TOPIC: LET NO MAN DESPISE THY YOUTH, BE AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS
SEPTEMBER Saturday 15th

TEXT: 2 Thessalonians 3:7-9
KEY VERSE: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4: 12

You might have just begun your Christian life or probably you are a young man and have to deal with older men. The scripture is saying, let no man despise thy youth. Rather, set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. Do not be a jester, talking and laughing uncontrollably and giving no peace to the environment. That would be setting a bad example that will defile the environment. There was a woman that always cut off a protruded part of the chicken whenever she was cutting it to cook. One day, somebody who had been observing her asked why she cut that part off, noting that it was the part some people love to eat. She laughed and said that was how she saw her mother doing it. The person asked, “You didn’t ask your mother why she cuts it off?” She explained that she didn’t ask but saw her doing it and she too began to do the same. The person went to her mother and asked, “Mama, your daughter said she learnt something from you; that this portion of the chicken should be cut off before cooking, what is the reason?” She too laughed and said, “That is how I saw my mother doing it.” Perhaps if it were possible to continue the enquiry up to the great grandmother the answer would have been the same.

Let people see goodness in you and emulate it. You will be spreading good. Righteous character, edifying words, good manners will be spreading and blessing people. The way you live your life will influence people around you and promote righteousness, Christian love, friendliness, gentleness and it will put smile on people’s faces. People will learn and spread the goodness to others. Be an example to others in your relationship with God and your devotional life. Be an example in faith and in overcoming fear. Elisha’s servant learnt from Elisha. The enemy surrounded them but Elisha was unmoved. Teach your children how to believe God. Teach the church, teach the family, practice it. Be an example in holiness, in a pure heart, in undefiled dressing. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your goodness and glorify your Father in heaven. The Lord bless you, the Lord give grace to you.  Amen.

Thought for the day:  Christian maturity does not come by age but through obedience.
Song for the day:    My life shall be a testimony.
Bible reading for the day:
Proverbs 28-29; 2 Corinthians 7

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 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...
