LABOUR FERVENTLY IN PRAYERS!

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 concentration, the vibration, and you will know that something is going on. The angels are watching and observing as the place shakes. When a machine is shaking, you know it is working.
Epaphras prayed, labouring fervently! You need to understand this because you may be the type that even a fly will not notice that any action is taking place when you are praying. When you pray, the fly will feel comfortable to remain on your body because you are almost motionless. Is that prayer labour? Let your fervent labour in prayer be visible to observers. Let me use a soldier in the warfront as an example. In his movement, will he walk leisurely? From the way he stamps the ground with his boots, with hands laid firmly on the trigger, you will know that this man is ready for action. So, pray with a military attitude; be active. 
You have been called to the duty of prayer. Do it actively. If we desire good things from God, we must engage ourselves in the duty of prayer: asking, seeking and knocking at the door even when the circumstances look odd. In the hard circumstances, prayer and fasting are required.
Thought for the day: Labour in prayer like a soldier in hot battle.
Song for the day: Paul and Silas they prayed, they sang, the Holy Ghost came down
Bible reading for the day: Esther 1-3; Acts 5:1-16

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...
