THE DEVOTIONAL LIFE OF A LEADER

God bless you for taking the time to study. THE DEVOTIONAL LIFE OF A LEADER TEXT: JOSHUA 1: 7, 8  WEDNESDAY MARCH 1st  Key Verse: Songs of Solomon 1:6 Look not upon me because I am black because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.  Our scriptural text today has opened our eyes to the fact that our success in ministry is connected to our devotional life with God. Our progress in ministry is attached to our adherence to the commandments of God. As a leader, are you committed to studying the Bible always? Or do you preach much to others whereas your time and relationship with God are suffering? This is the peril of many ministers today. As a minister in the vineyard of God, know that as you get busier in His service, your devotional life will become more difficult. If this is not overcome, personal relationships with God will cease.  You may flow well in service and pulpi

REASON FOR OUR CONFIDENCE

God bless you for taking the time to study TOPIC: REASON FOR OUR CONFIDENCE  TEXT: 1 John 5:13-15  TUESDAY FEBRUARY 28th  Key verse: “And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us;” 1 John 5: 14  Why are we confident? It is because of the following reasons among others:  (1). The Testimonies of the Bible. God answered the prayers of Bible saints.  That gives us confidence today that He will answer our prayers too.  Psalm 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee shall all flesh come.  (2). The Historical Testimonies. These refer to the testimonies that we have heard from the history of Christianity up to our time. We have heard how God intervened in people’s lives and families; how God answered prayers over the Church, societies, and nations. That gives us the confidence that God will answer our prayers too.  (3). Contemporary Testimonies. These refer to testimonies of our fellow brothers and sisters - the ones we are wit

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: AN INSPIRED UTTERANCE ON HOREMOW TEXT: Titus 3:4-8  MONDAY FEBRUARY 27th  KEY VERSE: Titus 3:4 “But after that, the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared.” Sister Josephine Zechariah gave an inspired message during a program at the campground in 2015. The Lord’s message is presented here: “My children, why are you stubborn? I have spoken to you in revelations. I speak to you in dreams. I speak to you in prophecies. Why are you stubborn? Why are you stubborn? I have been sending My children. I have been sending My children to you people. Why? Why? I have told you I will soon come. Today, you harden your heart. Ah! Holiness Revival Movement! Why Holiness Revival Movement? This is the last ministry now. This is the last revival now.” “My children, I sent Pastor Paul Rika to deliver you from all your atrocities; from all your sins. How do you want Me to speak to you again? My children! Come and serve Me. Come and serve M

REQUIRED QUALIFICATION FOR WOMEN IN MINISTRY

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: REQUIRED QUALIFICATION FOR WOMEN IN MINISTRY TEXT:  Titus 2:1-5  SUNDAY FEBRUARY 26th  Key Verse: Titus 2:4 “That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children.” In these days of ministry, where husbands and wives fight at home, they live in bitterness, struggle, quarrel, and fighting and yet they come to preach the gospel, they come to sing the songs of the Lord. How would the Lord bless that? How would the Lord honor that? You are not talking to your husband for 3 eor even 7 days. If any little thing happens you will never talk or relate with that man for days, how will righteousness rule in that place? If you come to the altar, to give a gift unto the Lord and remember that your wife is making trouble with you or has something against you, drop that thing and go and settle it. See how much a wife that is not cooperating, a wife that refuses to understand can frustrate the ministry of that

TESTIMONY OF MIRACULOUS REUNION OF BROKEN MARRIAGE

God bless you for taking the time to study. TESTIMONY OF MIRACULOUS REUNION OF BROKEN MARRIAGE TEXT: Malachi 2:13-16  FRIDAY FEBRUARY 24th  Key verse: Hebrews 13:4 “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”  Narrated by a chapter leader: I heard of a couple that was having marital problems after being in marriage for many years. Their only daughter was over 16 years old. I visited and listened to them. After which I encouraged them with the word of God. Later, I heard that they have separated, although many people including pastors have counseled and pleaded with them to settle their differences. I visited the man again and asked him about his wife, he told me that she decided on her own to pack out of the matrimonial home. I collected the wife’s number and left. Next time I heard the case was in court for a divorce.  It was within this period that we had our chapter meeting and as God arranged it, the message of the Internati

GOD IS FAITHFUL

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: GOD IS FAITHFUL  THURSDAY FEBRUARY 23rd  TEXT: HEBREWS 11:8-12 Key verse: “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised).” Hebrews 10:23 Let it be settled in your mind that the One who gave you that promise you are claiming is faithful and does not change. He made the sun that has never ceased rising. The Person that gave you that promise is the One you can see His handiwork in the sun.  The sun has never failed to rise in the morning and set in the evening. The moon also has never failed to rise at its appointed time. The God that has promised you is the God that made the sun and the moon. Has there been any month in all the years past that the moon did not rise? Have you noticed any day in your life that the sun did not rise?  That same God will surely rise for you at the appointed time because He does not change and He cannot be stopped, believe what He has promised you and it shal

PRAY FOR THE REVIVAL OF HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: PRAY FOR THE REVIVAL OF HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS  TEXT: PSALM 12:1, 2  WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 22nd  Key verse: “Ask ye the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field”. Zechariah 10:1  The land is dry, the sky is clear, and everywhere looks dusty; ask God for rain. When you ask God for rain, the Lord will make bright clouds. When you ask God for rain, the Lord will cause the wind to blow – the wind that carries the water; and then, there shall be bright clouds and the rain will pour upon your land. Are you dry and empty? Ask Him for revival. Are you so prayerless? Ask God for revival and the Lord shall bring it. Ask for the revival of the Church to holiness and righteousness. Pray for ministers of God that righteousness and holiness will return to their lives and ministries.  The step God will take is known unto God. The step God will take t

THE SEPARATE PERSONS IN THE GODHEAD

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: THE SEPARATE PERSONS IN THE GODHEAD Text:  Ephesians 4:5-6  TUESDAY FEBRUARY 21st  Key Verse: Genesis 1:26a And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: There are three separate persons in the Godhead: The Father, The Son (also The Word), and The Holy Spirit. Each of these persons is God, Lord, Creator, and is to be worshipped.  The Father is eternal. He is the Creator and Lord. He is not a man. Only He should be worshipped.  The Son Jesus Christ (the Word) is eternal. He is the Creator and Lord. He is not a man. Only He should be worshipped.  The Holy Spirit is God and eternal. He is the Creator and Lord. He is not a man. Only He should be worshipped.  Acts 5:3-5 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine, heart, to lie to the Holy Ghost and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in their power? why hast thou conceived this th

ABRAHAM THE FATHER OF FAITH IN CHRISTIANITY

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: ABRAHAM THE FATHER OF FAITH IN CHRISTIANITY TEXT: GENESIS 12:1-3   MONDAY FEBRUARY 20th  Key verse: Hebrews 10:38 “Now the just shall by faith; but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him” From our text, you can see in this scripture the Lord chose Abraham. I am talking to you about the line of Christianity. The Lord chose Abraham, Abraham was barren, and he did not have children. The Lord said, [paraphrased], “Don’t worry, with your wife, I am bringing you up to be a great nation, the mighty shall come of you. Now through you shall be born one, who will be a blessing to all the people in the world”. So, you can now see what he was doing, it is a promise to Abraham, “Jesus will be coming through you and the seed I promised in the garden, I told the devil in the garden he is coming to destroy Satan and free mankind from him. I will pass him through you, Abraham”.   You can see what God has done and where Christianity

God bless you for taking the time to study.  TOPIC: PASTOR PAUL RIKA WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY TO HEAVEN TEXT: Psalm 32:7-11  SUNDAY FEBRUARY 19th KEY VERSE: Psalm 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with mine eye.” Continuation of Sister Eva’s testimony: I had to search for a holiness church in Ghana. A voice told me to search for holiness church on YouTube. When I typed holiness church in Google, a man’s picture appeared. A voice told me to watch that message. I did so. The man preached on the topic, “Beware of repercussions in your future.’ When I heard that message, I asked myself if there were still preachers like this on earth. In fact, for many years I have never heard a preacher who preached in power in the anointing of the Lord like this. As the message continued, a voice told me, “This is the man you saw in the dream riding bicycle to a city. Follow him. He will show you the way to the heavenly city.” I was shocked. So, this

MAJORITY OF SATAN’S VICTIMS ARE YOUNG PEOPLE

God bless you for taking the time to study.  TOPIC: MAJORITY OF SATAN’S VICTIMS ARE YOUNG PEOPLE TEXT: Lamentation 1:10-12  FRIDAY FEBRUARY 17th Key verse: Luke 17:32 “Remember Lot’s wife.” From testimony of Sister Finda, on the fate of those that missed the rapture: “The people were of different races and classes but majority of them were young people. The devil laughed as he said, “Look at you, is this the Jesus, you said you serve?” When he so, some Christians would cry with pains because they are conscious that they knew Christ. “Is this the Jesus, you said you love?” When he spoke, it would echo into your life. You would feel the pain, and then he will laugh. He was happy that he won such a large crowd. With tears I went to the devil and asked him, “What are these people doing here?”  He looked at me and laughed. When he laughed the pain would increase.  The devil said, “These are the people who did not make rapture.” I became conscious that the devil knows more about rapture than

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN ME

God bless you for taking the time to study.  TOPIC: IMMERSE YOURSELF IN ME       THURSDAY FEBRUARY 16th TEXT: ISAIAH 40: 27-31 Key Verse: “Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.” Psalm 28:4. I wish My children while on earth to live more and more in the 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 much upon Me.” My child, irrespective of what you consid

PRAY FOR ANYTHING YOU DESIRE

God bless you for taking the time to study.  TOPIC: PRAY FOR ANYTHING YOU DESIRE TEXT: JOHN 16:23-24    WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 15th Key verse: “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it”. John 14:14   Do you want to go to school? Ask. Sometimes you think it only depends on your intelligence. No! Tell God that you want to go to school. Tell God that you want to marry. Tell God that you want to do business. Ask God for your healing and sound health. Maybe you are even infected with HIV/AIDS; keep on telling God that you want to be healed. May be yours is a type of sickness the doctor has already told you that it can only be managed with diet and drugs; let your request for divine healing go before God.  Ask God for something. Ask! Is it not God that said you should ask? Is it not the Creator that said you should ask; that said you should bring that matter and table it before Him? Then ask.  You will be an obedient child if you will ask, as He said. The Lord said you can ask anything

MARITAL GUIDANCE AND INSTRUCTION FOR CHRISTIAN YOUTHS

God bless you for taking the time to study.  MARITAL GUIDANCE AND INSTRUCTION FOR CHRISTIAN YOUTHS TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:17-25  TUESDAY FEBRUARY 14th Key verse: Proverbs 18:22 “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD” It is the desire of God for His children to marry according to His will. God is aware that the whole world lieth in wickedness. We are not of the world and the world hates the righteous; therefore, it will be wrong to pick any woman you see for a wife or get married to any man you see. It is God that gives husband or wife. Proverb 10:22 “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” Don’t do it carnally by getting into a relationship with the opposite sex that may defile you. Avoid erotic play that arouses evil thoughts. Depend on God for He alone knows the partner that matches you. Be born again and check-up for hypocrisy on the other party. If the person refuses to be born again, don’t claim you will convert

SALVATION CAN BE LOST

God bless you for taking the time to study.  SALVATION CAN BE LOST  MONDAY FEBRUARY 13th TEXT: MATTHEW 14:22-33 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” Many churches teach that once someone is saved, he is saved for ever even if he sins, he would go to heaven. This is false doctrine and it encourages believers to sin. The case of Peter in today’s text illustrates how he got an experience, lost it and was helped by Jesus to regain it. The Lord responded to Peter’s request and bid him to come and walk with Him on the water but when Peter saw the boisterous wind, he feared and began to sink until Jesus stretched forth His hand, caught him and rescued him. This means that salvation brings you to Jesus but when temptation comes, you must call on Him to lift you up. Never claim once saved is forever saved, for there is no born-again sinner. With Jesus you will walk victoriously over sin. Learn

God bless you for taking the time to study. A NIGERIAN SOLDIER'S EXPERIENCE IN THE LAND OF THE DEAD (2) TEXT: Romans 9:14-18  SUNDAY FEBRUARY 12th  KEY VERSE: Romans 9:18 “Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.” (Continuation) When I finished reading, judgment came. I heard, “Look to your left and go there.” Before the voice that spoke to me finished talking, I found myself on the pathway on the left. The moment I took to it, I began to hear ahead of me terrifying voices crying, shouting, “Woe! Fire! And many other things I cannot describe here. I had not reached the place but the noise and the heat were terrible. The whole area was unbearably hot because of the extreme heat coming from the inferno of hell. The fire cannot be described in words. It was like a great bushfire rising and rolling up into folds. As I was about to go into the fire, I heard a voice say, "Son, your sins are forgiven you".  I was then told to go back int

God bless you for taking the time to study. A NIGERIAN SOLDIER'S EXPERIENCE IN THE LAND OF THE DEAD (1) TEXT: John 12:20-23  SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11th  KEY VERSE: Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” “It happened during the Nigerian civil war. I had enlisted in the Nigerian army, determined to fight on the battlefield. At the end of our training, I was made a quartermaster. I was to be in charge of the issuance of uniforms and ammunition to soldiers. In my heart, I loathed the quarter master’s work. I was itching to be a combatant soldier. I was finally allowed to fight on the battlefield. I wasn't quite three months at the battlefront when I was shot. When the bullet hit me, I did not know that anything had happened. I was enveloped in a thick darkness that cannot be described and I began to run. I did not know that I had died. While I was running in the darkness, I saw a spotlight ahead. I was happy. If I could pass through the darkness, I would enter into the l

CONTINUAL PRAYER GIVES VICTORY OVER THE ENEMY

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: CONTINUAL PRAYER GIVES VICTORY OVER THE ENEMY TEXT: LUKE 18:2-5  THURSDAY FEBRUARY 9th  Key verse: “I tell you that He will answer them speedily. Nevertheless, when the son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth? (Luke 18:8).  Here is prayer warfare against your enemies, the devil, and the forces of darkness contending with you. The power you are contending with may be strong. Like this widow, the Bible says the judge was wicked. He did not fear God, and neither did he regard man. Who then would move him? Here was this widow, a helpless woman. 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 there was one weapon that the widow used, which the Lord revealed to be very powerful and effective against the enemy. That weapon is continua

WORKING OUT YOUR REVEALED FUTURE

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: WORKING OUT YOUR REVEALED FUTURE TEXT: Ezekiel 33:12-13  TUESDAY FEBRUARY 7th  Key verse: ““And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.” Jeremiah 18: 9 – 10 I don’t know how your future shall be. It can be that the Lord is planning to make you a great engineer or a medical doctor to promote His name in the medical field; or an evangelist; or a farmer to do great things in that area for Him. God’s good plan concerning your future as an individual is not irreversible. Many people that God planned to give a good future are already dead now, many are mad on the streets. Many who went into immoral lifestyle are now suffering from deadly diseases. Some were affected seriously and some have died. Many youths got into some other things that landed them in pri

PASTOR KUMUYI’S PROPHECY ABOUT PASTOR PAUL RIKA

God bless you for taking the time to study. TOPIC: PASTOR KUMUYI’S PROPHECY ABOUT PASTOR PAUL RIKA TEXT: John 12:44-50  WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 8th  KEY VERSE: John 12:46 “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.” On a certain day while Pastor Paul Rika was still an overseer in deeper life, during a planning meeting of overseers with the General Superintendent (GS). The GS addressed them on the need for strategic evangelism and discipleship of foreigners within the country so that when they later return to their respective countries, they would carry the gospel message there. Then difficulties involved in sending missionaries and registering churches in foreign nations will be easily surmounted since these are their citizens bringing the gospel to them. He introduced the vision and asked how they saw it and when to do it.  Several overseers raised their hands to speak. The GS said, “Yes, Paul.” He said, “Sir, let us start this thing imme

The program was attended by about one thousand people. The Lord came to me and asked, “What do you want Me to do for you in this program?” I said, “Lord. You have been speaking about my future. You have been telling me about the future, about the ministry you have for me. I am not clear. Here in this program, I don’t know how, but since You have asked me what I want, I want You to make the future ministry You have for me clear.”  The Lord said, “I have heard you. Now I will do that for you but make sure you keep yourself righteous and holy in this p

REQUIRED QUALIFICATION FOR WOMEN IN MINISTRY

The wives must have control over themselves, they must be grave, not slanderers, not full of talk of the people the husband is pastoring, not full of criticizing people under the ministry of the husband, whether men or women, everybody, finding fault with everybody No!
