Beware Of The Temptation Of Money

Sunday 21st June 

Text:  1 Corinthians 10:12-13 
Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 
Be wise, money has limited power and a limited lifespan. Beware, money is not eternal. Beware, there is a time when you will not need it. Beware of money and the use of money. The most important duty of money in your life is food and clothing. (1 Timothy 6:8).  In fact, the Bible did not include housing, because you can sleep in a hotel without building one. So, that is not the most important thing in your life. You must wear clothes and eat food. These are the two major things money is needed for. But the temptations of money are many. A poor man who is a child of God can still be tempted with money (Proverbs 30:8,9). Even you, may be tempted by the matters of money many times before you die, or before the rapture.
Exposure to another person’s money is enough temptation. A young man visited his friend’s house in love and peace. His friend left a bundle of money on the table and went to do something in the bedroom. Then, the devil came to him and said, “Do you know that this problem in your life and that other problem can be easily solved if you pick this money? Your friend will not know because he has not confirmed the amount of the money. Help yourself with some it!” He gently said, “No, I will not do that.” Initially, he thought it was a joke. But the devil persisted strongly, “You can take this money to help yourself!” Knowing that the devil meant business to make him do what would destroy him, he shouted, “No, I will not take it!” His friend heard him from inside the bedroom and asked, “Friend, what is happening there?” He replied, “Can you imagine the devil telling me to steal your money? I should come to your house and become a thief?” Although, it looked humorous and embarrassing, he saved himself from Satan’s temptation to sin and eternal death. But if you have fallen by the devil’s temptation, you have to confess to God and to the right person that you cheated, in order to regain your true righteousness.

Thought for today: Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Song for today: I will never let the devil win the battle

Bible reading for the day: Psalms 95-103

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...
