God's blessings shall follow you, for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: BE A SERVANT OF CHRIST TO BE A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL

TEXT: MARK 3:13-19  
MONDAY AUGUST 28TH

Key verse: John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.  
Today’s scriptural reading accounts for the purpose of the divine call. These disciples of Jesus received the commission to be ministers of the gospel. He called them to be with Him and to minister to Him. So, a minister is one who is with Jesus. He must be with Jesus that is the first thing. A preacher must first be a servant under Jesus. Sometimes, the church invites preachers who are not servants under Jesus; hence, they are not ministers. A medical doctor can be called to come and teach medical knowledge. He is not a minister of Jesus because he is not with Him; he is not born again; he is not teaching by the Holy Ghost; he is just impacting physical knowledge. Jesus’ minister must be with Him. The church must be very careful that they don’t just call anybody that professes to be a minister, but does not know Christ. 
Some people pretend that they have seen revelation, but it is a lie because Jesus did not appear to them. They are not Christ’s ministers. A minister of Christ must first be with Him, must be born again, serve Him, and learn from him. “… And he got up into a mountain and calleth unto him whom he would and they came unto him and he ordained twelve that they should be with him and that he might send them forth to preach.” The disciples were to learn Christ’s life and ministry and the doctrines to go and preach. They are to observe and understand how they are to render service as ministers of Christ.  Mathew 11:29. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me. Jesus is saying, “Learn of My life and doctrine.” An apprentice must learn from the master how he does his business. He will learn his attitude and mannerisms on how to treat customers. If he is a bad man, the apprentice will be like his master; but Jesus is a good man so He is saying, Learn My life, learn My doctrine. 

Thought for the day: If you are not with Christ, you cannot represent Him well. 

Song for the day: Lord I want to be like Jesus in my life 

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 136-138; 1 Corinthians 9

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...
