Emulate Mary Who Raised Up Godly Preachers         

Sunday 13th April

Text: Matthew 13:53-56 
Key verse: James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. James 1:1
The Holy scriptures made us to understand that Mary gave birth to other children. According to today’s reading text, Jesus had four brothers and at least two sisters from Mary. This is to say, Mary had at least six children after Jesus. These children were born in sin like any other children. The coming of Jesus from Mary’s womb did not purify her womb from sin. All of these six children were sinners. They did not believe in Jesus Christ when He was in the world as a man. These children had a mother that should have made them serve God’s in holiness. Joseph might have died, leaving Mary with the children alone. It means six children were under her supervision. Her six children did not automatically give their lives to Christ. She must have worked on them. It is like being Pastor’s wife. It does not make you or your children to be holy. Mary, however, worked on her children and they became saved. So, work on your children by learning from Mary who became a disciple of her Son, Jesus Christ.
Mary brought her children to hear the bitter truth about hell. She wanted them to know that coming from the same womb with Jesus should not make them compare themselves with Him! God changed Mary’s six children and put His fear in them. James, a servant of God, was one of the sons of Mary. His eyes were opened to the truth of salvation in Christ Jesus. Jude was another son of Mary and also a brother to Jesus. Do we have mothers. Hannah vowed to raise up her son, Samuel in the fear of God. She dedicated her son to the Lord. Determine that you want to raise up your children to serve Jesus, and the LORD will help you. May the children that you raise up and teach, become great ministers of God in Jesus’ Name!
Thought of the day: May the Lord grant you the grace to raise up end time revivalists.

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...
