TOPIC: WHAT NOT TO DO AGAINST WIDOWS 

TEXT: JEREMIAH 7:5-7
5. For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6. If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
7. Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

KEY VERSE: MATTHEW 23:14. “Woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!

For ye devour widow’s houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: Therefore, ye shall receive the greater damnation. To the children of Israel in the Old Testament, God gave commandments on what they should not do to the widows. The same obtains in our day: 

God prohibits us from doing evil against widows; of course, this warning concerns the true and faithful widows. Some widows involve themselves in evil life and practice and must reap what they sow. The Lord is warning men not to pervert the widows for their bodily satisfaction. 

People see the widows as women cheaply available for sex. Hence, they go to corrupt them and defile them before God. Many Christian widows become dead spiritually. Others take undue advantage over the widows in many areas. The Christian widow must resist evil firmly.

There are people that follow ungodly and have and tradition to oppress the widow by denying her the late husband’s benefits, savings or property. They carry the wealth of her late husband away for themselves and leave little or nothing at all for the widow and her children in the name of culture, such an ungodly culture. This is an oppression. 

Some will take over the widow’s personal property; they deny them their rights. This must not happen in the house of God. Believer’s, the godly relations and the church must oversee the Christian widows to ensure their welfare. Resist and preach against the culture. 

God uses men to show His love and care towards the widows. Allow yourself to be used by God to bless the widows. Not all widows need financial and material care. Some widows have enough wealth to live on; others are well cared for by their relations, while others are profitably employed. 

But there are widows that need help and these should not be neglected. However, all widows need spiritual care. The church should take responsibility of taking care of the widows spiritually. Pray for the widows that God should give them sufficient grace to practice truth, righteousness and holiness.

Thought for the day: There are many things to pray about for the widows.

Song for the day: I will love, I will love, I will love, I will love...

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 21-23

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...
