Wisdom And Holiness Should Go Together.  Saturday 1st November  TEXT: Job 28: 20 - 28 Key verse: Job 28: 28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. The highway of wisdom and the highway of holiness have joined together It is actually one highway taking us to heaven by God Himself. God is holy. God is wisdom. To meet Him in heaven, let Him reveal His holiness to you. To live successfully on earth, invite Him, He will take you to the corners of the earth because He made the earth. God wants you to have His fullness. He said, the world is saying they cannot find where this wisdom is. Destruction and death say we heard how wisdom delivered many people from our hands but we do not have him here.  Wisdom, we saw it. We heard the fame thereof. And what is wisdom righteousness. The fear of the Lord. To depart from evil. That is ...

Take The Evil Man Out Of The Pulpit  Friday 31st October  Text: 2 Timothy 4: 14 - 15  Key verse: Exodus 18: 21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: The scripture reveals that there are categories of sinners whose mouths must be stopped. This refers to evil speakers; people who do not have the truth but are always contrary. If you give them a message to preach, they will preach their errors. Do not give such people message again. Their mouths must be stopped. Do not appoint them as leaders. Do not appoint a leader because of his dignity. His educational attainment or his charitable life. No, do not do that. Appoint leaders who have the truth with them. You might have even seen that a person has no trut...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies  Remember Jesus In His Crucifixion   Thursday 30th October  TEXT: Psalm 77:1-13 Key verse: Luke 23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? Jesus was crucified on the cross. Remember His painful cries because of great weights of human sin and wickedness. Jesus, who was God in the flesh cried because of pain. Not because of any weapon or energy of men because of the load of human sin. He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Sorrows and pain in His life because of the sins of men. Would you think to add one more sorrow to Him by immorality? Would you want to add more to that sorrowful Savior; add more strokes and say it is not enough for Him by going into witchcraft, idolatry and pleasures of flesh? Do you want to smite Jesus again? Do you not pity Jesus? Do you want Him to cry? You say His cry is not eno...

Discipline In Friendship And Association   Tuesday 28th October  Text: Genesis 34: 1-2 Key verse: Proverbs 13: 20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.  Some of your old friends are very nice and jovial. They look loving to you but they do not love Jesus; they do not want Him, they are not ready for Him. What then makes them precious to you that you always visit them, always allow them to visit you? Have you forgotten the word of God? Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. You may say when he comes, he actually makes me laugh; in fact, he shows me real love. Is there true love from a person who does not love his Creator? If he does not love God, do you think he can love you? Discipline yourself to cut off associations and friendships with people that do not know the Lord. Let it just be as you are in the world living in...

Do Not Engage In Back to Sender Prayer   Monday 27th October  Text: 2 Chronicles 14:13, 14 Key verse: Matthew 5: 48 “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Back to sender is another kind of prayer some misguided people often make for the plague sent against them to go back to whoever sent it. This is not only a display of ignorance but rebellion. Many plagues sent against sinners and backsliders come from God Who intends to bring them to repentance, righteousness and holiness. When you see a plague in your life, you cannot quickly say, ‘Back to sender’. You may be sending the plague back to God! The first thing to do is to examine yourself whether you have sinned to warrant God allowing such affliction to come upon you. If the Holy Spirit brings your sins before you, what you need to do is to confess your sins to God and repent of them. Then you can as...

Devastating Effects of Strange Practices in Christianity (2) Saturday 25th October Text: Deuteronomy 4:15, 16, 19    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.  V: It is recourse to the usual temptation of natural men on earth who always seek to represent the living God with a physical object. This is the cause of idolatry among men on earth! These handkerchiefs and physical objects prayed upon are carefully kept and jealously preserved by church members, both sinners and believers. They are the first thing to resort to in times of need. These 'anointed' substances are often the objects of heartfelt love, reverence, and adoration. Their presence in the family is as the presence of God. Although those who practice this still think that they are worshipping the living God, they have actually slipped into idolatr...

Devastating Effects of Strange Practices in Christianity (1) Friday 24th October  Text: Galatians 1: 6-9   Key verse: Psalms 115: 11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: He is their help and their shield. I: This practice shifts the faith of worshippers and seekers of divine blessing from God to a physical substance. To them, it is the physical object; the handkerchief, and apron that matters and not the word of God, the name of Jesus, and the blood of Jesus. To them, the anointed handkerchief, or whatever physical object promoted, carries the power that is in the name of Jesus, the word of God, the blood of Jesus. This then is another gospel which was not preached to us by the apostles and conveys another spirit which is not the spirit of Christianity. The curse of God rests on those who preach this strange gospel in the name of the Lord, by word or practice. II: It prevents the salv...

Unique manifestations of the Holy Spirit (2)  Thursday 23rd October  Text: Acts 5: 14-16 Key verse: Acts 5: 14 “And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.” Had handkerchiefs and apron from Paul kept healing the sick, their faith would have rested on those physical objects of power than on the word God that can save their souls. God made this miraculous manifestation of His power very brief in the ministry of Paul and did not bestow it on any other. Today in the church, the use of handkerchiefs and aprons has become a strong doctrine.  Ministers of the gospel now pray on handkerchiefs to anoint them so they can perform miracles. Those who are oppressed take or send handkerchiefs to ministers to pray on them. Not only the sick now, but those who desire prosperity, special answer to prayer, protection, victory over their enemies, special favor from God or...

Unique manifestations of the Holy Spirit (1)  Wednesday 22nd October  Text: Acts 19: 11-13 Key verse: Acts 19:11 “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul.” There were several unique manifestations of the Holy Spirit recorded in the scriptures. The apostles did not teach on any of these unique miracles in order to stir faith in the believers for them. None attempted to pray over little quantity of food, to multiply it for multitudes in a gospel meeting, as Jesus did. No disciple attempted to command water to turn to wine, as Jesus did. God can cause any of them to occur again in the ministry of any servant of His in His discretion and sovereign decision. These special manifestations of the Holy Spirit were also seen in the Acts of the Apostles. Such include the following, A: The shadow of Peter healed the sick. B: The Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip after having baptized the ...

Principles of Rewardable Christian Giving   Tuesday 21st October  Text: 2 Samuel 6: 10-12 Key verse: Exodus 25: 2 “Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring m=Me an offering, of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take My offering.” The righteous 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 rewa...

Jesus Is Your Healer And Deliverer  Monday 20th October  TEXT: 1 Peter 2: 21-25 Key verse: 1 Peter 2: 22 “Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth.” When you desire healing and deliverance from satanic affliction and attack, you use personal effort, medical effort and drugs. You try other means but you forget Jesus. Child of God, how could you forget Jesus? Bring back Jesus to your active memory. The Lord that saved you is with you. Remember Jesus at that time. Some of these drugs may not work well or may delay. You worry, cry and get discouraged because you forget that Jesus is the Healer and Deliverer. Jesus is the supreme Healer. He is the deliverer. He heals using or not using drugs. He heals in all the terms of healing. He heals in all the perfection of healing. His healing is presently available.  Remember Jesus at the time of your sickness; He is the deliverer so turn to...

Satan Uses Seductive Dressing To Defile Men             Sunday 19th October  TEXT: Genesis 38: 13-19  Key verse: Genesis 38: 15 “And when Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot, because she had covered her face.” Ungodly dressing and adornment destroy the sense of holiness, shamefacedness and sobriety in women. It hinders perfection in a believer's life. Many true preachers called by God have been destroyed by indecent dresses of their members. There are instances where a pastor sleeps with his members or rapes a person. Many believers have been destroyed by seductive dressing. This was one of the ways that Satan destroyed churches and it is still happening in our time. When true believers who want to serve God in holiness associate with people with indecent dressing and lifestyle, they either copy them or lust after it. Then Satan destroys them by that...

Have A Right Attitude Towards God’s Word  Saturday 18th October  Text: 1 Corinthians 14: 24-26  Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? When ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine.  From our key verse, a psalm or a doctrine is the word of God. Some stand on the doctrine alone, to know only doctrine, the teaching of God’s word but every one of you has a psalm; even as you sing, you sing the word. You have a doctrine which is gotten from the written scriptures. Tongues and interpretation are prophetic while revelation is the revealed word. These are the forms the word takes. It says as you come to service, you will see various manifestations of the word of God.  Give place to it. Do not refuse singing; it is the word of God ministering to people. The doctrine quoted from scripture is the written word. Then tongues and interpretation of ton...

The Value of Revelations   Friday 17th October  TEXT: Exodus 32: 7 - 8 Key verse: Exodus 32: 11 “And Moses besought the Lord his God and said, Lord, why doth Thy wrath wax hot against Thu people, which Thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand.” Except that God revealed the shocking backsliding of Israel to Moses, he would not have believed. ‘Aaron cannot allow that.’ It was Aaron that requested for the gold earrings to make an idol for them. ‘But I have other people there. How could they all compromise?’ Nobody, except you for this holiness. Stand strong Moses because the people’s hearts are faulty; if any of them will reach heaven, it will be through you. As you see them, the devil can terrify them and human pressure can overcome them. If you are not there, the hope for your people is very slim. Nay, there is no hope. ‘Get thee down, they have qu...

Maintain A Closer Walk With Jesus  Thursday 16th October  TEXT: 1 Timothy 1: 12-15 Key verse: 1 Timothy 2: 3 “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.” How can you see more excellency of Jesus when He is not constantly in your mind? You say you are married to Jesus but there are distances between you. You are a child of God but there are distances between you and God. You begin to try to view who this Jesus is. Like the woman whose husband has gone to America for years, so the wife is working hard, O this man, how does he look like? Whenever he is laughing how does he appear? Because time has disfigured that man before that woman. She cannot actually think very well. That’s how it is. You are serving Jesus unconsciously. Good, you are serving Him, but He wants you to serve Him knowingly.  Serve Jesus with understanding. Be with Him now. Walk with Him. Stay with Him, ...

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...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (1) Tuesday 14th October TEXT: Titus 2: 11-14   Key verse: Titus 2:14 “Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto Himself, a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”  As a member of deeper life, God granted me understanding of the scriptures and knowledge of holiness. Outside deeper life, other churches where in ignorance; not knowing the message of holiness. What they practiced was below hundred percent. Everywhere in all churches, the dressing of the women was not heavenly. I saw the jewelries and the dancing going on and knew that the Holy Ghost was not there. I saw the ungodly lives of the people and said, “Something must happen to the churches of the world if God will get people to heaven.” Even within deeper life, many lacked the conviction of holiness. The doctrines were enfor...

Emphasize Holiness In Dressing And Adornment For Believers Monday 13th October  TEXT: Titus 3: 3-7                                                  Key verse: Titus 2:11 “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.” During a conference, the Lord gave a revelation message to Sister Linda. He said, “Many damned souls are still entering hell fire today because of ungodly dressing. Satan has chosen this area to defile many in My house and in the world at large. This part of My doctrine has been neglected by many preachers of the gospel and believers worldwide. Tell Pastor Paul Rika and the leaders here” As He was talking, He called out three sisters that were in the conference. He drew my attention to the styles on their hands. He said “What is the signi...

Cooperate With God To keep His House Clean and Holy  Saturday 11th October  Text: Titus 2: 1-8  Key verse: Titus 2: 6 “Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.” You are commanded to add personal and church discipline to your ministry. The other leaders too who work with the minister should not exempt themselves from this act but cooperate with the minister to keep the brethren from sin and evil and to keep the church from being contaminated. Do you not see people committing sin in the church, doing evil, bringing death and damnation to the church? God opened your eyes to see as Phinehas; to see that man bringing the woman to the camp for immorality and you said nothing about it. Your Christianity is gone; your name is out of the book of life. You are no more a Christian in the sight of God. The zeal of the church of God is not in your life.  You do not have godly jealousy over th...

Danger Of Ignoring Discipline   Friday 10 October  Text: 1 Samuel 2: 22-25  Key verse: Proverbs 23: 13 “Withold not correction from the child; for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.” New converts do not know the way; they sometimes do something else but if you bring discipline, correction, chastisement, rebuke, it will correct them. They are now in Christ and in the church. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child. But if you say, “No, do not tamper with him because he is a new convert. Do not touch him else you will discourage him, then you are training him in foolishness. When he grows, he shall remain in that life and you cannot change him again.  Discipline saves a person from hell. If you do not discipline him, you are sending him to hell. If you are afraid of the people or pity and spare them then you are sending them to hell. You will go to hell yourse...

The Unscriptural Use Of Anointing Oil Today   Thursday 9th October  Text: Luke 10: 33-35 Key verse: Luke 11:28 “But He said, yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”  Christianity today has upgraded the use of anointing oil and given it a place that is strange to the holy Bible, the Old and New Testaments. Many 'Apostles' and 'Bishops' of our generation pray over olive oil and confer on it extraordinary power that God has not conferred on it. The Christianity of our generation and many of her ministers see nothing impossible with anointing oil. Anointing oil today has universal usage and possesses almighty power. It is seen as having the power to do anything desired, provide anything desired, and defeat all categories of demons and human enemies; it can give divine success, divine favour and breakthrough: it can inspire the tongue for convincing talk; it ...

Give with a Cheerful Heart   Wednesday 08 October  Text: 1 Timothy 6: 17 - 19  Key verse: John 14:14 “If ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it.” Offering is that which one gives to God during worship service, usually in cash, after the tithe has been removed. The amount given is not fixed as in tithe, but is based on what the worshipper has and is able to give willingly to God in material expression of thanksgiving, honour and worship. Offering during worship service is not restricted to cash. Whatever one is led to give in offering to God can be given,  Giving to the poor and needy is an important commandment of the scripture. The poor are among us in the society and in the church. There are brethren who require help in one way or the other due to the situations of life in the world we live. These need to be supported. The rich in the church should give generously to su...

Promote Righteous And Holy Living Above Fasting   Tuesday 7th October  Text: Mark 11:22-24   Key verse: James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  Exalt the discipline of knowing God's word and obeying it above fasting. Exalt holy and righteous living above marathon fasts. Build a good prayer life. Develop your faith by studying the word of God. Know the promises of God and the testimonies of His power in the scriptures. Study the testimonies of His power in post Bible times and listen to the testimonies of His power in contemporary time. Your faith in God will be strong and you will enjoy answers to your prayers. Although the New Testament did not indicate by doctrine or practice the number of days fasting may be observed at a stretch, when you are persuaded ...

Praise God For Salvation, Healing, Deliverance, Prosperity And Many Blessings  Saturday 4th October Text: Psalm 18: 48, 49   Key verse: Psalm 13:6 “I will sing unto the LORD, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.” God's blessings are numerous: salvation from sin, deliverance from evil, healing from sickness, protection from danger, provision for our needs, answer to our prayers, judgement against our enemies; restoration, revival, renewal, and spiritual refreshing of our lives. He gives us wisdom, knowledge and understanding. He daily loads us with benefits. His goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our life. He anoints our head with the oil of His Spirit and our cup runs over. Hallelujah! Let the psalmists lead us to praise, thank and bless the Lord for His salvation, deliverance and numerous blessings in our lives and in the lives of the sons of men.  Every day begins an...

Revelation of heaven and hell by Sister Linda; I Am sending you back to the world  Friday 3rd October  Text: Jude 1: 19-23  Key verse: Jude 1: 22 “And of some have compassion, making a difference.” The Lord said, “Tell My people that any bishop, minister or pastor’s wife that puts on Jezebel’s property will not see My face. Any woman putting on trousers, eyelashes, false hair, unnatural hairdo, earrings, gold teeth, tattoos, false fingernails or bleaching the skin will not see Me. Those that tint, dye, perm their hair, or stretch it to look light and nice will not see My face. Tell women to take away their fashion because it is not of Me. Go and tell Catholics that are worshipping idols. They are cultic and not of Me. Go and tell Jehovah’s Witnesses with their false doctrine that they are not of Me. Tell white garment churches that they are not of Me.  My daughter, I Am sending you ba...

Revelation of heaven and hell by Sister Linda; My sheep hear My voice Thursday 2nd October  Text: John 10: 25-29  Key verse: John 10: 28 “And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.” He said, “You saw how they tortured you in hell. I was here watching because you deliberately refused to believe that these things are not for My children. That is why I made them to torture you, My daughter. I will show you the founder of these Jezebel properties. Go and tell them: Any pastor or pastor’s wife, any member, any one of Me that says they are following Christ, anyone that is putting on the property of Jezebel, that are carrying the property of Satan will never enter My kingdom. Go and tell them, because I will say to them, ‘I know you not.’ Nobody that is defiled will enter My kingdom.”  He said, “Many change their colour with bl...
