HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE, HOREMOW

DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR 

DATE: THURSDAY MAY 11, 2023

TOPIC: BE STRONG IN THE LORD 
 
TEXT: EPHESIANS 6:10-18
10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. 
11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 
12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 
13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 
14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 
15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 
16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 
17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
 
KEY VERSE: EPHESIANS 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
 
There are things you need to do to be strong in the Lord. In life, people are told to take some vitamin drugs, food supplements and tea, saying, “They will help you! They will give you strength! This will take care of any sickness! They will boost your immunity!” And because you want to be strong and healthy, you go for these things. 

What do you go for in Christ to be strong in the Lord? What spiritual vitamins do you have for your spiritual life? Make effort to acquire Christian materials; books, magazines, tapes, bibles and commentaries. have prayer. 

Get prayer sessions in tapes. Arrange a powerful prayer session from sessions you know you have listened to in tapes; cut and join the prayer sessions together to form an hour or more of prayers. Any time you are weak, play it and struggle there to wake up; crying, shouting and binding. 
 
Have you kept essential messages for times of weakness to make you strong in the Lord? Do you have prayer partners to pray with physically or on phone or zoom, to help you not to backslide? With all your Christian life, demons harass you when you sleep. You have to rise up. 

But when you are in prayer you will not see those things. Which means God allowed them to come and wake you up in prayer. Sister stop crying and rise up against spiritual husband. Spend time to pray. Bind, break and cast it out. You will not see it again. 

What effort are you making to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might? What are you doing to develop your faith? Faith in God is enough to quench those things; you may not even pray. If you have a bad dream and you are not afraid because your heart has been exercised in Christ to let you know that nothing will happen to you. That is faith! 

Be strong in the Lord not be casual in the Lord but you are casual! How many hours do you pray per day? Regular fervent prayers will make you strong in the Lord. It is these ingredients I am telling you about that you need. Gather them together, you will be strong. 
 
Thought for the day: As you care for physical health also care for the spiritual.
 
Song for the day: I’m pressing on the upward way.
 
Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 1-3; John 3:22-36

HOREMOW.

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...
