 EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 30,2023 TEXT: DANIEL 5: 24-28 24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. 25 And this is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. 26 This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 27 Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 28 Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. KEY VERSE: Daniel 5: 27 “TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.” Pastor Paul Rika began by saying, “The word of God says, “I rebuke the Methodist Church. You are out of My way. I am about to spue you out of My mouth. I hear the sound of your worship but I cannot see through to those worshipping because you are covered with darkness of sin and evil. Methodist, you are full of pride. If you really want to recover from your spiritual bankruptcy and wretchedness, I counsel you to associate yourselves with HOREMOW, where you will learn My true word for your righteousness and holiness. Don’t look down on HOREMOW. I raised this Ministry up this end time as a spiritual guide for all churches in the world. Many of your members, who have died came to realize this too late for themselves. If you refuse to humble yourselves to obey My instruction, your members alive today will also come to realize this when it is too late for them.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 29,2023 TEXT: DANIEL 5: 4-12 4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. 5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. 7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. 8 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. 9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied. 10 Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: 11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; 12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. KEY VERSE: 1 Thessalonians 5: 19 “Quench not the Spirit.” Pastor Paul Rika returned to Nigeria from a trip to Canada and U.S and was told that a member of Methodist Church, Sister Bester S. Michael, had an encounter with the Lord Jesus through near death experience during their Regional Women Conference held in United Methodist Church, Masaka, Nassarawa State, on 11 th -14 th May, 2017. She came back with many messages from the Lord. She demanded for a note book and wrote illegible, unknown and unreadable writing on it. According to her, the Lord Jesus told her in the encounter that no one in the world could read the writing, except Pastor Paul Rika. This incidence occurred in Daniel’s time (Daniel 5:5-13.) When I heard of this, I wondered how this could be done by me and I declared fasting and prayer with my leaders the next day, being Tuesday, the 23 rd of May, 2017, to hear from God about this issue, even as Daniel did. After our prayer and fasting, the Lord gave the following vision: Some people were assembled in a Church auditorium. A black board was set before them with the unreadable writing or message Jesus gave to the sister for the Methodist Church pasted on it. People were wondering how someone could read this writing and bring out the message. At this point Pastor Paul Rika came and began to read the writing and make the message known to the people.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 28,2023 TEXT: ACTS 4:18-20. 18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Key verse: Proverbs 11:14; “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” Question: If you have sensed the call of God through some signs but find it hard to get a sponsor since you are the bread winner of your family. So, by the time you spend a year or two on full-time, your family may not have anything to feed on. So, in this aspect as a father, I want to hear from you. Answer. If you sense the call of God, go to senior ministers for counsel; to check on you and direct you. You will have safety and your family will have safety but if you move on your own, you will fall. It will affect your family; it will affect your life and that is not the will of God. God has no will that your family should suffer because He says if you cannot feed your family, you are worse than an unbeliever. So, take enough counsel so that you know exactly how to do it. God has a way. Amen Question: If as a pastor the overseer doesn’t allow you to preach holiness, what will you do?  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 27,2023 TEXT: LUKE 8: 49-56 49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. Key verse: Psalm 107:20 He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions. My name is Sister Affi Susan Chris from Cross River state chapter. I thank God for the divine assignments given to us which has been a great blessing to me in particular. I joined HOREMOW since 2013. I have been doing the assignments quite alright but due to the nature of my job I have never been able to finish it; whenever I come back from work, I would be rushing to cook for my family and to prepare for fellowship activities. During a prayer retreat I attended in January in Port Harcourt, a coordinator while leading us in prayers, shared a revelation that the Lord gave to a sister concerning the HOREMOW assignments; that in a combined service, the angels of the Lord came with whips and were flogging everybody because we were not serious with the divine assignments.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 26,2023 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 diligently seek him. Key verse: Hebrews 11: 1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.” Question: If you have been hoping for something and you testify by faith that the Lord has done it, is it wrong? Answer: If you receive assurance by the Holy Spirit, you can share it; although I have not got it but it is done already. Let your audience understand your speech; that you have got it in your spirit so that when it manifests, they will understand. Tell them God has assured you and that you know it is done so that you can testify again when it materializes. You will then say, I told you; look at it now. The people will understand your testimony. Otherwise, if you say, I have got it already and later tell the people I have got it now, they may be wondering if you got it twice. They may not understand your testimony. I have got it by faith, and I am sure it is done so that when the substance comes, I will testify of the substance of my faith. 9/25/2023
SUNDRY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25,2023 TEXT: Acts 10: 9-15 9On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10and he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11and saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. Key verse: Acts 10: 15: And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. Question 1. Please clarify on the types of food to eat as stated in Leviticus 11: Answer: All animals are clean. You are to choose which one you want and this choice does not make you commit sin. It is not a sin against God except eating human flesh because God has not given that as food. Pray on all foods and eat; the Lord will bless it for you but all are already cleansed. The ceremonial laws no longer apply.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 24,2023 TEXT: ISAIAH 43: 1-7 1But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Key verse: 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Pastor Paul Rika pondered over the discovery, ‘God, so You have been the One guiding me all my life. You planned everything about my life! See when I was small, and when I was going to school. See my school!’ There were times that the arrow passed through difficulties and it would be clearly written, ‘Satanic temptations’ or ‘Satanic problems.’ I said. “Ah! This place that the arrow passed is dark and is written, ‘Satanic temptation’. 9/23/2023
LONG HAIR IS A GLORY TO THE WOMAN EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 23,2023 TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 11: 13-16 13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. Key verse: 1 Corinthians 11: 13 “Judge in yourselves, is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?” Question: I permed my hair when I was an unbeliever. Can I cut it off with razor or scissors for natural hair to grow and replace it? Answer: Now as regards whether women can cut their hair, the bible says the long hair is the glory to the woman. So, as we see in nature, if a woman cuts her hair and starts looking like a man, she loses the glory of a woman. Well, there is nothing wrong if a woman cuts her permed hair for natural growth but she should have it covered. If you have your hair covered where you are sitting, I wouldn’t know whether you cut it or not. You still maintain your glory because you have it properly covered but to leave your cut hair open in the street, you have lost your glory. The long hair is a glory to the woman. 9/22/2023
DO NOT REMOVE THE ANCIENT LANDMARKS EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 22,2023 TEXT: ROMANS 1: 24-26 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Key verse: Jeremiah 13: 23 “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.” Question: Someone with body odor knowing it is wrong to use perfume went to hospital and the doctor recommended the use of perfume. What is your advice, Sir? Answer: Will the body odor stop if he uses perfume? No. If your hair has fallen and the doctor recommends use of weave-on or wigs, will you comply? No. Some say that doctor recommended whisky for them while others say doctors recommend sex for them for back pain. What a great confusion to the word of God and the house of God. If you put on the weave-on as the doctor recommended and people see you doing this ungodliness will they know that it is the doctor that recommended it? If you are wearing this smell because doctors recommended perfume and your brethren are not wearing will you be carrying the doctor’s recommendation about? Find other ways; thorough bathing, continuous prayer and the matter will be over. This issue may be one out of a thousand people, so we will not use just a peculiar case to generalize the use of abominable things. So, use some natural ways. Some women that have tough hair use natural means and prayers to get the matter settled.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 21,2023 TEXT: PSALM 119: 1-6 Key verse: 1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. God wants to get people into Heaven. He wants to cause those who are married to make it to Heaven. If the husband is not ready for Heaven, the wife should be ready to make it to Heaven. If on the other hand the wife is not ready for Heaven, the husband should strive to make it to Heaven. To achieve this, God demands obedience to His word in marriage relationship. When you are married to a wife or a husband, God demands obedience to His word. Perfect obedience! The scriptures tell us that God expects perfection in the lives of His children. Do all things well, do not allow defilement into your life or in your walk with God. Do not allow lies in your speech or allow abusive and corrupt words to come out of your mouth. Walk in the way of God, walk in the word of God. You will be blessed when you keep the testimonies of the Lord; when you keep the commandments of God and when you become a testimony to others to promote the name of the Lord.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 20,2023 TEXT: LUKE 18:31-34 31Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. 32For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: 33and they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. 34And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. Key verse: 1 Peter 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled. Self-defense is a natural instinct. Sometimes it is impulsive. If you see something coming towards your eye or an object thrown at you, your response is to block it. It is indeed good to be protective of oneself but it is not all the time you have to do that. Sometimes you have to absorb insults and assaults of men as though you are vulnerable and weak. Jesus teaches that if you are struck on the right cheek, you should turn the other. This is not because you are weak or cannot fight back but to show your adversary that your weapon is not carnal. Jesus lived by what He taught.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 19,2023 TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 12: 5-7 5Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 6For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 7And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. Key verse: 2 Corinthians 12: 1 “It is not expedient for me to doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.” She said further, “Oh they are lucky that I have no power to appear among them physically now! I would have exposed the pretenders to let people know of their evils and wickedness. Tell your husband, when I came to heaven and saw the beauty of heaven, I asked the angel, ‘What qualified me for this place?’ The angel answered, “Because of what you came to believe, practice and teach in recent time. Your former Christian way of life was not worthy for your name to enter into the book of life” I know that I learnt this holiness of life from the teaching of Pastor Paul Rika through attaching myself to the books and messages of Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide.” 9/18/2023
THE FIRST SHALL BE THE LAST EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) MONDAY SEPTEMBER 18,2023 TEXT: MARK 9:43-48 43And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Key verse: Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. In today’s devotion, we shall see the reason why our Lord Jesus said, “the first shall be the last.” Below is an excerpt from the revelation of Jesus in the book titled: Escaping hell and entering heaven made simple. “Jesus, the two angels and I stood together. He pointed his hand to hell and said, “Man cannot understand the nature of the torments of hell, however, go and tell him. Tell him if all the sufferings on earth were gathered to be borne by one man, it would still not be compared to what man will suffer for 24 hours in hell. Yet man may not understand, go and still tell him”. In my third visit to heaven and hell, the Lord Jesus and the angels had welcomed me with a smile at the beautiful pearly gate. We all stood quietly at the gate. I saw that the smiling face of Jesus suddenly changed into a sad and sorrowful one. I wondered what could have been responsible for that. I understood the reason by the event that immediately followed.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 17,2023 TEXT: TITUS 2:11-12 11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Key verse: Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. If your car has no engine, how far can you go? The common denominator of the gospel message is holiness. Whichever church you belong to; without holiness no man shall see the Lord. Therefore, the gospel message simply talks about the holy God, who lives in a holy heaven, and sent His holy Son, Jesus Christ to the world, to redeem men from sin and death and make them holy, so that He may take them to His holy heaven, to live with the holy God forever. Holiness is what makes you a true Christian. The central message of the gospel is holiness.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 16,2023 TEXT: ISAIAH 41:1-15 1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. 2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. 3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. 4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he. 5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. 6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage. 7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. 8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. 9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. Key verse: Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. In Act 9:5, Jesus was telling Saul of Tarsus, “Your mission to quench My revival fire is an impossible task. You cannot stand My power and authority.” In like manner, the devil is doing everything possible to hinder the work of God in HOREMOW. He has raised individuals, congregations and authorities to fight this Movement. Great persecutions are building up against our brethren in diverse ways. There are physical assaults. Backslidden churches whose evils are being exposed are fighting back and discrediting our holiness messages. Notable Christian leaders are challenging the revelation experiences and messages being used by this Movement.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 15,2023 TEXT: 1 KING 1: 28-35 28Then king David answered and said, Call me Bath-sheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king. 29And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress, 30even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day. 31Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever. 32And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king. 33The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon: 34and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon. 35Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah. Key verse - Psalm 90: 12. “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” Solomon was made king over Israel after his father, King David, was about to die. King David gave instructions to Solomon to be strong and show himself as a man. He further instructed him to keep the charge of the Lord God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His judgments and His Testimonies, as it is written in the law; by so doing the Lord will fulfill the promise he made to his father, David. How many parents train their children this way? King Solomon walked in the statutes of his father David and loved God. This love made him sacrifice a - thousand burnt costly sacrifice unto the Lord, at Gibeon. This sacrifice gladdened the heart of God and He appeared to Solomon in a dream by night and said, “Ask what I shall give thee”. King Solomon replied God. 9/14/2023
REFUSE TO COMPROMISE YOUR FAITH EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 14,2023 TEXT: Matthew 13: 24-25 24Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Key verse: Matthew 13: 25: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Question: Sir, NYSC made it compulsory to put on trousers. I complained to the camp director and they told me that I don’t have a choice. So, I don’t know if there was anything that I ought to have done that I didn't do. After the camp we were instructed to wear complete kit but I used skirts. My colleagues told me that obedience is better than sacrifice, that I should obey. What do you say about this Sir? Answer: God has given instruction; the woman must not put on that which belongs to man. Forever O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. It is not the word of the government or man. It is the word of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. It is the word of the living God; above the authority of man, courts or government of any nation. But how did use of trousers become compulsory? When men slept. The churches slept; no church bothered about it. Satan used the government to take destructive actions and the churches did not say anything. Why are all the churches quiet? Use of trousers by females has no excuse. Females were allowed to wear skirts and gowns when the scheme began but they craftily changed it while men slept. 9/13/2023
GET YOURSELF PREPARED BEFORE MARRIAGE EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 13,2023 TEXT: JOHN 2:1-11 1And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. Key verse: Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? God is interested in marriage. Jesus performed His first miracle at a wedding in Cana. The intending couples are to make necessary preparations before the wedding. Among other things, the brother must have a suitable accommodation of at least one room equipped with household materials, such as bed, bedspreads, pillows, chairs, stove or cooker, kettle, cooking pots, plates, cutleries etc. The marriage committee (mc) should ensure the suitability of the proposed accommodation before the wedding day is fixed. The mc is expected to carry out physical inspection. The would-be bride should have enough dresses and things pertaining to women. 9/12/2023
AVOID WORLDLINESS IN ALL THAT YOU DO EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) TUESDAY SEPTEMBR 12,2023 TEXT: 1 JOHN 2:15-17 5Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Key verse: James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. As a child of God, you must not desire or copy the things of the world. The world has its pattern and mannerism of life. The Christian is different. The Christian life is strange and odd to the world. 1 Peter 4:4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you. In their lifestyles, the world and Christians do not conform together. Romans 12: 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) MONDAY SEPTEMBER 11,2023 TEXT: JOHN 15:15-16 15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Key verse: Matthew 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. As a minister of Christ, God has called you to anoint and empower you over Satan. He called you to come and be with Him. He says, “I want to anoint you; I want to give you victory over Satan; I want to put power in your life. Let every minister of the gospel who has come to be with Jesus know that he has power. God gave it to you because he called you. You have anointing, you have the power of God because he called you. You need to align yourself with this scripture. You have power, so let not Satan weaken you with fear; let no devil belittle you; let no man put fear in you; |
