Apostle Paul’s Christian Qualities

Wednesday 3rd June 

Text: Acts 9: 1-6
Key Verse: Acts 24:16. “And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense towards God, and towards men.”
Paul, who was then called Saul, had been well known for his fierce hatred and persecution against Christians. Paul’s conversion took place outside Damascus, where he had an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, on his way to perpetrate evil against Christians. Paul accepted Jesus as Messiah and surrendered to His leadership and authority; he went without eating and prayed for guidance with an attitude of deep devotion to God. He was a missionary with an extraordinary zeal for the spread of the Gospel. He was either visiting the brethren or writing letters to check on their spiritual wellbeing. He touched on many areas of life through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. No wonder God made him write many books of the New Testament.
Apostle Paul was a mentor to many and inspired others to greater height in the Ministry. He also worked with the disciples of Jesus Christ to move the message of salvation forward.  Paul’s works with Barnabas, Silas and other disciples was wonderful. He mentored Timothy, as a son, to be bold and courageous. Paul also testified to the Jews and the Greeks for repentance towards God. God wrought a lot of wonders among the gentiles through the ministry of Paul the Apostle. He suffered persecution, imprisonment, shipwreck, etc, for Christ. Paul said, “But none of these things moved me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received from the Lord Jesus to testify the gospel of the Grace of God.” Paul spent his life being a “Tentmaker”, not relying on members to meet his needs or stealing from God’s money. This he testified to the Ephesian Elders at his departure to Jerusalem (Acts 20:33-35). Paul rebuked Peter openly when he saw that he withdrew and separated himself from eating with the Gentiles for fear of the circumcised (Gal 2:8-14).  Peter’s act was hypocritical. Emulate Paul’s lifestyle.

Thought For The Day: They that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear

Song For The Day: Paul and Silas, the prayed, they sang…

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...
