(Int'l Director Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) DATE: TUESDAY MAY 14, 2019 TEXT: GENESIS 12:1-3 KEY VERSE: Galatians 3:9 "So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham" From our reading text you can see that the Lord chose Abraham, who was barren and had no children. I am tracing the origin of Christianity. The Lord said, (paraphrase), “Don't worry about your wife, I am bringing you up to be a great nation, the mighty shall come of you, through you shall be born one, who will be a blessing to all the people in the world.” God made a promise to Abraham, “Jesus will be coming through you, which is the seed I promise in the garden. I (God) told the devil in the garden he is coming to destroy him and free mankind from him. I will pass that child through you.” Now, you can see that Christianity started in the garden of Eden. It was following a lineage which was gradually unfolding. When God promised Abraham, I am going to give you a seed and by that seed multitude shall come to the world, Ishmael was already born.

(Int'l Director of Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) DATE: MONDAY MAY 13, 2019 TEXT: MALACHI 1:13-14 KEY VERSE: “Leviticus 22:20; But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you." God is holy. The Bible says without holiness we cannot see Him. True worshippers of God are to do so in absolute holiness and this includes bringing gifts to His altar in tithe, offering and special donations. The money and material gifts brought to God as offering must not be the following: 1. Money from stolen property. 2. Gains from lies and deceit. 3. Gains from treachery and human oppression. 4.Proceeds of embezzlement, robbery, fraud or harlotry. Such money is dirty in the sight of God and an abomination to Him. To bring such money to God either in tithe or offering is to attempt to make God an accomplice of your evil deeds, which is impossible. A holy God cannot be a partaker of evil. (Int'l Director of Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) DATE: SUNDAY MAY 12, 2019 TEXT: MATTHEW 8: 5-13 KEY VERSE: “Now when He had left speaking, He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught”. Luke 5:4 The person that made these promises is too great to be overlooked by you. Heaven and earth have known and recognized Him to be great. Looking at the nature of the person that made the promises, why would you not trust Him? It is God that told you that He will do what He said He will do. Because of His Person,believe what He told you. Act on what He says and wait for His promises. The Centurion saw the dignity, personality and the greatness of Jesus. He caught a revelation on the divinity of Jesus. He knew and understood the authority of Jesus, hence he said, Lord, you don't need to go all the way to my house. Just speak a word only and I will believe you and it shall be done. I know Your Omnipotence and I also know that distance cannot be a barrier between your word and where my servant is. I believe in your authority. That is faith. Do you have the same conviction on the divinity and omnipotence of God? If yes, it is the Holy Ghost that has convicted you that way. This is the reason why you should believe and count it done. Your freedom will truly come, and you will sit down and relax with your testimonies. Don't mind the time it may take for you to see what you have believed. As long as it is God that said it, it is done. This is what Apostle Peter was saying, Master, we have utilized all professional skills of fishing that we have, yet there was no result to show. However, since you are omniscient and you have spoken, I will obey you. I have known so much about you. I have known what you are capable of doing and have witnessed you doing them. I have known your word never fails. Since you are the one telling me to do it, I will do it. Int'l Director of Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide
DATE: SATURDAY MAY 11, 2019 TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 2:19-21 KEY VERSE: “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God” 2 Corinthians 7:1. When a person is born again he is to be taught all things the Lord has commanded in the Scripture. Not all preachers of the gospel bother about the outward appearance of a believer, but holiness cannot be achieved without freedom from worldliness in physical appearance. Any believer that does not want to conform to sound Christian teaching on Christian dressing, in modesty and sobriety, is not holy and cannot see God. Biblical teaching on Christian dressing is not for everyone, but for those professing, godliness, who seek to be holy. This teaching is aimed at raising holy men and women for God in these last days, to present a church without spot or wrinkle to Christ at His second coming. Ephesians 5:27: "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." Founding fathers of many Christian assemblies taught against the use of jewelry in Christian dressing in the light of the Scriptures, to keep their members holy. BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA
Int'l Director Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide DATE : FRIDAY, MAY 10, 2019 TEXT: Psalm 82:1-2 KEY VERSE: Deuteronomy 10:17 "For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward." From testimony of Sister Finda, on the fate of those that missed the rapture: I saw a child in hell. Normally, we think children don't go to hell because they are innocent. It was that day I knew every man born of a woman is guilty of knowing evil and good, and prone to sin. This child was about six to eight years of age. To us, such a child is innocent and does not know anything. He stood and was crying, “I missed the rapture; I missed the rapture.” I was shocked so I asked, “What do you know about rapture?” He kept saying, “I missed rapture.” That was the only thing he could say. I saw a very popular international preacher who also missed the rapture. He is one of the gospel artists I admire greatly. I wanted to be like him and preach like him. When I saw him, I felt like asking Jesus, “What is this man doing here on earth? Why didn't he make the rapture after preaching to many souls?” BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA
Int'l Director Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide DATE: THURSDAY MAY 9, 2019 TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 2:19-21 KEY VERSE: “And when He had removed him, He raised up unto them David to be their king, to whom also He gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after Mine own heart, which shall fulfill all My will.” Acts 13: 22. “I have found…” It is not easy even for God to find a man like this. "I have found", means I have been looking for him. I searched for him and at last I found him. "A man after Mine own heart", means his heart is on Me, and he will do all my pleasure. David was a man dedicated to God in life and service. He was bold and courageous and God put him to use as a vessel of honour. The Bible gives us accounts of men and women that obtained favour before God. The Bible also shows us why some of these people found grace in God's sight. God is the same in nature and attribute from the beginning of His revelation to man until now. There are things that provoke Him to judgment against men and there are things that provoke Him to love and make men obtain grace in His sight. We shall make some brief study of some Bible saints with emphasis on why they obtained grace in the sight of God. BY: PASTOR PAUL RIKA / Int'l Director
DATE: WEDNESDAY MAY 8, 2019 TEXT: Luke 5:4-7 KEY VERSE: Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." In the reading text for today, Peter and his brethren followed the normal principles of fishing, toiling all night without catching anything. However, when he submitted to divine guidance from the Lord, they caught a great multitude of fishes and filled their ship and their neighbour's to their amazement. If believers will submit themselves to the guidance of God as to where to pay their tithes and which ministry to support financially at a given time, and not be limited by the tradition of paying tithes only to the local church where they worship, there will certainly be great harvest of souls, much gospel progress and bountiful rewards. But much money and resources are wasted today because of tradition. How many of these churches use these resources and money for Jesus? How many invest them on evangelism and on the works of righteousness? Rather, they use them to lay treasure on the earth where moth and rust corrupt and where men break through and steal.

Int'l Director Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide Daily devotion for : TUESDAY MAY 7, 2019 TEXT: JOHN 3: 16–18 KEY VERSE: John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." Revelation of Evangelist Linda Paul-Rika on a Muslim brother in hell Continues: Sidi kept on crying and lamenting: “I am suffering; my sister I am suffering; I am suffering. Why did you people not tell me? You people are wicked!” He continued again and said, “I pleaded to Jesus saying, 'Lord, you will not blame me. I am not at fault. My parents raised me up as a Muslim. They taught me from the Quran and besides Lord, You did not make me know when I was on earth that I was into a wrong religion.” Then Jesus spoke: “I do not force people to follow Me although I AM God. But those who desire to know the true way and seek Me, I make it known to them in various ways. I appear to them or send My angels through dreams and visions and in different ways. Have you ever sincerely asked God in your prayer to show you the way of truth to follow? By: Pastor Paul Rika / Int'l Director
TEXT: ISAIAH 5: 11-12 KEY VERSE: Hosea 4:10 "For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD." There is this licentiousness, wantonness, outrageousness, shamelessness, insolence, filthy and unbridled lust in the life of youths that render them defenseless before evil spirits' invasion.(1 Peter 4:3-4; Isaiah 5:11-12). When you seek the pleasures of this world, you are seeking honour not of God but of yourself and man (John 5:44; 12:43; 2 Tim 3:1-7; Philippians 3:18) thereby leaving the gate of your life wide open for evil spirit invasion. The lust for the pleasures of this world leads youths into various habits such as drug addiction, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol or strong drinks etc. All these evil habits are ways youths are being infested with evil spirit (Proverbs 31:4, Isaiah 5:22).

TEXT: Psalms: 46:1 – 3 KEY VERSE: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. Hebrews 11:1 "Faith is now" Be conscious of the “Now” nature of faith. Believe God now in spite of that terrible situation. Start the action of faith now. Do that faith confession now. Receive the answer to your prayer now. Receive your healing now. Faith can make you live now. As you wait patiently on God for full manifestation of the answers to your prayers, receive the answers by faith now. The Psalmist says, I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13. Never allow discouragement and weariness as you wait patiently on the Lord. Keep your faith alive and active until you have it. Believe that there is still hope for you.

TEXT: Genesis 39: 4 – 12 KEY VERSE: "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” Matt 7: 6" Joseph rejected the appeal for sexual immorality from his master's wife. Cheap ladies and cheap money from men will not subdue the Josephs and Josephines in Christ. He said, “How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?” Some married women are looking for young boys to sleep with them. Such things could not seduce righteous Joseph. Hate sexual immorality with all your heart. Fight against it with all your strength. Pray, fast and seek counsel from true Christians in order to overcome immorality. Avoid boyfriend or girlfriend relationships in order to overcome this evil. How can I do this wickedness! Some free women are there. Some are even your relations that are asking you to lie with them! Some are your uncles that are telling you to lie with them before they give you money. How can you do this wickedness and sin against God? Satisfy God's righteous demands, not a man or woman's demands. How are you doing your own? 5/3/2019 Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide: WHY PAYMENT OF TITHE IS STILL MANDATORY IN THE NEW TESTAMENTBy: Pastor Paul Rika / Int'l Director
TEXT: Hebrews 7:1-10 KEY VERSE: Matthew 23:23, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." Payment of tithe is not limited to the Old Testament time; it is still mandatory for the New Testament believer. In our reading text for today, the scripture reveals that Abraham's children yet in his loins paid tithes along with him to Melchizedek. The scripture says "Melchizedek who receiveth tithes liveth". Abraham was promised children by God. These children of Abraham paid tithes in Abraham's time. Since we are children of Abraham by faith, we too should pay tithes in this dispensation of grace because he who receiveth tithes from Abraham liveth. Galatians 3:7, 29, “7. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 29. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” God declared Jesus Christ as a Priest after the order of Melchizedek. Jesus Christ liveth and receiveth tithes from the children of Abraham by faith, which children we are. Hence, we must pay tithes to Him, through His representatives on earth. Matthew 23:23, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

TEXT: ISAIAH 46:10-11 KEY VERSE: Numbers 23:19; "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" When I was in the University, there was a program a chaplain organized and invited some preachers from Europe and America to minister. The program attracted about one thousand people. The Lord came to me and asked, “What do you want Me to do for you in this program?”. I said, “Lord, You have been speaking about my future. Lord, You have been telling me about the future, about the ministry you have for me. I am not clear. Here in this program, I don't know how, but since You have asked me what I want, I want You to make the future ministry You have for me clear.” The Lord said, “I have heard you. Now I will do that for you but make sure you keep yourself righteous and holy in this program and I will do it for you.” This event happened around 1986. TEXT:
Hebrews 5:12-14 KEY VERSE: Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.." Food is essential for the body in order to achieve healthy growth. The body naturally craves for food at one time or the other to satisfy this need. After Jesus fasted 40 days and 40 nights the Bible says, “He was afterward an hungred.” Even though food is essential to the body, it has limited value because the flesh itself is subject to decay no matter how well you take care of it. Food for the stomach, stomach for food, both of them will perish. For this reason, your emphasis should not be on food that nourishes for a while and soon pass out as waste, but on the kind of food that nourishes to eternal life and has no waste material in it, which is the Word of God (the Bible).

Teacher: Pastor Cliff McAnthony Challenge: To memorize Proverbs 1:8 - assigned on 04/20/2019. During 04/27/2019 Kids Fellowship Pastor Cliff tested the children and parents on the genuine practice of this memory verse over the week. Outcome: Testimony: A mother gave a wonderful testimony about how her children were abiding by the will of God in their wise selection of movies, shows, and other areas of entertainment. She was proud to report how they were informed and obedient enough to say "no" to worldly choices and take action to avoid them. Her children were practicing the right use of entertainment platforms and use of electronics. Confession: Most children reported 50% or less obedience status to their parents and Pastor Cliff gave a strong warning for the children to make personal effort to reach 100% obedience. He encouraged the children to ask God for grace to accomplish this for God is Just and willing to give liberally to His children as they pray and ask. Remind your children that as they are approaching of age to know right from wrong they are actively deciding their eternity now. Children do not have baby demons nor lesser angels or a smaller Holy Spirit. The same is assigned to them that which is assigned to all believers great and small. Equip your children to live a righteous and holy life without compromise. Follow-up: The challenge remains in place for next Kids' Fellowship on 05/11/2019 scheduled to start from 7:00 PM EST. Both children and parents are encouraged to attend to report the progress of obedience to parents. Memory verse challenge between now and 05/11/2019: Proverbs 2: 1-8 Key verse: Proverbs 2:6 "For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding." Challenge: Memorize Proverbs 2:1-8 in full |
