Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision, and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

Text: Romans 1: 16-18  
Tuesday, March 12th

Key verse: Psalm 130:1 “Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O LORD.”
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 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 Pentecostals and evangelicals, how much of the gospel do they know? What about China with over 1.4 billion? Are there up to 50 million Christians? What of America and Europe? They have forgotten Jesus. What do we do? Africa is still in darkness yet the best Christianity is in Africa. Come to Nigeria and see churches in multitudes but what do they teach? With women perming their hair and wearing trousers and jewellery while the pastors themselves wear wedding rings. Can they go anywhere? I said, “God, the world is doomed.” 
I started crying aloud in the night in another country until I realized that the neighbours might think that armed robbers had come to my house. Is it not armed robbery my brethren? The devil has carried the majority of human beings. Even among those in holiness churches, how many are born again and righteous there? I mourned and cried in great pain. That was why I began to write that book that deeper life found fault in me because I said this book would give salvation to the world. My burden gave rise to vision and I took action. What can I do that the whole world will hear the message? Eventually, the leadership of Deeper Life became offended because of that book and persecuted me greatly until God asked me to leave. Praise God!

Thought for the day: The devil has carried the majority of human beings. 

Song for the day: Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord …

Bible reading for the day: Joshua 23-24

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
