IT IS YOUR CHOICE
May Friday 18th
Text: Deuteronomy 30:15-20
Key Verse: Psalm 119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

Although there is a calling and anointing, there is no compulsion on the part of God for you to keep His commandment because man is at liberty to exercise his freewill. As a free moral agent, he can choose to do what is right or wrong. He is free to take harmful decisions and damn the consequences. You love fornication? God will not stop you. The choice is yours. You love stealing, quarrelling and lying? God will not stop you. The choice is yours. Pastor, you want to steal church money and sleep with the singles and married? You want to use fetish powers to perform miracles, signs and wonders? The choice is yours, God will not stop you. But you may also choose to serve God in truth, righteousness, holiness with diligence, absolute commitment, transparency and honesty. It's all your choice. You have to choose whether to be used as a vessel unto honour or dishonour.

In Judges 14:1-3 Samson made a choice of wife among the Philistines against his parents’ counsel.  Samson had a great gift and calling but he remained in sin. His gift made him tear a lion into pieces with his bare hands. By anointing you can break the yoke yet you are still a sinner. By anointing Samson harvested honey in a bee comb without being stung (Judges 14:7-8). The presence of God protected him. God was protecting Samson to preserve him for the deliverance of Israel. God will protect you to serve in your ministry, it is your own duty to preserve yourself in holiness so that you don't labour for God in vain. Those who serve God in sin end up in hell and forfeit their reward in heaven.

God makes you to see visions, to prophesy, takes you to heaven and hell to lead many to righteousness but if you have no holiness, there is no eternal reward. You can receive reward on earth but not in heaven. Jehu was called to destroy the house of Ahab but he could not maintain holiness. He went into idolatry. God preserved his generations on earth but he was condemned to hell. You have faith that can move mountain but without personal holiness or righteousness it is all vanity. You may have riches on earth because people are showing appreciation, but forget about heaven if there is no purity and holiness in your life.

Thought for the day: Stop shifting your responsibility to God. Choose right.
Song for the day: Where He leads me I will follow…
Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 20-22; John 6:45-71

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...
