HOREMOW Brings Gospel of Righteousness to Liberia

The Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW) has intensified its evangelism mission in Liberia, bringing a message of righteousness, holiness and biblical truth to Christians and members of the public as part of its broader campaign for spiritual revival.

The non-denominational Christian movement says its mission is to revive Christians, bring people to Christ and encourage believers to practice biblical teachings as they pursue a deeper relationship with God.

Speaking during an interview on the Liberia Broadcasting Corporation (ELBC) radio, HOREMOW International Director Pastor Paul Rika said the movement came to Liberia with a message he described as a call for Christians to return to righteousness and holiness.

“Our mission here is to revive and to bring others to Christ,” Pastor Rika said, explaining that HOREMOW wants Christians to rediscover and practice biblical truth.

He said the movement’s message is particularly focused on encouraging people to place God at the center of their lives and to examine their conduct in light of biblical teachings.

According to Pastor Rika, HOREMOW was established in 2008 and is headquartered in Nigeria. The movement, he added, is non-denominational and operates across churches and Christian communities rather than functioning as a conventional denomination.

“We are working in all churches,” he said, explaining that HOREMOW seeks to encourage Christians and ministers to understand biblical teachings and apply them in their daily lives.

A Message of Righteous Living

At the heart of HOREMOW’s Liberia mission is its emphasis on what the movement calls “righteousness, holiness and heaven.”

Pastor Rika said the movement believes Christians should not only identify themselves as believers but should demonstrate their faith through their conduct.

He said HOREMOW is concerned about what its leaders describe as growing spiritual and moral challenges within Christian communities and wants to encourage believers to return to the teachings of the Bible.

The movement’s leadership says its goal is not to establish another denomination, but to work among existing Christian communities and encourage people to understand and practice what it considers biblical truth.

Pastor Rika also emphasized obedience to God, arguing that spiritual revival must begin with individuals taking their relationship with God seriously.

He said people should seek God first rather than only turning to religion during periods of difficulty.

For HOREMOW, the message of righteousness extends beyond church services to everyday life, including how individuals treat their families, communities and fellow citizens.

Reaching Across Denominations

Unlike a conventional church denomination, HOREMOW describes itself as a movement that works across denominational boundaries.

Pastor Rika said this structure allows the movement to visit different churches and communities and share its teachings without establishing a separate Sunday worship structure.

“We are like catalysts,” he said, explaining that HOREMOW’s intention is to encourage existing churches to strengthen their emphasis on biblical teaching and righteous living.

The movement says it has expanded its activities to dozens of countries, with Liberia forming part of its international outreach.

Pastor Rika said his ongoing tour involves visiting different countries and communities to preach about biblical truth, righteousness and holiness.

He described the Liberia visit as part of that wider mission.

Adding a personal dimension to HOREMOW’s message is the testimony of Evang. Linda Paul Rika, popularly known as Sister Linda, who serves as the movement’s women coordinator.

Sister Linda, who described Liberia as a country close to her heart, shared her personal journey and said her experiences have strengthened her commitment to preaching Christian holiness.

She said she grew up facing hardship after losing her parents at a young age and eventually became involved in a lifestyle she now regards as inconsistent with her Christian faith.

According to Sister Linda, she was involved in nightlife, drinking, smoking and other activities while still identifying herself as a Christian.

She said she attended church and supported religious activities but later came to understand that simply attending church was not enough to change her life.

Her younger sister, she said, eventually challenged her to examine her lifestyle against biblical teachings.

That experience became part of what she described as a spiritual turning point.

Sister Linda now uses her testimony to encourage people, particularly young people, who may be struggling with destructive lifestyles.

She says her personal transformation is evidence, in her view, that people can change when they genuinely turn their lives over to God.

Appeal to Liberia’s Youth

The HOREMOW women coordinator also expressed concern about the challenges facing young Liberians.

She pointed to peer pressure, social media, substance use and other influences that she believes can negatively affect young people’s lives.

She appealed to parents, churches and young people to pay greater attention to moral and spiritual guidance.

Sister Linda said young people should understand that their present circumstances do not have to determine the direction of their lives.

She particularly encouraged those experiencing frustration, addiction, unemployment or other personal difficulties to seek hope through faith and a renewed commitment to God.

Her message, she said, is based on her own experience of moving from what she described as a troubled lifestyle to one centered on Christian ministry.

Conference to Promote Biblical Truth

HOREMOW is also using a conference in Monrovia as a major platform for its evangelism and teaching.

According to the organizers, the conference is being held in Congo Town, opposite SADCOM, and is open to people from different Christian backgrounds.

The organizers said morning sessions are scheduled from approximately 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., while evening sessions are expected to run from 5:00 p.m. to about 8:00 p.m.

The conference is expected to feature preaching and teaching centered on biblical truth, righteousness, holiness and preparation for eternal life.

Pastor Rika encouraged Liberians from different parts of the country to attend, saying the gathering is intended to give people an opportunity to hear the movement’s teachings directly.

He said the movement expects people to come from different backgrounds and denominations.

Invitation to Liberians

Sister Linda also extended an invitation to Liberians who may have become discouraged by their experiences with Christianity or organized religion.

She urged people not to make conclusions about the movement without hearing its message for themselves.

According to her, the objective is to help people understand the Christian faith more deeply and encourage them to live according to biblical principles.

“We are for everybody,” she said, describing HOREMOW’s non-denominational approach.

Pastor Rika similarly stressed that being associated with HOREMOW is not presented as an automatic guarantee of salvation.

Instead, he said the movement’s emphasis is on knowing biblical truth and practicing it.

Beyond the Conference

HOREMOW says its ministry extends beyond physical conferences and gatherings.

Pastor Rika said the movement has produced numerous books and teaching materials aimed at helping people understand biblical teachings.

He also directed listeners to the movement’s online messages, where sermons and teachings on righteousness, holiness and biblical truth are available.

According to him, the materials allow people to continue studying the movement’s teachings in their homes, workplaces and other settings.

He said the movement’s international outreach will continue as it seeks to reach more people with its message.

A Call for Spiritual Revival

For HOREMOW, the Liberia mission is ultimately about what its leaders describe as spiritual restoration.

Pastor Rika said the movement wants Christians to return to what he considers the foundational teachings of the Bible and to demonstrate their faith through righteous living.

The movement also concluded its ELBC appearance with prayers for Liberia, including prayers for the country’s people, young people, churches and national development.

The HOREMOW leadership prayed for peace and spiritual renewal, while asking that Christians across Liberia would return to what the movement describes as holiness and righteousness.

As the movement continues its outreach in Liberia, its central message remains clear: to know biblical truth, practice righteousness and pursue a life of holiness.

HOREMOW says it will continue taking that message to churches, communities and individuals as part of its international mission to promote Christian revival.
