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 man, etc, need to develop faith on these anointed handkerchiefs and aprons. 
Some Assemblies organize special service where the worshippers are told to come with their handkerchiefs to be prayed upon. Some other Assemblies or ministers sell anointed handkerchiefs and aprons, and holy water to the afflicted ones with the promise of divine healing, deliverance, protection and prosperity. Church members are made to believe that clothes, shoes and other items used by their ministers are anointed and can transmit spiritual blessings. 
People struggle to touch these materials or to use them. Many struggle to seat on the chair their ministers sat on, to sleep on the bed the slept on, etc. These things are not in the spirit of the New Testament church which doctrine and practice is handed down to us in the Holy Scripture. Miracles through anointed handkerchiefs and aprons and other physical objects practiced by many churches and ministers today have adverse effects on the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith is a key factor in religion. This practice wars against true faith in God in the hearts of men. 

Thought for the day: Miracles through physical objects practiced by many churches and ministers today have adverse effects on the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ 

Song for the day: The blood of Jesus sets me free, from sin and sorrow

Bible reading for the day: Luke 5-6

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...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. 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...
