     For taking your time to study remain blessed.

TOPIC: CARE FOR YOUR LIFE November Saturday 7th
Text: Acts 27:33–36
Key verse: Acts 27:34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
Some basic necessities are required for your health and wellness. Carelessness in taking care of one’s health could have grave consequences in future. For instance, some people may have accident today and fail to go for proper medical check up, only to begin to experience the effects much later in life when they go to the doctor to make complaints. Oh that you were wise at that time. Feed your body with appropriate food for your health. Be careful with fasting. If you persistently subject that body to a bad condition you shall find it so in future.
A particular pastor once said, ‘I have finished all my fasting!’ I asked, ‘How did you finish your fasting?’ He explained that he went on marathon fasting as a young preacher, until stomach ulcer caught up with him. Now that you claim to have finished fasting, have problems also finished? Why did you finish your fasting so early? Have troubles of life that may warrant scriptural fasting and prayers also finished? Let your moderation be known to all men.
Be informed that if you fail to take proper care of this body today, it might be the reason why you may backslide tomorrow? When some sicknesses come on some people and the pain is too much to bear, they begin to accuse God. It was on account of Job’s body that the wife asked him to curse God and die. If Job was not committed to righteousness, the case of his sickness was enough to make him angry with God. Do not wait until you become older and older and the body takes another shape because of the way you treated it yesteryears, and then you begin to accuse God or blame others. Do not engage in risky businesses that could bring ill health to your body and affect your performance. There are some businesses that may give you pneumonia or asthma due to exposure to dust, irritants or extreme cold weather. Be careful with your health.
Thought for the day: Take positive actions early in life to take care of your body.
Song for the day: It is well with my soul
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 46-48; Hebrews 4

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
