HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW
DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR.
DATE: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 28, 2026.
TOPIC: SERVE GOD AND SUBMIT TO LEADERSHIP IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
TEXT: HEBREWS 13: 7
“Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.”
KEY VERSE: NUMBERS 3:9 And thou shall give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
We are serving God but we are doing so under a leader. It is the will of God that men serve under leaders. If you think you are too great to serve under a leader, you have missed divine plan. It is either you have not come to Christ or you have lost the grace you received.
Christ is humble. He was born in a humble place. Christ submitted Himself to be led by men for some time but you feel too big, too great and too high to submit. Note that going to heaven is a serious matter. Every minister that claims to have a ministry should consider this:
How do you know that you have a ministry? Have you understood the future of the ministry? It is not in a man that walketh to direct his steps; so be very careful that you don’t take over the direction of your ministry by yourself. You will not make it because man cannot lead himself. Allow God to lead you because there are many things about that ministry you don’t know.
The Lord is the One that has your ministry in His hand and directs it to wherever He wants. Be sensitive to know where God is leading you to. He is leading you on the path of righteousness for His name’s sake. He is more interested in righteousness than achievement.
Since He cherishes your holiness above your achievement, He guides you on the path of righteousness. Follow Him. Be sure you are not stubborn to divine guidance. Be sure you seek and know His mind well and follow Him as He has told you. As we see secular leaders, it is also required in the church that there should be spiritual leaders. Levites were servants in the temple serving God.
To serve the Lord, you must be clean. Be clean in your mouth; don’t be a liar. Be clean in your heart; don’t hate people, keep malice or bear grudges. Do not lust after men or women. Do not be proud in your heart. Lies and pride must depart from your life. The Lord will honour your service as you submit to Him and your leader.
Thought for the day: It pays to do whatever God tells you to do.
Song for the day: When He calls me, I will answer.
Bible reading for the day: Luke 16-18
