HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW
DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR.
DATE: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 21, 2026.
TOPIC: BELIEVE THAT YOUR WAYWARD CHILDREN WILL CHANGE
TEXT: ROMANS 4:17-22
17. “(as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
20. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21. And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.”
KEY VERSE: 2 CORINTHIANS 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.
Mary was a woman of faith. Whatever contrary behaviour she was seeing in her children never moved her. “I have tabled your case before the Lord, and as far as I'm concerned, that demon must bow! Witchcraft can never work in my child; occultism can never work in my child.
The fire of the Holy Ghost will burn them down! My child shall be free!” Your child shall be free! God will do it for you. He did it for Mary, but she worked. Arise and work! Two of her children, James and Jude, became great preachers and apostles and great writers of the Bible. We see the confession of those children when their eyes opened. The eyes of your children shall open!
One of the sons of Mary is greeting us. See James. 1:1. I bring greetings from one of the sons of Mary. But what did he say? He said he was a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was not worthy to call Jesus his brother, never! His eyes had opened. He had come to understand that it was the Lord Himself that was in their house. Mary knew it much earlier, but they did not. She laboured on them until their eyes got opened to know it too.
Jude, another son of Mary. See Jude 1:1-2. He wanted to connect himself to James, but not to Jesus, because Jesus was his Lord and Saviour. He could not connect himself to Jesus carnally, just because they came from the same womb. Give applause to Mary: what a wonder that she brought up these godly children! She laboured on them. Go and labour on your children.
Thought for the day: Never give up! Believe God for the salvation of your sinful children.
Song for the day: I have a Father, Almighty Father, He’s King of kings…
Bible reading for the day: Luke 1-2
