Repentance towards God is required because you have done evil against God and you want to stop it. Not hypocritical repentance because if you know God is angry with you for doing those things, you will not try it again. However, for those that have repented, you will discover that it is not by your power. You need to be helped, hence the necessity of faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ. Look to Me and be ye saved all the ends of the earth, for I am God, besides Me there is no Savior. God commanded Moses to make a serpent of brass and raise it up on a pole that whosoever looks on it shall be delivered from the poison of the serpent. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have eternal life. Look to Jesus, the poison of sin will die and the power of sin will be broken in your life. You will be set free and demons will clear out of your life because whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. If you have done this and sin is still in your life, then seek for help and prayer. Let the authority of the church pray for you. You have been hiding yourself for all these years and have become one of the leaders in the church but sin is still in your life.</div><div>Maybe you noticed witchcraft in your life when you were growing up. As you came into the church where the presence of God is, you did not confess your witchcraft; to meet the men of God there to pray for you and deliver you from the spirit of witchcraft. You have now become a big person in the church but still in witchcraft. The power of God can break sin out of your life. Confess your sin for if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive all our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The Lord has revealed this sin but you say, “Never! I do not know about it.” You will know hell because you have refused the truth that you might be saved. To remain like that in the church and think you are a Christian is deception. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Repentance must be practiced before sins are forgiven.</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Wash me O Lamb of God</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 19-21 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-61585390834160921072024-03-26T14:47:00.001-07:002024-03-26T14:47:43.693-07:00Anointing Differs Among Ministers According To Divine Purpose<div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study. </div><div><br></div><div>Anointing Differs Among Ministers According To Divine Purpose</div><div><br></div><div>TEXT: Numbers 11:16-17, 24-25 </div><div><br></div><div>Wednesday March 27th</div><div><br></div><div>Key verse: Romans 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints, given to hospitality</div><div>There are differences in the levels of anointing. You may be struggling to cast out a demon but someone with greater anointing may just walk in and that demon will say, ‘Sorry, I am going’ because he has checked the anointing and authority that has come in. The disciples asked, “Why could we not cast it out?” You will need to fast and pray but before the Lord, the demon departed. In medicine, some doctors do not handle certain cases but refer them to consultants. You need to acknowledge and recognize higher ministers in your life and ministry. Do not destroy the people of God by answering questions wrongly and giving unscriptural counsels.</div><div>The Spirit of God was upon Moses in great measure; hence he could do much. He was tireless in working for God. He had the privilege to see God face to face. The grace, power and anointing that was in Moses was high. God instructed Moses to bring seventy other men to help in his assignment and put a measure of the spirit in him on them to empower them to serve with Moses. Can any of them compare with Moses? That was the problem of Miriam. ‘Has the Lord only spoken by Moses? Has He not also spoken by us?’ Because of their little anointing. Do you know the measure of anointing upon Moses? The Lord struck her with leprosy. </div><div>Let the church recognize differences. Moses appointed judges to judge the smaller matters but asked them to bring the bigger matters to him. why do you force yourself to handle bigger matters? Just because you want a name? Just because you will not submit? Just because you will not obey God’s word? Is it that you do not know the truth? Do you want to claim false anointing? You read health technology and they gave you certificate. Does that make you a surgeon? Why do you want to carry out surgery? Go by the level of your training and refer bigger matters to save lives. These pastors destroy God’s work out of pride; everything should stay with them. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: There are differences in anointing; even the apostles knew this. </div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 17-18 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-61769375284870097682024-03-25T11:35:00.001-07:002024-03-25T11:35:41.911-07:00God is a rewarder of those that work for Him <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study. </div><div><br></div><div>God is a rewarder of those that work for Him </div><div><br></div><div>Tuesday March 26th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: 2 Kings 10: 26 - 30</div><div>Key verse: 2 Kings 10:18 “Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.”</div><div>God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labors of love, how much you have labored for the saints and do minister. Continue in that spirit for surely, He will come to reward you. God is a rewarder but He must reward those He called; whose names are in the Book of Life. If your name is not there where will your works be recorded? Else you were there but you later withdrew. You were really admitted into the school but you withdrew because you did not want to continue anymore. You withdrew or maybe the school dismissed you. If you later go back to school and start reading and working again whereas your file has been closed and your name is no more in the active register of the school. Where are they going to record that work? </div><div>A man worked with the government for thirty-five years, retired and was paid his benefits. He was used to his daily routine of waking early, taking his bath and going to office so, although he has retired, he still wakes early, takes his bath and goes to the office but there is no salary for what he is doing. Many people are working but there is no heavenly record. Please rectify the matter. Get connected to the living God so that your service should have reward. Get cleansed, restored and connected in righteousness and holiness of life that your service should be rewarded. </div><div>People that are not qualified to work for heaven do not seek the will or glory of God but their own will or glory. That is why they do not work for heaven. How can you work for God when you do not seek the honor that comes only from God but from men? You seek your own glory, do your own will and go for what you want without verifying from God. How then do you say you are working for heaven? Some work to please men; their General Overseers and those that watch over them. They that work in that spirit are not servants of Christ. They are satisfied with applause of men. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Get cleansed and connected in righteousness and holiness</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Ye shall be holy unto Me, for I the Lord am holy …</div><div>Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 15-16 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-16195618180638274772024-03-24T11:34:00.001-07:002024-03-24T11:34:59.631-07:00God Restored My Daughter’s Eyesight Miraculously<div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study. </div><div><br></div><div>God Restored My Daughter’s Eyesight Miraculously</div><div><br></div><div> Monday March 25th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: John 9: 1 - 5</div><div>Key verse: John 9:5 “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”</div><div>I am Pastor Matthew Zoeger and I am grateful to share this wonderful testimony from Liberia. On 6th of October this year, my 14-year-old daughter, named Hannah Koffa who lives with me informed me that she could no longer see. I questioned her to know whether the eyes had been giving problem but she said, “No.” We tested her and asked series of questions then, it became clear that she had gone blind. We took her to the JFK hospital. Three tests were done but they could not find the problem with the eyes and ordered for a brain scan. We went to another hospital and did two more tests. The brain scan report was negative and the doctor's report was that she has no chance of seeing again because the problem could not be determined. We were in prayers while going up and down to the hospitals. A three-days fasting and prayer was observed in my home to battle the situation. Afterwards, HOREMOW prayer team joined us in fasting and vigil while my family continued with the vigil the next day. On Friday, October 13, we joined 13 brethren that usually hold vigil for the Movement weekly. </div><div>We prayed for Hannah Koffa and in that vigil, it was a real battle as decrees were made believing that our Lord Jesus will do a miracle. I went to the radio station on Saturday, 14th October, 2023 for media outreach and came back to my house. As I entered the living room, my daughter, Hannah greeted me. I asked her of her condition and she replied with joy and excitement, “Daddy I can now see.” She began to tell me the colors of the clothes I was wearing and walked by herself to her room to select clothes for service the next day. The blindness lasted for 9 days and the Lord performed the miracle. The Lord's name must be glorified because even at the hospital a worker told the hospital that the amount charged should be deducted from her salary at the hospital since the eyes needed to be tested because we did not have 300 US dollars to pay on the spot. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Pray until something happens (P. U. S. H.)</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Call upon Me, in the day of trouble …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 13-14 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-45023301578131437592024-03-23T12:41:00.001-07:002024-03-23T12:41:20.400-07:00Jesus Is Your Healer And Deliverer <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study. </div><div><br></div><div>Jesus Is Your Healer And Deliverer </div><div><br></div><div>Sunday March 24th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Isaiah 53: 3 - 5 </div><div>Key verse: Mark 11:22 “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.”</div><div>When you desire healing and deliverance from satanic affliction and attack, you use personal effort, medical effort and drugs. You try other means but you forget Jesus. Child of God, how could you forget Jesus? Bring back Jesus to your active memory. The Lord that saved you is with you. Remember Jesus at that time. Some of these drugs may not work well or may delay. You worry, cry and get discouraged because you forget that Jesus is the Healer and Deliverer. Jesus is the supreme Healer. He is the deliverer. He heals using or not using drugs. He heals in all the terms of healing. He heals in all the perfection of healing. His healing is presently available. </div><div>Remember Jesus at the time of your sickness; He is the deliverer so turn to Him and be not discouraged. Have you tried Jesus? Don’t you know He is a healer and deliverer? Why do you rely on drugs alone? Are you discouraged and resigned to death? Remember Jesus because He bore our sins and sickness and by His stripes we are healed. Jesus purposely handled every matter of sickness. Jesus is the healer of all sickness beyond drugs. He does not need to use a man or some means to heal. Remember Jesus when you are sick; He bore our sickness. Remember His stripes; claim, believe and pray through for it. This is your benefit as a child of God.</div><div>Remember the authority and victory of Jesus over Satan and the host of darkness. When witches and wizards disturb like mosquitoes, when there is nightmares and unrest, when there is movement in your body of the evil power. When your mind is so subdued and clouded, remember the authority of Jesus: His power, His victory, that He is the conqueror. Remember the authority of His name. Remember Jesus at that time. Remember the wonder of His name. The power of His word. The victory of His blood. Then turn to Him. You struggled. You cried. You use drugs. You have tried everywhere. Now come to Jesus the active, present, ever-living Savior. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Seek Jesus by faith and prayer for divine healing. </div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: He touched me</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 8-12 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-41281733012288804852024-03-22T12:22:00.001-07:002024-03-22T12:22:17.522-07:00Satan Uses Seductive Dressing To Defile Men <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study. </div><div><br></div><div>Satan Uses Seductive Dressing To Defile Men </div><div><br></div><div>Saturday March 23rd</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Genesis 38: 13 - 19</div><div>Key verse: Genesis 38:15 “When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.”</div><div>Ungodly dressing and adornment destroy the sense of holiness, shamefacedness and sobriety in women and hinders perfection in believers’ lives. Many preachers called by God have been destroyed by indecent dresses of members. There are instances where a pastor sleeps with his members or rapes a person. Many heaven-minded believers have been destroyed by seductive dressing. This was one of the ways that Satan destroyed churches and it is still happening in our time. When true believers who want to serve God in holiness associate with people with indecent dressing and lifestyle, they either copy them or lust after it. Then, Satan destroys them by that. </div><div>Satan wants to penetrate into HOREMOW. This is one of the ways Satan destroyed other churches which we are aware of. They stood for holiness and righteousness before but were pulled down by corrupt dressing. Therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ has warned that He does not want similar seduction in HOREMOW and on our bodies because it is defilement. Believers must desist from this type of dressing. The Lord is warning the women in particular but I am including the men in this warning so that they should take care of their dressing as well because lust is also possible in the heart of the women when they see ungodly dressing and appearance in men.</div><div>Many are still failing because of dressing alone how much more of other types of sin. Adornments and dressings alone have damned many souls in hell. If we are not cautioned, many of our brethren will lust in their hearts and they will not make heaven. The woman that seduces men by her dressing will equally not make heaven because she has caused others to stumble and to fail to make heaven. These are agents of darkness. Many people are agents of darkness unknown to them. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Ungodly dressing and adornment destroy the sense of holiness</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Lord prepare me, a sanctuary …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 4-7 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-41229452314617705002024-03-21T13:47:00.001-07:002024-03-21T13:47:08.000-07:00Further Clarifications On Occurrence Of Rare Miracles <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study. </div><div><br></div><div>Further Clarifications On Occurrence Of Rare Miracles </div><div><br></div><div>Friday March 22nd</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Proverbs 3: 19- 23</div><div>Key verse: Proverbs 3:22 “So shall they be life unto thy soul and grace to thy neck.”</div><div>Jesus turned water into wine. It was an unusual manifestation of the Holy Ghost that happens once in a generation according to the mind of God. If you have a wedding and you need drinks, pray and plan in advance. Even if there is lack of drinks, pray for God to supply. Do not ask people to fetch water and fill water pots to turn them to wine as Jesus did. The seven sons of Sceva tried such and demons handled them very well. So, do not do such things. How do these signs follow those that believe? In my name they shall lay hands upon the sick and the sick shall recover; the normal way. Pray for the sick, lay hands and call upon God in the name of Jesus. </div><div>Believe and it shall be done. “For whosoever shall say to this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that what he said shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he sayeth”. Mountain signifies anything that blocks your way. Furthermore, in the ministry of Jesus we observe that at a time His garment healed the sick. Like the woman with issue of blood; many people thronged Jesus and many people touched His garment but her faith did it. She believed that if she touched the hem of Jesus’ garment she will be healed. When Jesus asked, “who touched me?” Peter wondered; everybody is pushing you and you ask of who touched You? There was a special touch of faith.</div><div>The Holy Spirit manifested in an unusual way, so she touched Jesus and got healed. The woman came forth and said, “I am the one”. Did the cloth of Jesus continue to heal the sick? If the cloth of Jesus had kept on healing the sick, men would have done everything to kill Him and take His cloth or thieves will deprive Jesus of clothes for healing business and say, “Now, whatever is your sickness, we have the solution here.” “Give me this power also that on whomsoever I shall lay my hand, he shall receive the Holy Ghost.” Certainly, for money. Peer’s shadow healed the sick but the shadow of John, Andrew or Paul did not. Peter’s shadow did not keep on healing the sick otherwise people will abandon Jesus and be following the shadow of Peter.</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: The unusual manifestations of the Holy Ghost are as He pleases.</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Jesus’ power, super power …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 1-3 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-70825643843893400332024-03-20T12:17:00.001-07:002024-03-20T12:17:33.862-07:00Clarifications On Occurrence Of Rare Miracles <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study. </div><div><br></div><div>Clarifications On Occurrence Of Rare Miracles </div><div><br></div><div>Thursday, March 21st</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Proverbs 1: 2 - 7</div><div>Key verse: Proverbs 4:2 “For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.”</div><div>Put your faith in God, not in aprons and handkerchiefs. There are unique miracles of God that He does not continue with and you do not ask Him to repeat them because He chooses to do them by Himself. He chooses to release those miracles and they may happen once in a generation. He revealed His will in them. He caused the Red Sea to dry up. Will you keep asking the Red Sea to part? No. God has not promised to part rivers for you, such that when you want to cross the river you ask God to divide it for you. It is unique; it was done by Moses, Joshua, Elijah and Elisha. That ended the issue of the sea parting. So, do not seek to repeat it; instead of looking for a way to cross the river, you then say that God should divide it. </div><div>You will pray there until you perish because He has not given you that promise. When Satan told Jesus, “Jump down from this mountain if you are the son of God, for God has said He will give His angels charge over you, that they will bare you with their hands that you do not dash your foot against the stone.” Jesus said, “It is written, thou shall not tempt the Lord your God. The Lord told Moses to smite the rock for water to come out. Later God said, “Smite the rock and water shall come out.” Does the rock produce water for the church now? Have you heard that the church of Christ gathered together in a great congregation, their water finished, and they went and spoke to the rock and water came out? No. </div><div>These are things that happen in God’s sovereignty; they are not the natural paths He has provided for normal livelihood. There are promises for your normal life and godliness that God has provided but not for these other rare manifestations of power that happen at His discretion. Joshua commanded the sun to stand still and it happened once but by the impartation of the faith of the Holy Ghost in him. Again, Uzziah requested that the sun move back ten degrees when the Lord asked, “Do I turn the sun backwards or forward?” God gave me that option. Nobody should say “God I am going on a journey but it is getting late. Oh God, please stay the sun for me.”</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Faith is the assurance of things hoped for</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Your name is a strong tower, Jesus …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Ruth 1-4 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-76258830032563562622024-03-19T13:11:00.001-07:002024-03-19T13:11:59.419-07:00Operate According To The Level Of Your Calling <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study</div><div><br></div><div>Operate According To The Level Of Your Calling </div><div><br></div><div>Wednesday March 20th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Romans 12: 1 - 8 </div><div>Key verse: Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.</div><div>We are not given the same level of faith. Therefore, why do you struggle to be great like the other man? Who told you it was by struggle he reached there? You do everything carnally yet you will not reach there. It is not possible with your struggles, Whichever way you do surgical operation on a man to become a woman, you cannot get a perfect man in a woman. However intelligent a surgeon you are. Whatever your struggles, you cannot become like that man because when the centurion asked Paul if was a Roman citizen? He said, ‘Yes I am.’ He replied, ‘I purchased citizenship with a great sum.’ Paul said, ‘I was free born.’ It is because the Lord has raised him up to deliver you, your family, your church and your people from darkness but your flesh, fear and pride is blocking it and so your people remain in darkness and doom.</div><div>Can your document make you exactly as the natural citizen? No! That difference remains till death. Why do you struggle? No, it will not work. Some struggle for flattering titles; bishop, prophet, apostle. Can that title make you an original apostle of God? Will making yourself a prophet bring you to the position God has given to prophets? Abandon those corrupt things. They are defilement and carnality in the church. Operate in the level you are and be original because God placed you there. If you are climbing up a staircase, the steps are all necessary. There must be step one that will lift you up to step two. Your lower position is necessary because if we do not climb on you, how do we even climb to the top? God put it there but you broke the order by saying, ‘Take me up at once.’ Do you want to confuse the whole thing, so that people will not know where to put their leg before they go up? So, operate in your level. Do not mind titles, position or greatness. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Operate in the level you are and be original </div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Anointing fall on me, cover my head to toe …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Judges 20-21 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-68455232685824634782024-03-18T12:10:00.001-07:002024-03-18T12:10:54.622-07:00More Comments And Clarifications On Family Planning <div>God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study. </div><div><br></div><div>More Comments And Clarifications On Family Planning </div><div><br></div><div>Tuesday, March 19th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Genesis 35: 16 - 20</div><div>Key verse: Psalm 127:3 “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD; and the fruit of the womb is His reward.” </div><div>Be wise in making decisions. Someone may decide not to give birth to many children because he may not be able to cater for them. Some of them may end up as vagabonds and not even go to school. God is not against that wisdom because He does not want you to have wayward children. However, God gave Jacob many children; twelve boys and a girl. Jacob was fruitful indeed and multiplied and replenished the earth. Some people desire to raise large families like Jacob. They are not sinning. If there are enough resources and they decide to raise large families, it is not sinful. The one that gives birth to one or two is not sinning either. Let everyone be convinced of what he can do. The scripture does not compel one couple to replenish the earth. Let each family apply wisdom. Many women die during childbirth because their bodies become so weak that they can’t pass through anymore. Did they go to heaven? We are not clear. Do not misapply scripture. Don’t give birth to children that will cause trouble in society; you will be responsible for making human settlement difficult by wayward children, Eli died because of his wayward children. </div><div>Comment: There are methods and drugs which doctors use to prevent conception. The natural method works sometimes and sometimes it does not because in some homes, the woman may agree to use the calendar method but the man may not cooperate. </div><div>Clarification: I am grateful you understand because some people rather abuse us. In fact, some have left HOREMOW, as seen from the internet because Pastor permitted the use of contraceptives. Surprisingly, some of them are not even married. Some people refuse to use medicines. What about praying without results? When Jesus said, “O Lord, remove this cup from Me”, was it done? So, in addition to faith and prayer, God has made other provisions. Do not be misled and die in ignorance.</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Wisdom is profitable to direct.</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: My wife shall be a blessing, my children around my table …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Judges 17-19 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-54564736961656171032024-03-17T11:38:00.001-07:002024-03-17T11:38:11.797-07:00Have A Right Attitude Towards God’s Word <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study. </div><div><br></div><div>Have A Right Attitude Towards God’s Word </div><div><br></div><div>Monday March 18th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: 1 Corinthians 14: 24 - 29</div><div>Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14:26 “How is it then, brethren? When ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.” </div><div>From our key verse, a psalm, doctrine, tongue or revelation is the word of God. Some stand only on doctrinal teaching of God’s word but psalms (songs), revelations (visions), tongues and interpretations (prophecy) are part of God’s word. Doctrines are from the written word, tongues and interpretation are prophetic while revelation is the revealed word. These are the forms the word takes so as you come to service, you will see various manifestations of the word of God.</div><div>Give place to it. Do not refuse singing; it is the word of God ministering to people. The doctrine quoted from scripture is the written word. Then tongues and interpretation of tongues are prophecy. That also is the word of God. and revelation. The Lord may come through dream, vision or revelation: The Lord took me to hell, heaven or to another city and showed me this or that. Bring it. it is the word of God in the church. Bring it, we need to hear. It is the word of God. So, let all things be done unto edifying. The psalm, doctrine, tongue and interpretation, and prophecy will edify and build up the church of Christ. </div><div>Also, the revelations, dreams, and visions will edify and build up the church of Christ. God has given us many things. They are all His words for our edification. You need it. You need to understand that it is very important so that you do not allow people to cause accidents in your life. Many people have stayed away from the revealed word, saying that the Bible is enough for them. You are not really a fully practising Christian. You have access to revelation also because God manifests in many ways as we have seen in scripture. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: There are various manifestations of the word of God.</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Forever O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Judges 14-16 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-46906739225749333952024-03-17T11:37:00.001-07:002024-03-17T11:37:49.995-07:00The Value of Revelations<div>God's blessings shall follow you continually and your for taking the time to study </div><div><br></div><div>The Value of Revelations </div><div>Sunday March 17th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Exodus 32: 7 - 8</div><div><br></div><div>Key verse: Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”</div><div>Except that God revealed the shocking backsliding of Israel to Moses, he would not have believed. ‘Aaron cannot allow that.’ It was Aaron that requested for the gold earrings to make an idol for them. ‘But I have other people there. How could they all compromise?’ Nobody, except you for this holiness. Stand strong Moses because the people’s hearts are faulty; if any of them will reach heaven, it will be through you. As you see them, the devil can terrify them and human pressure can overcome them. If you are not there, the hope for your people is very slim. Nay, there is no hope. ‘Get thee down, they have quickly corrupted themselves.’</div><div>How old is HOREMOW that you have corrupted yourselves? That a preacher can embezzle money and his conscience does not touch him. Pastors steal directly, tell lies, falsify records and carry out personal business with God’s money. When did this Movement start that you can connive and agree with fellow pastors to do evil, not fearing that your soul shall be doomed to hell? Have you forgotten so quickly all the revelations you had opportunity to hear? You no longer think of heaven and hell. What a surprise! They have corrupted themselves and turned aside from the way. </div><div>They want to bring in witchcraft. To gather supporters for politics in the Movement. They go round saying, “Support me. I will change what the leadership is doing in HOREMOW” You are really getting the people.” Wonderful! What happened to you? What is the problem? What has God done to you that you want to corrupt His Movement? “No! I will not take it. They have wronged me.” Should not one man die that the whole nation be saved? Jesus died for the whole world that man should have peace and salvation? Yet feel offended and threaten to pull down HOREMOW. For your information, you cannot because God Himself will handle you. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Gamaliel warned the Jews against fighting God.</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Who can battle with the Lord?

Divine calling is not only on ministerial service but happens even among unbelievers in the world. There are people God raised up, like Cyrus to do His will. God called him by name and appointed him as the one to deliver Israel from captivity and build the temple. Why? God has His choice. He said, when I was forming you before I brought you into being, I had thought of the work you are to do. Even before he was conceived by his parents, I decided to give that child a ministry. The choice is not of man, therefore do not struggle against God in carnality by rejecting Him.</div><div>Before you were born into the world, I had already set you apart and ordained you a prophet unto the nations. It gives us patience with people, even your children. They may be stubborn today but deal with them according to scripture and righteousness. Do not see them as nonentities. Paul said, “When it pleased God who separated me from my mother’s womb to make His Son to be known by me.” That was the purpose of Paul’s birth to make Jesus known to the world but considering his life, was he really a simple man to the church? No. He killed many before he came to his senses and started doing righteousness, then doubled it up and even tripled it up, </div><div>Deal patiently with your brother or sister who may be in error or not even measuring up. Deal patiently with your children because there may be a divine plan which has its time, else you become guilty of fighting God. Do not treat anyone in an ungodly way and the person perishes and never does the will of God anymore and He holds you responsible. Jesus told the apostles, “Ye have not chosen Me but I have chosen you.” He called them by name to be with Him. Nothing was done by chance.</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Divine calling is not only on ministerial service </div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: When He calls me, I will answer … </div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Judges 6-8 </div><div>#Horemow</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-2517596966366616332024-03-15T11:57:00.001-07:002024-03-15T11:57:24.380-07:00Maintain A Closer Walk With Jesus <div>God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study.</div><div><br></div><div>Maintain A Closer Walk With Jesus </div><div><br></div><div>Saturday, March 16th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: John 12:20-21</div><div>Key verse: John 12:32 “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”</div><div>How can you see more excellency of Jesus when He is not constantly in your mind? You say you are married to Jesus but there are distances between you. You are a child of God but there are distances between you and God. You begin to try to view who this Jesus is. Like the woman whose husband has gone to America for years, so the wife is working hard, O this man, how does he look like? Whenever he is laughing how does he appear? Because time has disfigured that man before that woman. She cannot actually think very well. That’s how it is. You are serving Jesus unconsciously. Good, you are serving Him, but He wants you to serve Him knowingly. Serve Jesus with understanding. Be with Him now. Walk with Him. Stay with Him, that when you walk or sit, you walk or sit with Jesus. All you do shall be with Jesus. That is how He wants it in your life. That consciousness is what Jesus is looking for because He will give you the energy to live.</div><div>Ministers must constantly remind their congregations of the Lord, Savior, and Shepherd of the church. That it is Jesus they serve. That Jesus is the Shepherd of the church. He is the Lord; personal, active, and present Lord. We stand in awe of Jesus; in total surrender, great honor and worship of Jesus. We must remind ourselves that we preach and sing for Jesus. Do you preach or sing without knowing for whom you preach or sing? Do you preach for pleasure? Come back to your right mind and inform yourself that, ‘I preach to honor Jesus; to reveal and exalt Him.’ It is Jesus that has made me a preacher and given me this privilege of preaching. This we must do so that the faith of the people must be steady on Him and their hearts and minds will be in constant worship and praise of His glory and power. Come to Him in active possession and complete contact with Him.</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Awaken to the realization of Jesus. </div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Jesus in the morning, Jesus … Jesus when the sun goes down</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Judges 9-10 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-3691524531015538952024-03-12T14:21:00.001-07:002024-03-12T14:21:54.491-07:00Satan Tried To Stop Me From Working For God In HOREMOW<div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study.</div><div><br></div><div>Satan Tried To Stop Me From Working For God In HOREMOW</div><div><br></div><div>Text: 1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 </div><div><br></div><div>Wednesday March 13th</div><div><br></div><div>Key verse: James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”</div><div>My name is Samuel Reuben. I was recommended to Daddy Paul Rika for employment as a driver but Satan fought to stop me. I learnt that the Movement was set to buy a truck so I volunteered to get a good one. God helped me to get a truck at a cheap price but my motor boy lied that I had added money for myself. Thank God that Daddy Paul Rika investigated the report and employed me on probation. Later, the boy repented and did restitution. God helped me to forgive him. A week after I started work, a Senator I had worked for asked me to see him. When I got there, his wife asked me to drive her to the market. When we came back, the Senator asked his wife, “How was his driving?” She replied that I drove very well. I did not know that I had just done a driving test for a job. </div><div>He then said, “You have just resumed work as my family driver. You shall stay in the boy’s quarters and eat free of charge along with other benefits.” I said, “Sorry sir, I just started work as a church driver.” He replied, “I am offering you a job with fat salary, free accommodation and feeding and you are talking of driving for a church? How much will they pay you? Speak and I will multiply it!” I answered, “Sir it is not about the money but I am glad to work for God although I do not how much I will be paid.” He laughed, “How can you accept a job without knowing how much you will be paid?” I said, “Sir, this one is not just a church. It is the Movement that Jesus founded Himself.” He asked, “What do you mean by that? What is the name of the church and the pastor?” I said, “My pastor is Pastor Paul Rika and the church is Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide.” He was very disappointed but said, “Well, go and think over it.” I left his house and never went back for that job.</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: It pays to serve Jesus</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: I love my Jesus, my Jesus loves me …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Judges 1-3 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-78418287566057337832024-03-11T11:39:00.001-07:002024-03-11T11:39:07.054-07:00Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision, and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)<div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study </div><div><br></div><div>Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision, and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Romans 1: 16-18 </div><div>Tuesday, March 12th</div><div><br></div><div>Key verse: Psalm 130:1 “Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O LORD.”</div><div>I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics. </div><div>Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecostals and evangelicals, how much of the gospel do they know? What about China with over 1.4 billion? Are there up to 50 million Christians? What of America and Europe? They have forgotten Jesus. What do we do? Africa is still in darkness yet the best Christianity is in Africa. Come to Nigeria and see churches in multitudes but what do they teach? With women perming their hair and wearing trousers and jewellery while the pastors themselves wear wedding rings. Can they go anywhere? I said, “God, the world is doomed.” </div><div>I started crying aloud in the night in another country until I realized that the neighbours might think that armed robbers had come to my house. Is it not armed robbery my brethren? The devil has carried the majority of human beings. Even among those in holiness churches, how many are born again and righteous there? I mourned and cried in great pain. That was why I began to write that book that deeper life found fault in me because I said this book would give salvation to the world. My burden gave rise to vision and I took action. What can I do that the whole world will hear the message? Eventually, the leadership of Deeper Life became offended because of that book and persecuted me greatly until God asked me to leave. Praise God!</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: The devil has carried the majority of human beings. </div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Joshua 23-24 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-16767445004656326342024-03-10T11:29:00.001-07:002024-03-10T11:29:46.627-07:00Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision, and Action To Reach the Unreached (1)<div>Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision, and Action To Reach the Unreached (1)</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Romans 1:14-15 </div><div><br></div><div>Monday, March 11th</div><div><br></div><div>Key verse: Jude 22 “And of some have compassion, making a difference.”</div><div>As a member of deeper life, God granted me an understanding of the scriptures and knowledge of holiness. Outside deeper life, other churches were in ignorance; not knowing the message of holiness. What they practiced was below a hundred percent. Everywhere in all churches, the dressing of the women was not heavenly. I saw the pieces of jewelry and the dancing going on and knew that the Holy Ghost was not there. I saw the ungodly lives of the people and said, “Something must happen to the churches of the world if God will get people to heaven.” Even within deeper life, many lacked the conviction of holiness. The doctrines were enforced; without doing it you will be disciplined. Many people obeyed as robots. Life was not there. Outside deeper life they will drop everything and move their way, saying, “Thank God I have come out of bondage.” They did not value this treasure. They did not know eternal life was in the message of holiness. Many did not understand. It was a powerful burden in my heart. “Lord, how do I do it that people will go to heaven?” </div><div>I saw another hindrance. You could not then come out of deeper life and go to other churches and preach. You are restricted. Everybody must come to a deeper life. Then how will I get everybody to come to a deeper life? It will not work. What do we do? It was a burden. At that time, I started to record messages in various languages of the world. I will preach the best way I could as somebody in a deeper life, who did not have the authority by the way. I would do it privately and send these messages in all languages of the world and I began. I was in a region in Plateau State then but how feeble could that be? How far could I go? I knew the churches of Christ had not understood the message. The Bible was not clear to the people and what they were doing will never take them to heaven. God needed holiness and perfection but they never had the idea of holiness or the vision of perfection before them and I know God will not change His standard. Then what do we do? It was a powerful situation.</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: “Lord, how do I do it that people will go to heaven?” </div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Rescue the perishing, care for the dying …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Joshua 21-22 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-22921382850257581002024-03-09T11:21:00.001-08:002024-03-09T11:21:33.815-08:00Emphasize Holiness In Dressing And Adornment For Believers <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study.</div><div><br></div><div>Emphasize Holiness In Dressing And Adornment For Believers </div><div><br></div><div>Text: Genesis 35:1-5 </div><div>Sunday, March 10th</div><div> </div><div>Key verse: 1 Timothy 2:9 “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair or gold or pearls or costly array.”</div><div>During a conference, the Lord gave a message to Sister Linda. He said, “Many damned souls are still entering hellfire because of ungodly dressing. Satan has chosen this area to defile many in My house and the world. This part of My doctrine has been neglected by many preachers and believers worldwide. Tell Pastor Paul Rika and the leaders here” He called out three sisters that were in the conference and drew my attention to the styles on their hands. He said “What is the significance of this excess material hanging on the hand? When you lift up your hand, it shows an opening and flaps back. Fashion has started creeping in your midst.” </div><div>The Lord asked, “Why do people dress like that? These styles are indecent and seductive fleshly attires. It is a distraction that sends bad signals to men. It is not decent for a heavenly-minded woman. Go and warn your sisters in the Movement. I don't want indecent styles on them and in My Movement.” The sisters were wearing flair; when they lifted up their hands the dress fell back and exposed the arms. I, Sister Linda, also have similar dresses but not as bogus as the ones shown to me. </div><div>The Lord condemned it because when the hand is raised, one sees almost to the armpit. Seductive dressing stirs lust, envy, evil thoughts, fornication, and adultery among believers. Satan has introduced seductive dresses which expose the body parts of believers. People lust in their hearts when they see the exposed body parts and desire to sleep with the lady, not even to marry her. Women also lust after men when they wear tight-fitting dressing. Many have evil thoughts due to evil dressing and Satan projects these evils worldwide.</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Bad dressing stirs lust in people, causing them to commit sin</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Sanctify me Lord, purify me Lord …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Joshua 18-20 </div><div>,#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-48741207725607543482024-03-08T12:17:00.001-08:002024-03-08T12:17:26.566-08:00Christ’s Ordination <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study</div><div><br></div><div>Christ’s Ordination </div><div><br></div><div>Saturday March 9th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Jeremiah 1:4-5</div><div>Key verse: Mark 3: 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,</div><div>Now, when Christ talked of ordaining His ministers, we did not see Him carrying out any special activity for it. He meant the ordinary meaning of the word as we have seen it in scripture. Ordination is the verbal pronouncement of divine choice and calling upon His servant. Before you came, I ordained you. I chose you. I anointed you. I prepared you. It is a spiritual word but today the title, ‘Bishop’ has been consecrated and made special by some churches. such that not everybody is bishop even if you are a pastor; bishop has been reserved for some high-ranking ministers according to their own denomination.</div><div>Is that provision in the scripture? Apostle, Venerable Apostle, Archbishop. They leave the spiritual and go on the physical. Now look at the word, ‘ordination.’ They have carried it away as they carried the office of a bishop away. Ordination is made a sacred thing to be carried out officially for a few people in the church. Some churches organize ordination services where people are ordained for ministry. Did Jesus organize one? No! Was it in a feast of ordination that God told Jeremiah, “I ordained you a prophet unto the nations?” No! Some use anointing oil which is poured upon the ordained ministers. Some reserve ordination for only those who have completed bible college. Some constitute a body of bishops, who go about doing commercial ordination for whosoever can pay for it and they give certificates of ordination. All these are traditions and have no Biblical authority. By this act, all those who are not ordained are belittled, ignored, and condemned. Do they feel that who ordained you? Tell them, ‘It is Jesus’ because it was Jesus who ordained the disciples and it was God who ordained Jeremiah. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Ordination is the verbal pronouncement of divine choice and calling on a minister.</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Joshua 14-17 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-51620964318115759622024-03-07T11:18:00.001-08:002024-03-07T11:18:37.011-08:00Holiness Gives Assurance Of Answers To Prayers<div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study.</div><div><br></div><div>Holiness Gives Assurance Of Answers To Prayers </div><div><br></div><div>Friday March 8th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Psalm 66: 16 - 20</div><div>Key verse: Psalm 66: 18 “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.”</div><div>From our key verse, the Psalmist had a testimony from the Lord in answer to prayer. Come I will tell you what the Lord has done to my soul. I prayed unto Him in my distress, pain and desire of my heart and the Lord heard me. He granted me my desire because of holiness; because I cleansed myself from sin, stopped all evil in my life and turned to Him fully. I avoided every sin and conducted myself in righteousness. He heard my prayer. If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, He would not have heard me. Thank God I came to righteousness before Him that the Lord would hear. </div><div>Why do you exact much force in prayer when sin is still in you? Do you lack understanding? Iniquity will stop God from answering you. Why do you labor in prayer when you have not done your restitution? You are in strife with someone and you have not settled it. You did a bad thing and you have not confessed it. You have married wrongly and you have not done your restitution in marriage. You borrowed people’s money and refused to pay but you like to fast. You delight to seek the face of the Lord as though you have not committed iniquity whereas you have sinned. </div><div>If you want to progress in Christ, take away iniquity. Confess your iniquity and forsake it. Seek deliverance from God. Some are now agents of Satan because you hid the devil in your life and did not receive deliverance. You were managing witchcraft and Christianity until Satan gave you more assignment. You are now tagged an agent of darkness yet you pray and fast. Of what benefit or use then? Since iniquity is in your life which prayer will the Lord hear? Oh, I will tell others to pray for me if God will not hear my prayer. God knows your plans. Remove iniquity from you so that God can hear your prayers. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Come to holiness to enjoy answers to prayer.</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Wash me O Lamb of God , wash me from sin …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Joshua 11-13 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-54827209201336773882024-03-06T12:29:00.001-08:002024-03-06T12:29:33.005-08:00The Fruits Of Converts To Christ<div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study </div><div><br></div><div>The Fruits Of Converts To Christ </div><div><br></div><div>Thursday March 7th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Daniel 1:8-12</div><div>Key verse: John 15: 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.</div><div>Men do not light a lamp and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick that it should give light to everyone that is in that environment. God saved you to save others. When the maniac of Gadara was delivered from madness, he came to himself and believed in Christ. He wanted to follow Christ wherever He went but Jesus said, “Go home to your friends, to your people and declare to them what the Lord has done for you and how he has shown you compassion.” The man went to ten cities around where he was, from city to city because he had operated in those cities and they knew him. “This is me. I am saved now.” God expects us to testify of His works to others. </div><div>Tell your family how your life changed, what Jesus has done for you. Tell sinners about what Jesus has done for you. God has warned us that when He tells the righteous to warn the sinners and he refuses to warn them and death takes away the sinner, He will demand the soul of that man from him. If you are righteous, you cannot afford to let others perish around you; you will want to go after them to bring them to righteousness. Go and make converts to Christ. </div><div>The conviction not to defile himself was first of Daniel but because he would bear fruits, he converted the other children so that they all purposed not to defile themselves. Daniel passed this conviction to Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego and they all got convicted not to defile themselves. If you are a righteous leader or pastor, what are you doing concerning your brothers, friends, and neighbors that have not known holiness? Have you told them? “Ah! Leave everybody to himself.” Then you are not doing the work of God because you should make converts. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Go and win converts so that they should be after your kind in holiness, righteousness and truth.</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Must I go an empty handed?</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Joshua 8-10 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-22071072101329110652024-03-05T12:15:00.001-08:002024-03-05T12:15:34.331-08:00Remember Jesus In Your Peace And Prosperity <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study.</div><div><br></div><div>Remember Jesus In Your Peace And Prosperity </div><div><br></div><div>Wednesday March 6th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: 2 Samuel 7: 1 - 2</div><div>Key verse: Psalm 99:3 “Let them praise thy great and terrible name, for it is holy.”</div><div>Remember Jesus in your peace and prosperity. Is life well with you? Do you prosper in spirit, soul, and body? Do you flourish materially? Do you have new clothes and shoes, wrappers, and changes of clothing? Remember Jesus did it. It came from Him. Have you bought a car or house? Do you have a good business? You feel so happy. Do your enemies laugh with you with all their hearts? No more enmity. Life is well with your enemies so that you can look around and say, ‘I have no enemy.’ Is your life filled with peace? Are you peaceful in your house? Do you drive peacefully and sit in your office happily, none troubling you? Remember Jesus.</div><div>Oh, husband and wife, there is great fun in the house. You sit on the table, beautiful table; eggs fried with vegetable oil, salad, butter, tea, noddle, milk, and beverages. Well decorated, the fragrance coming to your nose and all these things are available to enjoy. As you are eating with your wife, sweating because the tea is hot. Tell your wife, “Remember Jesus. These things did not come from your husband but Jesus provided them. It is Jesus that has made life good for us. It is Jesus who has blessed this house and has provided these. He even sustained me, kept me alive and made me a useful husband. Jesus also gave me the income. Remember Jesus.” </div><div>Woman, did you cook a nice soup for your husband? As you see him busy with food, look at his face and say, “Husband, remember Jesus.” This soup you are eating came from Him. If not for Jesus, would you have gotten a wife like me? See the kind of soup I prepared for you. See how life is so good. I have you in my heart. Jesus gave me the thought of what to do for you. He gave me the wisdom of making this food. Remember Jesus. It all comes from Him; the good things of life, employment, salary and the position you occupy. Therefore, keep Him in remembrance always. In your dressing, family affairs, business, education and Christian ministry, remember Jesus.</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Remember Jesus always.</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Thank You Jesus, Thank You Savior …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Joshua 5-7 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-57115005727929698312024-03-03T10:43:00.001-08:002024-03-03T10:43:05.528-08:00Topic: A Prodigal Son Returns Home<div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study.</div><div><br></div><div>Topic: A Prodigal Son Returns Home </div><div><br></div><div>Monday, March 4th</div><div><br></div><div>Text: Luke 15:17-24</div><div>Key verse: Hosea 14:1 “O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God, for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.”</div><div>A young man stole the money of his poor parents. The parents discovered that he was the one who stole the money and were angry with him. He became afraid and ran away and left the town completely to a faraway town for quite some years. But the desire for his family came to him. He started longing for them but how will he return? He didn’t know what to do. He started wishing to go back home. What will they do to me? He wrote a letter and acknowledged that he stole the money; that it was wickedness he did but that would they forgive him? If they will forgive him, they should give him a sign. The railway track passed behind their house. He was going to board the train that would be passing by. If you have forgiven me and long to see me, just hang a white cloth behind the house. When I see the white cloth, I will know you are ready to forgive me. I will alight. But if as the train passes by, I see no white cloth, it means you people are angry with me, I will continue with the train to wherever and that is how I will go forever. </div><div>When this information came to the parents, they rejoiced greatly that their son was coming home. They gathered all the white clothes in the house and hung them outside. What if he fails to see these white clothes? They got white paper and spread it everywhere. The house was covered in white. At least he will see one white cloth or paper and they were ready for him. When this young man was passing by he saw white clothes and papers; he loved his father, mother, brothers and sisters in the family. “Oh! My people still love me. Thank God for forgiving me. I will not do it again.” The prodigal son alighted and came back home for celebration. The church shall rejoice as you come back home. As you come back to the Father, angels shall rejoice. The Father shall rejoice. Jesus will stand up waiting for you to come.</div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Jesus paid it all</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound … </div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Deuteronomy 33-34 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-72659503997123304832024-03-02T14:11:00.001-08:002024-03-02T14:11:23.893-08:00Beware of Strange Practices in Ministries <div>God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study</div><div><br></div><div>Beware of Strange Practices in Ministries </div><div><br></div><div>Sunday March 3rd</div><div><br></div><div>Text: 1 Kings 18:25-28</div><div>Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order.”</div><div>If you have bought an anointed handkerchief for blessing, healing and protection and it is carefully kept in your box, it is an idol. The anointed handkerchief that they gave you about eleven years ago is still in your box. You have told your children, “Anytime you have headache, carry it and cover your head for 5 minutes then put it back there. Make sure it does not get dirty or torn.” That is an idol. Evil mentors taught you this wickedness to turn your heart from God. They do not tell people about their sins. Sin cannot block you from using handkerchief and holy water but can block you from receiving the miracles of Jesus. You therefore need to examine your life first but with these people, you do not need to do any self-examination. </div><div>Cultic preachers that say you should pray naked. They instruct you to go to a corner of your house and set up an altar there. They may give you Bible language to deceive you. Where did you have that one from? The Bible says that men should pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands without doubt or wrath but they say you should set up an altar in a corner of your house to be meeting with Jesus or with demons? These demons may distribute some blessings so that you can have testimonies to give and get more souls for them although many of the testifiers are liars; nothing happened but they go about telling to perpetrate false doctrines. </div><div>You now have a secret prayer book and you say, “This book is a precious book that can give you all the money you are looking. With this book, all your enemies will die.” The writers write corrupt books. They preach against the lordship of Christ. They preach that tribulation will come before the rapture, with their certificates. Professor this said it. They preach against God’s standard in marriage and refer you to bishop somebody. One of such bishops was my uncle but he has reunited with his first wife after thirty-eight years. He has done his restitution. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much</div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: Prayer is the key (2x), prayer is the master key …</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Deuteronomy 30-32 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003671151404938066.post-91938378673163183652024-03-01T10:26:00.001-08:002024-03-01T10:26:32.522-08:00The Greatness of Daniel: Additional Qualities of Daniel <div>God's blessings shall follow for taking the time to study</div><div><br></div><div>The Greatness of Daniel: Additional Qualities of Daniel </div><div><br></div><div>Saturday, March 2nd</div><div> </div><div>Text: Daniel 1: 3-6</div><div>Key verse: Daniel 1:21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of King Cyrus</div><div>Daniel possessed moral powers. What Nebuchadnezzar never knew was moral power. He didn’t have moral powers. Daniel was above others in moral powers. Daniel was great in godliness. What Nebuchadnezzar never knew was godliness. Daniel was above others in godliness. As we go on in our studies, there are other things Nebuchadnezzar never knew of Daniel. He had additional qualities. His own university said children with five credits but Daniel had nine credits. Above the required five credits. So, this is the man called Daniel. Daniel was great in humility. This is the man with additional qualities of humility. Daniel was a great lover of God. Additional qualities; love for God, were in Daniel. </div><div>Does God make a man like that? Sure. Now the question is, if a common king needs people of these qualities, what about the King of kings?¬¬¬¬ What qualities of people would He desire to stand before Him? But you are not building up yourself, you are not creative, you are not adding to yourself, you are not acquiring more for yourself to stand before this God. You are not applying your intelligence to Christianity. You are not productive. You are not inventive in the life of holiness. Do you know the qualities of the men that will enter heaven, to stand before the eternal King? These are qualities requested by a mortal king, what about the immortal King? Do you think you qualify actually to stand before the great God? Do you think that He is taking everybody? Now even these qualities were not enough. </div><div>Reading from Daniel 1:5, we discover that even these inherent, natural, self-developed qualities were not enough. Additional work had to be done on them to qualify them to stand before the king; teaching them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. I want to teach them not only the language and learning of Babylon, but I will also teach unto them the ancient things to qualify them to rule with me. </div><div><br></div><div>Thought for the day: Are you in God’s school of training for heaven? </div><div><br></div><div>Song for the day: I want to be like Daniel (3x), to follow Jesus Christ</div><div><br></div><div>Bible reading for the day: Deuteronomy 28-29 </div><div>#Horemow.</div>Emmanuel Okwuoshahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07680603277468277590noreply@blogger.com0
