The Significance Of The Name “Jesus” 

Sunday 16th February

Text: Matthew 1: 20 - 23 
Key Verse: And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shall call His Name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21
The Name “Jesus” does not refer to the Father; hence, you cannot call the Father “Jesus”. The Name “Jesus” does not refer to the Holy Spirit either, Jesus who is “God the Son” assumes this Name when He came to live on Earth as Man. “Jesus” is a human name, not a divine name. Having understood that the Word is God; in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, John 1: 1, The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…John 1: 14. Here, we can see that the Word became a human being and lived among us. Who is the Word? Jesus Christ! The Word (the Son of God) became flesh (Jesus Christ) and dwelt among us. Only the Person that possesses the Nature of God can have this Glory, John 1: 10-11
The Word became flesh (Jesus Christ); God became a human being and dwelt among us. Jesus was in the world that was made by Him but the world knew Him not. The world rejected Jesus Christ. To reject Him is to reject God, to refuse to come to Him, is to refuse to come to your Creator. To persecute those who believe in Him; and those who pledge loyalty, service, and obedience to Him, is to fight against your Creator. The name ‘Jesus’ was not God’s Eternal Name. That name which means “Saviour” did not exist before mankind came into this world. Before the creation and fall of man, there was no need for salvation or a Saviour. The Name became important because Jesus came into the world to “save His people from their sins.” Indeed, Jesus is an earthly name because there were other people who bore that name. Anybody can bear the name which means “God is our Saviour” or “God is my Saviour.” To refuse Jesus is to refuse God your Maker; the one that gave breathe to you. If you refuse Him, where will you go? If you refuse the One that made this world, where will you go? What is your hope for the future?  
Thought For The Day: The Name Jesus which means “Saviour” did not exist before mankind came into this world. Jesus Christ came because of you.
Song For The Day: Everlasting Father, Everlasting Son, Immortal Holy Ghost……

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...
