TOPIC: ENDURE DISCIPLINE TO QUALIFY FOR HEAVEN.

TEXT: DANIEL 1:4-6 

MONDAY JULY 31ST

Key verse: 1 Corinthians 11:32 “But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord that we should not be condemned with the world”
The scripture says that when there was no king in Israel, everyone did what he wanted. In every organized system, there are rules guiding the activities therein. Those who flaws the set standards are disciplined. We learned from the government of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon that he had a very high standard. He ensured those who served under him were trained to attain his set standard before they were brought to serve in his palace. He set the criteria for selection into his training school; children without blemish, well favoured, skilled in all wisdom, cunning in knowledge, understanding science, able to stand in the king’s palace and whom they might teach the learning and the tongues of the Chaldeans”. 
If a mortal man could set such a high standard, the God of heaven requires higher standards. In the government of king Nebuchadnezzar, there was a high level of discipline, failure could attract the death penalty. In HOREMOW, the standard is very high because we are preparing people for heaven to meet with the Holy God. God will not accept unholy people who steal His funds, immoral people who defiled themselves with women/men, or involved in witchcraft and tell lies without fear. 
Discipline is judgment of mercy, to enable you to meet up with the standard of heaven while you are still alive. When a state coordinator was disciplined in HOREMOW headquarters, Abuja, the Lord revealed the scenario to an old woman in that state who was not in the meeting. She saw that two angels came down and stood with Pastor Rika and pronounced judgment on the coordinator. Be serious with your Christian life; if your error is uncovered and you are disciplined in love, embrace it gladly. It is meant to correct you and save you from being judged by the world at the end of time so that you will be accepted by the Lord into His kingdom; a more beautiful place than the palace of the supreme king of the world.

Thought for the day: Discipline is the judgment of mercy; never get angry at it.

Song for the day: I have decided to follow Jesus (3x), no turning back (2x)

Bible reading: for the day: Psalm 62-64; Romans 1

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
