GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED  PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR 1ST MAY, SUNDAY HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED  TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 5:22-24 KEY VERSE: DANIEL 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drinks: therefore he requested of the prince of eunuch that he might not defile himself. To be sanctified and remain sanctified you have to do the following. * Be determined: If you do not want sin and evil to manifest in your life come to that determination. Come to that state that you have made up your mind that sin will not have dominion over you and that sin will never rule your life. All carnality must be gotten rid of. Be determined that your heart shall never envy a man nor lust after a woman. Psalm 17:3 thou has proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shall find nothing; I am purpose...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR SATURDAY APRIL 30TH SATAN USES DECEPTION TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF THE TRUE CHURCH TEXT: 1 KINGS 22: 21-24      KEY VERSE: JOHN 8:44 “ye are of your father the devil and the lust of your father ye will do…. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it” The battle over the souls of men is a very strong one. Jesus died to bring the church to holiness so that the people could go to Heaven. Satan is working hard so that nobody will come to Jesus. He uses deception to keep the people away from Jesus. Deception is a false statement made convincingly to make someone believes a lie. The power of deception is lying, and Satan is the father of it. Satan has guided the people with the power of lies that they are unable to repent.  Satan’s use of deception did not start today. Judas Iscariot was a victim. He ...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR 28 THURSDAY APRIL BRAIDED HAIR/PLAITING OF HAIR EXPLAINED TEXT: EPHESIANS 2:1-3, 1 JOHN 2:15-16  Key Verse: Nehemiah 8:8- So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. The reason God gives commandments to us is to instruct us on His righteous ways, to promote righteousness, prevent sin, and protect the righteous from satanic influence. Braiding or plaiting of hair in these passages does not refer to the simple clean and the decent way women weave their hair or use simple thread to tie strands of their hair to keep their hair natural, neat, long and feminine. It rather refers to the unnatural, ostentatious and fashionable hairdo practised by the ungodly, according to the dictates of their god and master, Satan. It is designed to satisfy the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR 27TH WEDNESDAY APRIL IMPLICATION OF REFUSING TO DO RESTITUTION              TEXT: GENESIS 20:1-18 KEY VERSE: GEN 20:18 “For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife” Restitution is required for all believers to prevent the accuser (the devil) from accusing them before God. It is also to enable one to be at peace with all men which is a necessary condition for entry into Heaven. Is there an implication if someone refuses to carry out restitution? Yes! The following are some of the implications: • Failure to do restitution shows that the offender is disobedient to God’s command: For instance, if you are married to somebody’s wife or husband as it was in the case of King Abimelech, you are distorting God’s eternal plans for that man and the woman, and God will no...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED  PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR 24TH SUNDAY APRIL SOURCES OF CORRUPTION IN CHILDREN  TEXT: ISAIAH 30:9-11, ROMANS 1:3 KEY VERSE: PSALMS 101:3 “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me” Children in our days have been affected in lives by the pollution of almost everything by the devil. In order to save our children, the knowledge of the following is necessary: • Peer group pressure plays great role in influencing the children today. It is therefore necessary for parents to monitor and ensure that their children and wards relate with holy folks. For instance, Amnon influenced by Jonadab got satanic advice that led him into committing immorality with Tamar, his sister..  • Music, Films and Movies are associated with dancing, pornography, witchcraft and immorality. The Psalmist said “I will set no wicke...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR RESTITUTION IS APPLICABLE TO THE NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVERS 23RD SATURDAY APRIL TEXT: LUKE 19:1-10  KEY VERSE: ECC 3:15 “That  which hath been is now, and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past” Restitution can be seen as the practice of the law of conscience, formal or informal, whereby the offender rectifies his ways by confessing his crime to those he has offended in apology. He may be required to return stolen items to the rightful owner or confess lies told or acted to those deceived or pay back their debts owed or relinquish false claims, property, results, certificates, and uncover hidden crimes committed against men or society. Restitution is practised generally even among the heathen. Very often you see someone apologizing to another, “I am sorry.” This is also practised in the government. We have the...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR 22ND FRIDAY APRIL PATTERN OF WORSHIP ACTIVITIES IN THE BIBLE                     TEXT: NEHEMIAH 8:1-12 KEY VERSE: 1 Timothy 2:8 “I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting holy hands, without wrath and doubting” Today’s text gives us a good understanding of the pattern of worship activities in the Old Testament which is similar to that of the New Testament. We observe the following: • The congregation come together to hear the word of God which was central to their activities  • Ezra, the priest here was the pastor of the congregation having other elders and workers to support him in ministry. • The word was read and they listened attentively  • Ezra stood on a pulpit together with some supportive elders • Ezra led the people in a period of praise and worship of God. The people ans...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED  PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR 20TH WEDNESDAY APRIL GOD DEMANDS TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO HIS HUMAN ORDAINED LEADERS. TEXT: JOSHUA 1: 16 – 18   KEY VERSE: HEBREW 13: 17 “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you” In Israel when there was no king everyone did what he wanted. God ordained human leaders to lead and ensure orderliness. The following are other reasons why God demands total obedience to His ordained leaders: • They are His Representative: God requires that our obedience to His ordained human leaders must be total, complete and wholesome, without any resistance as long as it is in the course of God and righteousness. God passes through them as He passed through Moses to instruct your life. • Total Obed...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED  PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF HUSBAND AND WIFE IN FAMILY DEVELOPMENT  19TH TUESDAY APRIL      TEXT: PSALM 115:9-15   KEY VERSE: ECCLESIASTES 4:9 “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour” The Lord has been mindful of us and wants to bless our families. He wants to bring an increase to your family. He promised to do this because you have given your heart to Him. As you practice righteousness and holiness in your home, you will see a new home. The demons that have been troubling your family shall give way. The spirit that troubles the heart of your husband or wife that things cannot go well shall give way, Amen. “For I know Him (Abraham) that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord to do justice and judgment; that the Lord will bring...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED  PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR 18TH MONDAY APRIL WITHOUT HOLINESS, OUR LABOUR ON YOU IS IN VAIN     TEXT: LUKE 1:74-75 KEY VERSE: MATTHEW 5:48 “Be ye perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” We are in danger of labouring in vain if we are not able to bring people to perfection. Our preaching and work over you are to bring you to the state of holiness. If we helped you to be born again but could not make you holy, then our labour is in vain, because you cannot go to heaven.  Hebrew 12: 14 “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” Without holiness, no man shall enter Heaven. Although you can be appointed to be a leader, your position cannot give you heaven. No! You go to heaven by your holiness. You can be given gifts or promotions but not Heaven. It is when true preachers finish their course and wear the ...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED  PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. 17TH SUNDAY APRIL  RIGHTEOUS WAYS TO FIGHT THE DEVIL AND GO TO HEAVEN TEXT:  Ephesians 6:10-20   KEY VERSE: John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it. When you are born again, it is like someone that has climbed to the top of a very high tree who must be cautious or else he falls to the ground. What it means is that you are in a battle and you must be conscious of the forces that want to destroy your soul. To win individually and collectively with HOREMOW, the true ministry of God, you need the right attitude: • You must put on the whole armour of God: Be equipped with the word of God and maintain holin...

DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR IN HOLINESS MOVEMENT. 15TH FRIDAY APRIL YOU ARE SECURED  TEXT: 1 Peter 1:15-16 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” Holiness is the summary of the gospel of Christ: the Holy God lives in Heaven, came to the world to save man to live holy so that He will take him (man) to live with Him in Heaven. The voice of God calling for holiness is scarce in our days but thank God for Holiness Movement, many people are being enlightened to the true doctrine of God and sinners are being convicted; Believers now live with the consciousness of the rapture. There are testimonies of men and angels that Jesus Christ is the owner of the Movement and has chosen Pst Paul Rika as the human leader to direct the affairs of the Movement.  1 Peter 1:15-16 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Jesus...

The scripture says we wrestle. Many believers are not aware of the things the enemy puts on the way against them; the poison arranged against them, the satanic plans against them for the next five years or even twenty years, etc…  The ones already injected into you, the forces sent against you, you are not aware of. Know this otherwise, you will not be able to make it. Many ministers, with all the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the years spent in the ministry, a...

Getting wisdom, getting understanding, is important in this life. Wisdom is here personified. God wants to promote you. God comes through wisdom: If I am with you, you will dwell with wisdom and with prudence. If I am with you, you will dwell with peace and strength. By me princes and kings reign. That is promotion. You can have all the gold on this earth but without wisdom, you will make foolish decisions. If you have Me, you will make good decisions. I love them that love Me and I will be with them. Proverb 8:31-32 “Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, and My delights were with the sons ...

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN DATE: MONDAY 11TH APRIL TOPIC: WE MUST FIGHT TO GET THE WITCHES AND WIZARDS OUT OF THE CHURCH. TEXT: Acts 13:6-11 Key Verse: Acts 13:12 “Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord” The witches and wizards have done much damage to the church of God. Paul’s preaching was obstructed by a certain damsel with the spirit of divination until he had to cast it out of her.  These are fellow humans who allowed themselves to be used by evil spirits to cast spell on people and hinder the spirituality of those who want to go to Heaven.  They give demonic prophecies as was the case of the damsel who proclaimed that Paul and his men were “servants of God who show unto us the way of salvation” but it was by divination spirit. Many start with true prophecies and revelation but gradually introduce demonic ones to confuse the people.  If you believe initially, you will ...

GREETINGS DEARLY BELOVED  PLS KINDLY STUDY AND BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME AMEN HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR APRIL 10TH SUNDAY SINNERS ESCAPE FOR THERE IS DANGER AHEAD. TEXT: 1 John 2:15-17   KEY VERSE: Psalms 9:17 “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and the nations that forget God”  The end time message of God is for the church to come out of personal sin and polluted churches. Many sinners who appear to have run into the church for salvation are in churches with polluted altars. God keeps revealing that His church is dirty and the people should repent. The people collecting bribes are members of churches, and some of them claim it is from there that they pay tithes to their churches, abomination! Many Christians are in the Nigeria Police Force, Civil Defence Corps, Road Safety Corps and other work forces but are making things difficult for one to scale through a process without committing si...

Coronavirus (COVID 19) vaccine is not the mark of the beast with the following scriptural clarifications:  • The next plan of God is the rapture, not tribulation.  The signs of the end time are what we see around us including any sad effects in the coronavirus vaccine. Those fighting the work of God have been in the world since the time of John the Baptist, it is not new 1 John 4:1-3.  • In the rapture, those who have died in Christ shall descend to the earth and unite with their bodies and rise to be with Jesus in the sky, while bel...

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. THURSDAY 3RD MARCH SUPPORT THE MINISTRY OF HOLY AND FAITHFUL PREACHERS WITH YOUR MONEY TEXT: 3 John 1-8                                      Key verse: Acts 4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them and brought the prices of the things that were sold.  Gaius in our text was a well-beloved believer; generous and charitable. He was a lover of truth and righteousness; he walked in the truth; a holy and righteous man.  He did well to the brethren, and even to the people, he did not know. Believers in Christ testified to the truth of Gaius’ support to the brethren as the widows testified of the charity of Dorcas. Outside Jesus, your material resources will be stinking. When there was a need in the church in Jerusalem, God impressed on Barnabas to sell hi...

REMAIN BLESSED FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. DATE: WEDNESDAY 6TH APRIL TOPIC: REASONS FOR THE BATTLE AGAINST WITCHES AND WIZARDS IN THE CHURCH TEXT: Acts 8:9-11 Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to eat. Some people are offended and are complaining about the prayer against witches and wizards, and the ex-communication of those discovered in the Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide. Is there not a cause? They call it humiliation but to us, it is an eternal battle for our souls: They are sources of defilement: In today’s key verse, we are not to regard nor seek after wizards or those with familiar spirits because their activities aim to defile the people and stop them from going to heaven. You refused to confess and believe God’s power and love for your salvation, t...

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN.  TOPIC: CAST YOUR BURDEN UPON THE LORD, HE SHALL SUSTAIN THEE  DATE: FRIDAY 8TH  APRIL TEXT: Psalms 55:22  Key Verse: “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28. God wants His children to depend on Him for everything. When you are going through challenges in life, remember that the Lord is waiting for you to cast it upon Him.  He is not only aware of what you are passing through, He shares it with you. He feels what we feel and HE is the one who cares for us.  In today’s text, the Psalmist says “cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved”. God says to His children “Give Me every set of circumstances with which you feel unable to deal or handle.  The pressure upon you to “respond” to those circumstances immediately may be very great, but you must always make time (even if...
