TOPIC: ENHANCE YOUR VALUE THROUGH VOCATIONAL TRAINING 

TEXT: GENESIS 14:14-16
14. And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
15. And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16. And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

KEY VERSE: PSALM 144:1 Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. 

Vocational training has to do with imparting and acquiring specific skills relevant for specific occupations. The training a would-be gospel instrumentalist needs is different from that of a prospective furniture maker. What needs to be imparted in a person to make him or her an electrician is not the same with that of a hairdresser or barber. 

Different occupations require different trainings. Occupations are products of vocational training. It helps to acquire skill which gives birth to occupation. Apostle Paul, Aquila and Priscilla were of the same craft called tent making (Acts 18:1-3). They did not just wake up one day and began to make tents. 

They would have gone through a period of training to acquire the technique to do this. What they trained to do became their valued occupation. They earned their living from it. Sidonians were well known in the days of king Solomon as professional hewers of timbers. 

When Solomon wanted to build the first temple, he couldn’t find any good hewer of timber among the children of Israel like the Sidonians. He hired through their king, these professionals and paid them whatever amount their king charged him.  A talented hairdresser can be known through her skilful dressing of hair. She will pull a crowd of customers.

King David organized training for the children of Judah on how to use weapons of war. He testified of the training that God did for him that made him a skilful warrior. Employers of labour are looking for trained hands with viable skills. 

Despite the love Pharaoh had for Joseph, he asked of his brothers’ occupation before he told Joseph to employ profitable ones among them to supervise the grazing of his cattle. Utilize that vocational training opportunities around you to be a technician.  You can learn to sow clothes or become a celebrated drycleaner. Enhance your value today.

Thought for the day: Earning quality living answers to quality service.

Song for the day: My life shall be a testimony...
    
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 41-43

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...

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.  13.

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...
