TOPIC: THERE IS STRENGTH IN UNITY AND GREAT PROFITING IN GIVING
TEXT: 2 Corinthians 9:6-11
KEY VERSE: Genesis 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Let me share a story I read somewhere to emphasize the fact that unity is indispensable in building and sustaining relationships. The story goes like:

“A few years ago, I was walking with a friend in the Muir Woods which is just close to San Francisco in the United States of America. It is a redwood forest. We came upon the tourist guard and he was explaining to some tourists the secret of the forest. He told them that the sequoia and redwood trees are the largest tress on the planet. Some of them are hundreds or even thousands of years old. But interestingly, their roots do not grow deep. And then he said these trees have been standing for centuries upon centuries, enduring massive windstorms, devastating earthquakes and other threatening weather conditions even though they had no deep roots. Then the question arose, “How do they keep standing without deep roots?” The guard paused so that we could ponder this mystery. After a while, he decided to reveal to us, the underground secret of the redwood forest.

He said that the roots under the ground reach outward seeking the roots of other redwood trees and when they meet, they interlock to make a permanent bond with each other. In this way, all the redwood trees in the entire forest are either directly or indirectly giving support to each other. Unity is their strength! They reach out to care for each other. Even little new born baby redwoods with their little tiny roots, are given shelter by the ancient giants. In the Muir Woods, nature is giving humanity a very crucial lesson that our real strength is in our willingness to care for and support each other. We are caretakers of divine property. Wisdom is to understand this simple universal principle that IN GIVING, WE RECEIVE. By getting things, we make a living. By giving things, we make a life. The spiritual evolution of a society can be understood when people love people and use things. But all too often in today’s world, it’s just the opposite. People use people, and they love things.”

Thought for the day: In giving, we receive.
Song for the day: Give it shall be given unto you … good measure shaking together
Bible reading for the day: Genesis 29-30; Matthew 10:1-23

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...
