God bless you for taking the time to study.

A NIGERIAN SOLDIER'S EXPERIENCE IN THE LAND OF THE DEAD (1)

TEXT: John 12:20-23 

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11th 

KEY VERSE: Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
“It happened during the Nigerian civil war. I had enlisted in the Nigerian army, determined to fight on the battlefield. At the end of our training, I was made a quartermaster. I was to be in charge of the issuance of uniforms and ammunition to soldiers. In my heart, I loathed the quarter master’s work. I was itching to be a combatant soldier. I was finally allowed to fight on the battlefield. I wasn't quite three months at the battlefront when I was shot. When the bullet hit me, I did not know that anything had happened. I was enveloped in a thick darkness that cannot be described and I began to run. I did not know that I had died.
While I was running in the darkness, I saw a spotlight ahead. I was happy. If I could pass through the darkness, I would enter into the light, I had reasoned. I pressed on. When I reached just a short distance from the light, I saw two paths in front of me. As I stood, wondering which way to go, I heard a voice like thunder asking, “Where are you coming from?" I said I was coming from the world. The voice asked how long I lived in the world and what I did while in the world. Then I began to confess. I did not even know that anything had happened. I did not know that I was dead. It was just like a normal conversation.
I recounted everything I had done from the age of seven. I wanted to tell lies but it was impossible. My mouth spoke as if a tape recorder was playing. After recounting all my evil deeds, I burst into tears. Yet as I was weeping, I kept on confessing all the evil I did. When I finished talking, a book appeared before me in which was written all the sins I had committed since the age of seven. I realized then that in death, there is no question of illiteracy. Even if you were illiterate in life, you will be able to read in death. That day, when you finish confessing, you will read again all the sins you committed, for there is no partiality there. The book was in front of me and I continued to read from it.  (To be continued tomorrow)

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...
