July Wednesday 1st TEXT: Proverbs 1:10-19 KEY VERSE: 1 Timothy 5:24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. Are you really looking for God? Do you really value your soul? Are you really praying that you will escape hell fire? Are you really looking for the truth? Do you really want to be a child of God? You know clearly that these people are evil; you are very much aware of the immorality of that man; you know about his wickedness; they have told you about the witchcraft of that woman and you are still associating with them? Don’t you love yourself? Why are you associating with evil people? Why do you want to corrupt yourself? What agreement has light with darkness or Christ with Belial? Can two walk together except they agree? 2 Corinthians 6:14-17 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship ha...

For taking your time to study remain blessed June Tuesday 30th TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF CONVERSION AND RESTITUTION BY BRO. KENNETH ONUTU (BAYERN, GERMANY) – Part 2 TEXT: Jeremiah 32:26-27 KEY VERSE: John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?  (Continued from yesterday). Then we learnt about restitution. Doing restitution to the Bayern government was a difficult thing because they are tough to deal with, but we made up our mind to confess our sins to the authorities. After we did, they rejected our plea and told us to leave the country. My wife counselled me to seek the services of a lawyer, but I objected and started thinking of how to return to Nigeria and start something there. At the same time, I was crying to God to make the impossible to happen.  I was always seeing myself working for Pastor Rika in dreams. This began to build my confidence and give me peace of mind. However, the government had re...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. June Monday 29th TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF CONVERSION AND RESTITUTION BY BRO. KENNETH ONUTU (BAYERN, GERMANY) – Part 1 TEXT: Acts 3:19-20 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. God has done a wonderful thing for me I can’t explain. I am 13 years now in Europe and I have been a great sinner. I went to church as a nominal Christian and didn’t even have a Bible. One day while I was sleeping, I saw a young man in my dream who told me, ‘I have been waiting for you. I know you will come. Did you know that all you are looking for is in My hand? You don’t want to drop your way and follow My way, but I tell you that if you can forsake your way and follow my way you will get everything. Not just everything, but heaven will be your goal. I will take you to your destination.’ Immediately, He gave...

TOPIC: THE DEFORMED RESURRECTION BODY OF SINNERS (PART 2)         June Sunday 28th Text: Isaiah 66: 22-24 Key verse: Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.  The sinner will wonder at himself and say “Is it me that looks like this?” That is how he will put on a body of everlasting shame. His body shall be a distorted body, as you could see such body in demons who were once glorious heavenly angels but now having tails and horns. When you see the picture of a demon in hell, do you like to see it the second time? That is just the picture. When you see it physically you will not like to look at it again. You will begin to wonder, “Is this a goat or dog or what? Come, what is this or who is this? Please I don’t want to see it again.”...

In times of temptation, the word will appear before you to help you defeat the devil. You will quote it and stand by it. You will receive counsel of the word within you. When you are confused the word will speak. In temptation the word is going to speak to you, counsel you, tell you what to do, give you wisdom of victory. That is what you need to do about the word of God. In Holiness Revival Movement, we have lots of literature and tapes for your spiritual training in the scriptures. Give attention to reading and listening to them. Faithfully do the Bible assignments that are given to you.  Somebody wrote me and said, “Now my eyes have opened to holiness but...

For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: THE REDEMPTIVE TITLES OF Jesus.   June Friday 26th Text: John 1: 1-4 Key verse: John 1: 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.  Many are giving wrong interpretation of the personality of Jesus but the Bible is very clear on it. This is perhaps one of the strategies of the devil to cause spiritual blindness, confuse people and diminish their faith in the redemptive work of Christ. Jesus was born into the world over 2,000 years ago and He grew up into manhood just like every other person, but this Man was different from anyone else. He was no ordinary man but God with us in the form of man. God the Creator became a man and came into the womb of the woman He created to be born as a Man. When God became Man for the purpose of salvation He assumed many names and many titles to serve this special purpose whi...

For taking your time to study remain blessing TOPIC: LEAVE ALL IN GOD’S CARE June Thursday 25th Text: Psalm 33:16-18 Key verse: Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Except the Lord watches over the city the watch man stays awake in vain. The watchman may give the information but that does not stop the enemies from coming. The watchman’s information cannot save the people. It may even scatter the people out of fear. The city may be deserted in spite of the watchman’s piece of information. Moreover, the man may not even have the correct information. Unless the Lord keeps your life, your personal security arrangements and efforts are vain. All the talisman and other charms people use for security are useless. People foolishly go to sign contract with herbalists to keep their lives. It is vain for you to wake up in the morning in pursuit of business breakthrough and continue to ...

For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: BE FAITHFUL TO THE END           June Wednesday 24th Text: 2 Timothy 3:10-17 Key verse: 2 Timothy 4:9-10 “Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.”  From these scriptures, we can see that Timothy was with Paul to the end of his ministry. God did not call Timothy away from Paul. But you will hear some youths in Timothy’s shoes say, “Eh, God gave me greater revelation. In fact, in my ministry with Paul, I was actually the key man that God called. Didn’t you hear that there were prophecies on me? You didn’t hear that I have preached the gospel and laid hands upon men?” That is the language of stubborn youths, rebellious youths that have left the cause of Jesus. Do not let your ambition affect the gospel of Christ. Your ambition will affect the gospel of Christ ...

For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: THE WEARING OF TROUSERS BY WOMEN (PART 3)           June Tuesday 23rd Text: Proverbs 7:10-13  Key verse: Hebrews 5:13 “For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.” Question: Why is it not preached in the churches that wearing of trousers by women is forbidden by the Lord? Answer (Continued): Some pastors have lost the strength to preach against sin. They are compromisers with hardened hearts. That is why the preachers are quiet. Their energies have been eaten up. The God of heaven has been reproving them and saying “Are you a dog that does not bark?”  He kept on convicting them until their hearts became hardened. The preachers are now altogether like their wayward followers. Some of them will even say, “Leave them as they are!” This is because they no longer have strength to rebuke or correct them. The women are therefore left like sheep witho...

For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: STUDY THE SCRIPTURES DILIGENTLY TO BE APPROVED OF GOD    June Monday 22nd Text: 2 Timothy 2: 15-26 Key verse: 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  I remember when I was in School of Basic Studies, Zaria, Nigeria in 1984 or 1985. Already, the mind of God was bubbling in me: how to serve God; how to work for God; how to sit down and read the scriptures. I was waiting for the time I would leave the school and be able to have time to really sit down and study the Bible. Eventually, God provided the opportunity but in a most unusual way. There was a time as an Overseer in Deeper Life Bible Church I was placed on discipline for my scriptural stand on the validity of divine revelation, but I accepted it in humility and good faith. It was to last one year and two months. God in His faithfulness turned the evil into good for m...

For taking your time to study remain blessed TOPIC: LABOUR FERVENTLY IN PRAYERS!           June Sunday 21st Text: 1 Samuel 1:12-18  Key verse: Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.  Epaphras was not just labouring, but labouring fervently in prayers! One who is just lazily moving his or her lips in whispers cannot be said to be labouring. That means when Epaphras was praying one could see his body vibrating, because he was “labouring fervently.” That was the kind of prayer that gave Hannah answer to her request. When she prayed, though her voice was not heard, her lips were moving with deep emotions and heaviness of heart, to the point that Eli said: “How long will you be drunken with alcohol?” When one is labouring, although he may be praying silently, you will see the consecration, the concentrat...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. TOPIC: THE DEFORMED RESURRECTION BODY OF SINNERS (PART 1) June Saturday 20th Text: Romans 9: 20-22 Key verse: Romans 9: 22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction. The resurrection of sinners shall come after the millennial reign of 1000 years of Christ’s administration on the earth. At that time, all sinners shall resurrect from hell fire and be judged before they shall be taken to the lake of fire. What body then shall they come out with? Look at what the Bible says in today’s reading text. The Potter, who makes the pot from clay, makes both honourable and dishonourable clay pots. There is no beauty in the second because it is not for a honourable use. Therefore, he does not bother about beautifying it. God has equally made a resurrected body for sinners that is terribly fit for damnation. It will be the type of body that will ...

For taking your time to study remain blessed.  June Friday 19th TOPIC: HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT IS FOR THE FALL OF SATAN’S KINGDOM        Text: Luke 10: 17-24 Key verse: Luke 10:23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:  Holiness Revival Movement is a battle axe against Satan and his kingdom, to break into pieces the power of Satan and his agents. Before Jesus, every power is made to bow and every tongue is made to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. The LORD says, “Arise and shine for your light has come.” He says people shall come from all over the world to the brightness of your light. The power that brought you to Holiness Revival Movement is from heaven. People are still coming and it is unto the Lord, not to man. They are coming and it is your time. You will arise, the glory of the Lord will take over you too.  Let me share a story one brother...

For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: THE MARVEL AND EXCELLENCE OF GOD’S Power  June Thursday 18th Text: Colossians 1: 16-17 Key verse: Psalms 62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. I feel comforted, I feel confident, I feel warm in myself that power belongs to God because I am in Him. I have identified with Him. He has spoken that He loves me and will care for my life. I feel secure because I know that it is true power belongs unto God. He knows me inside out even more than I know myself.  This is too wonderful for me to fully comprehend. By His creative power He formed man. By His power, He created the universe. Everything you see around you was brought into being by the power of God. By His power, He formed the mountains, He formed the oceans, the waters, He formed the sun, the moon, the constellation of stars in the heavenly sphere. Here is a snippet of God’s incredibly awesome power in creation and sustenan...

For taking your time to study remain blessed  June Wednesday 17th Topic: IF YOU BELIEVE GOD, THERE SHALL BE A PERFORMANCE   Text: Isaiah 41:9-13 Key verse: Luke 1:45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. Have you truly believed what the Lord has told you? Have you genuinely trusted in His ability and integrity to do what He said He will do? Those things you believed will be done. God told Abraham, “I have made you a father of many nations.” All circumstances surrounding Abraham’s life were contrary to the promise of God for him. But Abraham hoped against hope that he would be a father of many nations and it became so. Abraham ended up as the father of many nations, because he was fully persuaded that God is able to perform His promises in his life. You cannot make yourself a father or a mother, talk less of a father of many nations, but you can trust God to make you so. The enemies succeeded i...

Topic: LEARNING HUMILITY FROM TIMOTHY June Tuesday 16th Text: Philippians 2:19-23 Key verse: “Mark 8:36-37 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Timothy with Paul was a son to his father. He was not comparing himself with Paul. He was not comparing his anointing with Paul’s. He was not comparing his popularity with Paul’s. He was not comparing his giftedness with Paul. He was not comparing his calling with Paul’s. No! He was a son to his father. These are the kind of people the Lord is looking for. People the Lord will raise up that will be subject to authority and dead to self for Jesus submitted to Joseph His father until he was thirty years. Joseph was not a minister anyway, but he was head in all family matters. Why did Jesus not jump out of that place and say, “No, I can’t stay here?” Submission was part of the work of God; ...

For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC: THERE IS PERFECT PEACE OF MIND FOR THE RIGHTEOUS June Monday 15th Text: Acts 12:5-8 Key verse: Isaiah 26:3,4 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: God has determined to keep you in perfect peace if your heart is stayed in God in complete trust. If you can turn that family matter over to God in trust, the Lord will handle it and grant you perfect peace. Do you have a troublesome man or woman around you that is giving you some sleepless nights? If you turn over that person unto God, you will be smiling home to enjoy your peaceful night rest. The Lord your God will speak from heaven on that matter and peace will rule on earth. Trust is the unbeatable secret of peace. Is there trouble anywhere? Trust in the Lord for solution be peaceful. Trust will surely grant you perfect peace. In your poverty a...

For taking your time to study remain blessed.  TOPIC:            June Sunday 14th Text: 1 Thessalonians 5: 23, Ecclesiastes 12: 7, Hebrews 4: 12 Key verse: Proverbs 8:31, “Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.”  “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” (Genesis 1:26). God is saying, let us make man in three distinct persons like us. No animal has this nature. Angels in heaven don’t have it. The creation of man is superior and best in comparison to all other creations of God. God’s delight is with the sons of men because they resemble Him the most. He made man to be like Him, after His likeness, after His Person. This also explains why God became Man to redeem man from sin because man is too precious to be lost.  God could lose an angel but not man. Man was made in His image. God loves you so much. God is not talking about animals or trees. He is talking about you, because you are i...

For taking your time to study remain blessed.  June Saturday 13th TOPIC: A SPIRITUAL BODY THAT SHINES AS THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE FIRMAMENT           Text: 1 Corinthians 15:51 – 53  Key verse: Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever”  At the resurrection, a spiritual body will be given to you which will be great and fantastic. The resurrection body of the saints is likened to the body a seed that is sown assumes when it grows out from the ground. The resurrection body of the redeemed shall be given by God and shall be fitted for heavenly life. It is the one that is fitted for eternity with God. This is revealed in the scripture to be incorruptible, without sickness, deformity nor subject to death. It can never be marred, confused, twisted, nor in any such condition. It will be immortal. That resurrection body can never see death neith...

I was already an ordained pastor with Living Faith Church but still a sinner. In my thirteen years in Living Faith Church, I never heard about or knew what restitution was. I came to know this in Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW). The message of restitution convicted me as a sinner who gave a false age to get employment with the First Bank of Nigeria Plc. After hearing this message, I lost my peace and could not wait to report myself to my employer. The day I was to send a mail to the headquarters in Lagos, the fear of losing my job gripp...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. June Thursday 11th TOPIC: WE ARE THE ADOPTED SONS AFTER JESUS THE BEGOTTEN SON TEXT: 1 John 5:10-13 Key verse: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Many people misunderstand this term or the description given to Jesus as the Son of God. Some reject Him because of this title. The Islamic religion in particular contend against this title saying God cannot have a Son. This has been an obstacle on the way of many because without believing this eternal truth, they cannot believe in Jesus and be saved. Even among the Christians, many are still confused about this title but you need to understand clearly that while it is affirmed that we have one God, Jesus being the Son of God does not mean Jesus Himself is not God. When the title “Son of God” is used with respect to Jesus, it does not connote the same meaning as children being born ...

TOPIC: EMULATE MARY WHO RAISED UP GODLY PREACHERS June Tuesday 9th Text: Matthew 13: 53-56 Key verse: James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. The Holy Scriptures made us to understand that Mary gave birth to other children. According to today’s reading text, Jesus had four brothers and at least two sisters from Mary. This is to say, Mary had at least six children after Jesus. These children were born in sin like any other children. The coming of Jesus from Mary’s womb did not purify her womb from sin. All of these six children were sinners. They did not believe in Jesus Christ when He was in the world as a man. These children had a mother that should have made them serve God in holiness. Joseph might have died, leaving Mary with the children alone. It means six children were under her supervision. Her six children did not automatically give their lives to Ch...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. June Wednesday 10th TOPIC: THE LORD IS THE STRENGTH OF THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM Text: Psalm 144:1, 2 Key verse: Psalms 37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. The Lord God is the strength of those who trust Him. He renews their strength when they are weak. He opens up His good treasure house unto those whose trust is in Him. He makes them to benefit from His goodness and kindness. The Lord will entrust you with His riches because you have trusted in Him. When Job trusted the Lord, He showed Job goodness and mercy and restored double-fold all that he had lost. The one who puts his trust in the Lord does not lose anything. He may appear to have some loses in the eyes of men but in the eyes of God, he has lost nothing. He is my goodness, and my fortress, my high tower. God is the protector of those who run to Him in total trust. The Lord is my high tower that I can climb and see afar of...

TOPIC: THE PLACE OF THE CHURCH AGE IN GOD’S PROGRAM June Monday 8th Text: Luke 1: 26 – 33 Key verse: Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. You will understand that God at first began with the Old Testament saints: the Israelites as a nation; and the Bible says that salvation is of the Jews, but the Jews rejected Him. Then the Lord said “Go ye into the world…” and at that time the church was born. Paul described the gentile church as being grafted into the main stem of the tree. As an illustration, the church of Christ is like the boy’s quarters in a building. A man was building a house but whatever happened, he couldn’t continue with the building and he quickly decided to build the boy’s quarters. According to him, “After I have built the boy’s quarters, I will move into it and then continue with building of the main house.” That was what happened. The Lord was dealing with Israel as a nation, but beca...

For taking your time to study remain blessed TOPIC: GOD HAS HEARD OUR CRY FOR REVIVAL June Sunday 7th Text: Exodus 3:6-10 Key verse: Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. There is a God in heaven that hears cries, that knows when you suffer, that knows when you weep, and that knows the state of your heart and the longing of your heart. He hears the cries of the little birds on top of the tree looking for food, and this God heard the cry of the children of Israel in Egypt. They were passing through bondage and oppression of Pharaoh. The people cried and God said, “I have heard the cry of the people and therefore I have come down to deliver them from the hand of Pharaoh and to bring them out from the house of bondage into a new land flowing with milk and honey. Therefore, Moses, I am sending you to Pharaoh that you may bring forth My people out of Egyp...

TOPIC: THE NATURE OF RESURRECTION BODIES June Saturday 6th Text: 1 Corinthians 15: 35 – 44 Key verse: 1 Corinthians 15: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There are those who wonder how the resurrection will take place or how the bodies of the resurrected saints will be or which type of body they will put on. Now, if you are to sow a corn, it is the grain that you sow in the ground and not the new product. It is when the grain dies that a new product comes out with a new body different from the grain you sowed and it will be looking more beautiful and colourful as well as wonderful. It is God that chooses to give every seed the body that He wishes it to have in His own wisdom. It is the same thing with the resurrection bodies. When a man dies, at resurrection God will give him a new body, just as Paul described the types of bodies God will give to the resurrected saints. It is not going to be you looking as you wer...
