TOPIC: THE TONGUE OF AN UNSANCTIFIED CHRISTIAN  

TEXT: JAMES 3:6-12 
6. And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8. But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12. Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

KEY VERSE: PROVERBS 12:19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 

Many believers engage in lies and corrupt speech, including reputable ministers of the gospel. Imagine these people you honor and wish to be among them, you now see some imperfection, lies, anger among them, then, their glory is destroyed. 

Be perfect because you are the eye of people. Isaiah showed you his own case that as a minister, a prophet, he had unclean lips. But the Lord sanctified him. So, you too, the Lord will sanctify you. 

Another person was Abraham. God chose him and made great promises to him, but he became afraid of death to the point of lying that his wife was his sister. Workers, ministers of the gospel speaking lies! Oh, Jesus, destroy it in their lives. Let the blood of Jesus purge it out of their lives. 

See Sarah, lying between her and God! She said God was not telling the truth; to defend herself. This self-defense is terrible to the point that she denied the revelations and the voice of God on her it. No, I did not lie; I did not say it like that. God said, ‘By this time next year, Sarah shall embrace a son.’ 

And Sarah laughed! ‘Why is Sarah laughing saying, can an old woman like me and an old man like Abraham give birth to a child? Why is Sarah saying so? I am God. Is there anything too difficult for me?’ Instead of Sarah to keep quiet, that thing that moves people to tell lies moved her. Come, Sarah, why did you not keep quiet? It is the power of lie, the inbred sin.

Adamic nature, even when you have come to God, even when you have been given a prominent position, it is still making you to tell lies. ‘No, I did not say so.’ Who told you that you should speak? Self-justification! The Lord said, No, you said so. 

Sarah was convicted. Without conviction, how will your sins be forgiven? This thing that you are always denying, how will your sins be forgiven? How can you then be cleansed?

Thought for the day: An unsanctified tongue will destroy your glory 

Song for the day: Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to Thee

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 25-27

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...
