GIVE AN ACCUSED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND HIMSELF – Part 2

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

TOPIC: GIVE AN ACCUSED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND HIMSELF – Part 2   September Thursday 10th

TEXT:  Acts 25:4-5

KEY VERSE: Acts 26:1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself: 


As much as possible, one should listen to both sides for good judgment and understanding.         Acts 25:14-16 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix: 15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him. 16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him. 


In this text, Festus was saying “The Jews brought this man to me and said he has done evil against their law and as far as their law was concerned, this man deserves to die. But I told them it is not according to the Roman law to have a man condemned unless he has been given opportunity to defend himself. Let his accusers speak and let the man also speak.” But because of selfishness, we condemn people on religious, family, denominational and other basis which make you to be guilty before God and your righteousness is taken away. Satan has cheated many people in this way. Let him not cheat you in Jesus name. 


The scripture gives credence to some people to be believed because of their godliness and clean history. Such people are believed because of their godliness, because of their clean history and the plain facts they have spoken. 2 Timothy 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. Paul could write this way because he knew that what he told Timothy, taught Timothy, narrated to Timothy were the perfect truth. Timothy, you know my life, my purpose, my fear of sin, my holiness, and my labour to enter heaven. Hold on to the things that I have told you. Believe the doctrines that I have explained to you and continue in them. Such credit can be given to some categories of people whose life is beyond reproach. 


Thought for the day: An accused is innocent until proven guilty. 

Song for the day: Rock of ages, cleft for me

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 17-18; 2 Corinthians 2

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...
