WEDNESDAY JULY 12 TEXT: Jeremiah 8:8-12 KEY VERSE: Nehemiah 8:8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. Ezekiel 16:1-3 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem. Some scriptural texts and passages appear in the sight of some people to support the use of jewelry for bodily decoration. These passages will require proper interpretation to make them know that the scripture does not contradict itself. 1.) Ezekiel 16. For example, what the Lord said in Ezekiel 16 on Jewelry is an allegorical statement concerning Jerusalem as a city. It is not addressing a real woman. This can be understood from the opening verses of the chapter quoted above. God was talking of the great investment in gold and mineral resources He had made in the city of Jerusalem, yet they did not consider Him but went into idolatry. Idolatry of the people of God is liken to the prostitution of a woman. The items of bodily decoration used by harlots for their profession are what God said Jerusalem was dressed with. In summary, the Lord is saying “You used my wealth invested on your land to decorate yourself and your city and have brought to the city idol worship from the surrounding nations. You have forgotten Me who gave you these things to beautify your city.” It would be unfortunate for any woman to apply this scripture to herself, claiming that God has given her jewelry. This scripture, Ezekiel 16, shows clearly that the use of jewelry is restrictive of harlots and prostitutes. 2.) Luke 15: 22, 23. The father of the prodigal son, not Jesus, not the heavenly Father ordered a ring on the hand of his son. When Joseph was given a ring by Pharaoh it connoted acceptance of Joseph by Pharaoh. The ring also indicated that Pharaoh had given Joseph honour and right to leadership of Egypt. These were secular scenes and had no spiritual connections. Let not the children of God see them as scriptures justifying the use of rings by believers. All scripture in the Bible that are considered speaking in support of the use of jewelry by believers have different meaning if given the appropriate interpretation. The godly characters in the Bible never used them. Stay away from them. To dress in a scripturally forbidding manner is to be defiled and nothing defiled or defiling shall enter Heaven (Revelation 21:8, 27). Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me. Be God’s watchman. Preach this message everywhere you go and everywhere you are, to everyone. Keep a watchful eye over the Church of Christ, over Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide to purge it of these evils and preserve it. Reprove the erring ones and restore the backsliders. Refer stubborn cases to higher leadership for appropriate actions. Work is love, work is wisdom, keep yourself in the bound of truth. Thought for the day: Know the whole truth and be free from blame. Song for the day: When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word Bible reading for the day: Psalm 7-9; Acts 17:1-15 #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...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” 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 of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
