HUNGER AND THIRST FOR TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS    WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 6
TEXT: Psalm 42:1-5                                                                                                         
Memory verse:
King David loved the Lord so much that he always longed after God. He sought after righteousness and truth and pursued it with the whole of his heart, that is why the expression of his heart toward God in Psalm 42:1 “As the heart panted after the water brooks, so panted my soul after thee, Oh God; my soul thirsted for God? Here we see a man that hungered and thirsted after God. To thirst and hunger after God is to thirst and hunger after righteousness and truth. A Christian who follows after truth and righteousness is a balanced person in this life because truth will distinguished him among many and his righteous life will endear him to God. Why?  Because the heart always longs and thirsts for many things and God gives man the privilege of asking what he desire from Him. I king 3:5
 Walk in truth, walk in righteousness and holiness your heart shall be established. The Lord Jesus says, in the book of John 4:23-24 “that God is a spirit and they that must worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. This shows clearly that the believer cannot worship God and his worship accepted by God except when he conducts such worship Biblically, meaning that holiness and righteousness is his lifestyle, living in God’s truth. That truth is about the life a child of God lives at work, in office, in business and within his neighbourhood. Such life of truthfulness and righteousness brightens him in a corrupt and dark world that we are living in. Noah and Abraham were good examples of such children of God in their own time. But if one rejects the truth and refuses to live in righteousness, such a person does so at his own peril. Jesus said in revelation 3: 20. Behold, I stand at the door, and Knock …..” the truth is knocking at your door today. Please open your heart and receive Him. What is this truth then? The word of God is the truth, John 14:6 the scripture also says buy the truth and sell it not. When you live in the truth you will live in heaven eternally. Truth and righteousness go together and these two must be in you before you can eat and enjoy the fruit of it here on earth. Child of God are you aware that without rigtheousness, truth and holiness the gate of heaven is totally closed against you?
Thought for the day: What do you hunger and thirst for in this life?
Song for the day: Something more than gold, something more than silver….

Bible reading for the day: Daniel 7-8; 1 John 5

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...
