TOPIC: PRAY TO PURGE YOUR HEART OF ENVY                                              April Sunday 12th
Text: Ezekiel 36:25-37
Key verse: Matthew 15:8 This people draweth near to Me with their mouth and with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me.

Envy is a spiritual defilement, yet it is something very common among Christians and Christian ministers. Nobody envies a rich man more than a rich man because he does not want anybody to be as rich as him. He wants to be the only focus of attention and object of honour and reverence in the society. Satan knows the damaging effect of envy in the life of a Christian. He knows that it kills the righteous; it burns through the heart of the righteous; it empties the righteous of his righteousness. Envy and Pride are twin brothers. The proud and the envious want to outshine others.

Envy works to pull down and defile the righteous man. The Lord said, “A new heart will I give you.” God is promising you a new heart to remove defilement in your life. Defilement such as envy comes from an unsanctified heart. An un-regenerated heart rules you because it is stronger than your ability to manage. God says, “I will root it out; but you have to ask Me.” It is not only in your life; other people around the world are also experiencing it. If you want purification of the heart for your holiness, cry to God. Then your heart will be pure, you will think towards others with a pure heart. If a brother has a gift, all of us will gather around to support his ministry. That is true Christianity!

Footballers often demonstrate this comradeship. When a player scores a goal, they all rally round him in celebration. They would say, “Our team is the winning team.” Unfortunately, this is not always seen in the Church. Christians hardly see the gifted ones among them as a blessing to all? How wonderful it would be to hear fellow brethren say, “O bless God! That brother is a blessing to this Church or this Ministry. I am a partaker of his blessing!” There are people who have no genuine respect for leadership. They may pretend as if they love the leader but God is able to see through their deception and imperfection. Holiness of life is not by mere profession in the mouth but by actual possession in the heart.

Thought for the day: God promises a new heart and a new life provided you can pray
Song for the day: Give me love for my brethren, love from above…
Bible reading for the day:
1 Samuel 10-12; Luke 13:22-35

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...
