS AND THE SAINTS

TEXT: MARK 15:24 

Key Verse: 1Timothy 4:12…but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 
They crucified Him and the cloth they found on Him was valuable and useful that they could not tear them. They got them in full, the top and lower. They cast lots for who could pick the top and lower. From this scripture, we understand the kind of dressing Jesus used. He dressed in a clean, modern,e and noble way, devoid of flamboyance as in the world. His cloth attracted the soldiers so that they cast lots on them on whom to take it for personal use. We are saying this so that nobody will say Christianity means dressing shabbily, not wearing reasonable clothes, being poor in appearance; being indecent,t and going for the lowest. Jesus dressed well and respectably because a good dressing on you is important for human respect and honor. If you do not dress appropriately, you will not command honor. Our Lord Jesus dressed well and His appearance was honored. People delighted in His dressing. Yet, we need to differentiate this from flamboyance, ostentation,n and worldliness appearances.
Luke 7:26-But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 
Jesus was describing John the Baptist and his clothing, which was different from the ones you found in places of flamboyance. He said, if you talk about flamboyant and gorgeous dressing, go to the king’s palace, where money is wasted. Those people do not only give attention to dressing but they live delicately, in feasting, drunkenness, dancing and all that gratifies the flesh. Is that where you will find the prophet of God? Is that how you will find the prophet of God? He said, no. John the Baptist, the prophet of God did not dress like that; neither did Jesus dress as one in the king’s palace. He did not dress in excess or as a man living delicately nor in rags. 
That is, God looks on earth saying that the dressing of My people is not of those dressing to show riches, wealth or like those living worldly, ostentatious,s and high life. That is what He is showing us in the above scripture. Our dressing and adornment should portray our calling, for our clothing describes who we are in the world. We should show who we are. John was a prophet and Jesus was a Messiah to save both the rich and poor. Thus, He did not dress like the rich in the world nor like the poor man or pauper. He dressed nobly, righteous,y and respectfully to give Him success in His ministry. Brethren, dress to glorify GOD! 

Thought for the day: Our dressing and adornment should portray our holy calling 

Song for the day: Peace, purity, power (2X) are mine in the Lord (2X)…

Bible reading for the day: Ezra 3-5; John 20.

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...

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.

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...
