TOPIC: SUPPORTERS OF JESUS’ MINISTRY 

TEXT: 1 JOHN 1:1-2
1. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2. (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 

KEY VERSE: JOHN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. 

When Jesus was physically on earth in His mission of giving life to the men of the world, there were men and women that supported His course with their money and material resources. Although He came from Heaven to do the Will of God among men and had the full backing of God, the Father did not pour down money and material support literally from Heaven for Him to use. 

God used men and women on earth to partake in the ministry of distributing abundant life to humanity. Considering the support of Mary Magdalene and other women in Luke 8:1-3; these women were sinners who suffered much from the hand of Satan. 

Through faith in Jesus Christ, they were saved from their sins and were delivered from the power of darkness. Hence, they released their money and material resources to support the Ministry of Jesus. 

The lad with the five loaves and two fishes in John 6:5, 8-14. This lad had what was required and for the love of Christ willingly released them. What a great privilege it is to singularly sponsor a Christ-honoring program or project as this lad did. 

Mary and Martha in John 12:1-8, joyfully accommodated and fed Jesus and His disciples whenever he was in Bethany. The above passage showed how Mary ‘wasted’ great sum of money on Jesus as lamented by Judas Iscariot. On who could she had spent her best possession on if not her Savior Christ? 

Joseph of Aremathaea and Nicodemus in Matthew 27:57-60. These believers identified with the course of Christ publicly by making the best use of their human greatness and wealth In Luke 10:1-7, 

Christ disciples were also supported by men when He sent them out to without giving them anything. Christ expects those who labor for human salvation to receive the support of good-hearted recipients. Learn to support the true ministers of the gospel because they need to eat, drink and be clothed 

Thought for the day: ...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10(b)

Song for the day: Na so so wonder Jesus dey do…..

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 60-63

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...
