God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Testimony Of God’s Call By Pastor Paul Rika (Part 1) Friday 1st May Text: Jeremiah 1:4-8 Key Verse: Psalms 25:9 “The meek will He guide in judgement, and the meek will He teach His way.” When I got born again, the zeal was heavy upon my life. I had finished my primary school at that time. I told God, “Lord, if You help me to be able to read and write, that is, if You help me pass through education, I am going to preach Your word.” In 1984, I was praying at night in an open field, a football field. I was in the College of Preliminary Studies at that time. As I was praying, I saw myself entering into a Divine presence, and I went into a covenant and said, “Lord, I am going to preach Your word all over the world after my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) assignment.”  I was asked a question, “In which way? Part-time or full-time?” (Part-time means that you will be doing secular work while preaching. T...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies  Priscilla’s Christian Qualities Thursday 30th April  Text: Acts 18: 1-3 Key verse: Proverb 13:20. “He that walketh with the wise man shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed” Priscilla was a daughter of God and the wife of Aquila. Paul got attracted to them and stayed with them because they were into the same profession of tent-making. That was a great privilege to Aquila’s household. To be effective and fruitful in the Christian life and ministry, you should learn from those the Lord has advanced, who have proven testimonies of holy Christian life and ministry. People should take advantage of the truth that comes out of these ministers of the gospel, in order to be blessed. It will be miserable for one to be married to a true minister of God and yet miss the privilege of entering Heaven. Priscilla remains a good example. She allowed herself to be mentored by Apostle Paul when...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies The Beauty Of Planning Wednesday 29th April  Text: Luke 14:28-32 Key Verse: Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterward build thine house. Proverbs 24:27 A plan is a set of intended actions, having the same relationship, through which one expects to achieve a goal. Planning gives the planner a clearer view and understanding of what it takes to achieve his goal; how to achieve it and when to achieve it. Creation of the earth is an expression of a beautiful plan by the only wise God. In divine plan, in order to have Night and Day, He first created darkness and light. He called the darkness ‘Night’ and the light ‘Day’. God created grasses, herbs and trees after He created the earth from where they will grow. In the same way, God created water before He created fishes. The beauty of planning! He that fails to plan has planned to fail; he has signed for the degrading ...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Believers’ Victory Over Temptations, Persecutions And Sufferings Tuesday 28th April  Text: Matthew 5: 9-12 Key Verse: Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all Psalms 34: 19. Temptation is that which entices one to act contrary to the will of God. The mission of temptation is to make the believer commit sin and suffer the penalty of sin in hell. The devil is the tempter, and his target is the believer. It is not a sin to be tempted, but it is however, a sin to yield to temptation. Jesus instructed believers to watch and pray to avoid being victims of temptation (Mathew 26:41). King Solomon advised, “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not (Proverbs 1:10).” The Philistines promised to reward Delilah handsomely if she could entice Sampson to disclose the source of his strength. Sampson could not withstand the temptation and became a victim of his we...

The Wife As A Servant To Her Husband In Marriage (Part 2)  Monday 27th April  Text: Colossians 3:18-25   Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.  Do Unto Him As Unto The Lord: Do whatever you must do for your husband as unto the Lord. Though he may not deserve it, God deserves it. Do it to him, for God’s sake. Let God know you are righteous, and He will reward you. I know of a woman, a government worker, whose husband abandoned. He deserted the marriage to marry another woman, leaving the woman and their children for about twelve years. Then, the husband encountered Jesus, repented, sent away the second woman and returned to his wife. He knelt before his wi...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies The Wife As A Servant To Her Husband In Marriage (Part 1)  Sunday 26th April  Text: Colossians 3:18-25   Key Verse: 1 Peter 4:8- And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.  Sarah called her husband ‘lord’, and you are a daughter of Sarah, with all humility if you act like her. How do you rate yourself now? “Servants, obey in all things your master according to the flesh.” You do not have to discriminate. Your master may not yet know Christ. You must obey God’s command; to obey your master as a servant. Your husband may not be in Christ, but he is your husband and master. Obey him as God commands. It is the right thing to do, and God will be glorified.  Live With Him, Not With Eye-Service: Let God also know that you sincerely love your husband. A story was told of a wicked man who died in a community and a man in ...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Jezebel's Atrocities In Israel Saturday 25th April Text: 1 KINGS 16: 29-30-34 Key Verse: "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication." Revelation 17:4 Sin and evil grew worse in Israel during King Ahab's reign. People were bold in their defiance toward God, and His commands meant little to them, but the worship of Baal increased. Baal was worshipped by the Canaanites as the god of fertility, rain and vegetation. The worship of Baal included the evil practices of cult, prostitution, and child sacrifice. Jezebel's devotion to Baal made her commit a lot of atrocities in Israel. God sent prophet Elijah, whose powerful expression of faith and divine victories over the prophets of Baal was followed by great fear and discouragement bec...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Testimony Of Sister Eva Anab: Necessity Of Sound Scriptural Conviction Friday 24th April Text: 2 Peter 1: 19-21 Key Verse: Luke 17:32 Remember Lot's wife I am Sister Eva Awenle Anab, from Lapaz unit, Accra, Ghana. God led me to HOREMOW through a series of dreams and events. While in secondary school I loved the dressing of Deeper Life sisters, and I attended retreat programs occasionally, although I was a Methodist. I was just so happy the way pastor Kumuyi preached and taught about sanctification and holiness. I learned a lot from them; how to live holy day to day. I followed their teachings because I loved their lifestyle. I did not know why they do not wear earrings, but I joined them in not wearing it. The teachings helped me to walk in purity. I practiced it with all my heart. Concerning adornment, I had no scriptural understanding. So, when I later got married, I went back to wearing them. ...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Effective Methods Of Soul-Winning (Part 1)   Wednesday 22nd April  Text: Isaiah 48:17-19 Key Verse: Romans 8: 14; For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.   The following are some methods of souls winning to which can be rightly applied to win soul to Christ. The methods listed here are not exhaustive. The source of wisdom and instruction is the Holy Spirit and He will guide you to the right methods for every case. 1. Personal Evangelism: It is ever the way of getting people to Christ. Go out and talk to people personally. Go out and minister to people. As people come to you, always say a word of the gospel. I am talking to passionate soul winners, sons and daughters of the living God who know that God left them in this world for the purpose of shining as light and showing people the way to Jesus. Andrew heard Jesus and spake to his brother Simon, say...

Now That You Have Repented, Your Case Shall Be Different Tuesday 21st April  Text: 2 Kings 22: 11-20 Key Verse: 2 Chronicles 33:6 “And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.”  The situation in Israel was so deteriorated to the level that there was no perfect knowledge of God, and sin took over the whole place. A book of the law was hidden by the kings before; may be due to their backsliding. The book was found in the time of King Josiah, and they read it before him. When he heard the content, he rent his clothes because his eyes were opened to the imminent judgment of God. It is like one being born again without sanctification and now hearing the doctrine clearl...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Seek Counsel For Your Marriage Decisions Sunday 19th April  Text: Proverbs 2:1-7 Key Verse: Ruth 3:1,5 “Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee? 5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.”  There are many people who live their lives without seeking counsel or advice. The Bible says that where there is no counsel, the people fall. How can you live your life without seeking guidance, without asking others if you are right, or if doing things a certain way will yield good results? It seems you do not concern yourself with these matters. Seek counsel and good advice for wise decision.  Some people believe that the woman they wish to marry must be a graduate or come from a specific tribe or have certain characteristics. They may think, “I cannot marry from this place because the women there are t...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Sinful Men Have Corrupted Burial Ceremony Saturday 18th April  Text: Isaiah 1:1- 4 Key Verse: Isaiah 1:4 “Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord they have provoked the holy one of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.” Many have missed what God ordains burial ceremony to be and to achieve in the hearts of men. God says, “It is the house of mourning.” God expects people to go there to cry and mourn but today, culture, custom, tradition and churches have turned burial ceremony into feasting. It is a house to go in with sorrow and sober reflection. You are to go to burial ceremony with these questions:  Did he make it to heaven?  Where is his soul now?  Did he live righteous and holy in this world before his death?  If he died in his sins, he is not with God now, but in hell fire. Anothe...

Significance Of The Holy Communion  Friday 17th April  Text: 1 Corinthians 11:23-30  Key Verse: John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments. Holy communion, also called the Lord's supper, is a rite Jesus instituted His followers to observe often, in remembrance of His sacrificial death for                                                                                                                                                                              ...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Be A Man Of Vision Will Fulfil Divine Purpose In Life Thursday 16th April  Text: Colossians 1:28-29 Key Verse: Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.  Vision could refer to a supernatural revelation through dreams, trance or religious ecstasy. Another definition of vision is a picture or idea you have in your mind of yourself, your business or anything that is going to happen. Whichever definition you are looking at, one thing that is clear is that a vision positions you for the future. A vision helps you to navigate life better.  In today’s reading text, Paul had a clear vision of his ministry, and he pursued it to the end.  The greatest tragedy in life is not death but life without a purpose or a vision. To live a purposeless or visionless life is to reduce yourself to any inanimate object, like a stone or wood. Those who...

Do Not Question God’s Ways  Wednesday 15th Text: Romans 9:20-21 Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. Do not question God’s right to do His will in His own way, neither put Him under suspicious scrutiny, because it is a serious offense to do so. Man should not demand explanations from God on how He operates His vineyard. Rather, humility and prayers will yield pleasant results. Do not compare Pastor Paul Rika, the holy man that God has chosen with unrighteous and self-seeking pastors that arrogate boisterous titles to themselves. Do not reject scriptural explanations and clear convictions from the Holy Ghost on this matter, because you prefer to argue and disbelieve the message in your ignorance. Have you prayed to ask God if the reasoning and re...

The Ministry Of A Faithful Widow Monday 13th April  Text: Luke 2:36,38 Key Verse: Colossians 4:17 “And say to Archippus, take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” Christian ministry is a service God uses a person to render to Himself and to men. Such service glorifies God and edifies men. When it is rendered by the will of God, the individual has received grace for such ministry. In scripture, widows enjoyed the grace for ministry by the mercy of God. Anna had a ministry of fasting and prayers; fasting is abstinence from food for a period of time in order to seek God’s face and make Him solve problems. The widow must give herself regularly to this in order to: i. Keep herself pure and holy inwardly and outwardly by the help of God. ii. Receive regular supply from God to meet her daily needs iii. Fight and win over enemies in the battles of life. iv. Receiv...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Supporting The Great Commission Materially Sunday 12th April  Text: Matthew 10: 1- 8 Key Verse: Mark 16:15. “And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” What humanity needs can be obtained through the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel contains the full package of eternal life. God has given us all things for life and godliness in Christ. What is required is to carry out the gospel to all men in all places, using all means, that all might be saved. This requires money and material resources. The followings are required for the success of the great commission: Lands, buildings, machines, vehicles, equipment, electronics, etc. Besides the above, money is required for the following needs, Maintenance of gospel preachers, workers’ salaries and wages, payment of rent, bills, crusades, retreats, and other gospel programs; capital projects for gospel advantage;...

Gods blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies King Solomon’s Intelligent Qualities Saturday 11th April  Text: 1 King 1: 28-35 Key Verse: Psalms 90: 12. “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” Solomon was made king over Israel after his father, King David, was about to die. King David gave instructions to Solomon to be strong and show himself as a man. He further instructed him to keep the charge of the Lord God, to walk in His ways, keep His statutes, commandments, judgments and His Testimonies, as it is written in the law. By so doing, the Lord will fulfil the promise He made to Solomon’s father, David. How many parents train their children this way? King Solomon walked in the statutes of his father, David and loved God. This love made him sacrifice a thousand burnt costly sacrifice unto the Lord, at Gibeon. This sacrifice gladdened the heart of God and He appeared to Solomon in a dream by night and said, “Ask ...

The Love Of Money Will Drown You Into Destruction And Perdition Friday 10th April  Text:  1 Timothy 6: 6-9 Key Verse: 1 Timothy 6:6 “But Godliness with contentment is great gain” Let me tell you a story about a young man who was a member of Deeper Life Bible Church, in the 1990s or so. He went to consult with some people because he needed money, they cut his fingernails and toes nails and told him, “You will get the money.” He was taken to the riverside where they threw these nails into the river; “Wooooooo!” was a noise of applause from the river. This was a noise of welcome to witchcraft and mermaid kingdom. They gave him a woman to be a wife to him. He was a married man physically, but this second woman went with him everywhere. In the night, he will carry bags of money home, and the original wife would say, “Hey! I am afraid of this money.” Bags of money, but no life, no peace, no rest, day...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Experience Of Sanctification For Believers Thursday 9th April  Text: Ephesians 5:25-27 Key Verse: Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Psalms 51:5-7 It is commonplace for a believer growing in Christ to have inner struggle with envy, malice, anger, pride, stubbornness, lust, and inner moral weakness, which oftentimes defile him to his embarrassment and sorrow before God and man. The believer is not seen committing sin outwardly. He shows forth clear evidence of salvation from sin. The Spirit bears witness in his heart that he is a child of God, but he notices inner impurity that challenges his total freedom. These are called, Remains of sin, inbred sin or the adamic nature in the believer.” Something needs to be done to usher him into fullness of ...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Hold Fast To Bible Truths Wednesday 8th April  Text: Ezekiel 33:12-13 Key verse: 1 Timothy 4:15-16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. Was Timothy not yet born again at this time? He was already born again, but he needed to carefully practice and teach true biblical doctrines in order to save himself and those that hear him. Are you aware that the salvation you have received now can be lost? Be not deceived by the false teaching that when you are saved, you cannot lose your salvation in Christ, whether you continue in His righteousness or not. This is satanic doctrine! You must be diligent to maintain this free gift of salvation you have to the end, through obedience to the entire Word of God, in order to gain the final (eternal) salvation at death or Christ's return. “That ye may be blameless an...

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.  KEY VERSE: EPHESIANS 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Do not entangle yourself in affairs that have no contribution to your spiritual life, that will not help you achieve your goal in Christ. It could be in conversation. If while talking with somebody you discover that it is taking too long, you can decide to stop. By so doing, you are cultivating the art of self-discipline.  The time you saved will play well on your spiritual life. Instead of spending time in vain visitation, you can d...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Change Your Thoughts In Christ Text: Luke 15: 11-18 Monday 6th April  Key Verse: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2). A man is a product of the predominant thought of his heart. Through imagination, he can do the unimaginable. The construction of the tower of Babel began with thought, followed by corresponding action. When God came down to see the building, He said, “Nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Your thought is very powerful, and it produces your attitude towards a thing, a person or a place. While you were growing up as a child, you were told that a particular place was an evil forest where nobody enters and comes out alive. You grew up with this mentality and the phobia that went along with the place. The day you saw...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies The Activities Of The Antichrist During The Great Tribulation Saturday 4th April  Text: Revelation 13:1-10 Key Verse: Daniel 8:24 “And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.” Immediately after the rapture of the saints, there shall be great tribulation period for seven years. It shall be a period of practical reign of Satan through the Antichrist, the man of sin. He wins some nations by war, while others concede authority to him. The false prophets popularise him, making men worship even his Image. No one will buy or sell without the mark or number (666) of the beast. While these are happening, saints will be receiving rewards in heaven. There will be a great apostasy, more of false religions and an increase in the power of the devil, who was driven down to the earth. The ...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies Renounce Evil Covenant With The Devil Friday 4th April  Text: Philippians 2:9-11 Key Verse: Isaiah 8:10 “Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for G Coxod is with us.” While some parents dedicate their children to God even before they are formed, as they are being formed in the womb, as soon as they are born, or at various stages in their youthful life; some ungodly parents dedicate their children to the devil and to idols. It will be very unfortunate if you have been dedicated to idols. Your mother might have gone to visit a witch doctor and promised him saying, “If I can become pregnant and give birth to a child, I will dedicate him/her to you, and he/she will serve the devil.” Your mother could have made that statement.  On the other hand, could it be that your father belonged to the occult who registered your name there, and told them tha...

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. As A Child Of Promise, Don’t Disappoint God Thursday 2nd April  Text: 1 Samuel 1:9-20 Key Verse: Titus 1:9 “Holding fast the faithful word as he had been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.” God knows those who are His, and He watches over them even as they are young and growing up. We can see in our text that Samuel was a child of promise. His mother got him through her fervent prayer to God. There was a covenant between Hannah and God: that if God would remember her and give her a man-child, she would give him unto the Lord all the days of his life. Many parents made this type of agreement with God, maybe as a result of a delay in childbearing. Some others, as they got born again and became Christians, said, “Every one of our children shall be committed unto the Lord,” and so dedicated them to the Lord in the church. People witnessed it and ...
