TOPIC: GET RID OF WORLDLINESS     
DECEMBER Sunday 2nd
TEXT: 1 John 2: 12-17
KEY VERSE: Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2: 15
Worldliness refers to the lifestyles and activities of sinful men living in this world which are invented, inspired and promoted by Satan, the god of this world, which are contrary to the word, way and will of God, and which defile, corrupt and damn human souls in hell fire. Worldliness is living according to the dictates of the world. It is pure carnality. These include the following:
1. The love of money: Many people make money their god. It is their reason for living. They do many evil things to get money. They disregard God’s commands and righteous demands because of the drive for money in them.
2. The love of pleasure: sinful activities give corrupt people pleasure, such as: alcohol; sex; smoking; dancing; wickedness; worldly parties; etc. The pleasures they give are transient and temporary. Many suffer untimely death because of seeking worldly pleasures and entertainments.
3. Ungodly dressing and adornment: Many sinners in the world do not submit to decent dressing. They dress in such a way that will entice others and promote sin. They seek to achieve bodily beauty, attraction and commendation. They use articles of bodily beauty such as perfume, earrings, chains, necklace, rings, bracelets, beads, artificial hair, cosmetics, etc.
4. Search for power through witchcraft and Satanism: Many people want to display power and authority among their fellow men. Maybe they want to be feared and honoured. Some want to acquire wealth, political position or promotion.
Never seek help, prayer, healing, deliverance or blessing from witch doctors or demonized preachers. You will become defiled, unholy and unfit for heaven.
Thought for the day: Determine to live the righteous life required for heaven.
Song for the day: I have decided to follow Jesus
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 47-48; 1 John 1

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
