THE DEVOTIONAL LIFE OF A LEADER

God bless you for taking the time to study.

THE DEVOTIONAL LIFE OF A LEADER

TEXT: JOSHUA 1: 7, 8 

WEDNESDAY MARCH 1st 

Key Verse: Songs of Solomon 1:6 Look not upon me because I am black because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. 
Our scriptural text today has opened our eyes to the fact that our success in ministry is connected to our devotional life with God. Our progress in ministry is attached to our adherence to the commandments of God. As a leader, are you committed to studying the Bible always? Or do you preach much to others whereas your time and relationship with God are suffering? This is the peril of many ministers today. As a minister in the vineyard of God, know that as you get busier in His service, your devotional life will become more difficult. If this is not overcome, personal relationships with God will cease. 
You may flow well in service and pulpit ministration but that is only a gift. You do not go to heaven because you have a gift but because you live and practice the truth. Your devotional life might be taken away from you by Satan if you are not careful. Satan can give you more opportunities to serve and keep you busy in leadership positions, then remove heaven from you. To avoid this tragedy, check up well. Are you too busy, with activities for God without a personal relationship with Him? Are you so occupied in business hunting for money to the detriment of your soul? Our key verse today has addressed this.
Can you see that the speaker was regretting he was made busy in others’ vineyards at the expense of his? When your devotional life with God is no more, it means no more time all through the day to relate with God. Is it your situation? Paul said, “I will never be a cast away after people have seen my work among them, preached on the streets, known me as a pastor, invited me to several places because of the gospel and afterward I missed heaven, will that not be woe to me? He said, “Never! I will not allow that.” 

Thought for the day Your devotional life is your relationship with God

Song for the day I will go with Jesus every day, no matter the ……….

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 26-27; Mark 8:22-38

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 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...
