Decency and Orderliness in the Worship Service (1)

Tuesday 5th August

Text: 1 Corinthians 14:1-5 
Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order.”
This chapter gives us essential guidelines on worship activities and attitude in a Christian assembly. We will survey this chapter to see the spirit and attitude of Christian worship in the New Testament church. Follow after charity. The apostle presents love as the greatest quality in the Christian worship service. The worshippers convene in love to worship the God who loves them and saved their souls through the Lord Jesus Christ. They gather in adoring love, in the name of Jesus their Lord and Savior, to worship the Father by the Holy Spirit. The worshippers also love one another and by love serve and minister to one another. The apostle shows that the activities of the worship service must be characterized by love. Those who speak in tongues, prophecy, teach doctrine, preach and minister in the gifts of the Spirit to the assembly of believers, should do so in love. Service rendered in love edifies the body of Christ and glorifies the name of the Lord. 
Prophecy or prophesying is a gift of the Holy Spirit which manifested in the assembly of the early church. This gift still manifests in the assembly of believers today, who believe in and seek for the operation of the Spirit of prophecy among them. Prophecy is different from planed sermon presented by the preacher or teacher. It is one of the gifts of the Spirit. The gift of prophecy is the ability to receive instantaneously, a divine message previously unknown to the Spirit-filled believer, by the special operation of the Holy Spirit, for communication to an audience, for edification, exhortation and comfort. Prophecy brings to light hidden things and reveals the mind and plan of God. By this gift, the worshippers are warned, exhorted, assured and comforted. The local church or Assembly of believers should pray for the operation of the gift of prophecy among them and make provision for the manifestation of this gift in the worship service. Where those who possess the gift are many, all of them may not receive prophetic revelation in a worship service. Where many signify that they have received a message from the Lord, only two or three may minister in the worship service. Those who possess this gift should learn to control themselves and ensure that the flesh does not interfere with this noble gift.

Thought for the day: The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet.

Song for the day: O my soul, praise the Lord

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 6-8

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...
