DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR

22ND MAY, SUNDAY

HAVE THE QUALITY OF HOLINESS.
                                             
TEXT: 2 KINGS 4: 8 – 9 
KEY VERSE: Luke 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 
Some qualities reveal the holy men of God. The scripture says, by their fruits you shall know them there were some qualities the woman of Shunamite woman saw in Elisha that convinced her heart that Elisha was a holy man of God. 
Every holy man of God has the following qualities:
• Pure heart: The holy believer has a pure heart which is filled with fervent and unpretending love for God and his fellow men. Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God” The holy and sanctified believer has a pure heart, a clean heart, a radiant and transparent heart. These are people who will see God, 
• Love: The holy believers who are sanctified also manifest Love as evidence  being their allegiance and fellowship with Christ's Love in them, as manifested in John 13:35 “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye have love one to another.” A holy believer loves the Lord and also loves his neighbours as himself.
• The fruit of the Spirit: In addition to love, all the components of the fruit of the Spirit are complete in the life and ministry of a holy Christian. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such, there is no law.
• Total Obedience: The holy believer is blameless and undefiled in his life. He keeps the whole commandments of God and he is obedient to all Scriptural instructions of righteousness. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies: The testimonies of scripture are his delight and meditation while his life is also fashioned by it. 
• No Iniquity. The holy believer does not commit iniquity. No holy man practices sin neither commits sin nor speaks sin. He does not think of sin or act in sin.
• Walking in all the commandments of God blamelessly: walking in the commandments of God blamelessly includes the payment of tithe, baptism, taking of Holy Communion etc. Wives are to submit to their husbands and husbands to love their wives in return, not love the world. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.   

Thought for the day: Be holy for God is holy

Song for the day: Holiness is the ticket to heaven

Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicle 6 – 7; John 8: 21 – 36

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
