 EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 Text: Proverbs 10: 19; 17: 28. 19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. 28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. Key Verse: If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. James 1: 26 This entails discipline in the use of your tongue. The Bible says, “if any man seemeth religious and bridleth not his tongue, that man's religion is vain”. If any man claims to be spiritual and does not control his tongue, that spirituality is useless. If any man is really anointed, a greatly anointed man or greatly anointed woman and is mouthy; the Bible says that there is no holiness in that person; because in a multitude of words, there wanteth not sin. There is no spirituality in your life actually. Talker, there is no holiness in your life. You are an empty barrel. Why do you make noise always? They hear your voice here and there. You talk and keep them laughing in this place and in that place. An empty barrel makes the loudest noise. This shows how empty and spiritually bankrupt you are. That is why you are full of noise. A man of knowledge holdeth his own tongue. Quietness is a sign of spirituality, indeed to the point that even a fool when he holdeth his tongue shall be esteemed to be a man of wisdom. 9/29/2025
Recover Yourself Quickly EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) MONDAY SEPTEMBER 29, 2025 Text: Ephesians 5: 13 - 17 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Key Verse: And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: Luke 22: 31 You allowed the devil to pull down your prayer life and your study life through busy life. You allowed the devil to affect you badly through laziness. What will you do now? Samson, when will your blind eyes be opened again? You allowed the devil to pluck it out. You were so careless that it is gone. How will you recover, Samson, now that Satan has cut-short your ministry? Please, watch out! It will take discipline to stay by the Bible. It will take discipline to pray. The television and handsets that have taken you over, watch it! They have taken over your prayer life. Watching this and watching that; the internet has said this and that. You have no more time for God. 9/28/2025
Devotional Life Of A Christian EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 Text: 2 kings 2: 9 - 109 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. 10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. Key Verse: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that t hou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8 Do you study the Bible or do you preach to others whereas you do not find it easy with your personal time with God? As you grow up and become busier, personal devotional life becomes more difficult. If this is not overcome, personal relationship with God will cease. You may flow well in service, you flow well when you come to the pulpit, but remember, that is only a gift; a calling. You do not go to heaven because you have a gift. You go to heaven because you practice the truth. Your devotional life might be taken away from you by Satan. Satan can give you more opportunity to serve, to be in the leadership position and keep you busy and then take away heaven from you. “When thy servant was busy here and there, the person was gone away that was given to me to keep”. Are you too busy for God? Busy in business, looking for money to the point that your Christian life is abandoned? Your devotional life with God is no more: No more time in the morning, no more time in the day, no more time in the evening. Is that how you live? Paul said, “I will never be a cast away after people have seen me work among them, preach on the streets, known me as a pastor, invited me to several places and that place, after people had been healed by me; will they not see me in heaven? Never! I will not allow that.”  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 Text: Acts 14: 1-3 1And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. 3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. Key Verse: “And there they preached the gospel.” Acts 14: 7 Does your general overseer have heaven for you? David meant business. The resolution of the king on life and administration was fully seen in the ministry of Jesus Christ. All His servants were righteous, except the son of perdition, who later backslid and was left to continue that the scripture might be fulfilled. If those who serve as leaders intend to inherit eternal life, they must serve in this spirit. Those who desire to serve God in all capacities must walk worthy. Are you an overseer in the Holiness Movement? That is a high title in the sight of God but may not be in the sight of men. In the sight of God, walk worthy of that title. Walk worthy! The pastor, elder, or bishop is a position of honor before God. 9/26/2025
Administer Justice And Judgment EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 Text: Psalm 101: 6-86 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. 7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. 8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord. Key Verse: “He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within My house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in My sight”. Psalms 101: 7 King David was resolved to remove false persons and hypocrites. They possess no genuine spirit. They are crafty in their works. They are undependable and give false accounts and testimonies; they turn the kingdom of God into a lie. If you ask them to give report, they will not give you true report. Somebody said Satan also suffers a lot from his demons because he is king over a kingdom of lies. So, if Satan should ask the demons to give him information, they will tell him lies because his subjects are liars, he cannot gather liars under him and expect to receive true information. Children of Satan are full of deceits. If you have a liar under the king, the king will suffer, because the report he will be given will not be correct. The financial report will never be true. He cannot tell the pastor the truth, because he has his personal interest. That is what king David is saying, and means business. “He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house, he cannot be among my leaders. He is a liar, undependable, destructive and a confusionist.”  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) THURSDAY September 25, 2025 Text: Acts 6: 3-73 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: 6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. 7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. Key Verse: “And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders, and miracles among the people.” Acts 6:8 Perfection of heart and life is highly required to serve God. Apart from a perfect heart, expertise is also required. We must serve God well, applying talent and good skill to it. With a perfect heart, go ahead and do wonders for your God. If the service of God is of worth at all do it with all your heart, strength and might. You came from where there was no perfection, you have to double up. This is because you came from where nobody was perfect, nobody looked for perfection. They disbelieved perfection; they were disdained those who said they were perfect. When Paul said, “Men and brethren I have served God in all good conscience.” The high priest commanded him to be slapped quickly because to him perfection was not possible. You belonged to a church where perfection does not exist; you were under a minister who slaps the mouth of those that claim perfection so you thought perfection does not exist, but now, you have come to a completely different ministry where perfection is our pursuit. Perfection is our message, prayer and testimony. Double up; you need to double up because you have much in Christ to acquire for yourself. Defaulters will make the king appear to be a defaulter. 9/24/2025
Reprove And Rebuke Sin EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 Text: Titus 1: 10-16 10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Key Verse: “But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine.” Titus 2:1 Some people have sold themselves willingly to Satan for hell. Your pastor has married two wives, and he is still your pastor? What is your reason? You do not love God. Even you too are not looking for heaven. If you were looking for heaven, you would not carry yourself to a blind man to lead you. Your pastor is an adulterer. He has even slept with you and you are still his member? You are not looking for salvation. Why have you not run from him? Because you are not looking for heaven. You saw the evil man with your eyes and you carried yourself to him and sat down before him? Your pastor is ungodly. Your pastor is not in righteousness. You have even heard that he is in secret society. You have heard that he is a cultist but you are still his member saying, “Only God will judge him.” God will judge you too. You hate righteousness and love darkness rather than light. You do not want to come to Jesus. If you were not a sinner, you would not have been there.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 Text: Psalm 95: 1-7 1O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. 3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. 5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. 6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. 7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, Key Verse: I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 1 Timothy 2:8 There is a strong move in the churches of our time that appears to be showing that prayer is more effective and result-oriented when done on a mountain. Many people go to mountains to pray, ministers, believers, and at times, whole congregations. Those who practice praying on the mountain seem to believe that since Elijah prayed on a mountain and there was rain and Jesus prayed on the mountain on some occasions, the mountain must have some prayer advantage. More and more people go to the mountains to pray. Some go to lonely mountains in distant places to pray. Jesus preached, taught the word, prayed and performed miracles on the mountain. 9/22/2025
Pillars Of The Christian Ministry EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) MONDAY SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 Text: Genesis 39: 1 - 6 1And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. 6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured. Key Verse: “Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with Me, he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve Me.” Psalms 101: 6 The faithful are the righteous and holy, the true and dependable. They are faithful in life, doctrine and service. Their faithfulness can be seen by the king. He delights to see them. They are the ones he builds around himself. He watches over them, cares and protects them in his kingdom. The minister must appreciate those who are faithful. Gather them around him and honour them. The faithful are the pillars of the Christian ministry, and of the church. God's eyes are upon the faithful. Those that are with Him are called, “True and faithful.” God seeketh such to serve Him. He delights in them; their prayers are a delight and joy to God. Their voice is precious, their appearance is comforting. The faithful of the land are the ones to dwell with the king. They are the ones to be appointed to positions of authority. They are the ones to be recommended and promoted. They are the ones to be the king's counselors and body guards. When Jacob served Laban, Laban noticed prosperity, because he was faithful. He was not stealing, he was not changing things to his honor, he was not focusing on himself. When Joseph was employed by Potiphar in Egypt, immediately, Potiphar noticed the presence of God. He noticed prosperity had come to him to the point that except himself and his wife, every other thing was abandoned into the hands of Joseph. He was a faithful man. He was not self-seeking. May God raise up ministers among us who will not be self-seeking. 9/21/2025
God Resists The Proud EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2025 Text: Psalm 20: 7-8 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. 8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Key Verse: “Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer”. Psalm 101: 5: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. The king resolved to fight pride in his kingdom. He will abase those who exalt themselves. That is God. God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble. He will deny promotion to those who are self-seeking. All their calculation is how to be on top because they will act more powerfully and do more wickedness. If you see them climbing the mountain, it is very dangerous because when they roll down a stone from there, everything will scatter from beneath. That is why the promotion of a sinner is dangerous. How much more when you are the one who promotes such a sinner. 9/20/2025
Beware Of Slanderers EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 Text: 2 Samuel 16: 1 - 4 1And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink. 3 And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. 4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king. Key Verse: “Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off; him that hath an high look and a proud heart, will not I suffer.” Psalm 101: 5 King David resolved that slanderers and gossips will not receive his favour but judgment. Slanderers do not carry message of love but of resentment. They are destroyers and not builders. Their aim is self-promotion and self-protection. When Ziba came to David in the wilderness, where he fled from the face of Absalom. Ziba wanted to get favor in the eyes of King David so he came with a slander against Mephibosheth his master. He told David that Mephibosheth was busy preparing himself in Jerusalem saying, “Now the Lord shall restore to me the kingdom of my father that was snatched away from the hand of Saul.” 9/19/2025
Spirituality Is Required, Not Carnality EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 Text: Galatians 1: 10 - 12 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ Key Verse: “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes, I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me”. Psalms 101 verse 3 The Psalmist here resolved not to appreciate the service of those who turn away, who live in sin and hypocrisy, as stated in Psalms 101:3. He shall not delight in such service. It is as valueless as a cloud without rain, an empty well without water; valueless! Should we give people flattering titles because they did this and that, and the person is not in Christ? I will not give him an eye of approval or a comment of approval. You that are praying for leadership, and for me “Oh God help Pastor Paul Rika, let this work stand”. Pray in this line too “That at no time should Pastor Paul Rika leave the spiritual for carnality; that at no time should he leave the honour of Jesus Christ for the honour of himself or man at no time should spiritual service turn to fleshly service.” 9/18/2025
Desire To Walk With The Upright EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 Text: Ephesians 4: 11-15 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: Key Verse: “Therefore let no man glory in men, for all things are yours.” 1 Corinthians 1:21 Various kinds of people come near the king, each coming to offer their service. Some are godly and some are ungodly, because they have turned aside. The ungodly come with lies, gossip, slander, human praise, blinding gifts. They can be detected by their works as a tree by its fruits. The godly leader hates their works, not them. If they repent, they will be accepted by him. If they refuse repentance, they form part of wicked things that he will not set before his eyes. This is the standard of God and this is what God wants us to do in Holiness Movement. Have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with respect of persons. Do not respect any person and compromise as long as this work is concerned. We want to comfort God by raising up a body of people committed to holiness. If we respect persons, we shall fail God.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 Text: 2 Timothy 3: 16-17 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Key Verse: Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity. Habakkuk 1:13 It is not a manifestation of God's healing and deliverance power. Above all, our contention is that this manifestation, which is so rampant today, lacks scriptural authority. Whoever sees this manifesting in his ministry must return to God in prayer and be sober and diligent in his way. Salvation and the holiness of the life of men are the end of every Christian ministry. There are sufficient scriptural signs and gifts of the Spirit to covet. Manifestations that are not traceable to the scriptures must be rejected. We cannot deny that people may fall down due to the Holy Spirit's manifestation in the ministry of a true minister of God. The following may be the cause of some people falling under the power of God today. i: Some people fall down when the Holy Spirit comes upon them in baptismal measure. ii: Some fall down when they experience God's miracle touch. iii: Some fall down due to demonic reaction or when demons are cast out of them. iv: Some fall down out of the convicting power of God's word. v: Some fall down because they are stricken by the power of God for reasons known unto God, John 18:3-8. 9/16/2025
Walk With A Perfect Heart EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 16, 2025 Text: Mathew 13: 35 - 37 35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. 36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; Key Verse: “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3: 17 Be resolved to conduct yourself in utmost piety, to justify the doctrine of holiness. It is as the people see you manifest the virtues of righteousness, that you will have ministerial authority over them. Then, they can submit. When they see you display what you preach, they will follow you; for Christ has given us an example that we should follow His steps. True holiness is the one that issues from a purified heart, and the godly leader must seek sanctification experience and maintain it. His resolve also shows transparency before all in the private or open, in the family and in the church. “I shall be transparent; my works shall be clear. My people shall not find me with fault; I will be transparent.” Paul said, “Send someone with me to deliver the message that was given to me; the money and material support. We do this so that we should not only have a conscience void of offence towards God but also towards men. That no man blame us of these things which we do.” 9/15/2025
A Call For God's Divine Presence EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) MONDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 Text: Isaiah 57: 15 - 18 15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made. 17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. 18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. Key Verse: “I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way, O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.” Psalms 101:2 This is a call for God's divine presence, help and support in ministry. David needed wisdom and perfection to win, the presence of God in his ministry. God is holy, who will sit with Him on high? Those that are of a contrite spirit, of a humble heart, of a holy heart and of righteousness. Such will be with God, the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous. David wanted God to be with him; and if God must be with him, wisdom and perfection is required. He must be wise so that he can be perfect; then he will gain the presence of God. Otherwise, you will be carrying out Christian leadership as a man running a chemist; or you will be running the Christian ministry like a vulcanizer that pumps the tyres of vehicles on the road side lives by it. God is with you as much as He is with the groundnut seller, because the groundnut seller is trading and feeding people created by God and is making profit. You too are gathering people and reading the Bible to them to help some of them, and that is all. It is not that God has recognized you, because there is no commitment in your life; there is no truth or righteousness in your ministry and service, since the presence of God is not with you. In the Christian ministry, the principles you are adopting are lies and falsehood. Your foundation is out of course. You cannot expect the God of truth and justice to be with you in the ministry. 9/14/2025
Wisdom And Perfection EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 Text: 2 Chronicles 1: 7 - 12 7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. 9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? 11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: 12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. Key Verse: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. James 3: 17 David now set before him wisdom and perfection. This is what every minister of God must set before himself. To lead people requires wisdom. Solomon asked for it. Do not forget to ask for this. “Wisdom is the principal thing. Therefore, get wisdom and in all thy getting, get understanding.” This wisdom must be pure for you to be perfect. Many use wisdom, actually, but it is the wisdom to do evil, the wisdom to cover evil, the wisdom to escape with their evil. That is not the wisdom of God. That kind of wisdom is not of God. The wisdom that descended from above is first pure, it is clean and perfect. You need this wisdom to be perfect. 9/13/2025
Working In The Will Of God EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING
BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 2025 TEXT: James 5: 7-11 7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. Key Verse: “Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” James 5: 8 Working in the will of God is working by His guidance. God is the One to direct the actions. He is the Captain; we are following Him. He is the One to direct us to the place and position we should take. Working for heaven is working by the guidance of God, and by the supply of grace from God. Working not by our own mechanical strength but by the supply of grace. Always look to Him. Jesus Christ said when thou pray, say “Our Father, which art in heaven. Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom, come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.” Always ask for daily grace for the work He has called you to do that you might do it by His spirit, anointing, guidance and instruction. Always ask for daily grace. It is working for heavenly reward, not for earthly reward, for our works may not and cannot be rewarded upon the earth. Working for heaven involves working together to gather saints for heaven. The Lord is not coming to carry money or cars from this earth to heaven. He is not coming to inherit houses. He is coming to carry souls. 9/12/2025
No Man Taketh This Honour Unto Himself EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING
BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 TEXT: Hebrews 5:4-6 4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Key Verse: And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. Hebrews 5: 4 No matter how a man shines under you, know that he will not take over, because you were chosen by the living God. He knows your weaknesses and as long as you come faithfully to Him and plead for grace, you will have it. There is more to ministry than gifts, charisma and intelligent preaching. Aaron was a vocalist but there was more to leadership to bring people from Egypt than being vocal. So, please trust in God that has chosen you. Do not strive, because your portion will always be there in the Lord. When a couple have given birth to a child and the child is eating food, why worry about another child coming, provided they can cater for them, because it is their responsibility. Do not allow envy and jealousy to spoil the work of God, to make the leader envy others, mistreat them, send them away because of fear that they will take over. The choice to ministry is of God; no man taketh it unto himself.  EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 Text: Matthew 9:14, 15 14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. Key Verse: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that He had said that He would do unto them; and He did it not. Jonah 3: 10 The unrighteous cannot win God's favor or receive His blessing through fasting. If they must fast acceptably, they must accompany their fast with deep sorrow and repentance from their sin. Those whose fasting is acceptable to God are those who are righteous. God expects righteousness and holiness to be exhibited during fasting, for His blessing to be released. There are those who fast to let people know of their ability to fast. The Lord warns against this, because it has no reward. The glory they receive from men is their reward. God has no blessing to give them for their outward show. The local church should teach and train her members on scriptural fasting. Fasting requires moderation, so as not to abuse it and bring harm upon oneself and others. The account of the New Testament Church does not reveal a church full of fasting. The marathon fasting many ministers often pull their church members through is strange to the early church. Care must be taken not to undermine the place of prayer and faith apart from fasting. Fasting must not be exalted above its biblical place. Apostles Barnabas and Paul ordained elders over the churches they planted. They prayed with fasting and commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. |
