Why The Church Becomes Corrupt  Wednesday 1st October Text: Proverbs 22: 17-21  Key verse: Proverbs 19: 18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.  Why did the church become corrupt? The ministers failed to discipline the evil ones who erred and disobeyed. They followed American or European rule that says, “Do not beat your child” and spoilt the congregation. Their members dress anyhow and nobody talks, nobody says anything. Do anything you want to do and come sit down and serve God. Play the drum, sing your song and go. Nobody will say anything. He that spareth the rod spoileth his own child and hates his church members. If you do not discipline, correct or chastise the members of the church, you hate them and you will not go to heaven because you do not want them to have a good future.  Your ministry does not have love that is why you act like...

Discipline In The Tongue   Tuesday 30th September  Text: Proverbs 10: 19; 17: 28.  Key verse: James 1: 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. This entails discipline in the use of your tongue. The Bible says, if any man seemeth religious and bridleth not his tongue, that man’s religion is vain. If any man claims to be spiritual and does not control his tongue, that spirituality is useless. If any man is really anointed, a greatly anointed man or greatly anointed woman and is mouthy; the Bible says that there is no holiness in that person; because in a multitude of words, there wanteth not sin. There is no spirituality in your life actually. Talkative, there is no holiness in your life. You are an empty barrel. Why do you make noise always? They hear your voice here and there. You talk and kee...

Spirituality Is Required, Not Carnality   Friday 19th September  Text: Galatians 1: 10 - 12  Key verse: Psalm 101 verse 3: “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes, I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me”.  The Psalmist here resolved not to appreciate the service of those that turn away, who live in sin and hypocrisy. He shall not delight in such service. It is as valueless as a cloud without rain, an empty well without water; valueless! Should we give people flattering titles because they did this and that, and the person is not in Christ? I will not give him an eye of approval or a comment of approval. You that is praying for leadership, and for me “Oh God help Pastor Paul Rika, let this work stand”. Pray in this line too “That at no time should Pastor Paul Rika leave the spiritual for carnality; that at no time should he leave the honour of Jesu...

Walk With A Perfect Heart Tuesday 16 September  Text: Mathew 13: 35 - 37  Key verse: 2 Timothy 3: 17 “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” Be resolved to conduct yourself in utmost piety to justify the doctrine of holiness. It is as the people see you manifest the virtues of righteousness that you will have ministerial authority over them. Then, they can submit. When they see you display what you preach, they will follow you; for Christ has given us an example that we should follow His steps. True holiness is the one that issues from a purified heart and the godly leader must seek sanctification experience and maintain it.  His resolve also shows transparency before all in the private or open, in the family and in the church. “I shall be transparent; my works shall be clear. My people shall not find me with fault; I will be transparent.” Paul...

Falling Down Under Anointing and the Holiness of God  Wednesday 17 September  Text: 2 Timothy 3: 16-17  Key verse: Habakkuk 1:13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity.  It is not a manifestation of God's healing and deliverance power. Above all, our contention is that this manifestation which is so rampant today lacks scriptural authority. Whoever sees this manifesting in his ministry must return to God in prayer and be sober and diligent in his way. Salvation and holiness of life of men is the end of every Christian ministry. There are sufficient scriptural signs and gifts of the Spirit to covet. Manifestations which are not traceable to the scriptures must be rejected.  We cannot deny that people may fall down due to Holy Spirit manifestation in the ministry of a true minister of God. The following may be the cause of some people falling dow...

A Call For God's Divine Presence Monday 15th September  Text: Isaiah 57: 15 - 18   Key verse: Psalms 101 verse 2: “I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way, O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.”  This is a call for God's divine presence, help and support in ministry. David needs wisdom and perfection to win the presence of God in his ministry. God is holy, who will sit with Him on high? Those that are of a contrite spirit, of a humble heart, of a holy heart and of righteousness. Such will be with God, the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous. David wanted God to be with him; and if God must be with him, wisdom and perfection is required. He must be wise so that he can be perfect; then he will gain the presence of God. Otherwise, you will be carrying out Christian leadership as a man running a chemist; or you will be running the C...

Wisdom And Perfection   Sunday 14 September  Text: 2 Chronicles 1: 7 - 12   Key verse: James 3: 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.  David now set before him wisdom and perfection. This is what every minister of God must set before himself. To lead people requires wisdom. Solomon asked for it. Do not forget to ask for this. Wisdom is the principal thing. Therefore, get wisdom and in all thy getting, get understanding. This wisdom must be pure for you to be perfect. Many use wisdom actually but it is the wisdom to do evil, wisdom to cover evil, wisdom to escape with their evil. That is not the wisdom of God. That kind of wisdom is not of God. The wisdom that descended from above is first pure, it is clean and perfect. You need this wisdom...

Working In The Will Of God  Saturday 13th September  TEXT: James 5: 7-11 Key verse: James 5: 8 “Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” Working in the will of God is working by His guidance. God is the One to direct the actions. He is the Captain; we are following Him. He is the One to direct us to the place and position we should take. Working for heaven is working by the guidance of God and by the supply of grace from God. Working not by our own mechanical strength but by the supply of grace. Always look to Him. Jesus Christ said when thou pray, say “Our Father, which art in heaven. Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom, come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Always ask for daily grace for the work He has called you to do that you might do it by His spirit, anointing, guidance and instruction. Always ask fo...

Man; A Great Disappointment To God Thursday 11th September  TEXT: Exodus 32: 1 - 10 Key verse: Exodus 32:7 “And the LORD said unto Moses; Go, get thee down, for thy people, which thou brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.”  The people told Aaron, “Make us gods according to the manner of the gods of the Egyptians.” Do they know that the living God exists? Because He displayed His power among them. Did they know Him as the everlasting God? They know that He does not die. For this God does not die because He was the God that had been with Abraham and with them, a period of more than four hundred years. They knew that He was everlasting. Did they see His miracle power? Ah, they saw everything. They saw hailstones and fire rained down upon Egypt. They saw the judgment of God over Egypt.  They saw the Red Sea dried up and congealed standing as two mighty walls and they ...

The Fruits Of The Lips Of A True And Holy Minister  Wednesday 10 September TEXT: Colossians 4:6   Key verse: Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. The words that come out of him; the words that he speaks, are clean words. ‘He that loves pureness of heart for the fruits of his lips the king shall be his friend.’ When you speak, they see pureness of heart and holiness of life in you. The person that you are relating with will see holiness in you. ‘Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. These are fruits that shows that you are true and holy. Your words are true and can be verified; ten years to come they will not change. Do not say something in the morning and something else by afternoon… “I did not say so. You d...

God Is A God Of Discipline  Tuesday 09 September  Text: 1 Corinthians 5: 1 - 2  Key verse: Proverbs 3: 11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of His correction:  God is a God of discipline otherwise Satan would not have been cast out of heaven. God is a God of discipline otherwise Nebuchadnezzar would not have become an animal in the bush for seven years. God is the God of discipline otherwise Herod would not have been stricken down and eaten by worms immediately. Be ready to discipline the church in righteousness. God is a God of discipline otherwise Barjesus would not have been stricken blind. God is a God of discipline otherwise Miriam would not have had leprosy. He wants us to discipline the church, discipline the people, sanctify His church, and cleanse His church. Every son submits to his father's chastening. If you are a son, you should submit to d...

The Holy Spirit Must Not Be Grieved During Worship Services Monday 08 September Text:  Malachi 1: 6 – 8   Key verse: Ephesians 4: 30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. The worship assembly must submit to the Holy Spirit to guide and direct them throughout the service time. Love must rule the hearts of the worshippers: love for God and for their neighbor. The ministers should minister in love. The worship service must be properly organized, providing for no confusion in the assembly. The practice of going to drop offering in the altar during sermon, ministration in songs, etc, to indicate that one is enjoying the ministration or that the one performing is doing so by the Holy Spirit, does not only lack decency, but serves as a temptation to pride to true ministers who delight in humble service before God.  Besides, the people who do this distr...

Fasting Must Be Done According To Scriptural Pattern  Sunday 07 September Text: Matthew 9:14, 15    Key verse: Jonah 3: 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.  The unrighteous cannot win God's favor or receive His blessing through fasting. If they must fast acceptably, they must accompany their fast with deep sorrow and repentance from their sin. Those whose fasting is acceptable to God are those who are righteous. God expects righteousness and holiness to be exhibited during fasting for His blessing to be released. There are those who fast to let people know of their ability to fast. The Lord warns against this, because it has no reward. The glory they receive from men is their reward. God has no blessing to give them for their outward show. The local church should tea...

Praise God For His Lovingkindness, Mercy And Faithfulness  Saturday 06 September Text: Psalm 36:5-10   Key verse: Jeremiah 31:3 “The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”  God is a lover. He loves us with an everlasting love. What great love He has shown us to make us His sons and daughters, to share with us His life and glory! He is merciful. His mercy endures forever. He is patient and forgiving. He pardons our transgressions and restores us when we fall. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son. The Lord Jesus gave His life for us and has given us eternal inheritance. The Holy Spirit fills us with love; our heart is filled with love and joy as we meditate on the Father, on the Lord Jesus and on the Holy Spirit. God is fait...

God's Presence And Peace In The Assembly   Friday 5th September  Text: I Corinthians 14: 33, 40 Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14: 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.  God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the three in One God is present at every worship service of believers.  Christian activities must be carried out in the noblest way. The attitude of the worshippers must be that of reverence, joy, sobriety, godly fear and holiness. People do not behave anyhow, speak anyhow, shout irreverently, quarrel or fight in the presence of the king or a great man. They acknowledge his presence with reverence. If they do this to honour a fellow human being, how much more should the assembly of worshipers do so to God. Flamboyant, noisy, ostentatious attitude which seek to promote self and fellow men must be discarded.  Respect of persons, recognition of d...

Revelation of heaven and hell by Sister Linda; Message from the Lord for mankind Thursday 4th September Text: John 14: 23-25   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.” Then Jesus said, ‘I will send you back to the world.’ I started to cry. “Ah! Lord, I don’t want to go again. I don’t want to go.” He looked down at me and said, “I hate selfish children. You did not deserve to be here.” I said, “God, I will obey” He said, “I will give you a message to the world. Your place is hell. You did not do anything for Me. You were a prostitute.” I said, “Lord, I was not a prostitute.” He smiled and said, “See. Your ways and My ways are not the same. You think a prostitute is only a woman that goes down to the beach and waits for men. A man picks her up and has sex with her. Yes, they are prostitutes but let me tell you who I call a prostitute.”...

Revelation of heaven and hell by Sister Linda; Beautiful mansions for soul winners Wednesday 3rd  September Text: Isaiah 52: 6-8    Key verse: John 14:2 “In My Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” “We walked on and I saw many different mansions. I saw some that I liked so much. I asked, “Lord, whose houses are these? I like these houses.” Then Jesus said, “These are My people on earth that evangelize for Me. People that win souls for Me.” I said, ‘Huh, “Lord, just to evangelize and win souls for You?” He said, “Yes but let me tell you the kind of evangelists I Am talking about. They are two types of evangelists on earth; the genuine ones and the false ones. The type of people I Am talking about are those that wake up in the morning and all they want is for Me to be happy. They ask Me for grace to win souls. They bless the ...

Clarity Of Communication   Tuesday 2nd September  Text: 1 Corinthians 14: 7-11 Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14: 40 Let all things be done decently and in order.  Attention must be given to clarity of communication in the worship assembly. The worshippers should be able to hear what is being said clearly. Except the words spoken are clearly heard, they are of no benefit and have no effect on the worshippers. The preacher, teacher or communicator must speak in understandable language and with clear voice. His speech must not be too fast. The grammar used must not be above the capacity of the audience. His pronunciation must not be blurred. In an assembly where not all in the congregation are well educated, he must select his words to ensure he is simple enough for people to understand him.  Some preachers preach to entertain themselves, not minding whether the audience understands them or ...
