STRIVE TO OBTAIN AN INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN

God bless you for taking the time to study.

STRIVE TO OBTAIN AN INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN

TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 9: 24-27 

FRIDAY JANUARY 27th 

Key Verse I Corinthians 9: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means when I have preached to others, I should be a castaway.
The Christian life is also likened to a race that the athlete engages himself in so that he may win a prize. As a result, he is disciplined in all things that he may win. We know that not everyone that is involved in the race gets the prize. Only the first to the third persons get the prizes while others miss it and go empty.  This is what made the athlete to be temperate in all things. He ensures his body shape and weight is fit enough to perform. His trainers also give him training, because he wants to win. Paul says I know so well that not everybody that comes into or is called into Christianity or Christian ministry will eventually make it to heaven. Since I know this, I disciplined and worked on myself to ensure I am not dropped or disqualified. 
Note that Satan was the chiefest of the angels; a covering cherub and leading musician that led praise worship in heaven. He blessed heaven with his ministry yet he was cast away because he did not discipline himself; he went into sin and God did not spare him. Who has done greater work for God than Satan except for Jesus who fulfilled the will of God in its totality? If God spared not Satan, then who are you? When God called Moses and said, “Take My people to the Promised Land,” He eventually forbade him from entering the Promised Land because he disobeyed His word. God gave Eli the calling of the high priest and later condemned him because he allowed sin in the temple. As a minister desirous of heaven, check yourself, for he that judges himself shall be judged of no man. I examine myself; how I talk, think, behave and carry out my business transaction. Is the blame coming on me genuine? Did I sincerely fail? Examine yourself because you want to go to heaven; for many are called but few are chosen. I want to ensure that I am among the few that will make it. Many will not make it to heaven. Only those who run well will obtain the crown of life. As a result of this, you need to develop personal spiritual discipline.

Thought for the day Work on yourself so that you be not judged 

Song for the day Satan will never conquer me (3x) when we …

Bible reading for the day: Exodus 13-15; Matthew 19:1-15

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...
