HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW
DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR.
DATE: THURSDAY OCTOBER 22, 2026.
TOPIC: BE CARING, LOVING AND CURTAIL INFORMATION FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN MARRIAGE.
TEXT: 1 PETER 3:1-2
1. “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
2. While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.”
KEY VERSE: MICAH 7:5-6-Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Be loving and caring because it is healing. Love your enemies. You might, by love, convert your enemies. This is an unbelieving husband; your character towards him can convert him. He might not bother to appreciate your character, but you have given God something to work upon and draw him to Himself.
Man, love your wife, care for her, though she may be stubborn. God is your witness. He will favour you, comfort you, fight for you, justify and rapture you because He knows you are keeping His word.
Because your spouse is not born again, learn to control what information you share with them. There is truth, and there is wisdom. Truth is eternal, and wisdom greases truth so that truth can be acted upon without causing injury. It would help if you act on the truth, but you need the wisdom to lubricate that truth to make it move peacefully and smoothly.
Like Abigail (1 Samuel 25), know when it is appropriate or not to talk, to share sensitive information with your spouse. When she saw that Nabal, her husband was drunk, she waited until morning when he would be sober to talk to him. So, learn to curtail and control what you say to your unbelieving or backslidden spouse.
Thought for the day: You can win your spouse by demonstration of love and quietude of your lips.
Song for the day: Sing hallelujah amen(4x)…
Bible reading for the day: Luke 3-4
