A Call For God's Divine Presence

Monday 15th September 

Text: Isaiah 57: 15 - 18  
Key verse: Psalms 101 verse 2: “I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way, O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.” 
This is a call for God's divine presence, help and support in ministry. David needs wisdom and perfection to win the presence of God in his ministry. God is holy, who will sit with Him on high? Those that are of a contrite spirit, of a humble heart, of a holy heart and of righteousness. Such will be with God, the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous. David wanted God to be with him; and if God must be with him, wisdom and perfection is required. He must be wise so that he can be perfect; then he will gain the presence of God. Otherwise, you will be carrying out Christian leadership as a man running a chemist; or you will be running the Christian ministry like a vulcanizer that pumps the tyres of vehicles on the road side lives by it. 
God is with you as much as He is with the groundnut seller because the groundnut seller is trading and feeding people created by God and is making profit. You too are gathering people and reading the Bible to them to help some of them, and that is all. It is not that God has recognized you because there is no commitment in your life; there is no truth or righteousness in your ministry and service since the presence of God is not with you. In the Christian ministry, the principles you are adopting are lies and falsehood. Your foundation is out of course. You cannot expect the God of truth and justice to be with you in the ministry. 
Does God justify liars? If you want the presence of God, it is by Righteousness and Holiness and you need wisdom as you deal in leadership over the people of God, in the service of God. You need wisdom even in family leadership. You need wisdom to be perfect. The psalmist sees God also as the supplier of these virtues. “Oh God, I fix my heart on wisdom and perfection. Manifest them in my life, fill me with them, I need these in my life.” The leader of God's people does not know when the Lord will come or when he will die and so must be wise and perfect as to be ready at all times to meet the Lord, either by death or by rapture. You do not know when God will come or when you will die. 

Thought for the day: You need wisdom to be perfect. 

Song for the day: Lord, teach me Your word

Bible reading for the day: Hosea 5-9

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...
