TOPIC: MY EXPERIENCES WITH MONEY MINDED MINISTERS OF OUR TIME (1)

TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 6:3-10 
3. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 
4. He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 
5. Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6. But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 

KEY VERSE: ROMANS 16:18: For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

There is a testimony I want to share of my encounter with money minded ministers. In 2007, I Senator Emmanuel Bwacha faced difficulty when I attempted to switch from the House of Representatives to the Senate in the National Assembly. Having served a tenure in the green chambers, I was determined to move on to the red chambers. I had not come into Holiness Revival Movement then. 

A brother who I later met in HOREMOW connected me to a pastor from Ghana for solution but he is no longer here. He used to come for our conferences in HOREMOW and suddenly, maybe he needed to be recognized for he wanted to project himself and that did not happen so he left. He said, I am going to introduce you to a pastor from Ghana that is very gifted. If he prays for you, it will be difficult for you not to get what you want. 

I was then in tribunal for election petitions since the results did not favor me. He said, all you need to do is just to sow a seed in his life. I said, what do you mean by sow a seed? He said, I should give him substantial money that if I give it out, I will feel that I have given out something. I said, okay and gave him five hundred thousand naira. They went and shared the money, in the guise that he was going to pray for me to win the election petition but I lost at the end.

These instances are there all over. In my testimony, I said that I have gone around and seen the things happening in churches before God brought me to HOREMOW. I have had a lot of experience among church leaders but I was thirsty for the true word. You can hardly find truth that brings conviction. 

Ministers are either trying to project themselves or ask for money. These are money-minded ministers. It is a terrible out there. There is famine of the word. Covetousness and lack of contentment are the problems in the lives of many ministers today. In everything they do, their minds are on money.  

Thought for the day:  Do not be a money minded preacher

Song for the day:  I am satisfied in Jesus …

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 21-23

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...
