MAN IS A UNIQUE CREATURE OF GOD

MONDAY OCTOBER 17TH

TEXT: GENESIS 1:26
Key verse: Proverbs 8:31. Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. 
Man is the only creature that God gave life through breathing into his nostrils to become a living soul. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7. Apart from man, no animal has a soul. Man’s ability to reason, think, decide and make a choice is made possible through his soul. This is the reason why man is subject to the judgment of God since he can choose whom he will worship and serve (Joshua 24:15). 
Again, God made man as three distinct persons like Himself. No other creature has this nature. Angels in heaven do not have it. Man, therefore, is superior when compared to other creatures. God’s delight is with the sons of men because they resemble Him (Proverbs 8:31). He made man after His likeness. God became man to redeem man from sin because man is too precious to be lost.
The man was made in the very image of God. It is like when a man says “this child is my life”. For instance, it was said of Benjamin, “If you take away this child, the life of my father is gone. He is the reason why my father is alive. My father’s heart and joy are upon him. If this child remains in Egypt and does not come back, my father will go to grave untimely” Genesis 44:27-31. The love of God for man is more than this. That is why He does not want a man to perish. As God exists in three separate persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit so man exists in three separate persons; spirit, soul, and body. 
As said earlier, because man is a living soul, he is subject to God’s judgment. The spirit of every man united with his soul at death returns to God for judgment while the buried body decomposes and becomes dust on the earth. The body will reunite with the spirit and soul at the resurrection of the dead and mortality will take on immortality forever because the spirit, soul, and body are made in the image and nature of God. The composite life of the three after death will either be everlasting in heaven or everlasting damnation in the lake of fire. You are too precious to be lost.

Thought for the day: God loves you because you are His image. Love Him too.

Song for the day: I know Jesus loves me, wherever I go I will follow Him.

Bible reading for the day:Isaiah 62-74; 1 Thessalonians 5

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...
