TOPIC: THE POWER OF DISCIPLINE
TEXT: Jeremiah 35:1-10
KEY VERSE: 1Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

In today’s reading text, we see Jonadab as an example of a self-denier. He was a man of high discipline, who also inculcated discipline in his children. He observed that the children of Israel had backslidden and he being a righteous man, did not want his children to join them in their rebellion against God.  Jonadab, in his fear of the Lord and love for Him, instructed his children to keep away from the children of Israel so that they don’t get polluted as well. They must avoid practicing everything the children of Israel were practicing. He took them to a location and asked them not to build a house but to live in tents, and they should neither plant vineyards nor drink wine.  He gave clear instructions to his children on how to live and shield themselves from the practices of backslidden children of Israel and they obeyed.

There are some things practiced by some churches which came through their leaders. It may not be easy doing some of them but it is being obeyed all the same because they want to achieve something through it. As one person starts doing it others follow. If a driver is driving his master and the master is the kind that doesn’t stop on the way to eat food, will the driver have the courage to stop and eat? Even though he is hungry, he cannot. When I was in the government as an accountant, I was going somewhere with my Director General and when we were refueling at the filling station, I saw somebody hawking groundnut and I bought some. When I gave my Director General to eat he said, “No! Big men don’t eat groundnut on the road.” That day I learnt something. If the head of a household goes to bed by 8:00pm, that family would be sleeping early. Everybody will just fall in line. That is discipline. Develop Christian discipline in every area of your life. Discipline in the study of the word, discipline in listening to messages, discipline in evangelism, discipline in giving, discipline in devotional life, discipline in everything that is of spiritual value. In fact, discipline in your sleep so that you don’t oversleep to forget morning prayers and vigils.

Thought for the day: An undisciplined life is a sinful life.
Song for the day: I’d be a true soldier I’d die at my post
Bible reading for the day:
Judges 3-5; Luke 7:31-50

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...
