TOPIC: FELLOWSHIP AND DISCIPLINE IN HOLINESS
REVIVAL MOVEMENT (HOREMOW) MONDAY
AUGUST 7
TEXT: Joshua 7:
10-13
KEY VERSE: 1 Timothy 5:20
Them
that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
The
Movement began with only one meeting in a month, which seemed later to be
grossly insufficient to meet the needs of the people. This was later increased
to twice a month and again to weekly Fellowship Meeting. It is natural to every
serious Christian organisation to hold prayer meetings, night vigils,
evangelism outreaches and periodic workers’ meetings to strengthen the
spiritual life of the members. These were also observed from time to time. We
are all aware of the starvation of the word of God in truth and holy living in
our society. Many testify that it was as they came to HOREMOW they understood
the truth. We have received favour of God. The consistent testimonies from believers,
from the internet, from people that listen to HOREMOW messages, from readers of
HOREMOW books and materials, including your own testimony, shows clearly that
this Movement is from the Lord. We are being led by God on what to do for His
honour. Fear not, we are not seeking our own glory or seeking to cheat on
others.
The
Movement appreciates various people that came in and worked to bring the
Movement to the point it is now worldwide. However, we have come to understand
now that some of these people are not faithful. They appear to take advantage
of the Movement by turning the members
to their own Churches. Some open their own personal ministries for the converts
of the Movement. Some restrict HOREMOW members in their Churches from attending
HOREMOW fellowship activities. Some focus on financial gain, not on the souls
of the people.
This
attitude destroys the non-denominational stance of the Movement and discourages people and Churches from running to it.
The Lord Jesus is unhappy with this because His vision for end time harvest of
souls in raising up this Movement is being destroyed. This actually is
carnality in man. Following this, the leadership of the Movement took a
decision that those who are denominational minded and occupying high leadership
positions should face their own denominational concerns, so that a
non-denominational man could take over. Not that they are removed from
membership or leadership completely, they are only removed from key leadership
positions to prevent undue influence and advantage over others. This does not
apply to all but only to those observed to have this problem.
In
HOREMOW, there is no respect of persons, preferential treatment or prejudice. A
high standard of discipline is maintained to keep its growing membership on the
track of holiness which is pleasing to God. Every case that warranted
discipline or removal was prayerfully and scripturally handled. All persons
affected were given ample opportunity for fair hearing and clearing of
themselves. Every one disciplined or removed came grossly below the standard of
holiness and righteousness, which all those involved personally admitted to.
Thought for the
day: The Lord rebukes those He loves
Song for the day:
Keep me holy … keep me holy O Lord … any time
you may come…
