ABLE MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL MONDAY MARCH 13 TEXT: 1TIMOTHY 3:1-16 Key verse: “If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto hast attained” 1Timothy 4:6. As God’s messenger to men, the preacher needs the following qualities: He must be faithful to the message and never change it in fear or pity for the people; otherwise God will not be in the message to effect it; He must be fearless, bold and courageous in preaching the word to all categories of men; The preacher must preach sound doctrine that is able to save hearers; The preacher must preach on without minding whether the people receive his message or not; The preacher must not mind persecution and suffering, so as to accomplish his ministry among the people; He must be meek, humble, gentle and loving in his disposition; He must be exemplary in life and character to the believers. As Christ’s servant, called and commissioned by Christ. His loyalty is to Christ and not to man, a denomination or a board. As God’s servant, he must hear the word of God, receive the word from God and know the mind of Christ for himself and for the people. Hearing from God is not just by dreams, vision, inner impression or in audible voice. It involves studying and knowing the written word of God in the holy Bible. Apart from knowing and receiving the word from God, the preacher needs to receive from God, the endowment of the Holy Spirit for power, utterance, signs and wonders to authenticate the gospel. Note however that it is possible to do great miracles with the name of Jesus, preach great messages, and end up like Judas in hell. Hence he must avoid pretense and hypocrisy in all areas of Christian life and ministry. The preacher must learn the life of faith in order to please God and he must be given to life of prayer in order to receive from God and enjoy His bountiful revelations. As God’s servant he must know that suffering for the gospel is the will of God for His ministers exemplified by Christ. Thought for the day: To please God, the minister must be given to life of prayer. Song for the day: Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me. Bible reading for the day: Deuteronomy 20-22; Mark 14:26-50 #horemow.

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...
