HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director DATE: WEDNESDAY 26TH JANUARY HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH: THE STANDARD FOR HEAVEN TEXT: ISAIAH 33:15-17 Key Verse: Psalms 71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! Right there in Heaven, Jesus commissioned me into the world. He said, "Tell those ministers to repent and return to Me. If they refuse to repent, I will devour them at once. Holiness, Righteousness and Truth are the only things that will bring man to My righteous kingdom. Go and warn man. I am sending you to the ends of the earth to declare to man My standard for Heaven: Holiness, Righteousness and Truth. Tell man I still love him.” Jesus said, "Go and tell man righteousness, truth and holiness of life are the things that will qualify the believer for entrance into Heaven. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord. As you go, lift up the standard of Holiness in your personal life for people to see. Make it clear for the people. Let the whole world know. Lift up the banner of Holiness and Righteousness. Tell man I still love him. Live your life as a Christian ought to live.” Jesus said, "Meddle not with them that are given to change. Be careful with the people you meet with. Be careful with the people that come around you.”He said, "Tell the world, My standard is high. I have not changed. I am still God.” He quoted 2 Peter 2:1-3. The Lord said, "In these last days, false teachers will arise and they are already operating in the world. These bring damnable heresies into the church, denying godliness and holiness. Many shall follow their ways. The way of truth, righteousness and holiness shall be to them evil spoken of. But, go and say it out. I will stand by you. Tell man I still love him. Tell him My standard is high.” 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Thought for the day: You must meet the standard of God’s holiness for entrance into heaven Song for the day: Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord… Bible reading for the day: Exodus 11-12; Matthew 18:21-35

Dollarseeker:but why are you people always saying " holy mary mother of God, pray for us sinners"? see, Mary found favor with God the Father, to be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind. This favor has often been misinterpreted by some sects who call her mother of God. Jesus Christ has a dual personality being both God and Man. Mary was only the mother of Jesus Christ after the flesh (as Man), not as God. God cannot have a mother! The heathen idol worshippers that worship the female gods have demonically taken it farther by turning Mary into a female goddess thereby forgetting the main object of worship, Jesus Christ. They worship her as the mother of God. These worshippers are doing so after the spirit of paganism and their action is equivalent to committing idolatry (Exodus 20:1-5). They do this in ignorance to the detriment and damnation of their souls in hell. Luke 1:26-38 Key verse: Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me Thought for the day: Those who worship Mary are into idolatry. |
HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE (HOREMOW) Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director TOPIC: THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH (PART 2) TUESDAY 25th JANUARY TEXT: ROMANS 1:16-17 Key verse: Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. The faith of the just is based on the promises of God. God can look at a contrary situation of your life and throws a promise to you that if you are not a person of faith, you might miss the promise as clearly seen in Abraham’s case. The just believes in the testimonies of the scripture and that as it happened to those in the scripture, it will likewise happen to him. The just believes in the prophetic word of God. I have heard many testimonies of God’s promises. I went out one day and noticed a location Pastor and some brethren carrying an insane woman towards my house. When I approached them, they informed me of what was going on. I quickly informed them to carry the woman to the fellowship venue. We took time and prayed for her and the prayer was effective because she who had not eaten requested for a meal. The brethren were relieved as they too were very much engaged with her display. Hence, when she calmed down, the brethren took out time to refresh themselves. However, the same evening, I was told that she was nowhere to be found. In the morning, I requested for a search to be made around the location and for an extension to other parts nearby. I went to the scriptures and ask God to speak to me. I received a leading to read the story of the prodigal son but I wondered what I could receive from it. Nevertheless, I still went on to read it. There is a verse that indicated that the prodigal son has gone far; then I knew that the woman had truly gone far. As I read further, I came to the verse that says “for this my son was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.” Luke 15:11-32. At this, I knew that the quickened scripture has been given by God. I knew that no matter how far the woman had gone, she would be found. Therefore, hold on to the prophetic word God has given you. Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Examples abound of just men that lived by faith: Daniel spent a night with hungry lions in their den; Joshua made the sun and the moon to stand still; Abraham and Sarah believed God for a son at very old age; Joseph believed God for realization of his dream; Paul ran the Christian race and finished well by faith and David overcame Goliath by faith Thought for the day: Have faith in God Song for the day: Forever oh Lord your word is settled in heaven it is settled.

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE (HOREMOW) Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director DATE: MONDAY 24TH JANUARY TOPIC: JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS BEHEADED TO REWARD A DANCER TEXT: MARK 6: 14 - 28 Key Verse: Mark 14: 22-And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. Dancers always make effort to improve on their performance to show expertise and excellence. We see in this account the inspiration and power of dancing. Herod and the others who watched her were pleased, inspired, fascinated, absorbed and captured by her performance. Her dance aroused their emotions and Herod was moved to utter a promise which he would not have made in his sound mind that led to a great evil action. John the Baptist was beheaded and his head was given to her to reward her dance! Ungodly dancing is not practiced only in social parties but presently in the church. Her dance is not for God and His worship; for she knows not the Lord. Her dance in the church is in the same spirit with her dance in the worldly parties and achieves more or less result as of old! We must forbid her! The church is not a place for dancing, but for the worship of the holy God. The dancing church today opens the door to the sons and daughters of Herodias: (1) To come and display their dancing expertise. (2) To inspire and arouse the ministers and worshipers to all ungodliness by their dancing. (3) To corrupt or weaken the mental and spiritual judgment of ministers. (4) To murder the saints in the church by spiritual defilement occasioned by their dance. (5) To rob God of His Glory in the church. (6) To rob the church of the glory of the Lord. (7) To send church members to hell! Worship God in the beauty of holiness. Do not open your church to dancing spree, otherwise the sons and daughters of Herodias will come in and do destruction to it! The present wild dance and music going on in the churches of Christ in the name of praise worship to God have no scriptural base. The New Testament believers and apostles of the early church neither exemplified this nor taught it. The reasons why this wild dance in the church was not practiced in Bible times and should be stopped today are obvious. Thought for the day: Wild dance in the church is an abomination, stop it. Song for the day: I will sing unto the Lord a joyful song; I will praise His name… Bible reading for the day: Exodus 7-8; Matthew 17.

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director DATE: 23RD SUNDAY JANUARY TOPIC: REMOVE YOUR EYES FROM GOD'S MONEY TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 6: 6-12 Key verse: Luke 12:15- And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. The love of money is the fall of many ministers of God. Satan got Judas through money and his offence was great as the betrayer of Jesus. Today, many believers and ministers of God fall to the power of money. Satan entered their life and captured their soul through money. Money has caused the fall of many, but as a child of God and indeed as a man of God, you must remove the love of money from your heart to remain pure. 1 Timothy 6:10 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 sorrows. Why do you run after money? Is it to build a house, buy a car or to do what? Do you know that godliness with contentment is great gain? If you have no money to pay your children's school fees, why not put your trust in the Lord, even if your children will have to be sent out of school because of your righteousness? Does that mean God has abandoned you? During the period of one year that your children will stay at home, if all of you keep crying to your Father in heaven, will He not hear? Is God no more in heaven? Will He not appreciate your righteousness? Will He not rise up and do something to honour His children? Why not go before God in faith and pray, rather than resorting to stealing to pay your children's school fees? Where is the blessing? Is it not the blessing of the LORD that “maketh rich and addeth no sorrow?” Are you not cursing your children by building their lives on a faulty foundation? Is that not a curse unto them? You, as a father, is the one bringing accursed thing unto them, by stealing God's money to pay their school fees! Have you not already set destruction on their path? Some of them may die and never finish school because of the weight of your sins on their lives. You make them children of the devil because you have consecrated them to Satan. He is the one teaching you how to get money for their school fees, hence they are his children. He is feeding them with poison and will eventually lay claim on them. Therefore, child of God, flee these things and maintain righteousness. Remove your eyes from God's money. Do not seek after it. It leads to damnation Thought for the day: Be with what you have, riches are from God. Song for the day: All I have are given to me by the Lord (2X) Bible reading for the day: Exodus 4-6; Matthew 16.

IDOLIZING MARY IS A GRAVE SIN: Message to Catholics. By PST Paul Rika The fact that angel Gabriel saluted Mary as blessed among women has made many to ascribe adoration, honor and worship to her. However, this erroneous practice by misguided people should not take away the wonderful virtues that believers can observe in her life. Although our primary attention is unto the Lord Jesus which matters, we should also know that there are things to learn from the saints of the Bible. Mary who was the mother of Jesus Christ was a saint, and not a sinner. She was godly, righteous, pure and holy. But sadly, she has often been misunderstood as a goddess. Many people still find it difficult to understand the personality of Mary and have therefore idolized her as a goddess. This misperception has led many to believe in worshipping her daily with the understanding that they will receive answers to their prayers. From the scriptural examination above, we have seen how Mary found favor with God the Father, to be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind. This favor has often been misinterpreted by some sects who call her mother of God. Jesus Christ has a dual personality being both God and Man. Mary was only the mother of Jesus Christ after the flesh (as Man), not as God. God cannot have a mother! The heathen idol worshippers that worship the female gods have demonically taken it farther by turning Mary into a female goddess thereby forgetting the main object of worship, Jesus Christ. They worship her as the mother of God. These worshippers are doing so after the spirit of paganism and their action is equivalent to committing idolatry (Exodus 20:1-5). They do this in ignorance to the detriment and damnation of their souls in hell. Luke 1:26-38 Key verse: Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me Thought for the day: Those who worship Mary are into idolatry.

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director DATE: SATURDAY 22ND JANUARY THE PRINCIPLES OF FINISHING THE RACE TEXT: ISAIAH 53: 1-7 Key verse: Isaiah 53:4 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. We shall consider three (3) principles in this lesson: 1. Suffering: Jesus was addressed as a Man of sorrows. His ability to suffer showed His credibility because His suffering was required for human salvation. God has only one Son who had not sinned, but He has no son who has not suffered. Suffering builds energy into you and removes pride from you. He led you through this path to humble you. Why are men running from suffering and from the devil? Peter was avoiding crucifixion but as he was running away he met the Lord coming in the opposite direction. When he asked, the Lord told him He was going for second crucifixion since he was escaping from it. He returned and got crucified upside down on the cross. Running the race to avoid suffering will not give you the crown. If you are not ready to lose your marriage, job or reputation for Jesus, you are unfit for the crown. Don't fear imprisonment or assassination if God allows that to be your end. 2. Sacrifice: This is the life that leads to the end. Isaiah 53: 1, 4 1 Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 4 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. What others should have suffered, He took it over to better their lives. He suffered for our sicknesses and gave His body to be crucified. Jesus bore the sins of others. He was oppressed: He suffered for the salvation and suffering of the people. God found man in Christ Jesus. There is a story of a woman who had a crippled husband. She took him for lunch and served him at the restaurant. She laboured to give the husband comfort of life. She was doing it out of sacrifice; not of necessity. When the man was dying, he was full of appreciation for his wife’s sacrifice on him. He wrote a letter to his unborn baby on the greatness of the mother. It is sacrifice that will make your life meaningful. 3. Faith: Don't fear that you will fail; God will be with you. Your flesh shall not see corruption. Don't be afraid of demons; Jesus had confidence on His father to the end of His life. If you know that the just shall live by faith, you will live in victory. Exercise faith in all circumstances. Because Jesus lives, you can face tomorrow. David's faith made him to face Goliath in the name of the Lord. You will live and overcome sin in your life by faith. Faith is not afraid of climbing the mountain or crossing the ocean. In all your living, live by faith. Thought for today: Be not wanting in the heavenly race Song for the day: I am ready to obey thy word Bible reading for the day: Exodus 1-3;

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE ( HOREMOW Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director DATE: FRIDAY 21 JANUARY TOPIC: MONEY AND THE GOSPEL TEXT: 1 Corinthians 9: 7-14 Key Verse: Ecclesiastics 10:19"A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things." Money is described as having the ability to do all things. Satan expends money to work havoc in communities of the world. It is the root of all evil. As it is evil, so also it is good. As you see money doing evil today, it can accomplish righteousness when put into right use. It is the corrupted good that becomes evil. If money is put to the right use, it will produce glorious results. The great constructions, the great glory, the great enlightenment, the great connections, progress and achievements around us today are results of positive use of money. Money is used to maintain gospel preachers and their activities in righteousness. Our devotional text raised the following questions. Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of it? Can we preach to you and not be supported by you? You who hoard money against the preachers of the gospel, you are not doing well. If we do all to give you peace, will you not give us the needed support? They that preach the gospel should live by it according to the scripture. Because gold was removed from the temple of Solomon, they were replaced with brass. Fake preachers have taken over the genuine ones. If you refuse to pay tithes to support the gospel, sinners will take over the tithes to corrupt the gospel. Money is used to carry out the service of the Lord: to buy land; organize programs; buy equipment; etc. Many preachers deserve this money because many by it will be brought into the kingdom. Money is used to invite sinners and the needy to the house of God. These people have precious souls that need the gospel to be saved. Money is used to support missionaries; to send them to distant places. Money is used to buy equipment and instruments for gospel work. True preachers, churches and ministries must be supported. While we do the preaching; see it too as your responsibility to raise the money for materials and tools. With money support, the work will continue unabated. The ministry of our Lord Jesus was supported by men and women financially and materially. They brought their money and food substances. Other people supported the ministry of Jesus to enable Him provide eternal life. If many did so and are doing so, what are you doing now? The owner of the five loaves and two fishes released it; forgo his lunch, to support Jesus so that people should eat and hear the words of eternal life. The revival of the early church was used to support mission work. The on-going revival in Holiness Movement needs your support. Thought for today: The on-going end time revival needs your support Song for the day: The great provider, the great provider Bible reading for the day: Genesis 49-50; Matthew 15:1-20

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director DATE: THURSDAY 20TH JANUARY TOPIC: EFFECTIVE METHODS OF SOUL WINNING TEXT: ISAIAH 48:17-19 Key Verse: Psalms 32:8-I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. 1. Personal Evangelism: It must not be ignored. It is always the way of getting people to Christ. Go out and talk to people personally. Go out and minister, as people come to you, speak a word of the gospel to them in faith. I am talking to passionate soul winners, sons and daughters of the living God who know that God left them in this world for the purpose of shining as light and showing people the way to Jesus. John 1: 40-42, 45,46 2. Town Cry Evangelism: This involves morning, afternoon and evening cry. Early in the morning, you get up and move round in the neighbourhood preaching and telling them to accept Jesus, the Saviour of their soul. You may do this in the afternoon or in the night. Many shall hear you and repent and turn to Christ. AMEN Jonah 3:2-53. 3. Open Air Evangelism: Ministering to people in their houses through tapes, CDs, or live preaching through public address system. You can use CDs or DVDs and put the message in a radio set or disc player and place it in your neighbourhood. (Psalms119:130). It can be a vehicle moving round the city carrying the word and spreading it all around using the public address system and the people are made to hear it in their houses. Isaiah 58: 1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. 4. Crusade Evangelism: You can organize crusades in villages, towns and cities to spread this Gospel to the people. Mark 16:15 205. 5. Evangelism By Literature Distribution: This involves physical items giving to people like the Bible, tracts, godly Christian literatures etc. Commit yourself to procuring Christian materials and tracts for distribution among men. Send these items far and near. Seek to translate them to the appropriate language for the salvation of people of other languages. The gospel materials to be distributed must carry the true gospel of righteousness and holiness. I urge you to move in faith! Psalm 68:11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. Thought for the day: How beautiful are the feet of them that win souls for Jesus Song for the day: Souls are crying, men are dying, won’t you win them to the cross… Bible reading for the day: Genesis 46-48; Matthew 14:22-36

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director DATE: WEDNESDAY 19TH JANUARY TOPIC: APPLY GRACE AND TRUTH IN YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 2:12-13 Key Verse: Hebrews 4:16-Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Grace is the power of God that enables a believer to practice all the commandments of God. Truth is practical obedience. Verse 13 talks about the grace of God. The Lord is working in you; He is connecting many things in you, giving you the willingness, drawing you to programs, bringing forth preachers of truth and holiness on your way, causing you to understand and enlightening your mind with His word. That is the work of grace. What is expected of you is to work out your salvation. Apply that truth along with grace. Philippians 2:12-13 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. The Lord is on the blackboard designing that object, copy it into your own exercise book. That is the truth. If you leave it on the board, it shall be wiped away and vanished from your memory. Why it is designed on the board is because you should copy it into your notebook. It then becomes meaningful, that is learning. God wants you to practice this truth; He shows it to you, He gives you grace, He raises others to pray for you, He brings others to encourage you, then practice it. That is truth. Your part is to practice it, don’t leave it to grace alone. John 1:14, 17 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Grace is the free answers God has for all who pray, while truth is practical praying. God has answers for your prayers. Ask anything in My name, and My Father will give you. Whosoever asks, receives. That is grace. The next to cement it, is truth. That is you practically praying. Grace and truth is the evidence of true Christianity in your life, in the Church and in the society. This grace and truth is the evidence of true Christianity, get the fire and burn with it, grace and truth is actually our life long evidence. Key to it dearly! Thought for the day: The grace of God for you without truth will not produce holiness. Song for the day: I am ready to obey your word (3X) the living word of God… Bible reading for the day: Genesis 44-45; Matthew 14:1-21

BILLIONS ARE PERISHING BECAUSE OF MOHAMMED Is God an author of confusion? Could he raise up Jesus Christ to be a Savior from sin and still raise up another? Is God divided? Is God a confusionist? Jesus Christ came from heaven, not from first nor second heaven, but he came from God, he was sent to bear witness of the truth that sets free from sin and Satan. He is the Son of God, the living God in human flesh, just to save me and you from sin. He is the second person in the Trinity. There's God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost and these are one: just as your body, soul and spirit and these makes up you as one man or woman. God exists in three separate personalities and they are one, so is man, even you! Moses and the prophets bore witness of Jesus Christ, but no prophet in Israel or outside Israel (who speaks by God) bears any witness on Mohammed. God is not an author of confusion. Jesus Christ is the way, the Only Way to HEAVEN, not Mohammed. The Koran he wrote is devilish and demonic, the 7 virgins promised by demons to them to receive after their sinful lives in heaven are lies! If a leader (Mohammed) could be a raper, a murderer, a fornicator, how can such an unclean person take souls to heaven? Did you hear any evil or sin laid against Jesus Christ? No! He was holy, harmless and separate from sinners. But Mohammed (read his history) was a raper, murderer and immoral. He called himself a prophet, that an angel appeared to him on a mount. Which angel? Satan, he deceived him by transforming himself as an angel of light! You people in Islamic religion can never enter heaven. You people in Islamic religion, Islamic schools, Islamic universities will never and can never enter heaven. You are under deception of a liar, Mohammed. Reader who is an Islamic man, are you saved? Have you stopped your sinful lives, immoralities? Witchcraft? Sorceries? Drunkenness? Masturbation? Pornography? Rapping? Terrorism? Alcoholism? Polygamism? No! Because there's no power in Koran, neither in the name of Mohammed to break the power of sin in your live. Come out from that legalised occultism, called "ISLAMISM". It is devilish and hell will swallow all Moslems. Repent from your sins. Confess the Lord Jesus Christ, call him into your life, he will forgive your many sins, he will set you free, he will make you a new creature. Fear not to die, even if they kill you, heaven will accept you! Pray to God and say in sincerity "God, Jehovah, show me thyself".

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE (HOREMOW) Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director DATE: 18TH TUESDAY JANUARY TOPIC: WITHOUT HOLINESS, WE ARE LABOURING IN VAIN TEXT: LUKE 1:74-75 Key Verse: Philippians 2:16-Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. We are in danger of labouring in vain, if we are not able to bring people to perfection. If we cannot bring you to this state of holiness, then our labour over you and preaching is in vain. If we helped you to be born again, but we could not make you holy, then our labour is in vain because you cannot go to heaven; for without holiness, no man shall enter heaven. Hebrews 12:14. Although you can be appointed to be a leader, your position cannot give you Heaven. No! You make heaven by your holiness. You can be given a gift, or even a promotion but not heaven. When true preachers finish their course and wear the crown and look for those they have laboured on in heaven, but they do not show up; it is very painful, as if the labour is in vain. All the fasting and the prayers are in vain, because eventually you did not enter Heaven. What has the teacher benefitted, if he was not able to graduate a student who was later expelled? What is the benefit of the church, pastor, and ministry, if they cannot make someone holy? Luke 1:74-75 74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. When people do not know about holiness, and have not attained holiness, what benefit is it to that ministry, or denomination. When the pastors of that denomination do not know holiness, attain holiness and do not work in holiness, what then is the benefit? What is the benefit of you being here if you cannot be holy, perfect, complete and completely righteous? Go back and take your decision again except you are living the Christian life for mere benefit on earth. Or maybe you want people to just address you a Christian or call you after your church. But, if it is for heaven, then you will have to change for good. It is a high, holy and heavenly calling. Practice it with interest! Matthew 5:48-Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect… Thought for the day: Without complete holiness, we cannot make Heaven Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of Believers… Bible reading for the day: Genesis 42-43; Matthew 13:33-58

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE (HOREMOW) Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director DATE: MONDAY 17 JANUARY TOPIC: WISDOM REQUIRED FOR RAISING UP GODLY CHIDREN FOR JESUS TEXT: PROVERBS 9:9-10 Key Verse: Matthew 12:36“But I say unto you, that every idle word that man speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment” Christian parents need to know the right thing to do at every point in time in child training. Not all corrections should involve the use of the cane: The child you want to punish should be made to know his/her offence so that the purpose will not be defeated. A wise child may require only words of instruction and reprove to perfect his ways. When you have a wise child who perfects himself by a word of instruction, why must you embarrass him with beating and cause him psychological damage? Do not make beating the only way of correction. Employ verbal counsel or rebuke. Sometimes you can arrange a meeting between your child and someone else let the person talk to your child about this thing on that issue. That is wisdom. Love all your children. Do not create room for any of your children to feel he/she is not being loved as the others. It will gross insecurity and hatred. If for any reason you are giving something higher/better to one, explain your reason for doing so. Sacrifice for the children: If there is no money tell them so, they will understand. Avoid harsh scaring statement on your children.Do not use evil word on your child. Proverbs 18:21 “death and life are in the power of the tongue.” That child you are cursing will be good and wonderful tomorrow. Pray, bless and do not curse. Every idle word you speak shall be judged.Learn to talk and play with your children. You will make the best out of them. It will make them share their burden with you. Don’t let them fear Satan and fear you too, is that okay? Encourage them to pray everywhere. Jonah prayed inside fish’s belly and God answered him. By prayer Hannah changed her barrenness to fruitfulnessGive them assignment on the word of God and ensure they participate in daily devotion. Proverbs 9:9-10 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Thought for the day: Discipline the children with love and in righteousness, not in anger.

GODLY MUSIC IS NOT FOR ENTERTAINMENT OF SINNERS By PST Paul Rika The psalmist reveals that godly musicians do not perform on request to entertain sinners. Godly songs and music should not be rendered to entertain a secular congregation where the name of the Lord is mocked, and His word is trampled underfoot. Hence those Christian musicians that go to perform for ungodly audience during naming ceremony, wedding, and other festive occasions which are not in the righteousness of God, are doing so in their pursuit after filthy lucre and not for the glory of God. The Bible warns: “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you” Matthew 7:6. Songs of the Lord should be sung where souls can be led to Christ, believers can be edified, and the name of the Lord exalted. Christian instrumentalists and singers are not to minister for the dancing and jubilation of the sons of men in fleshly pleasure. They are to minister to the hearts of men to make them sober, convicted, saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Spirit. Those who hear the songs should be filled with joy, praise and thanksgiving to God. Not all who compose Christian songs do so by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Not all who release Christian albums do so by the instruction of God. There are those who release albums to show their music talents, to make a name for themselves and to make money. God has not inspired them to compose the songs they sing. He has not directed them to release such albums. Although the songs carry the name of the Lord and contain scriptural phrases, they minister to the flesh rather than the spirit and are disastrous to the body of Christ. Many of these Christian musicians do not know the Lord and so are not walking in His truth. Believers should be able to discern such music and musicians and reject them. These are they who have used music to introduce various corruptions into the church of Christ. If you are a musician, avoid playing the instruments or leading others in the Lord's worship when you have backslidden. Withdraw and seek the Lord's face for your cleansing and restoration before appearing before the Lord's people to render service unto Him. Let not the Lord turn away from His people because of you. The ministers and elders of the people of God should ensure that backsliders and sinners are not involved in playing the instruments or leading the Lord's people in His worship. TEXT: Psalm 137: 1- 6 KEY VERSE: Psalm 50: 16. But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, or that thou shouldest take My covenant in thy mouth? Thought for the day: It is not the presence of musicians that gives life to the church, but the presence of God

RESTITUTION FOR THEFT/STOLEN ITEMS, TREACHERY AND EMBEZZLEMENT (PART 2) TEXT: EZEKIEL 33:14-16 DATE: FRIDAY 7th JANUARY Key Verse: Ezekiel 33:15-If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. The Bible says that if God says to a man that he is going to die because of a sin he has committed or because of that which was stolen by him and that if he lives onward in righteousness, he shall live and not die. God is detailed about the steps man must take to reverse death sentence. As Zacchaeus did, theft of money or material things needs confession, repentance and restitution to individuals, institutions or the Government. Treachery, cheating, “419”, embezzlement, requires confession, repentance and restitution. The person cheated may choose to receive his money or material possession back, or may decide to forgive and not require payment. It is indeed acceptable. In that case the person making restitution is relieved. Ezekiel 33:14-16 14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; 15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. God is not in haste to judge anybody; He is not political. He meant to take people who are pure to Heaven. He meant to take, even if it is only one person who qualifies among men, to Heaven and abandons the rest. Therefore, you who wants to go to Heaven, God would want to help and support you to make it. But He wants to be thorough with you so that when you get there, you will not become another Lucifer, who will cause grievous heart-break for HIM. So He wants a thorough work in you. Co-operate with HIM for the thorough work of righteousness in your life. He is going to give you grace to do a perfect work of personal righteousness; He will make a way for you to achieve the task. You do not just steal and tell God you are sorry; sorry is not enough. If you are truly sorry, then return what you have stolen and God will know you are truly sorry, because forgiveness of sins is a practical thing. Forgiveness of sin is cancelation of sin. It is cleansing of bad records of sin. Then if that record has to be cleaned, it has to be restituted in sanctity. Thought for the day: complete all your restitutions for your perfection and Heaven

TEXT: JEREMIAH 32: 6-9, 16-17 Key Verse: Matthew 19: 26-But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them…with God all things are possible. The One who made heaven and earth says, is there anything too difficult for Him? Has He not power to do what seems right to Him? Come to this level of faith that nothing is too hard for God and tell Him so. When you come to plead with God for your problems, tell Him you know Him well enough to be convinced that nothing is too difficult for Him. That is why you believe He will solve that problem for you. By yourself, you cannot do it. Even if you engage the services of professional men or women, it still cannot be done. If you continue to look up to man, that matter may remain unresolved. It is beyond any power on th earth. But with God, all things are possible. Please, prepare yourself to walk with this God by faith. Always believe that all things are possible with Him, as you relate with Him by faith. Luke 1: 37- For with God, nothing shall be impossible. With the involvement of God, all things that you desire will be done. With God, the Lover of your soul, the great unbeatable Power, the miracle Worker, nothing shall be impossible! Turn to God. Submit your heart to God. Turn that predicament over to God in faith. Let it be a project that you are bringing before HIM, informing Him that you are believing His promises and confessing His promises. That you are praying on His promises and equally keeping His promises; that you are looking up to Him and holding on to His promises. It shall be done in victory! ALLELUIA!!! Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: The Lord your God wants you to just believe Him. He is saying, I have concluded on that matter that has been a concern to you. I will bring it to pass for you at My appointed time. The One that knows the end from the beginning is the One talking to you. He has finished and concluded on that your matter already. He is only waiting for you to agree with Him by faith to do it. He calls those things which be not, as though they were. That is how God does things.

NON-OBSERVANCE OF HOLY COMMUNION IS DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD (PART 1) TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-33 Key Verse: Luke 22:19-And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. The Lord Jesus said, "Does Pastor Ohanebo of Watchman know that he is causing My children under him to sin by denying them the privilege of obedience to Me through partaking in the Lord’s Supper?" I instituted this rite to achieve many things in My Church: (1) To always bring them before God in soberness to strengthen their faith in Me their Lord and Saviour, (2) To gather them together in brotherly love to see themselves as one, (3) To bestow My grace and blessings upon them as they serve and worship Me, (4) To make them lift up My name before the unbelieving world as the living Lord and Saviour of the world. There are other reasons beyond these for the Lord’s Supper. The Lord continued, "Please, help Me ask him, does not My word say if you obey all My commandments and offend only in one, you are guilty of all? Did I not say you should serve Me by faith? Why should he fill himself with doubt and unbelief at My commandment and has caused many to stumble?" "Although he may be preaching well, his persistent disobedience towards Me without repentance has made Me to turn away from blessing his words; hence, his words have no impact in his audience." "Besides, his disobedience has opened a doorway to the devil, who has penetrated into Watchman Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement to harden the members and cause many evils among them." "The word he preaches does not have the power to effect the change in them because of his disobedience toward Me. My heart bleeds for Ohanebo of Watchman. I see him working hard, trying to please Me, but with a hardened heart, not obeying all My word." "You all know that I cannot compromise My truth because of man. I will judge with righteous judgment. Obedience is better than sacrifice!" Thought for the day: The Holy Communion is the word of God, observe it. |
HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director DATE: SATURDAY 15TH JANUARY TOPIC: METHODS OF FAMILY PLANNING TEXT: PROVERBS 25:16 & 27 Key Verse: Proverbs 22:3-A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. Family planning is essential to control child bearing. The couple therefore must seek medical advice. The method must not be the one that kills an already formed child. Whatever method you use, it should not be the one that makes you a murderer. Medical advice becomes important here because, “Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors, they are established”. Proverbs 15:22. Some say, they use withdrawal method so that the semen is not spilled inside the woman but outside, and in that way, they are able to control situations. What caused the slaying in Genesis 38:8-9 is wickedness, for refusing to do good to a fellow man and for hardening the heart. It is not that when your semen falls out, you have sinned. If the method of withdrawal serves you, that is okay, go ahead. It is not wickedness against your wife or wickedness against any other person. It is because you want to keep to the scriptural wisdom that advised you, in order to control the number of children you have. It is not a sin. Proverbs 25:16 Hast thou found honey? Eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. Some use condom. It is okay if it satisfies you. In all, any method which is suitable to both the man and the woman and is not an offence against God, particularly not killing an already formed child, that is advised, that is clean, that is righteous, is accepted. You may say, ‘this method will affect me, it is risky and it will do this and that’. Tell me the thing in life that is not risky; what is that thing in life that you do that lacks risk? Even drinking water is risky if you do not drink with care, it might go through the wrong way and choke. Risk is part of life but we manage risks and move forward and live. Therefore, use that method which is suitable to the woman but wisdom must come into it also. It is not wise for you to say, ‘let us go to remove the womb’. The woman is still young and in the events of life, the husband may die and she may need to marry another man. So why are you removing the womb? Who has told the two of you that you will live together till old age? Take it to God in prayer, He will guide you. The Lord wants your peace. Exercise wisdom Thought for the day: Always seek for godly counsel and don’t perish in your ignorance Song for the day: My God knows the way through the wilderness, all I have to do is to follow Him… Bible reading for the day: Genesis 36-37; Matthew 12:1-21
