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

TOPIC: WHY SOME DENOMINATIONAL PASTORS SHY AWAY

TEXT: ROMANS 8:5-8  
MONDAY OCTOBER 23RD

Key verse: Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God 
Though the Holiness Revival Movement is non-denominational and open to all denominational pastors and churches, I came to the understanding that many denominational pastors who had earlier joined withdrew along with their members for the following reasons: They feared that they would lose offering. So, they withdrew because of money. This is in spite of the fact that I often tell the congregation to pay their tithe wherever the Lord leads them, Holiness Movement is not established for money-making. God Himself finances the work, and he uses those who are willingly available. About two years ago, someone sent more than $100,000 and said I should do whatever will glorify God, and you see the work moving. Let not money come in and hinder the souls of men. We avoid compulsion, but then these people became afraid and withdrew from the movement. 
They could not practice the high standard of the word (John 6:59-69). The doctrinal teachings are hard, but there is no alternative. Those who stay back remain because they desire eternal life, and there is no alternative. Some left because they could not preach the message truthfully. A lying tongue is but for a moment. There is a time when your lie will find you out. So, all who pretend to preach holiness will, with time, cease because how long will you pretend to act your height? They feared the members would eventually discover their nakedness, so they withdrew. Some withdrew because Satan attacked them and discouraged them. They are like the seed that fell by the wayside; the birds of the air came and picked them up. They withdrew because they were not heavenly-minded They withdrew because they were more interested in the things of the earth (1Corintians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable).  

Thought for the day: There is more to life than money. 

Song for the day: My lifetime, I will give God my lifetime…if I give God my life…. 

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 9-10; 1 Timothy 3

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
