Salvation Testimony Of Brother Joshua Okoji (Part 1)

Sunday 7th June 

Text: Luke 15: 11-16
Key Verse: Psalms 25:22 “Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.”
I was living a sinful life of smoking, partying and immorality, although, we had joined HOREMOW since 2014. I got used to the cry of Sister Linda. My parents have been preaching to me, but I felt that I was still a youth. Satan showed me many things I could achieve not knowing that the end of them is death. I visited a swimming pool one day with some friends and almost died in the water. They warned me not to go to a part of the pool because it was very deep but due to stubbornness, I said I had already paid. When I entered that part, I got drowned and started shouting for help, but no one cared. I feared greatly and thought that I would be going straight to hell? I pleaded for mercy and God rescued me through the caretaker of the pool.
I was a chain smoker, and I fell sick frequently because of excessive smoking. My parents usually carried me from one hospital to another for treatment but whenever I recovered, it is to continue smoking. The devil deceived me that there is joy in getting high with cigarettes and Indian hemp, but nothing compares to the joy and peace that Jesus gives. I attended chapter meetings due to pressure from my parents, but I was living in sin. At a point, without smoking I would not be able to eat food. 
My mother prayed continuously for my salvation, sometimes mentioning my name aloud while in prayers but I will shout at her not to call my name in her prayers. She remained calm and loving because after shouting at her, I would still go to her for money, and she would still give me. One fateful day, my mother called me by phone to come for the Bible study, because most times, I do not stay at home except when I wanted to collect something from them. I refused but later went. As Pastor Paul Rika was preaching, he said, “This may be your last chance. If you let Satan disconnect you from God, you will cry in hell forever.” I remembered my experience in that swimming pool and reasoned that if I go to hell there is no coming back.

Thought For The Day: Come to Jesus for salvation and deliverance

Song For The Day: Just as I am without one plea

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...
