DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR.

DATE: FRIDAY AUGUST 21, 2026.

TOPIC: DILIGENT PERSUASION OF HOLY CHRISTIANS 

TEXT: MATTHEW 7:21-23
21. Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.
22. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works?.
23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.

KEY VERSE: 2 KINGS 5:13 And his servant came near, and spake unto him, and said, my father, if the prophet had bit thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

When Aquila and Priscilla saw Apollos preaching, they were happy because he preached zealously but after they listened, they discovered his ignorance. They called him and showed him the way of the Lord more perfectly and that was what made Apollos great. 

Do not leave ignorant preachers and believers that look sincere like that; give them materials to bring them to godly understanding. Sister, that your friend that is zealous and prophesies. Do you know whether the Holy Ghost is a true one? 

She gave a prophecy and it came to pass, but for that jewellery that is on her neck, for that wedding ring and the earrings she is wearing, she will never go to heaven. Make her your soul winning project! Persuade them to righteousness and holiness. 

There is a difference between divine call to service and entering heaven. Not all that serve the Lord will go to heaven. If you know this truth, then if you love that woman, take extra steps to see how you can perfect her, seeing she is already making effort. It requires wisdom and diligent persuasion.

In the same way, you must persuade your family members because tradition, deception and human pride have made man tough. It is by persuasion that some of them can be saved. When Elisha said to Naaman, "Go to river Jordan and dip yourself inside the water seven times and your leprosy will go". 

Naaman was not happy about it. He told his servants, "Let's go back". Naaman's servant went to him and persuaded him to obey the word of the prophet. The Bible said his body became clean like that of a child. The persuasion worked on him. 

Talk to your family members, relations, neighbours, friends, church members, fellow ministers. Persuade people from other religions to accept Jesus. Persuade ignorant ministers to become heaven bound preachers.

Thought for the day: Persuade people to Righteousness and Holiness.

Song for the day: Lord teach me Thy will…

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 51-52

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...
