TOPIC: PRISCILLA’S MOTIVATION TO THE GOSPEL WORK WITH PAUL  Friday November 1st TEXT: Act 18:18-19 KEY VERSE: Romans 1:15 “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. “ Paul took with him Priscilla and Aquila on his trip to Syria and Ephesus. He used to travel for Gospel work with Barnabas but suddenly changed his approach. This unanticipated changed in companionship was due to Pricilla and Aquila’s commitment and loyalty to the gospel work with him. Priscilla’s actions in the gospel work with Paul show that she was not a careless woman in her quest to serve the Lord. She was desirous to serve God regardless of the potential risks. Her heart was in total submission to the Lord. In today context, some gospel ministers’ wives may choose to take the back seat by giving unworthy excuses to their God fearing husbands, when it comes to cooperating with them in the gospel work. Such women don’t want t

TOPIC: THE HISTORY OF HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT (PART 3)  Thursday October 31 TEXT: Revelation 2: 8-11 KEY VERSE: Renelation 2:8 “And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;” When they asked me why I published that book, I told them, the Lord Jesus came to the Easter Retreat of Deeper Life Bible Church Takum, Taraba State with two of His angels in a divine revelation and took Michael Sambo in a death experience to heaven and to hell and gave him message to humanity. But I noticed that the members of the Deeper Life were afraid to hear him because of the uncertain reaction of the General Superintendent (GS). Being fully informed about the incidence and convinced about the divinity of the message, I contacted some relevant overseers to take Michael Sambo to the GS so that he too can hear and verify the incident, but they were afraid. Hence, I decided to bring

Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. “ QUESTION: Some denominations do not believe in tithe payment. I want to be cleared Sir and another thing is that some people pay tithe directly to ministers, is it right? ANSWER: (Part 1) From our text we see this case before the children of Abraham were born, before the law was given, maybe about 400 years after Abraham was paying tithe. He paid tithe to a man called Melchizedek and Melchizedek who was he? He was the priest of the most High God. He was the minister of the Most High God. We didn’t have the details of Melchizedek but Abraham would have known him, Abraham would have been convinced about him, Abraham would have been well directed to do what he did knowing that it is to God as a priest, as a mini

TOPIC: TOUCH NOT THE LORD’S ANOINTED (PART 1)          October Tuesday 29th TEXT: Numbers 16: 5-14 KEY VERSE: Numbers 16:4 “And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:”  Korah spiced up his story with false accusations and challenged Moses on the way he led the congregation of the Lord. He alleged that Moses was proud and was trying to take too much unto himself as the leader. He was very strategic with this operation of trying to win the people to his side. He started out with the sons of Reuben because Moses was of the tribe of Levites and according to the birth order, amongst the children of Israel, Reuben was the first born and their tribe ought to have been in the leadership position. However, God changed everything by electing the Levites as the officers over His people. Therefore, he started out by reasoning with the tribe of Reuben, to get them to think like him and gather a crowd unto himself in this evil plan against Mose

TOPIC: PROVISION OF ABLE MEN FOR MARITAL COUNSELING           October Monday 28th TEXT: 1 Kings 4: 29-34 KEY VERSE: 1Kings 4:29 “And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.” There are many able men and honourable counsellors, like Moses in the Old Testament,  Joseph of Arimatea in New Testament and in contemporary time like Pastor Paul Rika, his wife sister Linda Rika; coordinators and women leaders in Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide, whom God has equipped to solve your marital problems. There are many counsellors who have healed many marriages through counselling. A certain sister in HOREMOW has been used by God as an instrument through whom many sisters have recovered their husbands. There was a case of a sister who almost dropped from the ministry because of her unbelieving husband’s attitude. Through the counselling of this sister counsellor, t

TOPIC: HEALING, MIRACLES AND DELIVERANCE.           October Sunday 27th TEXT: Mark 16:17,18 KEY VERSE: Psalm 107:20 “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” The word of God is the word of healing, deliverance and miracles The name of Jesus heals the sick and delivers the oppressed from evil spirits. Believers are commanded to use the name of Jesus in prayer for healing, deliverance, prosperity and miracles for themselves and for others in need. Healing, deliverance and miracles are valid today because Jesus is alive forever. We receive healing through faith and prayer according to God’s word of promise and the power of the name of Jesus. Healing and miracles are part of the gifts of the Holy Spirit to bless God’s people. Consulting medical practitioners for treatment, be they conventional or herbal is not contrary to God’s word but consulting with familiar spirits for protection, healing and del

Saturday October 26th TOPIC: DESOLATION AND RESTORATION AS SIGN OF SECOND COMING OF JESUS – Part 2 TEXT:  Isaiah 11:11-12 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. The name of king Cyrus featured prominently in Isaiah chapters 44 and 45. It was prophesied that at the appointed time Cyrus would conquer Babylon and pronounce liberty for Israel to go back home, to prepare for the first coming of the Messiah even though Cyrus did not understand what he was doing. God does not need your approval to use you, so He used Cyrus. The only thing is that you will not get the reward if you are unwilling. He says, “As long as I live all kneels must bow to Me.” So, if you are not willing, God will still use you but you will not get the reward. Another person God used like that was Jeroboam the second. He was not a godly king but everything God said he would do, he
For taking your time to study remain blessed. October Friday 25th TOPIC: DESOLATION AND RESTORATION AS SIGN OF SECOND COMING OF JESUS – Part 1 TEXT: 2 Chronicles 36:15-20 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 44:28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. Jerusalem was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar completely. He made three incursions in 605BC, 597BC and 586BC. In 586BC he leveled Jerusalem, took the people away, killed many, destroyed the wall of Jerusalem, burnt the palaces, destroyed the house of God, took the vessels in the house of God to Babylon, took Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and many other Jews away as captives. However, for Jesus to come the first time, Jerusalem had to be restored. For this reason, God had to raise a man at the appointed time, called king Cyrus. He had mentioned the name of Cyrus 170 years before his birth. When Jerusalem was destroye

TOPIC: THE HISTORY OF HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT (PART 2)                 October Thursday 24th TEXT: 1 John 2: 12-14 KEY VERSE: 1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. A spiral bound copy of the revelation message was given to the General Superintendent through his wife, and another copy through the church secretary. I hoped that by his personal interaction with Michael Sambo and reading the revelation message, he might believe that God was involved in it and would allow it to spread freely. However, when we met with him and I introduced Michael Sambo and the revelation he had received from the Lord Jesus Christ, he was sceptical and said, when Lazarus was raised from dead he did not come with revelation message. He however said he would read the revelation message we had submitted to him and told Michael Sambo to continue with his study and not to leave his school because he has received revelatio

October Wednesday 23rd QUESTION AND ANSWER SERIES (TRUE AND FALSE REVELATION)  TEXT: 1 John 4: 1-6 KEY VERSE: 1 John 4: 6 “We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.” QUESTION: How can a believer differentiate between true and false revelation messages because there are some with conflicting messages especially on how women should handle their hair? ANSWER: (Part 2) The Bible calls the Government, those in authority over us ministers of God. Here the government empowers the military and paramilitary and God recognizes the sword, the weapon they are holding and God is saying if you do not want to be punished by their weapon, behave well in the society. If you behave well in the society, the gun they are holding will protect you. They are criminals so that you can live well in the society. The Bible says if you do that which is evil b

TOPIC: BEWARE OF STRIFE AMONG BRETHREN         October Tuesday 22nd TEXT: NUMBERS 16: 1-4 KEY VERSE: Numbers.16: 3  And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? We want to consider a case study that will prove to you how much damage ‘SELF’ can cause in a church or amongst believers. We will be considering the case of Dothan, Korah, and Abiram. Korah, like all other Levites, was called by God to the office of ministering and presenting offerings in the tabernacle. Aaron, on the other hand, was singled out to be the high priest and in addition to that, God ordained that the priesthood should be in his lineage that is through his sons. When Korah noticed this position given to Aaron by God, he reasoned within him

TOPIC: SEEK FOR MARITAL COUNSELING FROM ABLE MEN          October Monday 21st TEXT: Exodus 18: 13-23 KEY VERSE: Proverbs 11:14; “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” If your marriage hurts, cry out, do not die in silence. There are many hurting partners who don’t want to open up due to: (1) They don’t want to disgrace their marriage partner. (2) Their carnal backslidden partners have warned them not to tell anybody their secret. (3) They think the matter will get better by self management, but they find that their situation gets worse. (4) They don’t trust anybody with their secrets. To them everybody is bad including their pastors, who may betray them. (5) They feel the matter is irreparable or their carnal partners are incorrigible, so they resign to fate. (6) They may term going for counseling as gossiping their family. (7) God will intervene at his own time, so they remain in bo

TOPIC: THE DOCTRINES OF SANCTIFICATION AND HOLY GHOST BAPTISM   October Sunday 20th TEXT: John 17: 1-26 KEY VERSE: John 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” Sanctification is a biblical word that carries two meaning in the Bible. This first meaning is separation, dedication, set apart to God for holy use. In this respect, persons, things, and places can be sanctified or set apart unto God. In this respect Jesus was sanctified by God the Father for human salvation; Jesus sanctified Himself for the holiness of the believers. The second biblical meaning of the word sanctification reveals sanctification as a second definite experience required in a believers by which the Holy Spirit by means of Christ’s word and His blood renders a believer purified for inherited sin, original sin, inbred sin that often weighs down the heart of a believers, the sinful pollution of pride, envy, greed, malice, anger and the likes.

TOPIC: ANSWERS ARE WAITING FOR YOUR PRAYERS           October Saturday 19th TEXT: Jeremiah 33: 1-3  KEY VERSE: Ezekiel 36:37 “Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.” Do not expect things to fall in place automatically in your life. Let us imagine that God gives somebody something to keep for you and told that person that any time you come to ask he should release it to you; but that if you do not ask, he should still keep it for Him (God). Or imagine that the Lord told the angels: “Here are these blessings. As you go to that worship service (or you go to that man’s house, or that woman’s house, or as you enter that Church) hold these blessings. All those people that open their mouth to ask for something, listen to them and release the blessings to them as they ask.” The instruction has been given to the angels already. Suppose you

TOPIC: PRISCILLA’S SACRIFICE TO THE GOSPEL WORK         October Friday 18th TEXT: Romans 16: 3-4 KEY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 16:19 “The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.” She listened to Paul and did what he instructed her to do. The holy scripture of God shows how Priscilla sacrificed her house for the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in order to reach out to others. There is a blessed reward when you obey and humble yourself to true and genuine ministers of the gospel. Priscilla understood this secret of the gospel without pretending as the Pharisees. The Pharisees build the graves of the prophets and painted them white as a way to show respect but inwardly practice deceit. They claimed that if it were their days they wouldn’t have killed the prophets of Israel as did their fathers. In other words, they would have treated the prophets nicely and with resp

TOPIC: THE HISTORY OF HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT (PART 1)                  October Thursday 17th TEXT: Luke 1: 1-4 KEY VERSE: Luke 1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. My relationship with Michael Sambo, a young man that found grace in the sight of God to be used in a peculiar way in this end time, played an important role in the early stages of Holiness Revival Movement. Both of us are Kuteb by tribe from Taraba State, Nigeria. He was born in 1981, while I began the Christian Ministry in Deeper Life Bible Church in 1983. He became a member of Deeper Life Bible Church later in life, along with his parents. In 2003 during the youth retreat of Deeper Life Bible Church, he received the visitation of the Lord Jesus Christ, who took his spirit through death experience to Heaven and to Hell and showed him Scriptural realities. The Lord sent him back to the earth with special message to t

QUESTION AND ANSWER SERIES          October Wednesday 16th TEXT: Romans 13: 1-4 KEY VERSE: 1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. QUESTION: How can a believer differentiate between true and false revelation messages because there are some with conflicting messages especially on how women should handle their hair? ANSWER: (Part 1) Let me clear this case with us. There are people who believe or who think that all these people who profess that Jesus has appeared to them or has taken them to heaven and hell or given them revelations, you are all thinking that they are members of Holiness Revival Movement or that they are Ministers in Holiness Revival Movement. It is not so. There are some of these people who are on their own. Some of them we invited them maybe will wanted to carry them along but they are interested to be on their ow

Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.  When I was growing up, I had a strong desire to serve God and to do much for Him, but then this desire was getting to my head until I came across a book titled, “The Final Quest’. That book humbled me. Why are you struggling for greatness? Do you know that many great men of God who served before us and made it to heaven are in the lower part of heaven? They barely managed to enter into heaven! Why? They did great works for God on earth, but all was done in the flesh. So what has it profited them? It was at this point I realized the futility of carnal struggles, and I let go of the fleshly striving. If it is the Lord's will for me to perform a task or get to a particular position, He will do it. I will not pray more than my stre

I later came to understand that it was God speaking to me, remembering that this was not the first time I heard Him speaking to me in such a way. I got converted to Jesus Christ through the same manner and ever since, this has been one of the major ways He speaks to me. Here is what He told me about Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide: Holiness Revival Movement is My Move on earth. I am gathering all My children all over the world an

TOPIC: BELIEVE AND BE BAPTIZED TO BE SAVED Sunday October 13 TEXT: Matthew 28: 18-20 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Salvation from sin is the supernatural experience performed in a sinner who has believed in Jesus and has accepted to follow Jesus with all his heart. By this experience the Holy Spirit by means of God’s word and Christ blood performs wonder in his heart and life, turning from sin to righteousness, darkness to light, the power of Satan to God and His ways. Salvation from sins is a gift of grace in Christ for all who genuinely repent of their sins and accept the Lord Jesus Christ in their lives. This experience is also called; (a) New creature 2Corinthians 5:17. (b) Forgiveness of sins Titus 3:5. (c) Regeneration Titus 3:5. (d) Reconciliation with God Colossians1:21,22. (e) Red
