God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies.

Promote Righteous And Holy Living Above Fasting  

Tuesday 7th October 

Text: Mark 11:22-24  
Key verse: James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 
Exalt the discipline of knowing God's word and obeying it above fasting. Exalt holy and righteous living above marathon fasts. Build a good prayer life. Develop your faith by studying the word of God. Know the promises of God and the testimonies of His power in the scriptures. Study the testimonies of His power in post Bible times and listen to the testimonies of His power in contemporary time. Your faith in God will be strong and you will enjoy answers to your prayers. Although the New Testament did not indicate by doctrine or practice the number of days fasting may be observed at a stretch, when you are persuaded to fast, be guided by the word of God, the Holy Spirit and proper judgment. 
When people engage themselves in fasting without the righteousness of God and proper scriptural guidance, they open their spirit to the manipulation of Satan and demons and may come up with revelations, experiences and spiritual manifestations assumed to be from the Holy Spirit, when actually they are from Satan. When the truth of scripture is abandoned or ignored for these fasting acquired revelations, spiritual manifestations and experiences, Satan gains access into the church of God and into human souls to do his destructive work. 
Unscriptural fasts have given birth to ministerial calling, church establishment and strange power which are the working of Satan. The art of fasting is abused in the church today by ministers, individual Christians and whole congregations who feel that that is the means of securing power, deliverance, victory, and the voice of God but when many of them are scripturally examined, they are in sin, error or ignorance. Promote righteousness and holiness in your life and in your church as a minister above fasting. Fast with moderation. Give yourself more to the word of God and prayer and you will enjoy the rich and victorious Christian life and ministry

Thought for the day: Exalt knowing and obeying God's word above fasting 

Song for the day: You have done me well (3x), Jesus

Bible reading for the day: Matthew 14-17

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...
