TOPIC: WHAT IT TAKES TO LIVE A LIFE OF POSITIVE INFLUENCE
TEXT: 2Corinthians 4:1-2
KEY VERSE: 1Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

1Chronicles 29:6 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly. Here, we see how the people gave freely and willingly, but it did not just come automatically. Something provoked them to give. Earlier in verse 3 bible says of king David, “Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house. David’s generosity provoked his followers into generous giving. After he had set the example he now challenged them saying, “Who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?” When the leader has set the good example, who will not want to be counted with him? These people might not have done it if David did not challenge them. May be they would have done something, but certainly not much and the vision of building the temple would have been somewhat frustrated.

If you take your friend to your village and when you entered and found your father sitting down, you stretch out your hand to shake your father and say, “Papa how are you doing? I hope everything is fine? How is your body?” And your father replies, “I am fine, thanks.” How would your friend also greet your father? Will he bow in reverence or also stand and stretch out his hand? The way you greeted your father will dictate to him how to greet him too. If you have not given your father much honour, how do you expect your friend to honour him? You are the one to show your friend how respectable your father is in the society, even among his children. You are the one to demonstrate it.  But if on the other hand you came and bow or prostrate, your friend will do the same even if it is not in their tradition to do so. He will not want to disrespect your father, at least not in your presence. Set a good example, people will follow you. It is part of exemplary lifestyle worthy of a believer working hard for heaven.

Thought for the day: Live as a good example to others.
Song for the day: Lord make us instruments of Your peace….
Bible reading for the day:
Numbers 8-10; Mark 5:1-21

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...
