God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: DANGER OF UNSANCTIFIED HEART.

TEXT: EZEKIEL 36: 25 – 27 

WEDNESDAY JULY 27th

Key verse: Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 
Sanctification is a Christian experience in which a believer receives inner cleansing from sins and is purged from inward struggles and defilements such as pride, jealousy, anger, malice, hatred, lust, greed, bitterness, evil thoughts, envy etc. Sanctification does to a believer what rinsing does to a cloth that was washed with detergent. After salvation experience, a believer needs Sanctification for heart purity and holiness. A believer that is saved needs to pray in faith in order to receive this experience. It makes one’s heart clean and pure. Sanctification comes after one is saved. 
Sanctification also means dedication, consecration and set apart for God’s use. This work of grace makes one not to commit sin. “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and He cannot sin, because He is born of God. (1 John 3:9)  When the heart is pure, the mouth will produce clean words. The eye will love to see undefiled things. The ear will also love to hear gracious words and detest sinful acts like worldly music and the rest. Sanctification is holiness.
It is commonly noticed that after salvation experience, the heart often manifests some inbred sins. This was manifested in the lives of the disciples of Jesus. “And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest” (Luke 22:24) Can you see self-seeking? The self in them was not destroyed even though they were saved. There was fleshly struggle and self-promotion. May be you are the same. Born again but you can still notice some carnality in you. You want people to recognize you. You can notice envy in you. You harbour bitterness against someone. It means your heart is not sanctified. This means Holiness is not complete in you. The Bible says without Holiness, no man shall see the Lord. It is dangerous for a believer to live with unsanctified heart. 

Thought for the day: It takes purity of heart to see the Lord. Be pure in heart.

 Song for the day: Sanctify me Lord, purify me Lord, make me Holy…. 

Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 50-52; Acts 27:1-25

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...
