THE HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS LIFESTYLE OF APOSTLE PAUL

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

TOPIC: THE HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS LIFESTYLE OF APOSTLE PAUL

TEXT: ACTS 9: 1-6 

FRIDAY DECEMBER     22ND

Key verse: Acts 24:6. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense towards God, and towards men.
Paul, also called Saul, had been well known as a fierce hater and persecutor of Christians until his supernatural encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ on the way to Damascus. Paul surrendered to Jesus and for three days, he fasted and prayed for guidance of God. He became a missionary with an extraordinary zeal for the spread of the gospel; evangelizing, teaching, conserving, discipling and mentoring generations of Christians by his letters. He touched many lives through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit; God made him write many books of the Bible. 
Paul worked with other apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ to spread the message of Christ. Paul worked directly with Barnabas, Silas and other disciples and indirectly with Peter, James and John who were elders and apostles in the early church. He mentored Timothy, Titus, Mark, Epaphras, Priscilla and Aquilla and many others in the Lord. Paul testified to both Jews and Gentiles alike at great personal cost, suffering untold perils, shipwreck, imprisonment and persecution including being beaten thrice with rods and stoned to death but the Lord revived him, strengthened and reinvigorated him to complete the divine assignment. 
Paul was a tentmaker, and labored for his personal upkeep and to cater for those in his team. He learnt the hard way; in hunger and perils, not relying on members to meet his needs; not giving fake prophecies, not selling aprons and handkerchiefs or stealing God’s money. Paul remained unmarried all through his lifetime of sacrificial service that was marked by conversions, planting of churches, miracles, visions, revelations, healings, signs and wonders.  Ultimately, he joyfully paid the supreme sacrifice for his unquenchable faith and allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ when he was beheaded in Rome by emperor Nero to be enlisted as a martyr.

Thought for the day: They that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

Song for the day: Paul and Silas, they prayed, they sang…

Bible reading for the day: Nahum 1-3; Revelation 13

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...
