DATE: SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 2026.

TOPIC: COMMITMENT TO CHRIST. 

TEXT: ACTS 20:19-25
19. Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews: 
20. And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 
21. Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 
22. And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 
23. Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 
24. But none of these things move 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 of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 
25. And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

KEY VERSE: GALATIANS 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 

Commitment to Christ means dedicating your life to following Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. It involves total surrender of your life to Him, prioritising relationship with Jesus above all else, surrendering personal desires, ambitions, and possessions to align with God's will, saying. ‘Thy will be done, O Lord’. 

Total obedience and love to Jesus Christ, and complete obedience to His word. even in adversity demonstrating the scripture that says, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” Trusting God's promises, persevering through life's challenges and trials, showcasing commitment to Christ in time of adversity. 

In apostle Paul words "ln labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in death often, of the Jews five times received l forty stripes save one, Thrice, was l beaten with rods, once was l stoned, thrice l suffered shipwreck, a night and a day l have been in deep. 2 Corinthians 11:23-25. 

Enduring hardship, trials, and persecution trusting God's plan and promises and reflecting Christ's love and truth in action. "And how l kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, testifying both to the Jews and to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ" Acts 20 :20-21. 

Commitment to Christ entails self-denial. It is important to obey Christ commandments as an expression of love for Him. Offer your body as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. Commitment enables spiritual growth, maturity and a deeper relationship with God, knowing that your mission and vision is to do the will of Christ at every moment. "My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work" 

Thought for the day. Commitment is total obedience to Christ. 

Song for the day. Heavenly race, l no go tire

Bible reading for the day: Amos 5-9

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...
