TOPIC: HOW GOD WANTS BELIEVERS TO TREAT WIDOWS  

TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 24:19-21
19. When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
20. When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 
21. When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.”

KEY VERSE: ISAIAH 1:17 “Learn to do well; seek judgment relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow”. 

God loves the widows and cares for them as a husband. His word teaches believers and the church how to treat widows, especially those committed to the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. Believers should remember the widows to treat them with love and honour and supply their needs, where required. 

It is God that is telling them to trust in Him for all their needs and in all their life. They should look to Him, call on Him, trust in Him and wait for Him. God instructed the children of Israel in the Old Testament to remember the widows during their harvest so that they may enter their farms after harvest to gleam for themselves.  

The tithe of the third year (a commandment in the law of Moses) which they were to use for themselves, they should remember to give a portion to the widows also. They were instructed to give to the fatherless and widows in the year of tithing so that they may eat and rejoice with them in the service of the Lord. 

Not to do so would be sin to them. This shows how much God cares for the under privileged and wants us to care for them. God wants His children to show compassion on the widows and help take up their cases to stand for them, defend and get justice for them; they have no man to do this for them. 

Be kind to the widows in your words and actions. Deal gently and lovingly with them. Give them good counsel and render help to the widows. Be kind to them always in obedience to the word of God and to the glory of His name. This will attract more blessings to your life. 

Believers who are close relations to Christian widows should take responsibility of caring for them to relieve the church from bearing their burden. This is expected of them in Christ. Those widows who are not living the holy life, but are backbiters and sinners should be rejected from the church care. 

Thought for the day: Honour widows that are widows indeed. 

Song for the day: Jesus show me the way, the way to Heaven. 

Bible reading for the day: Acts 4-5

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...
