Comments And Clarifications On Family Planning  

Thursday January 18th

Text: Genesis 1: 26-30
Key verse: Proverbs 4:2 “For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.”
Comment: My personal conviction is to follow the instruction God told Adam to replenish and fill the earth. I got married in 1972 and continued to give birth until it stopped after nine children. I have never done any form of family planning. Nurses counsel women to do family planning but they complain when there are no children to immunize. I tell them not to complain since they told women to control birth.
Clarification: You got married when knowledge and conviction had not come. In those days, women could trek far distances with fire wood on their heads, often without slippers and with babies on their backs. Their bodies were strong but nowadays they don’t trek that far so do not have the tough body you had. Some may die before they give birth to nine children because their bodies cannot stand it. Knowledge is vital to protect life. Does God say there should be no birth control? No. God told Adam to be fruitful but only three sons of Adam were mentioned; Cain, Abel and Seth. God promised to make Abraham a father of many nations but gave him one child through Sarah. God gave Isaac two children. Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom. If a couple decides to have one child for convenience, they have neither offended God nor broken the law to be fruitful.
Comment: We were told that artificial family planning is sin because God has given you a natural control method in your body to know when you are free and when you are not free and that with the calendar method you will be able to control your family. 
Clarification: In your case you agree that the number can be controlled but the method should be natural while some say we should not control at all and would call you a sinner for controlling the number of children God is sending to the family. Wisdom requires that we control the number of children through suitable methods; both natural and with appropriate contraceptives. 

Thought for the day: No method in family planning is 100% effective.

Song for the day: I have seen the Lord’s goodness, His mercies and compassion …

Bible reading for the day: Exodus 8-10

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...
