TOPIC: THE GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM      December Tuesday 31st
TEXT: Luke 22:23-27
KEY VERSE: Mark 10:44 “And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.”
Greatness is not in physical appearance or human recognition. Greatness is not a matter of out ward position or human recognition. Let us come to money, who has the most money here in his possession, you may not tell, the person you think is not the one, may be you will be judging on the clothes or shoes the person is putting on. Your judgment may be wrong. So, in the same way the greatest in the kingdom is not someone you think is occupying this mighty position such as International Director, maybe you are judging wrongly God knows who actually is the greatest, therefore do not seek great positions hoping to attain greatness thereby. Do you know that God does not see greatness in position? There are many General overseers, Church founders and Bishops over great assemblies whose names are not in heaven, because of sinful lifestyles. They arrange for immorality with women in various places and claim that they are going for missionary work, and you think he is going to preach there. He goes over there to do what he wants, and comes here and be saying when I was in America it was great. You say great man of God, Bishop of human recognition. It is a matter of inward humility, in the Spirit, in the heart greatness in the kingdom is not a matter of position occupied, leadership authority, spiritual gift and power, political office, academic degree, fame among men, success and achievements. True greatness can be seen where godly virtues are manifested as great faith, outstanding godliness, wisdom, manifesting great acts of sacrificial love. It can be shown by manifesting great self-control, and patience. It is a matter of heartfelt love for God, and commitment to His word and to holy living.

To the woman, the Lord says do not seek to please your husband through carnal beauty but rather be spiritual. Your face may not be beautiful, but righteousness makes every woman beautiful. This is where beauty is. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Why are you running after physical beauty that appears today and fades away tomorrow? Run after greatness in the right area, develop your virtuous qualities as a woman. Brothers among the leaders come down. Do not seat on top of them. Do not make any impression because, you want to show that I am among the higher coordinators then, you are the least among them if you keep on making a show of yourself.

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...
