Samson Killed A Lion With His Hands 

Thursday May 9th 

Text: Judges 14: 5 - 6

Key verse: Psalm 74:5 “A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.”
A lion roared at Samson but he was not afraid. As the lion rushed at him, the Holy Spirit came upon Samson. He got hold of the lion and tore it. It is the prerogative of God; the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Samson must not meet another lion and say, “I killed a lion with my bare hands so I will handle this one with my bare hands.” Do not try it. Did the Holy Spirit come on you? Did you receive inspiration from the Holy Spirit? Why are you presumptuous? Why do you imagine great things to your hurt because of your pride? The miracle happened by the Spirit of God.
A story was told of an elderly woman that when a vehicle knocked down her grandchild, she rushed to the vehicle, lifted it up and removed her child. Everybody was surprised. Mama, are you a powerful woman? I am a normal woman. But how did you do this? How many people can lift up a vehicle the way you did? I cannot tell. Definitely God wanted to save that child and since God can do everything, He put the power in that woman. With great passion, she rushed without even thinking, lifted up the vehicle and brought out the child. Now, if you say that she is a mighty woman, tell her to lift up another vehicle. Can she do it? No! So, do not be presumptuous by thinking that you can perform miracles. There must be humility. 
Note that there were sick people that Jesus did not talk about? He was not moved to heal them. At the pool of Bethsaida, He healed only one person and left. What about the lame man that was laid daily at the gate in the temple? Did Jesus not pass there several times? You must leave some things until God says so. It is not in you. That is why Joseph told the pharaoh, “It is not in me. God will give a pharaoh interpretation for his dream.” The fact that I interpreted dreams for your two servants does not mean I have the power to interpret every dream. It is God that gave me the interpretation.

Thought for the day: You must leave some things until God says so. 

Song for the day: In Jesus name, every knee shall bow …

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 5-7

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...
