Falling Down Under Anointing   Friday 1st August Text: Galatians 2:1, 2  Key verse: Matthew 21:23 And when He was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto Him as He was teaching, and said, By what authority doest Thou do these things? and who gave Thee this authority?  Falling under anointing is considered to be the sudden fall or collapse of a man or woman who comes in contact with the power of God. Such a person falls unconsciously and regains consciousness almost immediately or remains in that state for a period of time. Most often the falling under anointing we see today occurs during Christian worship, ministration and demonstration of the gifts of the Holy Spirit by some men of God. Many in Christendom wonder at the origin of this spiritual manifestation that has become so rampant today. They question the scriptural authority of the ministers wh...

The Place of Handkerchiefs and Aprons in Gospel Miracles  Thursday 31 July Text: Acts 19: 11-12  Key verse: Acts 19:11 “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul.” Miracles are acts or events occurring by supernatural power. The power behind such acts or events lies beyond the realm of man. Miracles can happen by the power of God or by the power of Satan. The miracles that accompany the pure word of God and the true gospel of Christ are believed to be from the Holy Spirit. Common miracles accompanying the gospel include healing for the sick, restoration of sight to the blind, opening of deaf ears, the dumb speaking, raising the dead, casting out devils and many other spectacular manifestations in response to prayer and decree of faith. There are general ways in which God performs miracles in the ministry of His servants. There are common miracles and there are uncommon miracles.  C...

Spiritual Gifts are Manifested for Edification of the Church Wednesday 30th July Text: 1 Corinthians 12:7-11  Key verse: Acts 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. God has given spiritual gifts to believers in the body of Christ for the purpose of edifying one another. The local church in the apostolic time provided opportunity for the manifestation of these gifts to the glory of God. Through the gift of healing, the sick ones were healed and the oppressed delivered. The gifts of faith and miracles were also in operation to glorify God in the worship service. Other gifts such as the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, prophecy, discerning of spirit, diverse kinds of tongues and interpretation of tongues had their place in the worship service for the edification of believers.  These gifts manifested in the church by the will of God and did not n...

Evangelism Is Every Believer's Ministry   Sunday 27th July Text: Mark 16:15, 16 Key verse: Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.  Matthew 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.  The Lord commissioned His disciple to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He gave them the task of evangelism. Believers' evangelism must be with purpose, to make converts or disciples where ever this gospel is preached. The Lord's instruction is that those who have believed in Him through the gospel shou...

The Lord’s Supper   Friday 25th July Text: Luke 22: 17-20 Key verse: 1 Corinthians 11: 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till He come.  The Lord Jesus Christ instituted the Lord's super and commanded that His disciples should keep on observing it until He returns. The bread represented His body that was offered on the cross for the salvation of humanity. The cup represented His blood that was shed for the forgiveness of sins of all who believe on Him. Immediately after the Pentecost, when the believers began to assemble for worship, the church began the observance of the Lord's super. This was observed daily as their meeting was daily. Later we saw that in the church at Ephesus the Lord's super was observed weekly, in the first day of the week when the brethren assembled for worship. In his letter to the Corinthian Church, Paul told the...

Singing Unto The Lord in Worship Services  Wednesday 23rd July Text: Ephesians 5:19, 20 Key verse: Psalms 119:7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments  Singing was one of the activities in the worship service of the early church. The apostle's instructions in the above passages may be put as follows: The believers should use psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to teach and admonish one another; the words of the songs sung should be understandable to the audience for their edification, exhortation and comfort; the songs sung should proceed from a heart that has experienced the grace of God in salvation and cleansing from sin; the melody of the song should be such as will make the heart joyful and edified.  Singing is an act of worship rendered to the Lord. Singing is a spiritual service to be rendered by those who are born of the spirit. Th...

The victory of Jesus over Satan is forever.  Tuesday 22nd July  Text: Ephesians 1:17-19  Key verse: John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. This victory belongs to us who have believed on Him. The following are the effects of this victory in the life of the believer.  A: He has been delivered from the power of darkness and has been translated into the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Satan is no more his master and lord. He is not subject to the laws and authority of Satan and his evil spirits. He no more lives under the fear of Satan. A higher authority has taken over his life. He has a new Master and Lord, Jesus Christ who has defeated Satan, set him free and made him free indeed.  B: Jesus has taken away every curse on the believer, being made a curse for him. Now in Christ the believer is free from personal curse, family curse, generation curse, triba...

Avoid Let My Enemy Die Type Of Prayer   Monday 21st July Text: Luke 9:52-56  Key verse: John 3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.  From today’s text, we see how for a flimsy matter, the followers of Jesus were ready to rain eternal destruction on the souls of men. Had these people been destroyed, the death of Christ would have been of no benefit to their lost souls. Why are you interested in cursing a human being God made in His image; in destroying eternal souls of men in everlasting hell; in depriving the souls of men from the privilege of repentance in this life? Should a man die because he affected your physical body, finances, or material things of this life? Many Christians and ministers of God decree evil upon the lives of men and rejoice when these come to pass, thinking God has justified their word and ...

Death and Life in the Power of the Tongue  Sunday 20th July  Text: Luke 9:52-56  Key verse: Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.   The Bible reveals that there is power in the tongue of every man. This is because man is made in the image of God. The tongue, mouth or word of God contains unthinkable power. The power in the tongue of man is of two kinds, the power of good and evil, blessing and cursing, life and death. The Bible shows that these two kinds of power are in the tongue of man. Man can invoke either of these by the use of his tongue and reap the reward of good or evil, blessing or cursing, life or death. Jesus reiterated this truth in the New Testament when He said that the word spoken by man can bring justification (blessing and life) or condemnation (curse and death) God knows the power of the ton...

Scriptural Approach to Testimonies of Deliverance.  Saturday 19th July Text: Mark 5:18-19  Key verse: Psalm 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.  There are those who were delivered from the power of darkness. They were once witches, wizards, occultists, spiritists that served Satan in his evil kingdom. God showed them mercy and through faith in Christ they were delivered. Many of these would desire to give the testimony of their salvation. This is right. However, those who share testimonies of deliverance from the power of Satan must avoid going into the depth of Satan. This is not encouraged by the scripture. They must not seek to go into details in their testimony and revelations. This caution is necessary to avoid damage to themselves and to those that hear them. If they go into in-depth revelation of what they think they know of Satan...

Topic: Angelic Visitation And The Voice Of Jesus To Pastor Paul Rika (3)  Friday 18th July Text: Philippians 1: 16 –17 Key verse: Isaiah 43: 19 Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth, shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.  A scroll was presented to me by the Angels The Angels brought out the scroll in their hands and said: We are here to give you the new plan of God. The Lord is going to do a new thing through you. As I beheld the scroll, it was shining, and had different maps of the world in it. They laid it in my hands and said, Paul, the Lord will connect you to someone. In fact, there are many places the Lord will connect you to which are outside Nigeria, hence, this scroll represents the new era of God. The position the Lord is going to give you, Paul, is so high, as a result, the Lord is passing you through various processes...

The Use of Prayer Books For Warfare Prayers  Wednesday July 16th  Text: Romans 8: 14, 26, 27 Key verse: Psalm 65:2 O Thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.  There are books written to teach the people of God on prayer, just as books are written to teach the people of God on faith, marriage, Christian giving etc. Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide has a well-known book to inspire prayer titled, ‘Prayer made simple for holy and righteous Christians.’ Prayer is a spiritual business with spiritual laws guiding it. God is the One that answers prayers and not a prayer machine. The prayer He answers is the one inspired by the Holy Spirit and flows from the heart, the innermost being of man.  There are prayer books that contain composed prayers to be used against enemies and to make personal decrees. Many go after these books which make prayer easy for them. When prayer is rea...

God Will Never Share His Glory With Anyone  Tuesday 15th July Text: Acts 12:21- 23  Key verse: Psalm 95: 3 “For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.” The pastor may be highly anointed and virtuous; the preachers, singers, and others may be so gifted, talented and saintly, but they should not be the focus of the worshippers. It is God who gave them the grace, wisdom, anointing, gifts, talents, and wealth. He is the One to be worshipped. God will not give His glory to another. Ministers in the church must not direct the people's hearts to themselves but to God. We can show appreciation to man for yielding himself to God so that divine grace and virtues pass through him to bless fellow men but praise and adoration should be given to God. Denominationalism has the evil tendency of hero worship which promotes the names of their ministers and churches and not the supremacy of the nam...

Praise, thanksgiving and Worship in the Psalms: Focus on God.  Text: Psalm 47:6, 7  Monday 14th July Key verse: Psalm 95: 1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. We must sing praises with understanding to God. Give God thanks and worship with understanding. This makes the praises and worship of God to be meaningful and pleasant; a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savor, acceptable by God. Praising and worshipping God with understanding entails that: 1. We know Who we praise, thank and worship. 2. We know why we praise, thank and worship Him. 3. We know what we praise, thank and worship Him for. 4. We know how to praise, thank and worship Him. 5. We know where to praise, thank and worship Him. 6. We know when to praise, thank and worship Him. 7. We know with whom to praise, thank and worship Him. This is worshipping God with understanding.  God...

Beware of Prevalent deviations in Contemporary Christian ministry  Sunday 13th July Text: 2 Corinthians 11:13-15   Key verse: Jer. 5: 31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?  There are numerous deviations in the Christian ministry in our day and these are of grave eternal consequences to multitudes of ignorant worshippers. The Lord has raised up Pastor Paul Rika and Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide to checkmate this by sounding an alarm to warn believers, ministers and ministries of this satanic device by presenting scripturally approved doctrines and teachings on the precepts and practice of true Christianity that leads to eternal life in heaven. This commission is faithfully pursued through numerous inspired publications, periodic international conferences and regular fellows...

Beware of Fake Christianity Orchestrated by Satan  Saturday 12th July Text: 2 Corinthians 11:3, 4  Key verse: Galatians 1:6 “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel”  Christianity is an open religion. Anyone can start a ministry, open a church and establish his set of beliefs. This accounts for the differences and diversities in Christianity. Any belief or practice that is not according to the pure truth of scripture has no light of life. Drift from the truth is prophesied of in scripture as a characteristic of the last days in which we live. Not only will the people drift from the truth, the Bible says they will imbibe doctrines and practices which are from the devil. We witness in our day great ministers and churches that have drifted from the truth. Some are practically teaching and practicing doctrines which have no root in...

I suffer much persecution for my zeal and commitment to the Revival of Righteousness and Holiness in the churches of Christ worldwide through God`s ministry - Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide. Hence, God sent His angels to strengthen and comfort me in the calling He has given me in His church in this end time. Our God is a Comforter We can understand from the above scripture that God is a comforter, because He knows what we suffer for Him. He knows the pains we are going through in life through the buffetings of the devil and satanic agents. This was evident in the case of Jesus Christ. God ...

God Speaks Through Spiritual Experiences  Sunday 6th July Text: Ezekiel 40:1-4 Key verse: Ezekiel 40: 2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as frame of a city by the south.  The word of God can also come through spiritual experiences such as taking one’s spirit elsewhere on earth, heaven or hell, to cause His mind to be known. The person is to declare the experience as the word of God: The Lord came to me, spoke to me, took my spirit to hell or heaven. The Lord showed me this or that and asked me to come back to the earth and tell people or the church. Why should you say, “No! Ours is the written word, we do not take it? You will lose many things and suffer because people perish for lack of knowledge. The church that refuses the full word of God will suffer backsliding because they will not get the things the Lord is doing ...

Holiness Gives Deliverance And Protection To The Righteous Saturday 5th July TEXT: Daniel 6: 16 – 26  Key verse: 1 Corinthians 4: 20 “For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.” Holiness gives deliverance and protection to the righteous from the schemes of men and wiles of the devil. By holiness you will be protected. Suppose Daniel was a hypocrite and only convinced this king that he was a man of God, will the prayer of the king be answered? No! God will not deliver a hypocrite. The king would have been confused. “Ah! God did not save this man despite the way he served God?” Many professing Christians confuse people and give a wrong image of God to people who are not aware of their hypocrisy and insincerity. You are not on the highway of holiness but you pretend to be and the people think really you are. When mishaps come upon you, they begin to wonder why. Why is God like that? But Daniel was...

The Trinity Of The Godhead Explained  Friday 4th July TEXT: 1 John 5: 7-9 Key verse: John 17: 3 “And this is life eternal; that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.” Receive Jesus. He is your God. He is your Creator. Besides Him, there is none else. You may say, “But there is God, the Father.” Yes. God is three in one just like man is three in one. Man has three components; spirit, soul, and body. God exists in three separate divine personalities, perfectly united as one God; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. These three are one as you are one person. So, the body without the spirit or soul is dead. If the body of a man dies physically, he no longer exists on earth. The Father is not greater than Jesus. The Holy spirit is not greater than Jesus. The Father is not greater than the Holy Spirit. As your soul is not greater than your spirit and yo...

Revelation of heaven and hell by Sister Linda; My deliverance from hell Thursday 3rd July Text: Revelation 21: 7-8  Key verse: Revelation 21: 7 “He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.” As I was crying and swimming in torments inside that fire and then, I just saw myself going up. I don’t know why Jesus loves me so much. Oh Father, I love You too, Jesus I have not done anything for God in my sinful life. I only go to church. I have never in my life evangelized. I don’t have time. Even going to church was for fashion, dancing and looking for friends. I don’t know what attracted Jesus to me. I saw myself going up but I thought I was going for another torture. I didn’t know what was carrying me up. No lift, no rope supporting me. Nobody was carrying me but the power of Jesus was taking me out of hell!  I saw myself coming up, leaving the people there ...

Revelation of heaven and hell by Sister Linda; Billions of souls languishing in hell Wednesday 2nd July Text: Deuteronomy 32: 18-24  Key verse: Jude 22 “And on some have compassion, making a difference.” As I entered hell, I knew I was Linda. I looked at my body; fire was all over my body. As I was pleading fire was coming out of my body. I landed in the fire. I thought that I was the only one going to that fire but as I landed on people. I realized there were billions of people there. I was shocked to see multitude of people crying and struggling in vain to come out. Fire has entered their bodies like when blood is flowing in your body. I saw the fire inside them as they cried and wailed. My senses and memory remained intact. The hatred that is in hell is dreadful. In hell people hate and fight each other. I checked myself and felt that since I have not killed anybody on earth, which sin that is so gre...
