DON'T DIE IN A FAR COUNTRY   
TEXT:  LUKE 15: 17-21
Key verse:  Jeremiah 3:12 “Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, 
Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to 
fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger forever”

A man left his country and went to a far country for business. There in that country, he became sick and died. His relations instructed that he could be buried there. What a pain to his relations and friends! They would see him no more forever. His name soon vanished from their memory. There was nothing to show for him. Anyone can die far away from home and be buried like this.
There is great danger if you die being far away from God (1) Angels will not carry you to heaven, because you do not qualify. (2) God will send your soul to hell. (3) Your righteous relations, parents, friends and acquaintances in Christ shall not see you in heaven. (4) The material things you got in far country life shall never be traced. (5) There shall be no remembrance of you in Book of life.
There is danger in living far away from God. Death can strike at any time. There is danger in delaying to coming back to God. The door can be closed against you. You may go too far to come back. Don't be deceived by tricks of Satan like pleasure, lusts, power, riches, beauty and friendship with the world.

The prodigal son delivered his soul by taking these positive steps to return:
· Realization: I am perishing away from home.
· Resolution: I will arise and go to my father.
· Repentance: I have sinned; I am no more worthy.
· Return: He arose and came to his father.
· Reconciliation: The father received him with a kiss.
· Re-clothing: The father re-clothed him.
· Rejoicing: There was feasting and merry-making. 

Thought for the day: Don’t die in a far country. Come back home. The Father is waiting for you! 
Song for the day: Until I reach my home (2x), I will never….
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 27-28; 2 Timothy 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...
