God is pleading with you to repent and return to Him. He is calling you back to a life of righteousness and holiness. You are backsliding. You have left His course. You are now using God’s money for business, saying you borrowed the money. From who? Under whose authority? You took His money. I heard the story of a sister that was a chapter treasurer. She said that a hand appeared in her room in the dream and to her surprise when she woke up, the twenty-five thousand naira she was keeping for her chapter disappeared. That hand stole it. Later, she had another dream; maybe wind blew into her room and another money was stolen. How do y...

Jesus was crucified on the cross. Remember His painful cries because of great weights of human sin and wickedness. Jesus, who was God in the flesh cried because of pain. Not because of any weapon or energy of men because of the load of human sin. He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Sorrows and pain in His life because of the sins of men. Would you think to add one more sorrow to Him by immorality? Would you want to add more to that sorrowful Savior; add more strokes and say it is not enough for Him by going into witchcraft, idolatry and pleasures of flesh? Do you want to smite Jesus again? Do you not pity Jesus? Do you want Him to cry? You say His cry is not enough. Do you want t...

Do not promote your name by insisting on doing things you are not supposed to do, just to let people know you are there. Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves. Esteem others according to their levels of anointing. level of training, level of experience, level of grace, level of anointing and level of power. Learn it. Do nothing because of vain glory for people to recognize you; you will be an abomination to God, an obstacle to God. You will be a destroyer to the work of God’s kingdom because He is the one that makes differences in anointing. If as a short man under a mango tree, wit...

Is it no more in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost? Has Peter changed it? By what authority? Can a servant of God change the word of God? Can a disciple of Christ change the authority of his Lord? There were three kinds of baptism going on at that time: the baptism of John unto repentance, the baptism of the Hellenists who were Pharisees that made Gentile converts into Judaism and the baptism authorized by Jesus. The people that gathered before Peter on the day of Pentecost might have undergone the first two baptisms already but not yet the baptism in the authority of Jesus.  Peter’s speech was meant to differentiate the baptism he...

Repentance towards God is required because you have done evil against God and you want to stop it. Not hypocritical repentance because if you know God is angry with you for doing those things, you will not try it again. However, for those that have repented, you will discover that it is not by your power. You need to be helped, hence the necessity of faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ. Look to Me and be ye saved all the ends of the earth, for I am God, besides Me there is no Savior. God commanded Moses to make a serpent of brass and raise it up on a pole that whosoever looks on it shall be delivered from the poison of the serpent. As Moses lifted up the...

You may be struggling to cast out a demon but someone with greater anointing may just walk in and that demon will say, ‘Sorry, I am going’ because he has checked the anointing and authority that has come in. The disciples asked, “Why could we not cast it out?” You will need to fast and pray but before the Lord, the demon departed. In medicine, some doctors do not handle certain cases but refer them to consultants. You need to acknowledge and recognize higher ministers in your life and ministry. Do not destroy the people of God by answering questions wrongly and giving unscriptural counsels. The Spirit of God was upon Moses in great measure; hence he could d...

Continue in that spirit for surely, He will come to reward you. God is a rewarder but He must reward those He called; whose names are in the Book of Life. If your name is not there where will your works be recorded? Else you were there but you later withdrew. You were really admitted into the school but you withdrew because you did not want to continue anymore. You withdrew or maybe the school dismissed you. If you later go back to school and start reading and working again whereas your file has been closed and your name is no more in the active register of the school. Where are they going to record that work?  A man worked...

On 6th of October this year, my 14-year-old daughter, named Hannah Koffa who lives with me informed me that she could no longer see. I questioned her to know whether the eyes had been giving problem but she said, “No.” We tested her and asked series of questions then, it became clear that she had gone blind. We took her to the JFK hospital. Three tests were done but they could not find the problem with the eyes and ordered for a brain scan. We went to another hospital and did two more tests. The brain scan report was negative and the doctor's report was that she has no chance of seeing again because the problem could not be determined. We were i...

You try other means but you forget Jesus. Child of God, how could you forget Jesus? Bring back Jesus to your active memory. The Lord that saved you is with you. Remember Jesus at that time. Some of these drugs may not work well or may delay. You worry, cry and get discouraged because you forget that Jesus is the Healer and Deliverer. Jesus is the supreme Healer. He is the deliverer. He heals using or not using drugs. He heals in all the terms of healing. He heals in all the perfection of healing. His healing is presently available.  Remember Jesus at the time of your sickness; He is the deliverer so turn to Him a...

Many preachers called by God have been destroyed by indecent dresses of members. There are instances where a pastor sleeps with his members or rapes a person. Many heaven-minded believers have been destroyed by seductive dressing. This was one of the ways that Satan destroyed churches and it is still happening in our time. When true believers who want to serve God in holiness associate with people with indecent dressing and lifestyle, they either copy them or lust after it. Then, ...

It was an unusual manifestation of the Holy Ghost that happens once in a generation according to the mind of God. If you have a wedding and you need drinks, pray and plan in advance. Even if there is lack of drinks, pray for God to supply. Do not ask people to fetch water and fill water pots to turn them to wine as Jesus did. The seven sons of Sceva tried such and demons handled them very well. So, do not do such things. How do these signs follow those that believe? In my name they shall lay hands upon the sick and the sick shall recover; the normal way. Pray for the sick, lay hands and call upon God in the name of Jesus.  Believe and it shall be done. “For whosoever shall say to this mo...

There are unique miracles of God that He does not continue with and you do not ask Him to repeat them because He chooses to do them by Himself. He chooses to release those miracles and they may happen once in a generation. He revealed His will in them. He caused the Red Sea to dry up. Will you keep asking the Red Sea to part? No. God has not promised to part rivers for you, such that when you want to cross the river you ask God to divide it for you. It is unique; it was done by Moses, Joshua, Elijah and Elisha. That ended the issue of the sea parting. So, do not seek to repeat it; instead of looking for a way to cross the river, you then say that God should d...

We are not given the same level of faith. Therefore, why do you struggle to be great like the other man? Who told you it was by struggle he reached there? You do everything carnally yet you will not reach there. It is not possible with your struggles, Whichever way you do surgical operation on a man to become a woman, you cannot get a perfect man in a woman. However intelligent a surgeon you are. Whatever your struggles, you cannot become like that man because when the centurion asked Paul if was a Roman citizen? He said, ‘Yes I am.’ He replied, ‘I purchased citizenship wit...

Someone may decide not to give birth to many children because he may not be able to cater for them. Some of them may end up as vagabonds and not even go to school. God is not against that wisdom because He does not want you to have wayward children. However, God gave Jacob many children; twelve boys and a girl. Jacob was fruitful indeed and multiplied and replenished the earth. Some people desire to raise large families like Jacob. They are not sinning. If there are enough resources and they decide to raise large families, it is not sinful. The one that gives birth to one or two is not sinning either. Let everyone be convinced of what he can do. The scripture does not compel o...

When ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.”  From our key verse, a psalm, doctrine, tongue or revelation is the word of God. Some stand only on doctrinal teaching of God’s word but psalms (songs), revelations (visions), tongues and interpretations (prophecy) are part of God’s word. Doctrines are from the written word, tongues and interpretation are prophetic while revelation is the revealed word. These are the forms the word takes so as you come to service, you will see various manifestations of the word of God. Give place to it. Do not refuse singing; it is the word of God ministering to people. The doctrine quoted from scriptu...

How could they all compromise?’ Nobody, except you for this holiness. Stand strong Moses because the people’s hearts are faulty; if any of them will reach heaven, it will be through you. As you see them, the devil can terrify them and human pressure can overcome them. If you are not there, the hope for your people is very slim. Nay, there is no hope. ‘Get thee down, they have quickly corrupted themselves.’ How old is HOREMOW that you have corrupted yourselves? That a preacher can embezzl...

Learn how to respect God and His works so that you do not use human powers to block God. Divine calling is not only on ministerial service but happens even among unbelievers in the world. There are people God raised up, like Cyrus to do His will. God called him by name and appointed him as the one to deliver Israel from captivity and build the temple. Why? God has His choice. He said, when I was forming you before I brought you into being, I had thought of the work you are to do. Even before he was conceived by his parents, I decided to give that child a ministry. The choice is not of man, therefore do not struggle against God in carnality by re...

Maintain A Closer Walk With Jesus  Saturday, March 16th Text: John 12:20-21 Key verse: John 12:32 “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” How can you see more excellency of Jesus when He is not constantly in your mind? You say you are married to Jesus but there are distances between you. You are a child of God but there are distances between you and God. You begin to try to view who this Jesus is. Like the woman whose husband has gone to America for years, so the wife is working hard, O this man, how does he look like? Whenever he is laughing how does he appear? Because time has disfigured that man before that woman. She cannot actually think very well. That’s how it is. You are serving Jesus unconsciously. Good, you are serving Him, but He wants you to serve Him knowingly. Serve Jesus with understanding. Be with Him now. Walk with Him. Stay with Him, that when you walk or sit, you walk or ...

Satan Tried To Stop Me From Working For God In HOREMOW Text:  1 Thessalonians 2:17-20       Wednesday March 13th Key verse: James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” My name is Samuel Reuben. I was recommended to Daddy Paul Rika for employment as a driver but Satan fought to stop me. I learnt that the Movement was set to buy a truck so I volunteered to get a good one. God helped me to get a truck at a cheap price but my motor boy lied that I had added money for myself. Thank God that Daddy Paul Rika investigated the report and employed me on probation. Later, the boy repented and did restitution. God helped me to forgive him. A week after I started work, a Senator I had worked for asked me to see him. When I got there, his wife asked me to drive her to the market. When we came back, the Senator asked his wife, “How was his driving?” She rep...

I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecostals and evangelicals...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision, and Action To Reach the Unreached (1) Text: Romans 1:14-15 Monday, March 11th Key verse: Jude 22 “And of some have compassion, making a difference.” As a member of deeper life, God granted me an understanding of the scriptures and knowledge of holiness. Outside deeper life, other churches were in ignorance; not knowing the message of holiness. What they practiced was below a hundred percent. Everywhere in all churches, the dressing of the women was not heavenly. I saw the pieces of jewelry and the dancing going on and knew that the Holy Ghost was not there. I saw the ungodly lives of the people and said, “Something must happen to the churches of the world if God will get people to heaven.” Even within deeper life, many lacked the conviction of holiness. The doctrines were enforced; without doing it you will be disciplined. Many people obeyed as robots. Life was not there. Outside deeper life they will drop everything and move their way, saying,...

He said, “Many damned souls are still entering hellfire because of ungodly dressing. Satan has chosen this area to defile many in My house and the world. This part of My doctrine has been neglected by many preachers and believers worldwide. Tell Pastor Paul Rika and the leaders here” He called out three sisters that were in the conference and drew my attention to the styles on their...

He meant the ordinary meaning of the word as we have seen it in scripture. Ordination is the verbal pronouncement of divine choice and calling upon His servant. Before you came, I ordained you. I chose you. I anointed you. I prepared you. It is a spiritual word but today the title, ‘Bishop’ has been consecrated and made special by some churches. such that not everybody is bishop even if you are a pastor; bishop has been reserved for some high-ranking ministers according to their own denomination. Is that provision in the scripture? Apostle, Venerable Apostle, Archbishop. They leave the spiritual and go on the physical. ...

Holiness Gives Assurance Of Answers To Prayers Friday March 8th Text: Psalm 66: 16 - 20 Key verse: Psalm 66: 18 “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” From our key verse, the Psalmist had a testimony from the Lord in answer to prayer. Come I will tell you what the Lord has done to my soul. I prayed unto Him in my distress, pain and desire of my heart and the Lord heard me. He granted me my desire because of holiness; because I cleansed myself from sin, stopped all evil in my life and turned to Him fully. I avoided every sin and conducted myself in righteousness. He heard my prayer. If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, He would not have heard me. Thank God I came to righteousness before Him that the Lord would hear.  Why do you exact much force in prayer when sin is still in you? Do you lack understanding? Iniquity will stop God from answering you. Why do you labor in prayer when...

Men do not light a lamp and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick that it should give light to everyone that is in that environment. God saved you to save others. When the maniac of Gadara was delivered from madness, he came to himself and believed in Christ. He wanted to follow Christ wherever He went but Jesus said, “Go home to your friends, to your people and declare to them what the Lord has done for you and how he has shown you compassion.” The man went to ten cities around where he was, from city to city because he had operated in those cities and they knew him. “This is me.

Is life well with you? Do you prosper in spirit, soul, and body? Do you flourish materially? Do you have new clothes and shoes, wrappers, and changes of clothing? Remember Jesus did it. It came from Him. Have you bought a car or house? Do you have a good business? You feel so happy. Do your enemies laugh with you with all their hearts? No more enmity. Life is well with your enemies so that you can look around and say, ‘I have no enemy.’ Is your life filled with peace? Are you peaceful in your house? Do you drive peacefully and sit in your office happily, none troubling you? Remember Jesus. Oh, husband and wife, there is great fun in the house. You sit on the table, beautiful ta...

The parents discovered that he was the one who stole the money and were angry with him. He became afraid and ran away and left the town completely to a faraway town for quite some years. But the desire for his family came to him. He started longing for them but how will he return? He didn’t know what to do. He started wishing to go back home. What will they do to me? He wrote a letter and acknowledged that he stole the money; that it was wickedness he did but that would they forgive him? If they will forgive him, they should give him a sign.

God's blessings shall follow you continually for taking the time to study Beware of Strange Practices in Ministries  Sunday March 3rd Text: 1 Kings 18:25-28 Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order.” If you have bought an anointed handkerchief for blessing, healing and protection and it is carefully kept in your box, it is an idol. The anointed handkerchief that they gave you about eleven years ago is still in your box. You have told your children, “Anytime you have headache, carry it and cover your head for 5 minutes then put it back there. Make sure it does not get dirty or torn.” That is an idol. Evil mentors taught you this wickedness to turn your heart from God. They do not tell people about their sins. Sin cannot block you from using handkerchief and holy water but can block you from receiving the miracles of Jesus. You therefore need to examine your life first but with these people, you do not need to do any self-examination.  Cultic ...
