For taking your time to study remain blessed. April 1st TOPIC: TRUST GOD TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE    Text: Matthew 7: 7-11 Key verse: Psalm 125:1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. In Your Marriage: How well do you know that man or woman you are desperately running after for marriage? Trust God to reveal your heaven-ordained marriage partner to you. Put all problems and prospects of your marriage in the basket of trust and leave them there. In Your Health: God is the true and unfailing solution provider to your health challenges. Believe God and trust Him to overcome all your health challenges. In this matter, the medical report of doctors is irrelevant. Lazarus will rise again! In Your Daily Bread: Trust God for what to eat and drink every day. Trust God for your clothing and shelter. You may have a desire to serve the Lord but you need His empowerment for you to do so. When you serve Him, He

March Tuesday 31st TOPIC: THE POWER OF DISCIPLINE TEXT: Jeremiah 35:1-10 KEY VERSE: 1Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. In today’s reading text, we see Jonadab as an example of a self-denier. He was a man of high discipline, who also inculcated discipline in his children. He observed that the children of Israel had backslidden and he being a righteous man, did not want his children to join them in their rebellion against God.  Jonadab, in his fear of the Lord and love for Him, instructed his children to keep away from the children of Israel so that they don’t get polluted as well. They must avoid practicing everything the children of Israel were practicing. He took them to a location and asked them not to build a house but to live in tents, and they should neither plant vineyards nor drink wine.  He gave clear

March Monday 30th TOPIC: GOD IS SEEKING VOLUNTEERS TO REMOVE THE SIEGE OF SATAN AGAINST THE CHURCH TEXT: 2 Kings 6:24-30 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. In today’s bible reading, study the situation and understand the spiritual sense of it. Physically, Benhadad the king of Syria wanted to capture Samaria and destroy it. Because he was stronger and had bigger army, he brought his army and surrounded the wall of the city, waiting for anyone that would come out or just let the gate open so they could enter the city and capture it. When the children of Israel saw this, they shut the gate and no man went out or came in. This went on for a long time and they soon ran out of food since they could not go out to replenish their stock of food. Things got so bad that even the excreta of dove were being sold. Can you imagine that kind of

March Sunday 29th TOPIC: DON'T BE TROUBLED OR GO INTO SORROW BECAUSE OF MARRIAGE TEXT: Psalm 115:9-11 KEY VERSE: Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Spend more time in the things of God than thinking about marriage. Bible says in Colossians 3:1-4: [1] If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. [2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. [3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. [4] When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. This is not to say that you should abandon or neglect family issue or give priority over church matters than family matters, no! But, let your focus be on heaven. God should come first, after that your family, then your ministry or church. Don't be overburdened or go into sorrow because of marriage or b

March Saturday 28th TOPIC: DELIVERANCE FROM AUTISM – By Seraphine Epie (U.K.) – Part 2 TEXT: Psalm 107:21-22 KEY VERSE: Psalm 40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. (Continued from yesterday) Going back home, I knew God was the final solution. I equipped myself for battle in scriptures and prayers. I got advice to always play good gospel music in my son’s room especially at night. I prayed and prayed for hours every night in his room while he slept. I prayed, I sang, I cried. I was always reminding God of His promises. I thank God Almighty because He did not fail us.  The Lord is indeed faithful to His word as He set Elnathan free from the spirit of autism. Just weeks into the prayer we noticed he started sleeping peacefully at night and was no more screaming. We also noticed that he started doing unimaginable things like spelling the names of
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Friday 27th TOPIC: DELIVERANCE FROM AUTISM – By Seraphine Epie (U.K.) – Part 1 TEXT: Isaiah 41:9-10 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. I live in the UK and attend the Birmingham Unit of Holiness Revival Movement. I had my son Elnathan in the UK on September 2012 by caesarean section. As time went on, it was discovered that he had hearing problems and so had to undergo operations and grommets were fitted in his ears. As if that was not enough, at the age of four he could neither talk nor understanding anything that was said. He was always very aggressive. He was referred to a Speech and Language Therapist and offered free extra nursery days in an effort to change the situation. One other disturbing thing was that our son could not sleep at night. He often screamed in the middle of the night and ran away from his room to ours as if something was ch
For taking your time to study remain blessed March Thursday 26th TOPIC: TRUSTING GOD IS SOMETHING THAT SWEETENS HIS HEART Text: John 15: 1-5 Key verse: Hebrew 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Everyone that comes to God must believe that God is and able to handle his matter. Coming to God with this understanding requires that you cast all your burdens upon Him, for He cares for you. It is good that a man should both hope and wait patiently upon the Lord. This life of trust in God is a profitable exercise. Trust pleases the Lord and when the way of man pleases the Lord, He makes His enemy to be at peace with him. If you want the peace of God in every matter, believe Him and trust in Him continually. This will draw the presence and power of God to your life. Trust will bring the riches of heaven down to s
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Wednesday 25th TOPIC: DIVINE COUNSEL IS PROFITABLE TO THE SOUL TEXT: Proverbs 1:20-33 KEY VERSE: Proverbs 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. Because of the pitiable condition of the Laodicean Church which they knew not about, God gave them a counsel. Revelation 3:18 “I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” Can you see the counsel? Buy from Me gold tried in the fire. Why is the gold tried in the fire? It is for the purpose of purification of the gold; that the dross can be burnt out, leaving only the pure shining gold! In this scripture, pure gold symbolizes the undiluted word of God. God is saying the word of God going on in that church is not pure word, it i
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Tuesday 24th TOPIC: PHYSICALLY ALIVE BUT SPIRITUALLY DEAD! TEXT: Revelation 3:15-16 KEY VERSE: Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot The Laodicean Church was a Church of Christ running under a minister like any of our local denominational Churches or fellowship groups today. God spoke about this Laodicean church in today’s reading text saying, “Thou art neither cold nor hot.” The Church was there quite all right and you could hear the noise but that was all to it. This thing is a matter of the heart, not a matter of the eye. If a fat man dies, his dead body will still be looking fat. It he was fair complexioned; his face will still be looking light. But the doctors have instruments to check the heart condition and confirm whether this man looking nicely dressed is dead or alive. In the same manner, God can assess and confirm the spiritual state of a church –
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Monday 23rd TOPIC: THE DRESSING OF THE GODLY WOMAN TEXT: 1 Timothy 2:9-10  KEY VERSE: Proverbs 7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. In a time when the owner of the souls of men is about to come, instead of people to cleanse themselves from all forms of ungodliness, they are rather going deep into the fashion the devil introduced to destroy them in hell. The devil has penetrated the church of Christ and is using his agents (fake pastors) to keep people in total darkness and bondage. As a Christian woman, the way you dress matters because the Bible says, without holiness, nobody can see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). Many have the wrong notion that God only looks at the heart and is not concerned about our outward appearance or how we dress. Such notion is from people who are ignorant of the essential properties of holiness. The Bible says, for this same emphasis of holiness of lif
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Sunday 22nd TOPIC: GOD’S PATIENCE IS NOT TOLERANCE FOR SIN TEXT: 2 Peter 3:1-11 KEY VERSE: 2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. No man determines his class; it is God that does the classification. I don’t know which class God has put you, but one thing I know is that it is the person whom God sees as holy that He puts to honourable use. The man of truth, righteousness and holiness is the man God puts into honourable use. I also know with certainty that the corrupt and evil ones; the sinners, liars, adulterers and the disobedient who are among the ministers are put into dishonourable use. When they are coming up to minister, angels have no cause to smile. They are still there because of the forbearance of God. The wisdom of God is playing on them. Does the Lord reward them? Does He give them food to eat? Yes, He does
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Saturday 2 1 st TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF RESTITUTION TO GOVERNMENT – Senator Emmanuel Bwacha TEXT: Psalm 37:5-6 KEY VERSE: 1 Thessalonians 2:10 There was this very serious restitution I did. I was once the Chairman of the Committee on Police Affairs of the House of Representatives and I remembered the things that transpired when I was in office - the bribes, the monies that exchanged hands before one could attend to any proposal etc. So when I remembered all those things, I decided to go and meet the incumbent Inspector-General of Police. When I met him in his house and he saw me (he knew me well because when I was in the House he was quite a junior officer but at this time, he had risen to the peak), he said, “Is there anything my Chairman?” I said, “I have come to you on a different matter.” Then he sat to listen to me. I said to him, “Do you remember this and that event that happened while I was serving as Chairman?”
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Friday 20th TOPIC: MAINTAINING THE HOLY LIFE TEXT: 2 Peter 1:4-8 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Many Christians today think it is impossible to live a holy life. This is not true. Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible. To God be the glory; we in Holiness Revival Movement have come to the clear understanding that living a holy life is not a mission impossible but an imperative for going to heaven. As saints of old lived it, died and went to heaven, we too are living it and going to heaven one after the other. Hallelujah! How is this made possible? Holiness of life is made habitual and possible through the followings: 1. Regular meditation on God’s word. Psalm 119:7, 11 7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned t
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Thursday 19th TOPIC: DO YOU NEED A HUSBAND OR WIFE? THEN FOLLOW DUE PROCESS! TEXT: Isaiah 28:9-10  KEY VERSE: Psalm 118:8-9 [8] It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. [9] It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. Don't put your confidence in man's choice. They may be doing it to help you because they think you are ageing but they are leading you into sin. God may not be in it. Sometimes, it is you that approaches them because you think they are clairvoyant. Go to your Father by yourself. Yes, others can join you in prayer but let God make the choice of a future partner for you, for He is the only one that sees into the future and knows the end from the beginning. Let nobody turn himself or herself into a matchmaker.  Don't go into boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. That is the way of the world. Don't entice anybody to yourself. If you do that you have enga

March Wednesday 18th TOPIC: STEP UP YOUR EVANGELISM TO SAVE THESE PERISHING SOULS TEXT: Matthew 7:13-14 KEY VERSE: Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. In today’s bible reading, the scripture presents to us the two ways open to man in this life: the broad way and the narrow way. The narrow way has to be preached to people and the people have to be persuaded to walk in it because only a few are willing to walk in it, even though it is the way that leads to life. The broad way is the natural way of life and many are following it either consciously or unconsciously. It is the way of destruction. It is the way of death. It is the way of eternal damnation in hell fire. Men are born into this world of sin and are completely ignorant of God and His righteous demands. They are following the wrong way ignorantly and completely unaware of God’s expectation from them. The
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Tuesday 17th TOPIC: THE HOLY SPIRIT IS INDISPENSABLE IN THE LIFE OF A BELIEVER TEXT: Acts 1:1-5 KEY VERSE: John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; We are in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. That is why Jesus told His disciples not to depart Jerusalem until the Holy Ghost promised by His Father had come. The Holy Spirit takes residence in the believer when he becomes born again to guide and help him withstand the wiles of Satan.  Some of the roles of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers include: a) To teach us all things (John 14:26): He is our Teacher.  He explains the word of God to our understanding thereby increasing our knowledge of God which leads to spiritual maturity. b) He brings to our remembrance all things (John 14:26): The truth of the word of God is constantly brought to our remembrance for our reproof, correction and instruction
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Monday 16th TOPIC: NEW LIFE IN CHRIST IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT RESTITUTION TEXT: 2 Peter 1:19-21 KEY VERSE: Ecclesiastes 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. Some people argue that when the Bible says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17), it means that they should not bother about the damage they have caused people in the past, or about the money they borrowed ten years ago, or that they should not bother about lies they have told in the past. One of the rules of interpretation of the Bible is to compare scripture with scripture. You cannot just take one portion of the scripture and run with it because it has its own mates (Isaiah 34:16). No scripture is alone or of private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20). They are interrelated. For every scriptural p
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Sunday 15th TOPIC: THE LORD IS WORKING WITH US IN HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:12-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. As it was in the beginning so it is up till now; God is working with us in Holiness Revival Movement. Jesus has often spoken and told us how much we please His heart. He has always told us how much we wipe away His tears in this perverse world where genuine Christianity has become a scarce commodity. It is only a person speaking through the lying tongue of the devil that would say sin has entered Holiness Revival Movement or that God is no more there.  Rise up and continue for the Lord has a commission for our lives. We are not of them that draw back into perditions. Those that drew back in time past, where are they now? They saw the light of God shining and found fault
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Saturday 14th TOPIC: WAKE UP AND PREPARE FOR RAPTURE! TEXT: 2 Peter 3:13-15 KEY VERSE: 1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. My brother, awake! My sister, awake!! Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The rapture is about to take place. Thank God you revived before it was too late for you. Awake to your personal spiritual life and to the vision the Lord gave you. Awake to the commission the Lord handed over to you. Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Time is no more, for the night is far spent. It is almost day break for the time is now 4:00am. In a little while, the cock will crow. In a little while, the trumpet will sound and usher in the rapture. Awake to y

March Friday 13th TOPIC: YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS BATTLE TEXT: 2 Corinthians 3:4-5 KEY VERSE: Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. Elisha was following Elijah and they came to river Jordan. Elijah took his mantle and smite the river, it divided into two and they went on dry land. Elisha watched it and when he was returning after Elijah had departed, he followed the same process. Did the river part? Of course it did. God was behind the action. I want to let you know that if you follow the leading of the Lord in any matter, result will follow. When we go for crusade we watch our superiors. Blind eyes are opened as we hear our superiors say, “I command you blind eye, open in the name of Jesus. All ye pains, all ye sicknesses, by the authority of Jesus, get out!” Thereafter, the people came forth and were giving testimonies that sicknesses had gone. It

March Thursday 12th TOPIC: YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD IN SIN AND EXCEL TEXT: Luke 13:25-27 KEY VERSE: Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. It is a contradiction to expect to serve a holy God in sin. Unfortunately, this is what obtains in most churches today. The Lord told the Laodicean Church, “buy from Me white raiment that you may be clothed so that your nakedness should not appear.” What is that white dress without defilement? It is righteousness. The Lord is saying you must be clothed in righteousness. When the prodigal son came back home, what did the father say? He said, “remove the rag that is on him and cloth him.” Remove that rag of filth and dirt on him and cloth him with righteousness. The Laodiceans were doing their Christianity without righteousness. Drunkards were pastors among them; witches and wizards were pastors among them; elders took alcohol e

March Wednesday 11th TOPIC: RUN WITH THE MESSAGE GOD HAS ENTRUSTED INTO YOUR HANDS TEXT: 1 Corinthians 9:16-19 KEY VERSE: Psalm 68:11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. Weather the people believe it or not, preach the word. All the messages on removal of jewelries, make ups, hair attachments, women trousers etc. for outward purification are forever valid, so continue preaching them. The messages on marriage restitution has not changed. Polygamy, divorce or remarriage while first lawful husband or wife is still alive is still a sin, so continue to preach them whether people believe or not. You cannot stop preaching the truth because of the opinion of contrary men. In preaching the truth is the salvation of souls. If you have left it or you have started to compromise, you must go back to it. The commission you have received is the same today as the day you first received it.  It is the commission

March Tuesday 10th TOPIC: REVELATION OF MANIFESTATION OF SIGNS AND WONDERS IN HOREMOW  Text: Mark 16: 17-18 Key verse: Isaiah 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. Below is the revelation Jesus showed to a brother in Holiness Revival Movement during the 2019 International Youth Conference at Holiness Campground in Kwali, Abuja, Nigeria: “I had a revelation how in answer to fervent prayers for supernatural manifestations of signs and wonders in HOREMOW, the Lord showed me some youths performing great miracles and doing exploits in Holiness campground. Witches, wizards and other occultic persons were convicted and they began to confess their evil practices openly. I was very happy and rejoiced greatly. Suddenly, I saw witches in Nigeria gathered in great anger, screaming and urgently calling international witches all ov

March Monday 9th TOPIC: TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD AS REVEALED IN SCRIPTURE  Text: Luke 3: 21-22 Key verse: John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and Am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. In the baptism of Jesus Christ, we see the trinity of the Godhead clearly revealed. The Father was in heaven and the Holy Ghost descended in the shape of a dove from heaven and miraculously rested on Jesus. Can we say the Holy Spirit is a dove? No, He is God! What about Jesus that took the body of man? Was Jesus a man? He is God! God can take any shape He desires for His purpose. So, even though Jesus took the shape of a man, He was actually God. Jesus assumed the dual personality of God-man.  It is a unique miracle! As man, he was lower than God the Father, but as God, He was equal with the Father. John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, b

March Sunday 8th TOPIC: GOD WILL RENEW YOUR STRENGTH FOR THIS BATTLE AND YOU WILL OVERCOME TEXT: Isaiah 40:28-31 KEY VERSE: Zechariah 4:7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Shake yourself from the dust. All these your clothes that have become brown need to be properly shaken to clean off the dusts. Shake them very well to recover the whiteness of your cloth. Get them washed in the blood of Jesus. Get yourself washed in the blood of Jesus and recover. We have others to bring to Christ, but not in this your filthiness. The Lord said you are my battle axe and you say you are no more functioning. I say, you will recover and rise again. Since the devil knocked you down, you have been lying there. Now is the time to get up and take your position in battle. Don’t lie down in defeat anymore. I remember the
For taking your time to study remain blessed. March Saturday 7th TOPIC: TAKE A RISK ON GOD AND ON HIS WORD TEXT: Psalm 73:25-28 KEY VERSE: Luke 5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. The safest risk you can take in life is that which you take on God. On matters of holiness, you cannot afford to have a double-mind even in the most difficult situations. Standing on the path of truth, righteousness and holiness is your surest course of victory in this life. Never compromise on holiness out of fear of man or its likely repercussions. Take the risk; it is your life! Take the risk and do the restitution you need to do without wavering. It is part of holiness, so make up your mind. Don’t be discouraged. Job held fast to his integrity and purposed in his heart that he would not transgress against God.  Job 27:4, 6 4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter decei
