GOD CARES
May Thursday 24th

Text: Mark 4:35-40
Key Verse: Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

A lot is happening to believers this end time that makes it look like God does not care. The evil work of Satan is so pervasive in the land causing a lot of hardship to people including the children of God. Joblessness, poverty, sickness, business failure and untimely death have become common phenomena. Children of God persist in fasting and prayer hoping to overcome the challenges but it lingers on. Saint, this scenario is not sufficient to conclude that God does not care about you. He cares. Two biblical examples will suffice:

1. LAZARUS. Lazarus was sick and Jesus was sent for to heal him. Jesus delayed until Lazarus was dead and already four days in the grave. Did Jesus not care? He cared. It was to bring glory to God (John 11:4). When Martha saw Jesus she said he came too late (v.21). Jesus explained to her that nothing is too late for God to do (vv. 23-26). Indeed, the impossible happened as the decomposing body of Lazarus came back to life (vv.38-44). God was glorified and the testimony brought great conversion of souls.  John 11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. By the time God finishes with you, your testimony will be uncommon. The power that has tied you down will be loosed. Your dry bone will receive new life in Jesus name.

2. JOB. Job did not offend God. Contrarily, God was boasting about him. Job 1:8, “And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?”  Yet Job passed through great tribulation in the hands of Satan so much that he regretted ever coming into the world and cursed the day he was born (Job 3:1-13). Job cried unto the Lord, but he was not getting any response. Did God not care? Job was wise enough to know that God cared in spite of the travails he was passing through. He concluded, “I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.” Indeed, the latter days of Job was better than the former. Job 42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:

The seeming silence of God over your situation is not sufficient to conclude that God has abandoned you or that He does not care for your wellbeing. He does. Faith requires that you continue to believe in God even when positive signs are not manifest. 

Thought for the day: God cares for you. Keep faith with Him.
Song for the day: Call upon me in the day of trouble ... Come upon me I will deliver you
Bible reading for the day:
1Chronicles 11-13; John 9:1-23

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...
