For taking your time to study Remain  blessed. TOPIC: THE POWER OF AN EXEMPLARY LIFE              JULY SUNDAY 1st TEXT: Matthew 5:13-16 KEY VERSE: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5: 16 The Lord is calling you to a life that sets good example. That life is called the life of light. You are a light to the world. You are a city built on a hill. You are a light that is lighted and put on top of the table that men may see, that men may be helped, that men may see the way and follow your life as an example. There was a testimony from an unusual source about the exemplary life of a Christian living in one of the northern states of Nigeria. A Muslim was speaking to a fellow in the classroom as this person passed by. It was in a university campus. The Muslim said if that man would come and preach Jesus to him he would believe. He had seen his exemplary life. That is the power of an exemplary life.

This is the continuation of yesterday's message. 5. Searching Out the Truth for Yourself. Knowledge has to be turned into understanding for it to be useful. Knowledge is raw data that needs processing to become understanding. Wisdom is application of what is understood. When you pour water in the top container of a water purifier, you ! don't drink from that container. You wait for the water to pass through purification process and trickle into the bottom container, then the water becomes fit for drinking. You need to take time to study and search out truth in order to in
HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE - Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA (Int'l Director) WednesdayJune 27, 2018 TOPIC: BEWARE! TEXT: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Key verse: 1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be yeah therefore sober, andwatch unto prayer. Don't just pray, also be very watchful because the days are evil. In your watchfulness, beware of the following: 1. BEWARE OF FALSE MINISTERS (2 Timothy 3:1-5). A man came to a pastor and said “My dog has just died; he ask the pastor please can you conduct a burial ceremony for my dog?” The pastor replied, "What are you saying? This is a church for heaven's sake. We don't do that here.” The man responded, "Oh pastor, do you know any other person in town that can do it for $10,000?"The pastor's face lit up and he said, Oh, I didn't know your dog was a Christian." Be watchful, by their fruit, you shall know them. 2. HAVE NOTHING T
For taking your time to study remain blessed. THE INVITATION IS OPEN, YET NOT ALL CAN ENTER JUNE Tuesday 26th Text: 1 Timothy 2:3-5 Key Verse:  John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: God desires that all men be saved and come to Him in heaven. He made a provision in His Son, yet not all can be saved. In truth, only few of the dead are going to heaven. In the days of Noah, only eight were saved. Then, they used to live very long up to about a thousand years. So, whatever the population of the world was then, it must have been running into billions, yet all perished in hell except eight. So, speaking figuratively, the gospel being preached is to save just eight people! Don’t think this message of holiness is for everyone. The gospel of truth is for some, the rest are going to hell and they are in multitudes for only a few shall be saved. If you are not ready, there’s no problem - your name is a

In what way is God indebted to man? Has God not been good to man all the days of his life? Can you then imagine man colluding with Satan to oppose and dethrone God in spite of His love, mercy, grace, blessings and care? This is why some people's prayers are not answered. You cannot be in Satan's camp and pray against satanic oppression. But why would man oppose his Creator and Benefactor? A pastor was bitter with God that he went for evangelism and he came back to find his wife dead. As he was grumbling, he heard a clear and audible voice, "That is the

DIVINE ENCOUNTER WITH LATE PASTOR JOE RIKWEN (PART 2) JUNE Sunday 24th Text: 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Key Verse: Col 4:17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. Mummy Linda’s divine encounter with late Pastor Rikwen continues … “Please tell my brethren, the Coordinators of HOREMOW to do this work with all their hearts. See me now, although I am grateful to God that I escaped hell and made it to heaven, yet I am not happy that I did not do much for Jesus in His Movement, because I was thinking of myself and personal interests. I didn’t get much rewards and my mansion is a small one.” At this point I saw his mansion, it was beautiful but very small compared to others. Pastor Rikwen told me that he is regretting not putting in his best in the HOREMOW work because he knows that some of his brethren are going to receive much greater rewards from the Lord for HOREMOW work, and that

Moses permitted putting away because of the hardness of their heart but this was outside the perfect will of God. From the beginning God made them one man, one woman. “A man shall leave his father and mother” means he shall leave the control of father and mother to enjoy the company of his wife. Same for the wife. Don't be under the control of your parents. You are now of age and God is the director of the marriage, not your parents. Rushing to them to report every offence or to seek counsel on every issue is wrong. Disagreement is part of life and what builds up marriage. Remember that God brought you from

One day, Professor Mallum engaged me in a discussion at Alone With God, near Kwali, Abuja, Nigeria. He said, “Young man, come, so you are from Taraba?” I said “Yes sir, I am from Taraba State.” He started asking me things about the Senate, about former Governor Dariye and we got  talking about politics of Plateau State and how he lost the governorship ticket. So, when this testimony was going on about looking for how you can succeed, I had no doubt in my mind that he had those struggles because sometimes they put it in your mind that when you follow these instructions you are g

Acts 13:36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw no corruption. David started serving the Lord at 17 years of age doing great exploits. Even before then, he was serving in his father's shepherding business. In today's reading text, the Lord says you can study events of time and know this is the time the Lord is coming. There is a generation that's the last. The generation that will not die before Jesus comes. The signs will reveal it. Matthew 24:37; But as the days of Noah were , so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. There i
For taking your time to study remain blessed. SERVING THE LIVING GOD JUNE Tuesday 19th Text: 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 Key Verse: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Nigeria is known as the mist religious country in the world. Are you looking for God? Then come to Nigeria. Are you looking for great men of God? Then Nigeria is your sure destination. Are you looking for great signs and wonders? I say again, come to Nigeria. In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. The Lord knoweth them that are his. In Nigeria you have all kinds of churches. All kinds of names. All kinds of pastors. All kinds of congregation. Like the Athens, people are busy worshipping God they know not. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE
For taking your time to study remain blessed THE MINISTER IS TO TEACH ALL DOCTRINES, NOT SOME OF IT JUNE Monday 18th Text: Matt. 28:18-20 Key Verse: Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. Mat 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. Jesus’ command to His disciples when He gave the Great Commission was to teach EVERYTHING he has commanded for all believers to observe. Jesus did not segregate commands such that some churches will specialize in teaching on deliverance, another on holiness, another on breakthrough or another on prosperity and so on. Isaiah 28:9-10 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10  For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. After people are born again, they need to

They view that statement as preposterous. This classification is of the Lord, not of any man, and the reason for it is not far-fetched. HOREMOW is one ministry that teaches the whole counsel of God. HOREMOW does not hinder the move of God or hinder His medium of communication to His people - whether by scripture or revelation. HOREMOW does not manipulate the word of God to exploit the people. The leadership of HOREMOW live clean and holy lives and set good examples for their followers. They a

PRESERVING YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS – PART 2 JUNE Saturday 16th TEXT: 2 PETER 1:8-11 Key Verse: 2 Peter 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is a continuation of yesterday’s message. LIVE BY THE WORD OF GOD. The energy to stand firm and determined is gotten through the word of God (Psalm 119:9-11). John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. People are practicing Christianity outside the bible. Handset, Facebook, Whatsapp, TV, football have taken first place instead of the word of God BE PRAYERFUL. One of the attributes of God is that He answers prayer. Psalm 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. You need prayers to preserve your righteousness and holiness. Why are you grumbling when you have not asked from God? John 16:24 Hitherto
HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE - Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA (Int'l Director) FRIDAY JUNE 15, 2018 PRESERVING YOUR CHRISTIANLIFE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS ANDHOLINESS PART 1 TEXT: 2 PETER 1:3-7 Key verse: Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. You are saved as at today, and if rapture comes you will definitely go with Jesus. But rapture may not come today or tomorrow. This is the reason you must know how to preserve your life in righteousness and holiness. The life of a Christian is constantly at risk and being attacked by Satan, your father, mother, son or daughter or friend could pull you down. This is why Jesus says in Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Here are instructions for the preservation of your Christian life. PURPOSE YOUR HEART FOR HOLINESS AND HEAVEN. Fix your heart on holiness. Fix your heart in he

Revelation from Sister Linda's encounter with late Sister Amos continues… “I pleaded that my husband and children should be brought to heaven now. The angel told me he was not in the position to answer my prayer. He said, “ONLYYOUR SAVIOUR CAN ANSWER YOU AND BRING YOUR LOVED ONES HERE.” I went to the Lord and pleaded that my husband and children should be brought to heaven now. The Lord said, “PEOPLE ON EARTH ARE PRAYING TO ME NOT TO TAKE YOUR HUSBAND NOW.” But I told Him, “Lord the people on earth will not understand.” In a moment, I was told that my husband had come into heaven. What a joy! Tell Pastor Paul Rika, what a privilege I have now in

The Lord acknowledges that some good work has already been done on the members of these backslidden churches by their founders. Some good seed has already been sown in their soil. Some of the initial ministers of these churches were true and righteous. It is that, their congregation turned off from the way in the later years. For their eternal life, the Lord has to send His true and righteous servants to them: (1) To open their eyes to Jesus, the Lord and Saviour. (2) To turn them from the darkness of sin to the light of righteousness. (3) To deliver them from the power of Satan and make them children of God. (4) To make them enjoy forgiveness
HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE - Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA (Int'l Director) TOPIC: ADULTERY SHOULD BE FORGIVEN EVEN AS CHRIST HAS FORGIVEN YOU Tuesday JUNE 12, 2018 TEXT: Mark 10:1-12 Key verse: Mark 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Matthew 5:31-32; [31] It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: [32] But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery In spite of this scripture, how many men in the Old Testament put away their wives? Not even Prophet Hosea whose wife committed adultery. That tells you it was never the practice because it was not part of God's original plan in marriage (Matthew 19:8). However, there are some conditions under which divorce is acceptable: 1. You

And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: 15. And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desiredof Him.” The following are the reasons why God's children must pray that the Lord may spare Nigeria. (1). If the Lord was ready to spare Sodom and Gomorrah for just 50 righteous in it, then He must spare Nigeria; for we have more than fifty truly righteous people in it. (2). Nigeria is the glory of Africa and a hero nation among them. It is the joy of black Africans and a leading nation in politics, commerce, education, mineral deposits, wealth and many other areas. The presence of Nigeria in Africa subdues the inferiori

CHOOSE LIFE JUNE Sunday 10th TEXT: GENESIS 2:15-17 Key Verse: Deuteronomy 30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: God placed two options before Adam - to live or die. God will not force his will on any man, including the choice of eternal life (John 3:16-18; Matt. 28:19-20). Adam made a wrong choice. Adam's bad choice introduced the miseries we are experiencing in the world today - wickedness, evil, diseases, poverty, injustice and death. Has man learnt any lesson from the error of Adam? Not quite! With the exception of a negligible few, descendants of Adam from the first generation up till now have continued to make wrong choices in life, for the wickedness of man is great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart is only evil continually. God has placed befo

DON'T FEAR IDOLS OR SHRINES JUNE Saturday 9th Text: Isaiah 46:1-10 Key Verse: Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Isaiah 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid … Is there a God beside me? … I know not any. The Devil puts people in bondage by creating fear in their heart. One of the things that causes this fear are idols and shrines. They are feared, they are worshipped, they are sacrificed to. People do all these things in ignorance believing that these idols or shrines have some powers to protect, to deliver, to prosper and to elongate their lives. But God is saying, fear not the idols for they are harmless. They are nothing compared to your Great God. Their incantations and spell cannot work on you. You are shielded by the power of God. What operates in these idols and shrines are demons - wicked spirits who hate

A man wore a T-shirt with the inscription: God is too busy to hear you, can I help you ... Says Satan! A man ordered a shipload of bibles and offloaded them in the Atlantic Ocean to spite God. The man is still living and making money. A man needed an unborn baby to make money ritual so he kidnapped a pregnant woman, ripped open the belly with a sharp knife and used the baby for the ritual. He became rich, popular and a notable philanthropist so much that he even built a church for God. Why is God so patient? 2 Peter 3:8-10; [8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of
