Qualifications For Christian Ministers

Friday 15th May 

Text: 1 Timothy 3: 1-13
Key Verse: A Bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; (1 Timothy 3:2).
The gospel minister should have the following qualifications: 
Blamelessness:  Unlawful acts, masturbation, irresponsible living, falling and rising and lies in Ministry must not be mentioned on you. A Bishop must be blameless. 
Husband of one wife: Check the history of your workers and ministers to ascertain their marital status. When the blind leads the blind, you expect accident for both. In the early churches, letters were written to authenticate pastors before they were permitted to minister. Check the preachers you are inviting to be sure they are in Christ. Many of them have married before, divorced their wife and remarried.
Vigilance (watchfulness): Is the minister the type that is very careful about his life or he lives anyhow? Does he or she have the ability to teach? Check for self-control. He must not be given to wine; no covetousness or money-mongering. He should be of good character.
One That Teacheth Well His Own Household: Do pastors these days bother about their homes? Do they care about the behaviour of their family members? In Biblical standards, children and wives are the certificates of their husbands. “I know Abraham because he will command his children and household after Me.” If your husband is among the chosen 300 soldiers of Gideon, why are you trying to disqualify him?
Not A Novice: Many that receive divine revelations are now church founders and pastors. The man that repented last year is now your general overseer or senior pastor. Don’t give position to novice. They should learn under holiness preachers.
Must Have Good Report Among Them Who Are Without: Is Saul also among the Prophets? They knew Saul was not. Be somebody whom the people know and can vouch for. Let even the unbelievers testify that you are a genuine minister.

Thought For The Day: All God’s workers should meet God’s standard for the work.

Song For The Day: Stand up, stand up for Jesus…

Bible Reading For The Day: 2 Chronicles 29-31

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...
