TOPIC: JESUS IS OUR EXAMPLE OF SUFFERING
JULY SATURDAY 14th

TEXT: 1 Peter 2:21-25

KEY VERSE: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 2 Timothy 3: 12

Jesus was a bundle of suffering. A Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. In His bed there was no room for Him. As He grew up in ministry the people would pick up stones to stone him. He was despised and hated for no just cause. He would later be taken to the cross for an offence He did not commit, even for the jealousy of men that grew out of the miracles He performed. Those who benefited in the miracle denied Him for fear of man. They spat on his face, they slapped him, they put a crown of thorns on his head, they struck him with a spear, he was mocked and derided until he breathed His last. But His was only an example to us. Tradition has it that Peter had the privilege to experience a little of Jesus’ suffering. His persecutors wanted to crucify him but he was running away from it, so he saw Jesus in a revelation coming to where his persecutors were. Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?” The Lord answered, “I am going to the cross to be crucified the second time.” “Why?” Peter asked. “You have refused it. It is your time, I left an example for you but you are refusing.” Peter replied, “Lord, you cannot go back to the cross the second time.” So, Peter went back to his persecutors and they crucified him but he requested that they should crucify him upside down.

Why are you running away from suffering? Why are you giving up the gospel, giving up holiness, giving up Jesus because of the persecution of your husband, of your office workers? Jesus left an example for you to follow. Others are following, why are you not following? Is your body more precious than the body of Jesus that you do not want it to be stricken? They struck Jesus, spat on Him and insulted Him, why are you refusing to follow the example of Jesus? You want to show bigmanism? You think your body is too precious to be tortured?

Thought for the day: Christianity is not an antidote to suffering
Song for the day: When the battle is over, I shall wear a crown..
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 13-16; Acts 18

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...
