TOPIC: BEWARE WHO YOU FOLLOW AS YOUR SPIRITUAL MENTOR 

TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 2:17-18
17. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenæus and Philetus; 
18. Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 

KEY VERSE: ACTS  17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 

When these mighty men and women are in error, all others make a shipwreck of their faith. Many young ministers and ministries seek mentorship from established ministers and ministries. The unfortunate thing is that many of these young ministers do not examine the scriptures for themselves. They do not subject their mentors to the scrutiny of the scriptures. 

The yardstick of their judgment is success and prosperity, multiplied membership and global establishment. They follow these mentors blindly and ruin themselves and those they lead. We must beware because we are in an era in which many go to acquire power from Satan to operate the Christian ministry!, I Timothy 5:15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. 

The yardstick of measuring every minister to know whether he is of God or no is a personal life of righteousness and holiness. Success in ministry is measured by a consistent life of holiness and righteousness together with abounding fruits of Christian service, begotten and established in holiness and righteousness. Without holiness, the Christian life and service, ministerial success and achievements are vanities and a vexation of the spirit. 

Dwelling with God eternally is the supreme goal of the believer, and only righteousness and holiness qualify for this. Stop being a blind follower if you want to go to heaven. Follow a professed minister of God as long as he follows Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Seek the truth to be free from error that will jeopardise your Christian life. Avoid false and heretic preachers. 

Thought Forthe day:  Test all spirits. Don’t follow any pastor to hell.

Song For the day: Follow, follow, I will follow Jesus, anywhere He leads me I will follow Him.

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 4-5

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 PRAY

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: WEDNESDAY JULY 15, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO PRAY  TEXT: JOHN 14:12-14 12. 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. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it.

Whatsoever you shall ask in My name, it shall be given unto you. Whatever resources you need for the work of God, ask and I will supply the materials and resources you need to do the work; to live the Christian life; to make you evangelize and be fruitful in life.  Ask for what you need to make you a better Christ...

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...
