Judas Iscariot: The Unfaithful Apostle

Wednesday 1st April 

Text: Matthew 26: 47-50
Key Verse: Matthew 26: 54 "But how then shall the scripture be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"
Judas Iscariot was one of the apostles of Jesus Christ and was the one that kept the purse. This shows the kind of trust conferred him by the Lord. It was unfortunate that he was the one that betrayed the Master for a sum of money. His love for money also showed when Mary anointed the Lord with a costly ointment, he complained that such oil could have been sold and given to the poor. The Bible says that he only said so for his selfish purpose and not for the love he has for the poor. The second time the Lord was anointed was at Bethany when a woman came with alabaster box of very precious ointment. This time it was the disciples that saw it as a waste and felt it could have been sold and given to the poor. It is possible that Judas Iscariot's previous comment on Mary must have influenced their current statement. Today, some ministers are more concerned with their belly than the eternal reward that will accrue to them if they remain faithful to God.
It is shameful that some pastors convert vehicles and houses given to their churches to their personal properties. Churches can no longer resolve leadership problems among themselves but prefer to go to court in order to settle matters. God does not matter to them. Today, it is what the pastor says that is carried out and not what God says. We have many Judas Iscariots among us who have betrayed Jesus Christ many times and have deviated from the way. Fake miracles and stage-managed testimonies are given to deceive people. They deceive many through occultism to win more members. They preach prosperity and scarcely preach repentance from sin, and the danger of hellfire. They preach eternal security; once born again forever born again. The doctrine of restitution is not part of their message, and members are not aware. Provocative dresses are no more sin before them. Repent and seek God for mercy.

Thought For The Day: The love of money is the root of all evils

Song For The Day: Give me that old-time religion...

Bible Reading For The Day: 2 Samuel 1-3

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...
