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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
