BE LOVING AND FORGIVING AS I AM

For taking your time to study remain blessed.

TUESDAY 24 AUGUST
BE LOVING AND FORGIVING AS I AM

TEXT:  Romans 12:17-21
Key verse:  Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 

Where there is hostility or opposition, My followers must always have the courage to go through with what is right. As they do, I strengthen and protect them. Weakness and expediency only store up future trouble. Remember that you can be firm without being vindictive. You must always pray for those who seem to be against you — and then show patience while I work upon that situation. You can expect to find hostility or coldness in lives not ruled by Me. Whenever you possibly can be loving and forgiving — even if it means that you can be hurt or where there is no response, you know that no person and nothing can harm you!

Psalm 34:1-8 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 

Because I indwell you by My Spirit, I know in the very closest possible way, all your conflicts, all your longings, all the things which can cause you distress. So many circumstances can cause My children sorrow and pain, but they only serve to draw them closer to Me — or to make them realize their utter need of Me. Each heartache, each struggle, can be used to deepen trust or can be used to teach new truths. It is when I see you in great need that My love and compassion are made most real to you. My child, because you have responded to My call, however imperfectly, I have made you My responsibility. You are assured of My nearness at every moment, whether or not you sense that nearness.

Thought for the day:  forgiveness makes you live at peace with God and man.
Song for the day: Be like Jesus, every day in your life…
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 120-123; 
1 Corinthians 6

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
