DOUBLE CURE FOR SIN

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

TOPIC: DOUBLE CURE FOR SIN 

DATE: MONDAY MAY 3rd

TEXT: EPHESIANS 5: 25-27

KEY VERSE: John 17: 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

The Scriptures present sin in two forms: the practice of sin and the inherent nature of sin. This two-fold nature of sin requires a two-fold approach to overcome sin completely. 

The inherited nature of sin manifests after salvation experience in some believers as an inner irritation, an unholy passion within a man that stirs up unrighteous desires, and appetites that are contrary to God's demands. 

The cravings of this sinful nature are entirely contrary to God and it will never surrender to the laws of God. This usually baffles the true believer who is both astonished and ashamed of the appearance of such base thoughts and desires. 

Its sole purpose is to influence the believer to engage in sinful ways of life. It is this manifestation of the sin that the second definite Christian experience or work of grace called sanctification deals with.

In our key verse, Jesus prayed to the Father that His disciples might have this definite experience. At this point, these disciples had been with Him for more than three years. 

He prayed this prayer for these disciples and for as many who will come to salvation as a result of receiving His words. Salvation and Sanctification are two different experiences. 

If the Lord Jesus prayed for His disciples to receive this second work of grace, it establishes the fact that all those who profess to be His disciples must fervently seek this second work of grace in their lives also. It is needful to rid oneself of all inner strivings, evil passions, and all the sinful tendencies within one's heart. 

From our text, the Scriptures tell us how Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her to present her unto Himself without spot or blemish. Jesus gave Himself to sanctify His Bride (the Church) – to cleanse her of all filth and unrighteousness and to make her fit for Himself. When the believers become sanctified, the glory of God will manifest in the church. 

Thought for the day: God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ

Song for the day: Wash me, O Lamb of God, wash me from sin...

Bible reading for the day: 1 Kings 6-7; 
Luke 23:27-38. #Horemow

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...
