EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 10 TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 5: 21-24 1Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Key verse: Genesis 3:21: Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins and clothed them. Question: Is it proper for a Christian tailor to collect trousers from an unbeliever for amendment or sew an open-back or show-breasts for unbelievers? Answer: It is not proper. I appreciate this type of question. Tailors should not sew any cloth that will make women stumbling blocks to children of God. They are partakers of the sins of those people. So, a tailor must reject any cloth that does not conform to the standard of righteousness. Although some may say, ‘If I do so where will I find my food?’ What shall it profit you if you can eat all the food and go to hell? Trust God to feed you. He will bring true customers to you or else give you another business. God can do that. EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 9,2023 TEXT: PSALM 149: 1-8 1Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, And his praise in the congregation of saints.2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. 4For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.5Let the saints be joyful in glory: Let them sing aloud upon their beds.6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two edged sword in their hand;7To execute vengeance upon the heathen, And punishments upon the people;8To bind their kings with chains, Key verse: Psalm 150: 1 “Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the firmament of His power.” QUESTION: Many churches no longer clap hands for choruses but have replaced the old hymns with worldly songs and dances. Is it okay to use music band in church? Answer: Use of drums in churches have turned worship to carnal emotions. Sinners are not sober to repent and are not convicted by the word but dance and laugh since music gives joy. So, do we remove the music band? That is an individual decision. It can be used if the right approach is applied; playing godly songs solemnly, worship will flow naturally to bless the gospel of Christ because music was used in the Old Testament. A minstrel played for Elisha and he got inspiration for prophecy. David played a harp solemnly and an evil spirit departed from Saul. EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 8,2023 TEXT: ROMANS 6: 6-14 6knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Key verse: Romans 6: 7 “For he that is dead is freed from sin.” Question: I would like you to define righteousness and holiness and differentiate two of them with examples. Answer: Now what is righteousness and what is holiness? If we are taking the general definition, it is quite exhaustive but then righteousness has two definitions. The first definition is coming to a right standing and acceptance with God. Then the second definition is doing what is right according to God’s word. The second definition of righteousness is equal to holiness because it is complete obedience to God’s word; doing what is right in the sight of God. Holiness is obeying all the word of God. Righteousness is doing what is right in the sight of God so, it means the same thing but before you have to first believe in Jesus and receive justification. EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 7,2023 TEXT: PSALM 106: 13-18 13They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel: 14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.15And he gave them their request; But sent leanness into their soul.16They envied Moses also in the camp, And Aaron the saint of the LORD.17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.18And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked. Key verse: Psalm 130:1 “Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O LORD.” My name is Sister Priscilla Chukwuemeka from Imo state chapter. I benefited much from the book, “Raising up godly children for Jesus”. After reading that book repeatedly as a missionary, I had the vision of starting a school. I saw that it was a great opportunity for me to pour out what I learnt from that book. I have taught in private schools, big schools where you cannot preach to children about Jesus; about heaven and hell. I realized that in addition to raising godly children, Daddy Paul Rika may need to come up with raising godly parents. I had up to 50 school children and I asked a ten-year old boy, Samuel, to come and stay with me so that I can make more impact in his life. At first the mother refused but one day, the boy packed his things and told the mother that he was going to stay with school mummy. EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 6,2023 TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 12: 1-4 1It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4how that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Key verse: Deuteronomy 29: 29 “The secret things belong unto the LORD our God but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” On the 8 th of September, 2017, Sister Linda Paul Rika had an encounter with the late Sister Waetsi Amos who died in a motor accident on 22 nd August, 2017. Her husband, the late Rev. Dr Amos Hassan, Pastor of RCCN (Redeemed Christian Church of Nigeria) Sabon Gida, Lissam had also died a week after due to injuries sustained in the same motor accident on their way to HOREMOW Minister’s conference in Abuja, Nigeria. The testimony of Sister Linda is presented here: When I went to bed on the night of 7 th September, I felt the presence of someone in the room. This kept me tensed up and I could not sleep till around 2:00 am. I wondered why I could not sleep. I asked God for sleep and I felt a cool breeze on me and slept off. In my sleep I felt in the spirit that someone was talking to me. All of a sudden, I saw myself in a gathering of people and a particular well-dressed young woman was looking intently at me. When I sat down, she came to me. I observed that she wore a small crown on her head and put on a very fine gown. She held a scroll in her hand. She noticed that I was afraid to see her so she stood to talk to me. I could not recognize her. EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 5,2023 TEXT: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10 1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Key verse: 2 Thessalonians 2: 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. Question: Is the 666 mark before the rapture or after the rapture? Answer: The 666 mark will not come until the antichrist has taken over. The antichrist is taken over as Jesus took over the world when He came representing the Godhead and He was God in body form. The antichrist is a man, but it shall be like an embodiment of Satan. God himself shall give allowance, more chance to do his wickedness upon the earth, God will give that permission. So, the antichrist is the visible representation of Satan. The false prophet who shall be performing miracles, the antichrist and Satan shall form a trinity just as the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost forms the trinity. That shall be the trinity of evil and they will be doing great wickedness in the world, and it is then the mark 666 shall be released upon the people of the world. Whoever receives the mark the chances of salvation have been closed against him. But then that antichrist the Bible says has not yet been revealed. EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) MONDAY SEPTEMBER 4,2023 TEXT: MARK 16: 15-20 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Key verse: Psalm 68:11 “The Lord gave the word, great was the company of those that published it.” Question: Can a believer who evangelizes without winning a soul make heaven? Answer: I think your problem is that you go about evangelism without wisdom because the Bible says he that winneth souls is wise. You are not applying wisdom in soul winning. Otherwise, if you are wise and go out for evangelism in the way you say it, you will win souls. Which are the various ways of winning souls? Winning souls is like catching fish from the river and there are various methods to be used in catching fish. Use various methods you will succeed. Get materials and send them out, some of these materials are very effective, get them and send them out. Buy the materials. With N500 you can buy some things and begin to send out. Look for what to do, ask God for wisdom, ask others how they prosper in the evangelism and do the same. You will see fruitfulness in your evangelism. If you have the mind to win souls, I congratulate you for that. Ask God for more grace. 9/3/2023
PERIL OF IGNORANCE AMONG PASTORSEVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3,2023 TEXT: ACTS 18:24-28. 24And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. 27And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: 28for he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. Key verse: Acts 18: 26: And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. Question: What is the fate of pastors that are sincerely ignorant of the holiness standard of God? Apollos was a humble man; a sincere preacher that loved God but an ignorant one. He was not teaching the full word of God; what he knew he did well, but he did not do much. Aquila and Priscilla had come across him and they called him and said come. We love your zeal and what you are doing but we want to perfect you. This man only knew the baptism of John. He was talking to people to repent of their sins and turn to righteousness but he was not aware of Jesus because he knew only the baptism of John. John baptized to show Christ’s coming so that people will turn to Him but Apollos did not know that Jesus had come. So, Aquila and Priscilla called him and talked to him; they presented to him the way of the Lord more perfectly. He was so humble; he learnt and went to the churches of Christ as they directed him. Having known the scriptures, he mightily convinced the Jews proving by the scripture the lordship of Christ. EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 2,2023 TEXT: MATTHEW 7:15-20. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Key verse: Jeremiah 3:15; “And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.” Question: Why do all these men of God not preach against the use of jewelry? Do they not read the same Bible? Why did God not talk to them because they even wear these things? Answer: There are pastors who profess to be shepherds of God but they are scattering the work of God. They are not teaching the people; they are feeding them with different things but then there are pastors that are true after the heart of God. The ones that teach according to the word of God, giving them correct knowledge and understanding. How do we know them? By their fruits ye shall know them. What are the fruits? The fruit of their own personal lives. If your belief is erroneous, it will affect your life. By the fruit of their lives, you will know them. Also, by their fruits which they produce; every tree bringeth forth fruit after its kind. By the lives, appearance and activities of the members, you will know the pastors that are not after the heart of God. Now if you know, maybe you discover that your pastor scatters, what is the Bible recommendation to you? 9/1/2023
NOURISH AND CHERISH YOUR BODYEVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 1,2023 TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 5: 21-24 21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5: 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your physical body, that is your flesh, is the one that covers you. Touch your body to know and understand what this means. Your physical body is indispensable. Praise the Lord for it. The Bible says that you should preserve that body. God is willing to get that body preserved. Many people have died before their time because they did not care for the body. They never gave attention to the wellbeing of their body. God is interested that your body be preserved blameless, without sickness, damage or any condition that can make it prevent your soul and spirit from giving God full worship and service. |
