GOD HAS NOT SOLD HIS CHILDREN TO ANY MINISTER

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: GOD HAS NOT SOLD HIS CHILDREN TO ANY MINISTER

TEXT: 1 PETER 5:1-3 

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 28th 

KEY VERSE: Ephesians 6:9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
Today’s lesson is a revelation to Sister Linda Paul Rika on holiness preachers: A pastor that attended the conference was a stern holiness minister. His servant remained standing by him. Jesus told him, “You put on a hard face and are not cheerful because you want people to fear you. This is not Christianity! The scripture says to rejoice always in the Lord. The fruit of the Spirit is joy. Your attending minister has been standing in fear of you. You have not allowed him to sit down. You have made yourself the subject of ministry, not the Lord. You teach your members this way and you are their fear, not God. 
With this attitude, it is not easy for Me to use your members. They are more loyal to you than to Me since they would want Me to take permission from you before using them. Since they do not associate with people, they are not lights to them. They are not known in society. They cannot win souls for Me because of fear. They are in your cage. Your pastor is still standing when others have sat down. My presence could not still set him free from you. My will is that you should be fruitful and multiply but this attitude has limited growth and spread of holiness.”
The Lord said, “When I came into the world, did I keep Myself away from men? I mingled with them to know them and save them.” The Lord turned to the attending pastor and said, “I see you standing by this man to prove your faithfulness to him even when others have taken their seats. You are doing this out of slavish fear of your leader. This does not attract My rewards. In your heart, you wish to sit down as others. You know your master's attitude is not godly, but you decided to do what will please him. You are giving him this undue respect even in My presence, showing you value him above the truth. I have not sold you to him as a slave.”

Thought for the day: Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men

Song for the day: We are heirs of the Father…

Bible reading for the day: Zechariah 7-9; Revelation 19

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...
