Do Not Cover Your Sin; Expose It 

Tuesday 20th May

Text:  Joshua 7:19-21
Key verse: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Proverbs 28:13.  
It is wrong to cover your sin purposely. To smile outwardly, while your heart is heavy inside; you cannot prosper that way. Someone told the story of a maid committing immorality with the man of God she worked for. This man of God eventually sought counsel. The person he sought counsel from asked him to preach against the sin of adultery as a way to be free from it. He did so, preaching openly on the pulpit, but sadly, continued in the immorality with the lady. His problem was not solved, because after confessing his sin, he did not proceed to forsake it. Sin should not just be confessed; it should be confessed and forsaken. Do not just confess sin; confess and forsake it, so that you will not be tempted to return to it. As you confess it, stop it and do not go to it anymore.  The reason you confess sin is to stop it, not to exhibit pride. You do not confess to others out of revenge. You confess out of guilt and condemnation, to become righteous so that it does not happen again. 
If you commit immorality with someone in secret, do you know that the person rejoices, because they have been able to strip you of the glory of God? Such persons share their experiences with others to feel good. So, it would be best to confess what you have done, so that as the truth spreads, you can say you are free. Go tell the woman you slept with that you have repented. Tell that man that you have repented, so that he would feel ashamed and know that when you sinned, you were at your weakest moment but have recovered yourself. If you are not revealing your sins, they will help you reveal it, but when you do so, you close the chapter. Your sins will find you out. Why wait for the great shame? You may speak it out unconsciously. Get it over immediately because sooner or later, it will spill shame and doom on your life. At the appropriate time, you will start embarrassing yourself. Confess and eradicate it before it finds a suitable opportunity to reveal itself.
Thought For The Day:  Confess your sin and forsake it.
Song For The Day:  Make me holy(3x) oh lord …
Bible Reading For The Day: Ezra 8-10

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...
