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 enforced; without doing it you will be disciplined. Many people obeyed as robots. Life was not there. Outside deeper life they will drop everything and move their own way, saying, “Thank God I have come out of bondage.” They did not value this treasure. They did not know eternal life was in the message of holiness. Many did not understand. It was a powerful burden in my heart. “Lord, how do I do it that people will go to heaven?” 
I saw another hindrance. You could not then come out of deeper life and go to other churches and preach. You are restricted. Everybody must come to deeper life. Then how will I get everybody to come to deeper life? It will not work. What do we do? It was a burden. At a time, I started to record messages in various languages of the world. I will preach it the best way I could as somebody in deeper life, who did not have the authority by the way. I would do it privately and send these messages in all languages of the world and I began. I was in a region in Plateau State then but how feeble could that be. How far could I go? I knew the churches of Christ had not understood the message. The Bible was not clear to the people and what they were doing will never take them to heaven. God needed holiness and perfection but they never had the idea of holiness or the vision of perfection before them and I know God will not change His standard. Then what do we do? It was a powerful situation.

Thought for the day: I knew the churches of Christ had not understood the message. 

Song for the day: Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me

Bible reading for the day: Mark 4-5

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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
