TOPIC: GET GOD'S DIRECTION CLEAR IN YOUR SPIRIT BEFORE YOU ACT. 

TEXT: 1 SAMUEL 30:7- 8, 18-19 
7. “And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. 
8. And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. 
18. And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 
19. And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.”

KEY VERSE: 1 SAMUEL 30:8 And David inquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? Shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue: for thou shall surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.  

Do not be too quick in making decisions that affect your life. You need to get a clear guidance from the Lord first. Develop your spirit so you can discern God’s plan for your life. You need to take enough time to pray until you have the Lord’s direction clear in your spirit. 

The trouble with some Christians is that when they receive direction about God’s plan for their lives, they mix that revelation with their own feelings and thought. They follow their thoughts and miss God’s mind on the matter. If the plan doesn’t turn out right, they get confused, wondering if they ever really heard from God. 

The only way you can keep that from happening is to remain in the presence of God to sift out your human emotions and thoughts and lay them on the altar before God. Then pray and meditate on the word until you hear from the Lord in your spirit and know what to do. 

Realize that God’s thoughts are higher than man’s thoughts ( Isaiah 55: 9) and it is in God’s word that you find His thoughts. That is why meditating and feeding constantly on God’s word renews your mind so your mind can come into agreement with your spirit. The voice that speaks to you in the word is the same voice that leads you by your spirit. 

Being in the word therefore sharpens your spiritual perception and ability to hear God’s voice in your own spirit. Waiting before the Lord in prayer and in study of the word are very important if you want to walk in God’s ways according to His thinking rather than according to your own natural reasoning. 

As you pray to get divine direction, be constantly alert in your spirit to hear what the Lord will say to you. King David’s diligent search for God’s marching order before fighting the Amalekites paid off with victory over them and recovery of all. 

Thought for the day: Be sure of God’s marching order before you act. 

Song for the day: My God will lead me; my God will guide me. 

Bible reading for the day: Luke 19-20

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...
