 For taking your time to study the word of God remain blessed.

TOPIC: ETERNAL LIFE IS CONDITIONAL ON CONTINUED OBEDIENCE. JANUARY Thursday 7th
TEXT: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
KEY VERSE: Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Once-saved-forever-saved is a doctrine commonly preached in some churches. It was a doctrine Satan introduced to encourage sin in the church and damn souls to hell. The true position of scripture is that salvation can be lost. The name that enters into the book of life today can be blotted out tomorrow. Bible tells us that when Moses was praying to God to forgive the children of Israel or else blot out his name from His book, the Lord said, “No, whosoever has sinned against Me, he will I blot out of My book.” In the book of Revelation Jesus also talked about those who will practice righteousness: “if you do that which is right, your name shall not be blotted out of the book of life.” These scriptures are telling us that names can be blotted out of the book of life, hence, we must serve God sensitively. Although we got salvation by faith and not by works, we know that salvation will be established by works. You must do works of righteousness to justify that you have faith. James wrote and said “is a man saved by faith only and not by works? Did not Rehab obey the instruction given to her to be saved after she believed in the Lord, the God of Israel when she laid the red cloth behind her window as she was instructed? Was laying of that red cloth, not the work that showed that she has faith?” Faith must go with works otherwise, faith is dead.
Today’s devotional text reveals Paul’s understanding of the truth that God does not give a guarantee of heaven to anybody. (God told Moses, “Whosoever hath sinned against me, he will I blot out of My book”). “Whosoever” means anybody, which includes the bishop, the General Overseer, the Evangelist, or whoever has sinned against Him. God is no respecter of persons. David was a man after His heart, but he did not take his salvation for granted. He says in Psalm 101:2, “I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way … I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.” Even though God recognized Job as blameless, Job did not relent but continued to work out his salvation with fear and trembling. Paul testified of the holy life of himself and other apostles thus: Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe.” 1 Thessalonians 2:10
Thought for the day: Don’t be careless with your salvation. You can lose it.
Song for the day: Jesus keep me near the cross
Bible reading for the day: Genesis 18-19; Matthew 6

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...
