Doctrine here refers to the preaching and teaching of the word of God in the worship assembly. It involves the selection and arrangement of scriptures by the preacher or teacher to convey a message to the worshippers through proper interpretation, illustration and application for their exhortation, edification and comfort. The preacher or teacher thinks out his message by the help of the Holy Spirit, gathers and arranges his facts. His authority is the Holy Scripture. He seeks to edify the worshippers through the interpretation and application of the scriptures....

Activities For The Edification Of Worshippers  Sunday 31st August Text: I Corinthians 12:7-11  Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.  A: The gifts of the Spirit operated unhindered in the early church. Today’s text reveals these gifts as the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, the gifts of healing, the working of miracles, prophesy, discerning of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues. They may not manifest in every worship service. The congregation must be willing and ready to welcome their manifestation and operation during the worship service for the edification of worshippers. This should be done decently and in order; for God is not the author of confusion.  B: Psal...

The gift of Interpretation of Tongues  Saturday 30th August Text: 1 Corinthians 14:27-32.  Key verse: 1 Corinthians 13: 9 “For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.”  The gift of interpretation of tongues is a supernatural ability given by the Holy Spirit to a Spirit-filled believer to understand the meaning of a prophetic message delivered to an audience in unknown tongues or language and to convey the message in understandable language to the audience. When a message given in tongues is interpreted to the audience in understandable language, it has the same effect as prophesying. The scriptural instruction is that those who have received inspired message in tongues may only deliver it to the assembly when one with the gift of interpretation of tongues is in the assembly. Where there is no interpreter, the prophetic message delivered in tongues or unknown language will have no beneficial ...

The Gift Of Speaking In Tongues  Friday 29th August Text: 1 Corinthians 12: 7 – 11  Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14:1 “Follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.” The scriptures show that a believer may speak in tongues when praying to God during worship service: Forbid not to speak with tongues; Let him speak to himself and to his God. The believer may speak in tongues in the worship assembly for his edification. But this should be done between him and his God and must be done in the way that those who may hear will glorify God. He must be conscious of the presence of others who must not be distracted by him. He should not pray in tongues throughout the prayer time. He should pray more in understandable language when among others in the worship service in order to edify those that hear him,  A believer that is conscious of edifying others by his prayers must...

Scriptural and Unscriptural Use of Anointing Oil   Thursday 28th August Text: Acts 8:5-8, 14-17  Key verse: Psalm 25:4 “Shew me Thy ways O LORD, teach me Thy paths.” D: Anointing oil in the apostolic era. Scriptural records of the gospel service and miracles performed by the apostles in the early church show that great miracles were done by Peter, Paul and others, without the use of anointing oil. Peter and John went down to Samaria and laid hands on the believers to receive the Holy Ghost without anointing them with oil. Barnabas and Saul were dedicated to God for missionary service through fasting and prayer and the laying on of hands of the elders of the church in Antioch. No anointing oil was poured upon them, The Holy Ghost was with them and they had a successful ministry. Apostle Paul appointed many to the service of God, including Timothy and Titus, without anointing them with oil. The ...

Satan's Lamentation about Ministry of Pastor Paul Rika Wednesday 27th August Text: Job 1: 8-12  Key verse: Job 1:9 Satan answered the Lord and said, doth Job fear God for nought? In a revelation encounter of Sister Linda, Satan said, “You should thank God for sending you to Pastor Paul Rika, if not, I would have devoured you. Tell him that he is just a week in my hands. I have captured people who have been in this work for years. He is just a kid in my hands. God is protecting you. If He allows me, I will devour you. I have sent messages to Paul Rika that I have not yet come for him. It is my agents at work. He is preaching and teaching the truth, delivering people from darkness. I will not allow anybody to destroy my work and go scot-free. He says everything, even mentioning the pastors I have captured. He will suffer for it!  Go and tell your husband, he thinks he has the mouth to talk and expose...

Precept on Scriptural Fasting   Sunday 24th August Text: Ezra 8:21-23  Key verse: Luke 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.  Fasting is a scriptural observance. It was observed by worshippers of God in the Old Testament and in the days of Jesus as a spiritual discipline required in relationship with God. At some instance when people wanted some blessing from God, they fasted. At times they fasted to express their sorrow over sin and evil and to show their repentance. Jesus fasted and taught the necessity of fasting.  Believers of the early church practiced fasting as a Christian discipline. Fasting is often accompanied by prayer. Bible practice shows that it is a spiritual discipline of its own as the payment of tithes. Fasting is a spiritual discipline that involves abstinence from food, solid and liquid, or from food and water, for one day or more. T...
