God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Be A Wise And Visionary Children Trainer Monday 1st June  Text: Proverbs 31:25-31 Key Verse: Matthew 13:55-56-…is not His mother called Mary? and His brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this Man all these things? Mary had four sons and at least two daughters. These children had natural birth and were born in sin even as any other child in the world. These children were born by Mary's intimacy with Joseph, her husband. All in the world, who were born through sexual relationship between a man and a woman were born in sin. Romans 3:23. The coming of Jesus out of the womb of Mary did not wash that womb from sin. Her womb could still produce sinners. Why? That is the normal and natural law. As long as the other children were to be formed by the natural copulation of male and female as man and his wife, the children will be sinne...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Ignorance Of Gospel Truth Is Dangerous Sunday 31st May Text: Isaiah 55:7-8 Key Verse: Proverbs 19:2 Also, that a soul be without knowledge, it is not good. Christ established one Church-His body on earth and gave one Bible-the Word of God to His church. So, be sure to verify your beliefs and practice, to ensure you are complying with the complete standard of God as outlined in His Word-the Bible. Ignorance of gospel truth on how to obtain peace with God, has slain millions of unbelievers and is still doing so today. In John 14:6, it is clear, ‘JESUS ALONE is the Way to God.’ There is no alternative. The same ignorance is seen in many preachers of the gospel today, who are busy leading people in ignorance on their way to HELL. They are ignorant of the truth that will set them free from eternal damnation, so are their followers. Matthew7:13 “For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to d...

Demonism and Medicine Text: Ezekiel 47:12 Wednesday 20th May  Key Verse: Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 2 Timothy 2:7 A man is first demonic, then he gets good medicine. He may or may not apply his demonism to his treatment. Good medicine is a natural formula. He can only bring his demonism into it to defile mankind. If he says, “Okay, before I do this for you, you will sacrifice this; you must do this or that; when you are cooking this medicine, sprinkle the blood of animals on that stone. Do not take firewood from one side to another.” That is demonism. All those things are not part of what will bring a cure. He is using the knowledge of medical cures to bring man into bondage and to Satan. Demonism and medicine are two separate things, be it herbal medicine or conventional medicine. Be it food supplements or chemical drugs, separate them from demonism. Do...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies God Gives Good Attention To The Widows Tuesday 19th May  Text: Isaiah 54:4-5 Key Verse: James 1:27 “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” Widowhood is a hard state for the woman. The Bible has said that the woman is a weaker vessel in the marriage. It is really hard with her when her husband, who is the head of the family, is permanently gone, never to come back again. Her husband, who was her strength, has left her alone to manage life and the family. Who can live a successful and holy widowhood life, except God stands by her? The Lord is showing us this to let us know that widowhood and heaven are not an easy road. That is why he is giving attention to the widows! He is telling us, His righteous children, to give attention to the widows and care for them. Can you see what...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Do Not Reject A Marriage Suitor Because Of Pride Sunday 17th May  Text: Genesis 2:18, 21-24 Key Verse: Ecclesiastes 3:1” To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” When people come to you for marriage, as a lady, do not bring up pride to reject them at that time. Similarly, as a man, it is time for you to marry, but you do not bother. It might be too late in your life. You may not find one again. You may become, what we call, “Belgium, fairly-used or Tokumbo.” Because at the time you were attractive, at the time you were smelling marriage, people wanted to marry you, but you spent time in pride. Not that the Lord did not tell you to accept, or not to accept, but you were even sure that this man was led by God, but you intentionally rejected him. There was a story of a young man whom Jesus came to and said, “Because of the ministry I have given to you, I do not wan...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Avoid The Weird Dance In Churches Saturday 16th May  Text: Psalms 150:6 “Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. From the early church until recent time, Christian worship service had been a sober and solemn moment. Emphasis had been on a heart receiving grace from God and giving adoration to Him. All attention was focused on God in the songs, sermons, prayers and other activities. The flesh was not given a place to exercise itself in dancing. Sinners who came to church, came with soberness and bore the consciousness and guilt of their sins as they sat in the presence of the Lord. The preachers preached solemnly, with firm commitment to communicate the mind of God to the people. Yet the worshipers’ service was lively, inspiring and joyful. The heart was made glad by the word of God, the presence of God and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. The smiles, laughter, clapp...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Qualifications For Christian Ministers Friday 15th May  Text: 1 Timothy 3: 1-13 Key Verse: A Bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; (1 Timothy 3:2). The gospel minister should have the following qualifications:  Blamelessness:  Unlawful acts, masturbation, irresponsible living, falling and rising and lies in Ministry must not be mentioned on you. A Bishop must be blameless.  Husband of one wife: Check the history of your workers and ministers to ascertain their marital status. When the blind leads the blind, you expect accident for both. In the early churches, letters were written to authenticate pastors before they were permitted to minister. Check the preachers you are inviting to be sure they are in Christ. Many of them have married before, divorced their wife and remarried. Vigilance (watchfuln...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies God Will Give You Outstanding Performance In Life Thursday 14th May Text: Daniel 1:17- 20 Key Verse: And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm (Daniel I:20) God does not look forward to seeing the failure of any of His children; rather He is excited seeing His children do well. Your poor performances in school, business, careers and professions do not glorify God. In fact, God does not expect His children to live an average life. Moses conveyed the mind of God to the congregation he was pastoring. He said, “And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shall not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them (Deut. 28:13).” May God wi...

The children of Eli, Phinehas and Hophni were there, but truth could not be found in them. The word of the Lord manifested itself through Samuel. The Lord made Samuel the prophet of Israel because he was a righteous priest, the only one in charge of the work in the temple and sacrificing for the children of Israel. God picked Samuel, a righteous man and made him His mouthpiece in Israel. God put Himself in Samuel, and miracles followed him. Samuel maintained righteousness to the end. What is the testimony of your walk with God today? Now that the rapture is imminent and the close of the age is already everywhere, what is the testimon...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies False Teachings And Wrong Doctrines On Tithes And Offerings Friday 8th May  Text: Malachi 1:13-14 Key Verse: “But He said, yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it.” Luke 11:28 You must pay your tithe to respect the priesthood of Jesus. What are the perverse doctrines and the indecent teachings that you receive outside there that make you hold on to your tithe? Do you know that some pastors keep their tithes and use it for themselves? The Bible says, “Bring all the tithes to the House of the Lord, that there should be meat in My House…” You are not the House of the Lord. You are a servant of God. Let God decide on what to do, Pastor. One of the pastors came to me when I came to the state and said, “Pastor, I just heard you spoke on this matter. I am so sorry. I have been using my tithe.” I said, “Wow! Is that what you have been doing? It is wrong, you should not do that.”...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies What Is Worldliness?  Thursday 7th May  Text: 1 John 2: 15-17.  Key Verse: So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:8.  Worldliness refers to the lifestyle and activities of sinful men living in this world which are invented, inspired and promoted by Satan, the god of this world. These things are contrary to the word, way, and will of God, and they defile, corrupt and damn human souls in hell fire. Worldliness is living according to the dictates of the world, which is pure carnality. These include the ‘love of money’. Many people make money their god. It is their reason for living. They do many evil things to get money. They disregard God's commands and righteous demands because of the drive for money in them. "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sor...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies The Benefits of Restitution.  Wednesday 6th May Text: Ezekiel 33 :14-16.  Key Verse: And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence towards God, and towards men. Acts.24:16.  Conscience is stated in the Bible as one of our essential weapons for a successful spiritual life and ministry. Do you know what will give you this clear conscience? It is this restitution. When you do what is right and lawful, your conscience will be very clear, and peaceful. Beloved brothers and sisters, if you hurt or offended somebody, if you stole somebody's property, if you have restitution to make and you have not made it, your conscience will not be clear, especially after you might have heard or read about restitution. Your conscience will be pricking you like a needle piercing your soul. When you offend somebody and you see the person coming your way, your heart will jump because...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies The Righteous Can Also Get Sick Tuesday 5th May  Text: Psalms 41:1-3 Key Verse: Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. 2 Kings 13:14a Here, we are considering the cases of sicknesses and diseases of the righteous, because there are people who think that righteous people cannot get sick. Not that the righteous must be ill. No! However, let us consider the following circumstances in order to understand more of God’s wisdom: God can manifest His power in a special sense as He led the children of Israel from Egypt to the promise land. The Bible says that there was no feeble man among them. Even the clothes that they put on their body did not wear out. That is a special manifestation of the power of God. God can decide to make things happen this way. But is it that believers' clothes do not wear out? No! They wear out. Many of your clothes have worn out. In fact, the clothes you u...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Be Your Brother's Keeper Monday 4th May  Text: Galatians 6:1-3   Key Verse: Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Many of the Lord's soldiers are fatally wounded on account of money. We must take measures to restore fallen ones in wisdom and meekness. Don't allow yourself to fall. As a pastor or shepherd, it is your responsibility to know how your flocks are doing and shield them from what may make them fall. Are they being well rewarded?  2 Corinthians 8:16-23, “But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you. For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you. And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches; And no...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Record Keeping And Holiness In Ministry   Sunday 3rd May  Text: Matthew 1:1-17 Key Verse: Exodus 17:14 And the Lord said unto Moses, write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. The Holy Scripture is a book of record that shows the mind and works of God among men. It gives a glimpse of the works of God in heaven and the whole universe. In the Holy Bible, you will find statistics of the number of people, family members, genealogy, firstborn, meetings and so on. For instance, it tells us that five thousand people ate the five loaves and two fishes, apart from women and children, two people were on their way to Emmaus when resurrected Jesus met them, one hundred and twenty people were in the upper room on the day of Pentecost.  Also, you will find out in the scriptures that records of fi...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Testimony Of God’s Call By Pastor Paul Rika (Part 2) Saturday 2nd May Text: Psalm 25: 1-5 Key Verse: Psalms 25:4 “Show me Thy ways, O Lord, teach me Thy paths.” I went to Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria. In 1986, I attended a program organised by Ben Oruma, the chaplain of Kongo campus, but before the program, George Adeboye was invited from Kwara State by the Fellowship of Christian Students, FCS. At that time, I was the general coordinator of the Deeper Life Campus Fellowship in ABU. While he was ministering, he said, “There is a young man here, something is going on inside your spirit concerning going to full-time after school. Listen to me carefully. Concerning going on full-time after the school you are presently in. The Lord says I should say unto you, ‘As long as ye desire to go, your NYSC posting shall be to such a place as I desire, and you will be starting from there. This will certain...
