TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING SANCTIFICATION AND HOLY LIVING 
SEPTEMBER Saturday 22

TEXT: Ephesians 5:25-27

KEY VERSE: Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 20: 7

Most churches do not believe it is possible to live a holy life. They say, “We are all sinners.” They say, “Nobody is perfect.” They say these things because they have never been in an environment of perfection or seen a holy man. They want to make Jesus a liar who says, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48. The Shunamite woman had a better understanding of God and His holiness than most pastors of today.  Having observed the life of Prophet Elisha for some time, she made a confession of his piety. 2 Kings 4:9, “And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.”

Acts 26:18, “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins ... and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” In this text, the first part refers to salvation experience which is instantaneous. The second part refers to sanctification, which means to be completely free of inbred sin and the tendency to sin. This is what Jesus promised in John 10:10, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. The promise of life is SALVATION, which is the first experience of grace. The promise of life more abundant is SANCTIFICATION which is deeper salvation and second experience of grace. Sanctification deals with the heart of a person whose sin is already forgiven. It deals with the sinful nature inherited from birth; to remove remnants of sin in you, like anger, bitterness, pride, jealousy. It is not enough to be born again; you must be sanctified to be rapture-ready and truly heaven-bound. Ephesians 5:25-27, “That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

Thought for the day: No holiness; no heaven
Song for the day: Make me holy, make me holy O Lord
Bible reading for the day:
Song of Solomon 4-5; 2 Corinthians 13

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...
