FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR

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

TOPIC: FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR 

TEXT: HEBREWS 11: 1-6 

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 26TH

Key verse: Hebrews 11: 1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.”
Question: If you have been hoping for something and you testify by faith that the Lord has done it, is it wrong?
Answer: If you receive assurance from the Holy Spirit, you can share it; although I have not got it but it is done already. Let your audience understand your speech; that you have got it in your spirit so that when it manifests, they will understand. Tell them God has assured you and that you know it is done so that you can testify again when it materializes. You will then say, I told you; look at it now. The people will understand your testimony. Otherwise, if you say, I have got it already and later tell the people I have got it now, they may be wondering if you got it twice. They may not understand your testimony. I have got it by faith, and I am sure it is done so that when the substance comes, I will testify of the substance of my faith.
Question: Is it right to use a laptop or phone on the pulpit instead of the bible?
Answer: Every preacher should study his environment. There is an environment where you can do that and nobody will be offended but there is an environment where the people will be offended at you and you have done the wrong thing. Of itself, it is not sinful but if you come to a congregation of ignorant people who don’t know that there is no sin there, you may be pricking their conscience; making them commit sin. When you are not walking in wisdom and understanding, you sin. However, when you go to a congregation where the people are more enlightened, they may ask about the application software you are using and how to get it. They will not feel that you are committing sin. We need to understand this because whether you like it or not, in a few years, Bibles may be replaced by softcopies due to technological advancement. You may not easily find hard copies of the Bible. For instance, DVDs and CDs have replaced the old radio cassettes which were in use.

Thought for the day: When you do not walk in wisdom and understanding, you sin. 

Song for the day: The last mile of the way

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 7-9; Galatians 4

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...
