TOPIC: THE DAY OF THE LORD  

TEXT: LUKE 24:1-6 
1. Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 
4. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5. And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6. He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 

KEY VERSE: ACTS 20:7 “And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.” 

The observance of Sunday today, as a day of worship for Christians, is not a commandment of scripture but a tradition handed down from the Apostle and believers in the earthly church. Upon the first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.” (1 Corinthians 16:2). 

Since Jesus rose from death on the first day of the week, being Sunday, it was called the Lord’s Day. Christians' solemn day of rest and worship shifted from Sabbath Day in the law to Sunday. But today, we see that different days are adopted by various Christians bodies and societies as the day to be observed for rest and worship. 

These include Sunday, Saturday, and Friday. Those in Muslim communities see Friday as a free day to consecrate for rest and worship. Whichever day is chosen with satisfactory reasons and is consecrated for rest and worship and is acceptable by God, as long as the worship is in truth, righteousness, and holiness.  

Romans 14:5,6. “One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth everyday alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his mind. He that regarded the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regarded not the day of the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks.  

To worship on Saturday because it is the Sabbath Day and because it was commanded in the law of Moses is to display spiritual ignorance and darkness toward the true worship of God. Some are just being deceived by demons into this practice 

Thought for the day: Different days can be adopted as days of worship as long as it is done in righteousness and holiness. 

Song for the day: We are gathering together unto thee, unto the Lord, … 

Bible reading for the day: Luke 23-24

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 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...
