DATE: SUNDAY 1st AUGUST TOPIC: MY BOND WITH YOU IS UNBREAKABLE TEXT: ISAIAH 41:9-14 Key verse: Isaiah 43:1 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.   My child, the bond between us is unbreakable because you are My chosen one. The company you keep is with the Architect of this universe in His infinite wisdom. Everything you do, everywhere you go, My presence and My influence surround you. But for the closeness of Myself to you, you would have been in the gravest danger many times. It is because you are precious to Me, that I surround you with My almighty protection. What I have done for you no one else could do. The future may seem uncertain to you, but you know that I will not leave you to walk alone for a single moment. It means much to Me that you share My life. Gen 22:1-3, 10-12 … God

DATE: SATURDAY 31st JULY TOPIC: THAT CHILD IS A PRECIOUS GIFT GIVEN TO FULFIL A DIVINE PURPOSE TEXT: Psalm 127:3-5 Key verse:  Isaiah 43:7 Even every one that is called by My name: for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. God is the giver of children. Every child given by God has a purpose to fulfil in His will. Genesis 33:5 And he lifted his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. No child comes into the world by accident or without a divine purpose. It is God that gives children. He gives them by His grace to mankind. Children are ignorant, innocent little human beings, male and female, conceived and brought into this world of sin and Satan, to fulfil the will of God their Creator. God gave them for a purpose, to fulfil His will. That is why you should not look commonly at

DATE: THURSDAY 29th JULY TOPIC: GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT IN THIS LIFE TEXT: Matthew 6:25-34 Key verse:  Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Don't be careless with life. It is dangerous for your soul. Some circumstances come upon some people and make them lose hope and begin to live carelessly as if all is lost. This should not be so. One of such circumstances is widowhood. Widowhood should not make you lose your focus in life as a Christian. If you have the right orientation about life, you will discover that even in your widowhood, you can live better for God and serve God better Are you ready to live for Jesus? Are you ready to take widowhood as a higher divine calling? Do you want to escape hell and go to heaven? Then get your priorities right! Some wrong priorities beset widows. One of such is the passionate desire for marri

TUESDAY 27 JULY RECEIVE YOUR HEALING BY FAITH TEXT:   Luke 8:43-48 Key verse: Acts 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. The term 'incurable sickness' is what men use to describe some sicknesses that have defied all medical solutions. In our reading text, was that not the experience of the woman with the issue of blood until she met Jesus? What men call incurable is curable with God. Where men's effort stops, that is where God's miracle begins. Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.” Jesus bore all our sicknesses and diseases on His body by the stripes He received and He has commanded His ministers

You then become caught up in the cycle of My grace: Grace assisting you to make the right choices; godly conscience and decisions. Grace completing and fulfilling. If your heart is fixed — fixed upon Me — a far better way of living is yours to enjoy, moment by moment.  You see that My promises are not too good to be true! You may have to be drawn away from some earthly things, so that you may be more and more lost in Me. This can involve sacrifice — but remember that the way is straight which leads to My kingdom. Because you are Mine, you are being led along a road that will bring you to knowing Me with increasing clarity and pe

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.  DATE: SUNDAY 25th JULY TOPIC: MAKE GOD YOUR FIRST LOVE, NOT YOUR SPOUSE TEXT: Luke 14:26-27 Key verse: Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment   Scripturally, husband and wife are one flesh. Bible says in Matthew 19:5, “And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?” But they are not one soul or spirit.  Bible says in Ezekiel 18:4, “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”  This means the race of heaven is individual. The eternal destiny of the wife is not necessarily the husband and vice versa. Though joined together in marriage, each person of the union has his and her race of salvation to run. The righteousness of the hu

The force against you is a strong one. The power you are contending with maybe a strong power like the widow's experience in today's devotional text.  The Bible says the judge was wicked. He had no fear of God, neither did he regard man. Who then would move him? This was the kind of person this helpless widow was facing in battle. The widow came to him and said, “My opponent is taking away my property. Please judge the case between me and my opponent and give me back my property.”  But this judge was so wicked that he did not respect the widow. He did not pity the widow. But the

Key verse: John 16:23, 24  23 And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. Verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name, He will give it to you.  24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My Name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your  joy may be full.   Ask in My Name – this means to ask in My place, ask for My sake, ask for My glory, ask the Father in My Name as My representative. I tell you whatsoever you shall ask as My representative on earth, it shall be given unto you.  Whatever resources you need for

FOR  TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED DATE: THURSDAY 22 JULY TOPIC: LIVING IN LOVE AMONG BRETHREN TEXT: 1 John 4:7-8 Key verse:  1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love  one another.     What makes Heaven beautiful is not the properties in Heaven. It is not the buildings or mansions of Heaven. It is the love of God that is spread abroad in Heaven; it is the love of God that sinks into the very cells of the occupants of Heaven. They feel very happy, they are excited, they are happy.  What makes a little child rejoice and start laughing as the mother throws him up when she plays with him? It is not the food in the feeding bottle, but the excitement of the love of the mother. As the mother plays with the child, the child is excited and he keeps laughing. There is joy in his heart because he is loved.  What makes people very happy in the church is love. When they come to the church and they see smiles on the faces of the people towards them; t

Today's message is aimed at identifying and settling misgivings and misunderstandings that some people may have concerning the mission, mandate and mode of operation of Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide. The title, “Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide” was given by Divine Revelation.  According to the testimony of Brother Michael Thomas Sambo. It was first mentioned by Satan as he expressed his fears of an imminent revival of holiness in the world to his cohorts. It was subsequently mentioned in several other revelations where the Lord spoke of the Movement and the leader He has set over it, who is Pastor Paul Rika.  The Lord's emphasis i

He wants us to do well to remember His works because if we forget, forgetfulness has its implications. That was the reason why holy communion was given to the Church for Jesus said, “ This does in remembrance of me.” God wants us to remember good things for good reasons. He also wants us to remember some evil things because He has used those evil things to work out wonderful good for our lives.  Forgetfulness is the plague of humanity. It hinders the blessings of many. Joseph was in prison with the chief butler and the chief baker; he interpreted their dreams for them and told the chief butler who was in charge of the king's wine that he was going to

MONDAY 19th JULY PRAY DOWN REVIVAL TO FILL THE CHURCH WITH ORIGINAL CHRISTIANS TEXT : Isaiah 62:6-7 Key verse: Isaiah 62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. God made you a prayer warrior and you dumped the function. He thought he found a person in you to overthrow those demons and witches that have taken over the whole place. God thought he had gotten a prayer warrior in you. He thought you will bring those forces down, but you gave up in prayer. Why did you stop that prayer? You would have changed things if you had persisted in prayer. God raised up watchmen in the past and He will do so again. They will bring changes to our society; they will bring changes to the nations; the watchmen God will raise in Holiness Revival Movement will change things.

SUNDAY 18th JULY TESTIMONY OF SUPERNATURAL HEALING AND DELIVERANCE – Part 2 TEXT: : Acts 9:32-35 Key verse: Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, My Deliverance: In the month of April, before Easter, 2020, I came to a shop in Romi and a man was listening to Pastor Rika's message on MP3. When I heard the message, I was captivated. I drew closer to the man and asked him, “Sir, can I join you and listen to this message?” He replied, “Yes, you can come and join me.” When I sat down with him, the message continued to the end. The man of God then began to pray and he said, “Whatever is troubling your life; sickness or afflictions, receive your healing in Jesus name.” At these words

THURSDAY 15 JULY GOD BECAME A “SON” FOR THE WORK OF REDEMPTION TEXT: Matthew 1:20-23 Key verse: Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Jesus became a human being so that He would be born on earth and possess human nature, for the purpose of the redemption of mankind. This was prophesied by Prophet Isaiah about 700 years before His birth. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us, a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. “A Child is born unto us” means He was conceived and born as a child because of us. “A Son is given unto us” means He would be called the Son of God on earth because of us. Why was this

WEDNESDAY 14 JULY YOU CAN LIVE FREE OF SIN TEXT: Psalm 51: 2-4 Key verse: Psalm 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. The evil things you do convicts and disturbs you. You are responsible for them. You acted them out by your willpower. You exercise your will power wrongly to do evil, to speak evil, even to abuse God. A woman once called me and said, “I am having blasphemous thoughts in me against God. I don't know what to do. These thoughts keep coming. What should I do?” I said, “Those thoughts are not coming from you but from Satan. God does not count them as sins against you because you have not accepted them.” They are like a mosquito disturbing you. You must make up your mind to destroy that mosquito. You are not guilty because those thoughts are not from you. Satan o

TUESDAY 13th JULY WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT TEXT: 1 John 1:5-7 Key verse: Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: The first pronouncement of God at creation was, “Let there be light!” Before that pronouncement, the world was in total darkness and void. As man cannot see in darkness, so God cannot operate in darkness. God is light and there is no darkness in Him at all. Jesus is the light of the world. He brought the gospel message to turn people from darkness to light, from sinfulness to holiness, to save them from hell and give them eternal life in heaven. John 1:4, 5 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Darkness belongs to Satan and his human agents. It is their comfort zone. They are comfortable there because darkness provides for them a cover to perpetuate sin and do

MONDAY 12th JULY THE WORD OF GOD IS SPIRITUAL FOOD FOR THE SOUL TEXT: Psalm 19:7-9 Key verse: Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Today's devotional text shows us the characteristics, qualities, and attributes of the word of God which are as follows: I. The word of God is perfect – there is nothing to do to add to it or subtract from it. It is just perfect! II. The word of God is sure – it is certain. There is no ambiguity about it. There is no uncertainty about it. It is sure and dependable. III. The word of God is right – what God says is right. The commandment of God is always right and can never be faulted. IV. The word of God is pure – it is pure. There is no error in it. There is no dirt in it. It is pure. V. The word of God is clean – the word of God is clean and without blemish. There is no dirt or filthiness in it. It has no

SUNDAY 11 JULY MY CHILD, WAIT UPON ME TEXT: ISAIAH 40: 27-31 Key verse: Isaiah 25:9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.   I wish My children while on earth to live more and more in heavenly places. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I AM must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out, Yes, immerse yourself in Me, and do not look anxiously within yourself to see what you are becoming! My child, wait for much upon Me

SATURDAY 10th JULY GOD IS THE REVEALER OF SECRETS TEXT: Jeremiah 33:1-3 Key Verse: Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Nebuchadnezzar dreamt a dream. He wanted the revelation but he had even forgotten the dream itself. He could have asked God to remind him of the dream, but he didn't. Nebuchadnezzar, why asking your magicians and wise men? Why didn't you go to God directly? God is there for us. God is there for our peace. God is there for our safety. Why are you doing damage? Why are you struggling? Why are you worrying and fighting when God is there? Why don't you ask God for the revelation? When his guards began to kill the magicians and wise men, they looked for Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to kill but there was a difference. Daniel 2:13-19 13 An

FRIDAY 9th JULY THE LOSS OF A SPOUSE IS NOT THE END OF LIFE TEXT : Isaiah 54:4-5 Key verse: Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. We all know that in marriage, when one partner dies, it is often a painful experience for the surviving husband or wife as it leaves a big vacuum in the home. This is especially true if the departed partner had played his or her role well in the marriage union. They must have become used to each other, sharing many things in common in times of joy and in times of difficulties. They must have been comforters and encouragers to each other in the course of their relationship. Naturally, widowhood throws up some challenges which include: Financial burden – one person carrying the responsibility of two people alone, loneliness, and yearning for companio

THURSDAY 8th JULY DO SOMETHING TO SAVE THAT SOUL GOING TO HELL TEXT: Romans 10:11-15 Key Verse: Psalm 40:9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. Passion for souls works heaviness and continual sorrow in the heart of a soul winner for those who are perishing without Christ. So, saints weep and mourn for perishing souls. Can you hear the mourning of a saint in the following scripture? Lamentation 1:16 For these things I weep; mine eye runneth down with water because the comfort that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate because the enemy prevailed. Are you not going to cry for your family that this old devil has prevailed against? Are you not going to cry for the churches that gather under falsehood? Are you not going to cry and say “Help O God, the devil has prevailed!” That old devil laughs anytime he gets a s

WEDNESDAY 7 JULY COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS AND THANK THE LORD TEXT: Psalm 124:1-6 Key Verse: Psalm 46:7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Do you remember that time of social disturbances when you were cornered and bullets were flying here and there? But you know that it wasn't by your expertise that the bullets didn't hit you. It was just Jehovah God that did it. Do you remember the delay you had in marriage and how you lost hope of becoming a husband or wife to somebody? But see you now, a happily married person. What about the delay in childbearing like Sarah who said “Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.” Can you count them all? What about getting a job and several other things? Deliverances, provisions, connections, successes, and all. But do you remember them at all? Do you remember those pro

MONDAY  JULY 5th LEADERS SHOULD RULE  RIGHTEOUSLY AS THEY WILL GIVE ACCOUNT TO GOD 2 Thessalonians 3:7-9  Key Verse: 1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth, but be thou an example of  the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Leader, pray for yourself, pray for the people, pray to know what you will do, pray to know what you will say so that the Lord will guide you in every respect. Reject anger and be patient. The anger in your life weakens the people you are leading. It is a temptation to them. They will not fear God anymore but you; and they will seek to please you. Your anger makes the people confused. Be patient because people are bound to make mistakes. Even if it were to be you, you will make mistakes. Why do you behave as if everyone should do everything perfectly at once? Bear it to give the people room to develop. Seek wisdom; seek understanding. Again, make proper in
