THE CROSS IS CENTRAL TO CHRISTIANITY

God's blessings shall follow for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: THE CROSS IS CENTRAL TO CHRISTIANITY 

TEXT: LUKE 14:25-27  
SATURDAY JULY 8TH

Key verse: 1 Peter 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled. 
God calls Jesus, whom people despised, My righteous servant. This same Jesus that people spoke against, criticized, and cast stones upon. There was no iniquity or wickedness in Him, but why are they speaking against Him? Why were they talking evil and planning to do him evil constantly? This is the Founder of Christianity. The cross takes a central place in Christianity. You need to know this in case you are looking for ease. Your thought might be, why shouldn’t people praise me with all my goodness? I thought people should be clapping that I am not doing wickedness anymore and that I am now godly. What is happening to my spouse? 
That is the mystery of Christianity! You are not part of the evil in society or the lies in your workplace; you are not part of their corruption and embezzlement. You go to work early and you are diligent at your desk. You begin to wonder why they are aiming at you. Why is it that when they are thinking of who to retrench it is your name that comes first? Know that this is the life of a Christian in a society that hates light, truth, and anything righteous. If you don’t know it, you may easily get offended when you begin to face these challenges. Jesus said except a man drinks My blood and eats My flesh he has no portion in Me. This is His type of life you must share to have real eternal life in you. You are passing through some pains now, you are passing through some rejection now, you are passing through some persecution now, you should know that is the mark of Christianity which indicates that you are on the right way because your Master too went through that way. Jesus recommends the cross to everyone that wants to follow and serve Him. If your mind is to be on top, the greatest and honored in the society, you are not part of Jesus. If that is where your mind is then you have lost the vision of Christianity. 

Thought for the day: Suffering is part of Christianity. 

Song for the day: The old rugged cross 

Bible reading for the day: -Job 38-39; Acts 15:1-21

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...
