TOPIC: WATCH YOUR ATTITUDE AND MANNERISM

TEXT: EPHESIANS 5:13-17
13. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 
16. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 

KEY VERSE: EPHESIANS 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.

Work on your face to make it friendly; otherwise, people will not want to come near you. You look angry as though somebody offended you. This makes people to avoid you. By the look on your face, if somebody sees you, he will ask what he has done against you that you frown at him. So work on that face. You must cultivate the habit of smiling.  Why must people run away from you? Why must people avoid you? You must discipline yourself in that area; in your countenance. 

Your dressing as a minister of the gospel is so casual that when you stand to speak, nobody bothers to hear. You are too ordinary and too casual for that position. You must discipline yourself. You might think that you want to be simple but you have to discipline yourself to dress well because you need to command respect for God. Dress well and discipline yourself to make sure you appear well and decent in public. 

Discipline yourself in all areas; how you eat, the time you sleep, in all things. Learn personal discipline so that you can run this Christian race well.  In your prayer life, discipline yourself. Some of you pray so silently that Satan is not aware that prayer is going on in that place. You are too silent and as a result, your mind does not concentrate, sleep takes you away. Why not speak out. 

You may say, “I do not want to speak out,” then your prayer life will die. Discipline yourself, speak out, shout it, work contrary to your body and overcome your body weakness in prayer. Coordinators, pastors, ministers watch yourself.  When you were feeling sleepy, why did you not stand up to resist it? 

Be determined to overcome sleep. Do not say that you do not want to stand up for shame. Discipline yourself and stand up to save yourself from embarrassment. If you are seen sleeping in the pulpit, people will not believe your message. Discipline yourself; it is required to make you well, give you a standing, and give you honour as a Christian acceptable before God and man.

Thought for the day: Learn personal discipline to run this Christian race well.

Song for the day: Open my eyes O Lord, Alleluia….

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 50

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...
