TOPIC: IS FAMILY PLANNING SCRIPTURAL?             
NOVEMBER Wednesday 21st
TEXT: Genesis 38: 6-11
KEY VERSE: And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. Genesis 38: 10
QUESTION: In the Bible, Onan was killed by God because of withdrawal and spilling semen on the ground during intercourse, so is it proper to use contraceptives?
ANSWER: That is misinterpretation of scripture. Onan was told to take his brother’s wife and produce a child because the brother had died. He didn’t want it and he was spilling the semen on the ground so that no child should be formed. He didn’t want that act of love for his brother. That means he was a wicked person and God killed him, not because he was spilling on the ground, but his reason for spilling on the ground. There are people who have wet dreams, and they wake up to discover that they have spilled on the bed, will God kill them? Onan’s sin was deliberate and planned; that of the heart, so the Lord killed him, because he was wicked. That scripture is not against contraception done in love and good faith to achieve a manageable family size.
The issue is, did God say there should be no birth control? He told Adam to be fruitful and multiply? How many male Children did He give to Adam as recorded? Two! Abel died, he was replaced by Seth. God said be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, yet in Adam there were only two male children recorded, to show that it is not a literal thing that one man should do. God told Abraham, I have made you a father of many nations, but He gave Abraham only one child through Sarah. How many children did He give Isaac? Two! Isaac was also to be fruitful and multiply, but He gave him two.
Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom. So if God gave Adam two and another man and his wife feel that for the convenience and righteousness of life in this world we will need only two, will God judge them? No. God knows why He gave Adam two and this man and his wife have the reason why they want only two. They have not offended God neither have they broken the law to be fruitful and multiply. That law is not for their family alone, it is for all mankind.
Thought for the day: Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom
Song for the day: Abraham’s blessings are mine
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 24-26; James 3

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...
