HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE - Daily Devotional
EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING
BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA
(Int'l Director)
SUNDAY MAY 6, 2018
TOPIC: FREEDOM FROM WITCHCRAFT
TEXT: ACTS 19:18-20
Key verse:“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” Col 1:13
Some ministers forbear to preach the truth because they want to have money; they want to ride jeep; they want to have mansions but there is no genuine conversion. They call themselves successful but in truth they are going after vanity and shall end up in the pit of hell. Never say they are successful because they are not.
Following are the identification marks of a successful minister:
1. Righteous and holy living. You might have been failing because of sin in your life. Have you been living a lie? You're are committing immorality; how can you be
successful? You are saved to serve God in holiness, not in sin. Luke 1:74-75
74. That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75. In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
2. Faith in God (Hebrews 11:6; Jeremiah 17:5-8). Your ministry should be God centred. Run your ministry by faith. Don't look to any man. Look to God alone. Why go about begging men for money, telling lies to get money? You don't mind
collecting dirty money as tithe from evil workers armed robbers, 419, kidnappers?
3. Persistence in prayer. Jeremiah 29:12-13
12. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13. And ye shall seek me,
and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
4. Love. Love God to the point of suffering for Him. God suffered and died for
you in love but you're not ready to suffer persecution of people by telling them the truth that will save them? If you love the people you will not be hiding from them the truth that will save them. Matthew 22:37-38. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind … Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
5. Knowledge, understanding and practice of God's word. Ezra 7:10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
6. Associate with holy and faithful ministers. Learn from righteous people, holy ministers. Proverbs 13:20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
7. Be fearless and courageous. 2 Timothy 1:7.
8. Be hardworking. Proverbs 22:29.
Thought for the day: Serve to please God, not men.
Song for the day: I will exalt you Lord for thou has lifted me above my enemies, your banner over me is love.
Bible reading for the day:
1Kings 12-13;
Luke 24:36-53
