DO NOT BLOCK THE WAY OF GOD THROUGH YOUR HUMAN SYMPATHY OR JUDGMENT

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

TOPIC: DO NOT BLOCK THE WAY OF GOD THROUGH YOUR HUMAN SYMPATHY OR JUDGMENT August Saturday 8th

TEXT: Psalm 139:1-3

KEY VERSE: Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 


It takes spiritual understanding to see things in the way God sees them. A man was watching a cocoon (shell). The cocoon was shaking and turning this way and that way. He was wondering what was happening. Suddenly, the shell had a crack and the head of a butterfly came out of the cocoon. The man exclaimed, “Ah, so butterfly is inside here? This is mystery.” The cocoon continued shaking and shaking; turning here and there, then the head came out fully, but the body was still in the cocoon. The cocoon started turning again and the man in sympathy thought in his mind, Oh, you want to come out of this cocoon? Is the cocoon too strong to allow you come out? I am going to help you to come out. 


He went and picked the cocoon and broke the shell but in the process, the infant butterfly died. He started wondering why the butterfly died. What the man didn’t know was that the formation of the butterfly was attached to the strain it was passing through. As he saw the butterfly turn this way and turn that way, he didn’t know it was part of the maturing process for its body. As it turned and turned, the matured part of its body would come out. That is how God made the process of its birth. When the shell was artificially broken, the un-matured part of the body of the butterfly suffered irreversible damage in the process. That was why the butterfly died. So be careful how you meddle in other men’s matters. 


Are you a sympathetic person? We praise God, but be very careful. There is a limit to how you can interfere in other people’s matters. If you do not apply good discretion, you may turn out to be a nuisance and guilty of sin. You are not the creator of that person, so you cannot be more sympathetic than God.  Who knows more between you and God? Who is more pitiful, who is more understanding? Job said, “He knows the way that I take.” Do you know the way a man takes? That is why you must deal with care. Know that God has a programme for every man He has created. Learn not to interfere or block the way of God by your human sympathy or judgment. 


Thought for the day: Let God have His way in all situations

Song for the day: Have Your way oh Lord, in our lives…..

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 82-84; Romans 8:19-39

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...
