GOD IS ALSO A CONSUMING FIRE
APRIL 2nd
TEXT: 1 PETER 4:17-19
KEY VERSE: “For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:29

God is called by many names and described in many ways. One of the prominent and unique names of God is LOVE. God is love (1 John 4:8). God is also known to be compassionate, merciful, gracious and longsuffering. But that is not to say that God is tolerant of sin, rebellion and iniquity. His patience and forbearance with the sinner is to give him time to repent and return to him and not to continue to grow in sin and wickedness (2 Peter 3:9). Experience from scripture has shown that those who take the grace of God for granted and continue to indulge in sin will eventually face God’s wrath. 1 Corinthians 10:8-12 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9  Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 10  Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 11  Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Often, sinners and backsliders tend to be carried away by the richness of God’s goodness and erroneously conclude that God is too loving and compassionate to damn a soul to hell. Many are misled by Satan who whispers to them, “It does not matter; everybody does it; God will understand.” Will God actually understand? Will He not call the wicked to account? The psalmist pondered this question, “Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it” (Psalm 10:13). The judgment of God is as sure as His salvation. Hebrews 10:30-31 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Heaven and hell are eternal realities. It is the height of self-delusion to imagine that hell does not exist or to think that sinners will escape God’s righteous judgment. The experience of hell is beyond human description. The fear of hell should make sinners run to God. The bible describes the end of the wicked in hell thus: “And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.” Do not take the grace of God for granted. Repent today and escape the wrath that will soon fall on all the disobedient.

Thought for the day:  God’s delayed judgment is an opportunity for you to repent, not to continue in sin. Repent today, confess Jesus and receive eternal life.
Song for the day: Trust and obey
Bible reading for the day:
Judges 8-9; Luke 9:22-56

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...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
