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...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. 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 Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
