VICTORY OVER THE FLESH 
TEXT: ESTHER 2:16-19 
Key verse: 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the 
victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Queen Esther was a victorious, godly woman amid her peers, who were generally unbelievers and pagans from heathen nations. Circumstances brought her into a contest with all these ladies and she won a resounding international victory to be crowned queen of the empire. May the Lord always remember you and make you victorious in all righteous endeavours. May you emerge victorious when you are examined alongside other people as was the case with Esther, and also with Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

Esther was victorious over the flesh in many areas: She conquered her flesh. She overcame the fear of King Ahasuerus, the monarch of the kingdom. She contended with the fear of death and overcame it. Circumstances brought her in a life and death struggle against Haman, the arch-enemy of the Jews and she overcame him in her wisdom. She conquered because she was a godly woman and her God was with her. The Lord shall raise many Esthers in our time because there are great battles to fight and win for Jesus.

What is worldliness? It means living and behaving like the people of the world. That is living, speaking, thinking, acting, planning and dressing like the world. Seeking beauty and running after the fashion of this world that fades away. Admiring and aspiring for the false beauty from cosmetics, jewellery and all forms of artificial beauty. Esther conquered these things. She was victorious over the temptation of carnal and fleshly beauty, even at the peak of a keenly contested beauty pageant. 
Without righteousness, beauty is vanity. Give priority to righteousness, else beauty without righteousness will not profit you. Real beauty is not about the face but the heart, possessing the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the sight of God. 

Thought for the day: Without righteousness, beauty is vanity
Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of believers, Lord I want to be holy
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 56-58; 1 Thessalonians 3

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...
