Emulate Apostle Paul's Exemplary Life In Christian Life And Ministry

Saturday 24th January 

Text: 1 Timothy 3: 10-14
Key Verse: Those things which ye have both learned, and received and heard and seen in me do and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4: 9
Apostle Paul lived an exemplary life in Christian ministry. In today's key verse, we see Paul boldly commenting his lifestyle as a Christian leader to his followers. He was clearly declaring this because his conscience bore him witness that he lived a life that was 100% pleasing to God and worthy of emulation. His conscience bore him witness that there was no secret sin or anything that could bring reproach to the name of the Lord in his life. Acts 24:16 "And herein do I exercise myself to have always a Conscience void of offense toward God and toward men.” As Paul was following Christ wholeheartedly, he was dragging people along with him. It means if you too can take the lead in your Christian life, others will follow. Paul's life became a standard measure of good behaviour and godliness. In the key verse, Paul was saying, “I have demonstrated my life before you, those things you have seen in me and learned from me, follow them; they will take you to heaven.” If you continue in them, you will see God's presence in your life and ministry. You will see God's performing and doing wonders in your life and ministry. You will see people’s lives change through your ministry. You will see divine blessings flow to you.
2 Tim 3:14 "But Continue thou in the things which thou has leaned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.” In this Scripture, Paul is telling Timothy that even though he may not have full understanding of everything, just follow because you know the lifestyle of those people. You can see the sincerity and truth in them. Paul was admonishing Timothy confidently on his life and devotion to God’s truth, holiness and righteousness, and encouraging him to follow in his steps. Paul's standard of like is worthy of emulation by every true believer. A life that sets good example for others and draws them to Christ. We need fervent consistent prayers with strict determination to attain unto God's standard set for us.

Thought For The Day: The standard of God is very high, we must strive to attain

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...
