TOPIC:  THE GOSPEL IS NOT A MONEY-MAKING VENTURE  

TEXT: TITUS 1:4-9
4. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 
8. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: 

KEY VERSE: 1 TIMOTHY 6:10 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. 

Pastor Emmanuel Bwacha told this story: “I have this Muslim friend who one day told me that he wants me and him to set up a church. I said, ‘What do you mean by that?’ He said, ‘They are making money from there.’ You know, it is what they see around other people. Some pastors will go to them and not talk about their salvation; they will be talking about money. 

How will you that do not know Jesus Christ say, ‘Let us partner and establish a church?’ I mean, it is very ridiculous.  It is just to tell us the level of decay in the church.” Anybody that can speak English will just print a billboard with his wife and keep on the road and put a sign board with an arrow pointing to the place. It is all about money. It is an investment. And with time, it grows. 

See the evil that money does to ministers. Some of these ministers were actually called but they turned away from truth and started looking at the benefits associated with the ministry and gradually fell off.

A lot of these people believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ is a commercial enterprise. It is for business. They complain about money. Were you called to do this work for money? Why is your mind on money? Why are you focused on money? We know that money answers all things. 

God will not forsake anybody who preaches the truth because since I was young and now I am old, I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his children beg bread. Do not be carried away by fear of the unknown. God will take care of you if you do the right thing.

Know that what is happening in Holiness camp is God Himself that is involved. Resources come in from everywhere. The other day a brother was telling us that when we started the campground project, a brother abroad was sending in a million naira daily for about two weeks. 

Thought for the day: The preaching of the gospel is not for money making

Song for the day: I will give, I will give to God, what I have..

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 28-30

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...
