Believers Do Not Encourage Sin (1)         Tuesday 1st April Text:  Romans 1:29-32 Key verse: Let us not, therefore, judge one another anymore: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. Romans 14:13  To put a stumbling block in your brother's way is to encourage sin. Do not encourage sin by pairing a lady and man together, sending them together for an assignment; to where they could be alone, when they are not husband and wife. Do not pay people salary that cannot feed them; you would be encouraging stealing. It would be better not to employ them than to pay them salary that will cause them to contemplate stealing, because the salary cannot sustain them.  Do not create opportunities that can cause people to sin. Do not lay a stumbling block that will cause another to sin. For example, you gave someone money to...

Beware Of Complication From Unequal Yoke In Marriage           Monday 31st March Text: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18  Key verse: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them, thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. Deuteronomy 7:3 Thank God that He is not a man, otherwise the complications human beings give Him are much. They carry all these along as they come to Christ. Well, He saves those He can save according to the conditions they can meet and allows others to reap the results of their wrong choices because He did not ask them to marry in the wrong way. Whatever a man sows, he shall reap. You have to travail for yourself because you have done something wrong. You have to come and plead, pray, and cry, even for yourself first and then for your partner. Do so before God, perhaps He may save your partner. Now, we have gotten th...

The Evils Of Dancing In The Church Assembly (2) Text: Leviticus 18:1-5.  Sunday 30th March Key verse: Jeremiah 2:11- Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.      Dancing in the church corrupts the believers: Dancing as an act of the flesh has the tendency to stir pride within the heart. The more one dances, the more he or she will want to develop his dance to improve it. New styles are being developed to dance for excellence, self-satisfaction, and human commendation. Since the believer is dancing among unbelievers in the church, who he considers as fellow believers and worshippers, he learns their styles and flows along with them in fleshly pleasure to the corruption of the inward man. The worship of God is in spirit and truth. Excellence in dancing is not excellence in righteousness. Such rather affe...

Key verse: They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Jeremiah 6:14.     Church dance provides an opportunity for sinners to dance for Satan: The sinners who come to the church are already used to worldly music and dancing in cultural and disco dance for sensual pleasure. When the opportunity opens for them to dance in the church, they recall the skills, pleasures, techniques, powers, and styles already gained from worldly music and dancing. Their excellent dance in the church, in the name of praise and worship of God, is really not for the Lord, but for the honour and sensual pleasure of themselves. This is pollution to God's temple. They dance for devils at parties and dance for God in the church! Is it true that the...

The Wonders, Power, And Glory Of God        Friday 28th March Text: Psalm 139: 1-6 Key Verse: God has spoken once; twice have I have heard this; that power belongeth unto God, Psalm 62:11 God is our Father, Savior, and Sustainer. He gave existence to us. When you look at His creation, you will see coordination, perfection, beauty and glory; you will marvel at His power and wonder at His wisdom, knowledge and understanding. The angels have spent eternity wondering about Him. They praise and bow before Him in total worship. When God came into this earth in human form, in the person of Jesus Christ, the disciples, especially the twelve that were always with Him, spent their time marveling. They were wondering about His Works. They saw His commanding authority; His acts of mercy; the manifestation of His authority over demons and Satan; they saw His healing power and continued to wonder....

The Redemptive Tittles Of Jesus  Thursday 27th March Text: Galatians 4: 3-5 Key Verse: Jesus said unto him, I am the Way the Truth and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me, John 14: 6 Jesus was not a Saviour until man sinned, so, it was necessity that brought God to the world as Saviour. God was not a Saviour until there came sin, Satan and death to be saved from. He was God in Eternity; Mighty One, who is self-existent. Jesus was born into the world over 2000 years ago and grew up into manhood, just like every other person, but this Man was different from everyone else. He was not an ordinary man. When God became man for the purpose of salvation, He assumed many names and many titles, to serve a special purpose which can be summarized as follows:  The Rescuer: To rescue mankind from Satan’s power. For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which is lost, Luke 19:10; Colossia...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Dressing Of The Godly Woman  Sunday 23rd March Text: 1 Timothy 2: 9-10.  Key verse: But let it be the hidden man of the heart in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 1 Peter 3: 4.  Dressing as a godly woman is very important. As a Christian woman, the way you dress matters because, “Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord.” Many believe that God looks inside the heart only and is not concerned with the outward, but the Lord has covered His face from us because of our sinful outward dressing and lifestyle. The Lord is not happy with the way we live our lives. The Bible, emphasizing the holiness of life, says that the women of old, adorn themselves: nice, clean, fine, but in modest, and godly apparel with shamefacedness. You should cover your body well so that no part will be exposed to make you ashamed. Cover yo...

Only Fornication Can Separate Marriage  Saturday 22nd March Text: Deuteronomy 24:1-4 Key verse: For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. Romans 7:2. In the New Testament, there is no chance for divorce. Divorce and remarriage is only allowed in the case of fornication and not adultery, because someone who is already married does not commit fornication but adultery. The Bible gives an account of a woman who was caught in adultery, and they brought her to Jesus. They said, “Moses commanded that we should stone her with stones until she dies.” It is even above divorce. And Jesus said, “He that is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her. You caught her in adultery; where is the man she committed the act with? You caught the woman and did not bring the man?” Be...

Galatians 6:16. Marital restitution in the New Testament involves only the husband and the wife, who were wrongly married. This does not include the children; the children remain his own. He remains the father of the children. In the Old Testament, children were also involved. In the case of Isaac and Ishmael, God knew there would be confusion and rivalry between them. For the child of promise is Isaac. Why should there be a rival? Why should there be confusion for the child that I have chosen? See, Ishmael is already mocking. How will the future be? Get him out, so that Isaac can have a smooth running, and fulfill My plan. That was specific in that case, not in general cases. So, restitution does not ...

Cornelius: A Committed But Ignorant Worshipper (2)  Thursday 20th March Text: Isaiah 55:6- 7  Key verse: Also, that a soul be without knowledge, it is not good. Proverbs 19:2. Are you in illegal possession of someone’s property? Restore such to the rightful owner. Are you in a wrong marriage or “divorce and remarriage” situation? Repent and withdraw from such an ungodly relationship. Are you living in willful sin? Repent, forsake such sins, and turn to God. Make right your wrongs. Sin committed unknowingly is the commandment of God broken or transgressed in ignorance, and is subject to divine penalty, unless pardon is sought for, in Christ and, where required, restitution is carried out. God is no respecter of persons. Hence, do not reject or ignore the sound teaching of God's word that will reveal your sins to you, for your thorough cleansing and holiness in Christ. The Lord commands this concerni...

Cornelius: A Committed But Ignorant Worshipper (1) Text: Acts 10:1-6  Wednesday 19th March  Key Verse: A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. Acts 10:2 In the scripture above, we understand that Cornelius was a devout, generous, and prayerful man, who feared God with all his house; yet he was ignorant of what he needed to do, to get his name in the Book of Life, and save himself and his family from eternal damnation. Although he was committed to the worship of God, Cornelius' understanding of God's requirement for salvation from sin and eternal life, was very shallow and was based on observance of the Old Testament laws. He was not aware that justification was no more by law but by faith in Jesus Christ. God saw the sincerity of Cornelius and sent an angel to him to instruct him on what he needed to do, to get right ...

The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...

Avoid Chasing Shadows In Your Prayers (2)  Sunday 16th March Text: Galatians 3:1-5  Key verse: And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Matthew 28:18. Satan has raised ministers to preach him and his power, so that his fear and dread should fill the church. This makes the believer always Satan-conscious. His faith in Christ weakens, because Satan is made to be more powerful than what is known of him in scripture. The irony is that the more a person engages himself in battle against Satan, the more Satan occupies him with himself to keep him from enjoying the peace and joy of Jesus Christ. The more Jesus-conscious a person is by praise, worship, and fellowship with Him, the less Satan gains access to him to engage him in battle. The church, which is demon-conscious, and spends its time binding demons in major portion of the worship service, will h...

Avoid Chasing Shadows In Your Prayers (1)  Saturday 15th March Text: Revelation 2: 24-29 Key verse: But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine. Titus 2: 1 The praise and worship of Jesus as Lord of lords, King of kings, the Captain of our salvation and the Bishop of our souls, should fill our prayers, exhortation and sermons. Alas, it is not so in many churches today. Instead of Christ-consciousness, there is Satan-consciousness in many Christians and ministers. Believers are made to fear and respect Satan above God. It is as though the victory of Jesus over Satan was not complete; or that the believer has to carry out some ceremonial rites in addition to the victory of Jesus, in order to be free from Satan's power.  Believers are told that a curse is still upon them: The curse of their parents, family, village, tribe, or ancestors are still upon them. They are told that these curses ar...

Testimonies Of Senator Emmanuel Bwacha: Restitution Beautifies The gospel (2) Text: Philemon 15-19        Friday 14th March Key verse: If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. Philemon 17. Thirdly, I was once Chairman of House of Representatives Committee for Police Affairs. I remembered the wrong things we did, and those things were haunting me. For example, the kind of bribes they will bring to you; before you do anything, money is given. So, I went to see the IGP. When I was serving then, he was quite a young officer but had risen to Inspector General of Police (IGP) at that time. He was very familiar with me, and he said, “Oga, is there anything, my Chairman?” I told him I had come to him on a different matter. Then I said to him, “Do you remember this, this, and this event?” Incidentally, he knew some of these things. I told him, “Now my eyes are opened. You are t...

God’s Sovereign Choice Of Pastor Paul Rika (2)  Wednesday 12th March Text: Genesis 7:1-5 Key verse: And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. Genesis 7:5. Just as GOD chose Noah in the days of old to build the ark as seen in the text, so has He chosen Pastor Paul Rika as the End-time revivalist, to revive holiness, righteousness, and truth in His church worldwide, and has directed all Christians and denominations in the world to be under his mentorship, learn and practice complete holiness in life and doctrine. Do not feel that you have better ideas, superior arguments, or better alternatives, because it is best to, always know and do the will of God. Do not feel too big to succumb or feel that some General Overseers or Bishops are too great to be under the mentorship of God's chosen servant, Pastor Paul Rika. Although, you are entitled to your personal opinion, choice, and decisi...

God’s Sovereign Choice Of Pastor Paul Rika (1)  Tuesday 11th March Text: Genesis 6: 1-8 Key verse: And the LORD said unto Noah, come thou and all thy house into the Ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Genesis 7:1 The choice of Noah to build the ark came from GOD and not any other authority. Men should avoid carnal scrutiny and human arguments about the decisions and choices of God, in carrying out Divine assignments, because they are unprofitable and can never alter God's program. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so is the Creator exceedingly wiser, greater, and higher than the wisest and smartest of all men. God had planned in the ages and dispensations before He made heaven and earth. Isaiah 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”  God by His Divine plan, raises a man in e...

Many Churches Are In Darkness                 Sunday 9th March Text: 2 Timothy 3:1-7 Key verse: And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2 Peter 2:2 Pastors now do various evils in the church, even killing their members. A pastor poisoned a drum of water and called the members by families to drink it. He told them that it was time to go to heaven and as each family drank it, they died. Brethren, these are days of bad tidings. The perilous times foretold by the Scripture are here with us. When it came to the pastor's turn to drink with his family, he ran away with his family. You have been saved. Your eyes have been opened to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. They have all been under the power of Satan. The power and inspiration they use, is of Satan. Men take securit...

True And Holy Believers Are Debtors  Saturday 8th March Text: Romans 1:13-15 key verse: I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. Romans 1:14 It is our responsibility, who have been saved and know the Lord, His word and His ways, and walk in His righteousness and holiness, to make sinners know God in righteousness and holiness, so that they too can inherit eternal life. We have become responsible by the very knowledge of the truth, and by the very discovery we have made.  Apostle Paul said, “I am a debtor. I owe much because of all these ignorant Christians and unbelievers that surround me. They are waiting for me. All these Christians that do not know the true word of God are waiting for me. All these ministers and those ones that are fervent in spirit but have spots in their lives are waiting for me. I am a debtor.” The case of the church is like ...

Do Not Settle For The Permissive Will Of God In Marriage   Text: Numbers 24:14-22         Friday 7th March Key Verse: There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12 God knows how to allow people have their own way. The prodigal son’s father allowed his son, not according to his will. If he did not allow him, the young man would not give him peace. Eventually his son would affect others. God is a witness that Balaam was stopped but he refused. He was chastised but he refused to listen, so he was allowed. God allowed Balaam to go and do his own will. God would still be glorified. Balaam went to hell, but the virtuous words and inspiration of Balaam remained for our righteousness. God can allow you to marry a sinner to your hurt, because of your disobedience. You may end up in hell, but God would remain faithful as a Go...

The Nature Of God In Man  Thursday 6th March Text: Genesis 1: 26-27 Key Verse: Let us make man in our image, Genesis 1: 26 When someone is walking, how many persons are walking? It is a composite of three distinct components: body, soul and spirit. The three components of man walking are united into one. You only see one person but inside him are three components, separate and distinct. The body serves as a “container” for the soul and spirit. The body is the material or physical structure of a human being, while the soul and spirit are his immaterial components, which cannot be seen or touched The Doctrine of Trinity is the coexistence of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the unity of the Godhead. Father is in the Son and in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit is in the Father and the Son, and the Son is in the Father and in the Holy Spirit, yet these three separate Persons are actually One Person.

Spiritual Gifts Are Manifested For Edification Of The Church Text: 1 Corinthians 12:7-11             Wednesday 5th March Key verse: And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. Acts 2:43. God has given spiritual gifts to believers in the body of Christ, to edify one another. The local church in the apostolic time provided the opportunity for the manifestation of these gifts, to the glory of God. Through the gift of healing, the sick ones were healed and the oppressed delivered. The gifts of faith and miracles were also in operation to glorify God in the worship service. Other gifts such as the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, prophecy, discerning of spirit, diverse kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues, had their place in the worship service for the edification of believers.  These gifts manifested in the church b...

Principles of Rewardable Christian Giving   Tuesday 4th March Text: Romans 12: 1-2 Key verse: And this they did not as we hoped but first gave their own selves to the Lord and unto us by the will of God. 2 Corinthians 8: 5 God is a rewarder of righteous works. Biblical principles must be followed for what is given to God, to be accepted and rewarded by Him. God will not recognize or bless the gifts that come from sinful principles or from sinners. Ministers of the gospel must have a just cause to raise offering, and must do so in a scriptural way. The people who give to God or fellowmen must do so out of a true and clean motive. Without compliance to God's righteous principles, our gift is an abomination to God. No minister has the power to confer divine blessing on an impure gift or impure giver. The following are the principles of rewarding Christian giving.  a: The giver must be a child of ...

Wanted In Our Generation, David To Defeat Goliath In Christianity  Text: 1 Samuel 17: 4, 8 - 11   Monday 3rd March Key verse: And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? 1 Samuel 17:29 Christianity suffers much reproach because darkness fills the world. The world has forgotten God. The Church too is forgetting God, because the activities of Satan, demons, and satanic agents among men have put the church under challenge. God is looking for people to revive the church and restore holiness. From our text, the army of Israel could not help the situation, so, the Lord sent a youth to handle the situation. God is looking for people to send to communities, to deliver them from satanic terror, challenge, and bondage. God needs people to send to denominations, to challenge the spirits mocking the people of God and deliver them from bondage. You may see congregations worshipping, making ...

Caution Against Physical Beauty-Mindedness   Sunday 2nd March Text: 2 Corinthians 7:1  Key verse: Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fear the LORD, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30 Women should not set their minds on achieving external beauty through worldly plaiting of hair, wearing of gold (jewelry), and putting on of apparel. Let women seek the beauty of the inner man of the heart, which is not corruptible. This beauty is manifested in a holy woman through meekness and a quiet spirit. This is the beauty which is of a great price in the sight of God.  This was how the holy women of old adorned themselves, being subject to their husbands. Women who do well in righteousness and holiness are the daughters of Sarah.  Christian women are being led away from physical beauty-mindedness to inward beauty-mindedness. The items which promote physical beauty are warne...
