TOPIC:  THE ETERNAL DOOM OF A CARELESS PREACHER.   THURSDAY AUGUST 31  
TEXT:  1 JOHN 2:15-17
KEY VERSE: “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” (Revelation 16:15).

Still at the gate of heaven, Michael Thomas Sambo narrated the pathetic story of a careless preacher. He said:

Right there at the gate with Jesus a preacher died that Saturday, 26th April, 2003, between 1.00-4:00 pm and was coming towards the gate. Afar off when I saw him he was dressed in white. This is the garment of Truth, Righteousness, and Holiness which Christ gives believers. From the place I was standing, I could not see any spot on him. He was coming toward the gate of heaven with excitement. He wanted to walk in through the gate. But the angels shouted at him and commanded him to stop. He was asked, “Where are you going to?” “I want to enter into heaven,” he replied.
        
At this time, Jesus fastened his eyes on him and said:

“When I saved you from your sins, I gave you a garment of Righteousness and Holiness of life. I warned you against defiling this garment. Your garment is now spotted with the world. This is not the garment I gave you when I saved you”
     
“The Father is Holy, I am holy, the Spirit is holy; the angels are holy, the saints in heaven are holy, all living creatures in heaven are holy. Above all, heaven has been dedicated unto holy living. Nothing that is defiled, or that worketh abomination or that telleth or loveth a lie shall in any wise enter into it. Therefore man, you cannot enter into heaven.”
   
From today's account we see that it is wise to fear God. Don't claim to be too familiar with GOD, His ways or His word. You must daily examine yourself whether you are still in the faith.

Thought for the day:  Don’t take your salvation for granted. Self-examine your life.
Song for the day: I want to live eternal life, Lord save my soul.
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 145-147; 1 Corinthians 11:1-15

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...
