TOPIC:  YOU ARE COMFORTED TO COMFORT ANOTHER.  WEDNESDAY AUGUST  2
TEXT:  2 CORINTHIANS 1:1-10
KEY VERSE: “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thessalonians 4:18).

We are commanded by God to minister comfort to one another. If this is done in purity and love, it is a service done unto the Lord. The works of comforting one another are works of love. These are done in words and in acts. These works must be rendered to our neighbours as illustrated by the parable of the Good Samaritan and also much more to our brothers and sisters in Christ. “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” (Galatians 6:10).

The following scriptural examples show how to embark on this service of comfort to our fellow men.

·         Joseph in prison ministered comfort to fellow prisoner who woke up saddened by a dream he had. That selfless service brought exaltation to him. Let us be concerned when our close ones become suddenly sad. Speak words of kindness, words of hope and encouragement to them according to God's word. Make them trust in God and be peaceful.
·         Joseph forgave his guilt-ridden brothers and spoke friendly to them and they were relieved and comforted. Let us comfort those who are guilty, and have offended us by ministering forgiveness and friendly words to them.
·         Pharaoh's daughter had compassion on the baby Moses. See what great accomplishment that single act wrought in life.
·         Manoah's wife abated the fears of her husband by logical argument. Let us through scriptural reasoning lead people away from fear to faith, and from guilt to assurance.
·         Boaz showed kindness to Ruth who was a stranger in the land, who later became his wife. Acts of love to the opposite sex must be in purity.
·         Naomi comforted Ruth by promising to assist her in getting a husband.

Let us pray with and counsel those who are in need.

Thought for the Day:  God comforts us that we may comfort others in distress.
Song for the Day: Peace, perfect peace …
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 68-69; Romans 3

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
