TOPIC:  THE TESTIMONIES OF PETER ISAAC (5): MAN PROPOSES BUT GOD DISPOSES 

TEXT: PSALM 107:1-9 
1. O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good: For His mercy endureth for ever.
2. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3. And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, From the north, and from the south.
4. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; They found no city to dwell in.
5. Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
6. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses.
7. And He led them forth by the right way, That they might go to a city of habitation.
8. Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9. For He satisfieth the longing soul, And filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

KEY VERSE: PROVERBS 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord and He pondereth all His goings.

My father knelt down, praising God in tears for sparing my life. At that time, I could not respond because it was as if I left this world for some time. It was my father that narrated the events that happened to us. Our driver was trying to overtake another vehicle in a bend when suddenly a trailer loaded with cement emerged at top speed which led to a terrible collision. 

Our bus summersaulted several times before it was wedged by a heap of sand. Then it burst into flames. Eleven passengers were burnt to ashes, especially those from front seat towards the middle. 

God used the driver of another bus to rescue us. After our bus caught fire, others cars would slow down and move on when they saw the intensity of the fire but this driver slowed down when he saw that the fire had not reached the back of the bus where we were. 

He continued going but a voice told him to go back and rescue those people so he stopped, reversed back, off loaded his passengers and they came and rescued us from the fire. The lady in my front was burnt halfway but was still alive in coma. I don’t know if she survived in the hospital or later died. Only those of us at the back seat survived.

When I was discharged from the hospital, my mother showed me the burnt vehicle at the accident site. I was very weak. The intense heat had peeled much of my skin. They began to carry me up and down for treatment to see if I could regain the use of my legs. 

My own plan of travelling out of the country in March 2020 and the devil’s plan of killing me before that date all changed to God’s divine plan to save my soul and use me in His vineyard. I was taken to Benin and several efforts were made both by conventional and herbal doctors as well as bonesetters to try to fix my bone all to no avail. 

Unknown to them, my bone was not broken but was pulled out of joint. This was confirmed later when I did an Xray to ascertain the actual situation. It was discovered that the bone would require a strong force to normalize it. 

Thought for the day: “There are many devices in a man’s heart, nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.” Proverbs 19:21

Song for the day: The Lord knows the way through the wilderness, all I have to do…

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 15-17

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 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. 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 diligent...
