TOPIC: CHRISTIAN INDEED?

MEMORISE:

“But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” - (James 1:25)

READ: JAMES 1:21-27 (KJV)

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

26 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.

27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

MESSAGE:

There is a difference between being called a Christian and actually being a Christian. Many people identify as Christians but don't reflect Christ in their lives. Going to church, working in a church, fasting, and praying can all be mere religious activities if you don't reflect Christ in your daily life. Some people grew up in the church and are used to Christian religious activities but actually live in sin like unbelievers. The way to really know if you have Christ in you is through the changes that have happened in your life since you became born again. If after two years, for example, the Holy Spirit has not influenced a change in some of your character traits, then you have probably just been playing religion.

Some people pray for hours, yet they lie habitually. Some even work miracles, yet they have unforgiveness in their hearts. While activities such as praying, fasting, evangelising, and so on are important, you must not forget the most important thing - being like Christ. All those activities are a means to an end and not the end in themselves.

Child of God, if you want to truly be like Christ, soak yourself in the word of God by studying your Bible diligently. When you study the Bible, you are fellowshipping with Christ Himself because He is the Word (John 1:1). John 17:17 says that sanctification comes by the word, Ephesians 5:26 says that we are cleansed by the word, and Psalm 119:11 teaches us that when we keep God’s word in our hearts, it will keep us from sinning against Him. True transformation happens when you fellowship with God through His word. James 1:23 likens God's word to a mirror. When people check themselves in a mirror, they don't do it for mere formality but because they want to check their appearance and make changes or adjustments where necessary. When you study God's word, your desire should be for Him to transform your thoughts, attitudes, and character through the power in His word. If you were short-tempered before you started reading the Bible, God's word should take away your angry nature and transform you into a patient and calm fellow. If you were sad and sorrowful, His word should take away that garment of heaviness and replace it with praise and joy (Isaiah 61:3).

Beloved, you must allow God's word to dwell richly in you in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16) so that you will not just be a religious fellow but a Christian indeed. 

 PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to keep Your word in my heart and live according to Your will at all times, in Jesus' name.

AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 

HYMN: 24 - I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS 

1 I want to be like Jesus,

So lowly and so meek;

For no one marked an angry word

That ever heard him speak.

Refrain:

I want to be like Jesus,

God's well beloved Son;

I want to be like Jesus,

The pure and holy One.

2 I want to be like Jesus,

So frequently in prayer;

Alone upon the mountain top,

He met his Father there. 

3 I want to be like Jesus,

Engaged in doing good,

So that of me it may be said,

He hath done what he could. 

4 Alas! I'm not like Jesus,

As any one may see;

Thy gentle Spirit, Savior, send,

And make me like to thee.

TOPIC: THE HUSBANDMAN

MEMORISE:

“And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?” - (Luke 12:42)

READ: MATTHEW 24:45-47 (KJV)

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

MESSAGE:

A husbandman is someone who tills the ground and takes care of crops. In church, the husbandmen are the workers who ensure that everything goes well in Christ’s vineyard. When worship rises to God from His vineyard, He pours down blessings, and the first partakers are usually the husbandmen (2 Timothy 2:6).

When I joined The Redeemed Christian Church of God, the workers in the church were called Children of God. This is because it is children who ensure that everything goes well in their father's house; only visitors come and go without care. Hence, no good father will see his children hungry and prefer to feed strangers; children are usually the first partakers of a household's blessings. When a Canaanite woman came to Jesus, pleading with Him to heal her demon-possessed daughter, He told her that it was not fair to give what belongs to the children to dogs (Matthew 15:26). Some privileges belong to children alone, and similarly, only God's children who worship and serve Him wholeheartedly have access to special privileges from Him.

In (2 Timothy 2:6), the Bible says that the husbandman who labours should be the first partaker of the fruits. This implies that there are some husbandmen who do not labour. God expects certain things from husbandmen. First of all, He expects them to be diligent as they tend to the responsibilities that He has given them in His vineyard. These can be within a department in the church - it can be arranging the chairs, washing the toilets, taking care of children, or serving as ushers. If you are a husbandman, whatever your duty is, do it diligently. When you labour diligently, you will be a first partaker of the fruits of God's blessings.

God also expects faithfulness from husbandmen (1 Corinthians 4:2). When God gives you a task, He wants you to do it faithfully. Being faithful is proving yourself worthy of trust. It also involves managing resources efficiently. When you are faithful, God can trust you with people, ideas, and resources; He can trust you to do His will. When you are faithful in the little God gives you, He will trust you with more (Luke 16:10-11).

Beloved, ensure that you labour diligently and faithfully as a husbandman in God's vineyard so you can be a first partaker of His blessings. If you are not yet a worker in your local assembly, now is the time to take up some responsibilities in your church. 

 KEY POINT:

To be a first partaker of God's blessings, you must serve Him diligently and faithfully as a husbandman in His vineyard. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: PROVERBS 21-23

HYMN: 4 - TO THE WORK! TO THE WORK! WE ARE SERVANTS OF GOD 

1 To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,

Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;

With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew,

Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.

Refrain:

Toiling on, toiling on,

Toiling on, toiling on:

Let us hope, let us watch,

And labor till the Master comes.

2 To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;

To the fountain of life let the weary be led;

In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,

While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!" 

3 To the work! to the work! there is labor for all;

For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall;

And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be,

In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!" 

4 To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,

And a robe and a crown shall our labor reward;

When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be,

And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!"

TOPIC: BE MODERATE IN ALL THINGS

MEMORISE

“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.” - (1 Corinthians 6:12)

READ: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 (KJV)

12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

MESSAGE

In today's memory verse, Paul said that although all things were lawful unto him, he would not be controlled by any earthly thing. Paul went further to say in (1 Corinthians 9:25) that believers should be temperate in all things. These Bible verses show that God has a standard for everything His children do, including how they talk, dress, and relate with others. Unfortunately, many believers have allowed social media, people's opinions, and societal trends to set the standards for how they dress, eat, sleep, and even worship God.

The devil will always try to use people's desires to destroy them. It is not a sin to like some material things, but you must put your fondness for them under control. For example, Samson's uncontrollable desire for sex eventually led to his downfall (Judges 16:1-31).

Beloved, even if the material things you like are legitimate and good, you must still put your fondness for them under control. The things that you consider good and legitimate can lead to sin when they exceed lawful bounds. For example, although there is nothing wrong with eating good food, gluttony, which is excessive eating, is a sin because it goes against the divine instruction to be temperate in all things (1 Corinthians 9:25). For many people, their excessive eating has led them to poverty (Proverbs 23:21).

As a child of God, you must be moderate in all aspects of life. You must be moderate in your speech because when you talk too much, you are bound to sin (Proverbs 10:19). For example, when the rich fool's business prospered exceedingly, he became so excited that he began to talk too much, showcasing the pride in his heart and this led to his untimely death (Luke 12:16-20). You must also be moderate in your appearance. It is good to dress well; however, focusing excessively on fashion and being driven by every fad is a sign of spiritual immaturity. Believers are admonished to set their affection on things above and not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:1-2).

Beloved, to live in moderation, you must have self-control. Solomon said that a fellow who has no rule over his own spirit is like a broken-down city that has no walls (Proverbs 25:28). You must make no provision for the flesh to fulfil its lusts (Romans 13:14). When you walk in the Spirit and set your heart on things above, you will not fulfil the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16, Colossians 3:2), rather you will live a moderate life that will be pleasing to God. 

REFLECTION

Are there areas of your life in which you are not living moderately?

HYMN 31 - YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION

1. Yield not to temptation,

CHORUS

He will carry you through. 

2. Shun evil companions, 

Bad language disdain; God's name hold in reverence, Nor take it in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest, Kindhearted and true; Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. 

3. to him that overcometh God giveth a crown; through faith we will conquer, though often cast down; he who is our saviour our strength will renew; look ever to Jesus, he'll carry you through.

17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

8. Father, please give the elders who are not yet born again an encounter that will reveal Your perfect love and salvation. Help them to give their lives completely to You, in Jesus’ name.

9. Father, please preserve the lives of the elders; let them enjoy the fruits of their good deeds in peace and joy until You call them home, in Jesus’ name.

10. Lord, please preserve the good legacy of the elders. Help them to raise younger people who will continue with their good works when they are gone.

11. Father, please give me the resources to take care of the elders around me. Help me to be a blessing to them, in Jesus’ name.

12. Your personal prayer points for the elders around you, in your local assembly, and across the world.

HYMNAL 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

that calls me from a world of care,

and bids me at my Father’s throne

make all my wants and wishes known.

In seasons of distress and grief,

my soul has often found relief,

and oft escaped the tempter’s snare

by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

the joys I feel, the bliss I share

of those whose anxious spirits burn

with strong desires for thy return!

With such I hasten to the place

where God my Savior shows his face,

and gladly take my station there,

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

thy wings shall my petition bear

to him whose truth and faithfulness

engage the waiting soul to bless.

And since he bids me seek his face,

believe his word, and trust his grace,

I’ll cast on him my every care,

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

TOPIC: THE POWER OF THE HOLY COMMUNION

MEMORIZE:

"Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye." Colossians 3:13 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: JOHN 6:53-58

53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

MESSAGE:

Years ago, a woman was sick, and the doctors could not find out what was wrong with her.

Finally, she said, “Take me to the Holy Ghost Service.” She was brought the day before the service so she could be seated right in front during the Holy Ghost Service. Since she had been brought a day earlier, she attended the Holy Communion Service, which is always held on the eve of every Holy Ghost Service.

She took the communion, and after the programme, she was helped back into the car she came in. As she sat in the car, she suddenly noticed many ants coming out of her body and dropping dead. She looked down and saw that the car was full of dead ants, even though there were no ants outside the car. She was totally healed that same night!

The Holy Communion is a sacred meal, but it is also a very dangerous meal. This is because there is mighty power in the blood and body of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb…” If you drink the blood of the lamb worthily, you will indeed have a testimony.

However, if you harbour anger and bitterness against your fellow brother and take the Holy Communion, you may die. If you eat the bread worthily, it can heal, and if you drink the wine worthily, it can deliver.

A woman was once possessed by a demon who was always talking with the voice of a man, blaspheming God and saying horrible things about Jesus Christ. She didn’t know how the demon entered her or how to get rid of it. She came to one of our services, and anytime she tried to pray, the demon would want to take over her voice to say horrible things about God.

When it was time for the Holy Communion, she heard me say, “When you eat the bread, which is the body of Christ, you will be healed. When you drink the wine, you will get victory over the devil.” The demon in her screamed, “Don’t you dare drink that wine.” She began to rejoice, and the moment she took the wine, the demon screamed, left, and never returned.

Beloved, the Holy Communion is powerful, and you should ensure you partake of it as prescribed by Jesus Christ. However, you must avoid unforgiveness, bitterness, and any form of sin if you don’t want its power to work against you.

KEY POINT:

There is mighty power in the blood and body of Jesus Christ.

Sweetest name on mortal tongue;

Sweetest carol ever sung,

Jesus, blessed Jesus.

2 Your many sins are all forgiv’n,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;

Go on your way in peace to heav’n,

And wear a crown with Jesus.

3 All glory to the dying Lamb!

I now believe in Jesus;

I love the blessed Savior’s name,

I love the name of Jesus.

4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,

No other name but Jesus;

Oh, how my soul delights to hear

The charming name of Jesus.

DATE: WEDNESDAY JULY 2ND 2025

TOPIC: ACCORDING TO YOUR CAPACITY II

MEMORISE:

“I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.” - (Psalm 119:32)

READ: EXODUS 23:29-30 (KJV)

29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

MESSAGE:

Many years ago, someone suddenly walked up to me as I entered into a room and held my hand, saying, “I receive a double portion of the anointing.” I gently brushed the fellow off me as I thought to myself, "This is not how to receive the anointing.” Even if I were to lay hands on someone to impart the anointing to him or her, what will determine the working of the anointing in the fellow’s life will be his or her spiritual capacity.

Those who will walk in a measure of the anointing must engage in some things according to God's leading. They must consecrate themselves as led by God; if not, God will lift the anointing off them because the anointing attracts spirits. If a fellow carries a measure of the anointing and doesn't embrace the consecrations that are attached to it, the anointing will do more harm than good to the fellow.

Many years ago, I didn't fast the way I normally would have done before a particular Holy Ghost Service. During the service, I ministered with the anointing all through the night because God had already given it to me. However, after I retired to my room in the early hours of the morning, I could hardly stand up from the bed. The best way I can describe what happened to me is that my bones were like rubber. I had to beg God to give me the ability to at least attend the next meeting I had that afternoon. Fasting was not what I needed to flow in the anointing, but without fasting, the anointing could have really harmed me. God will not let you walk in the anointing that will be bigger than your capacity because it will destroy you.

If you want more of the anointing, then you must expand your spiritual capacity. God will not place a heavier weight of the anointing on a fellow beyond what he or she can manage. As a good Father, He doesn't want His gift to become the reason for anyone's destruction, so He would rather not give it. Having consistent fellowship with God is the key to building and enlarging your spiritual capacity. The closer you are to God, the bigger your spiritual capacity becomes.

Beloved, as we see in today's Bible reading, God requires His children to grow so that He can give them more of what He has already prepared for them. Build your spiritual capacity to carry a greater measure of the anointing; consistently spend quality time in God's presence and live a holy life. 

 KEY POINT:

To grow your spiritual capacity, you must fellowship with God regularly and obey His instructions.

HYMNAL: 12 - ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!

1 Onward, Christian soldiers,

marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

going on before!

Christ, the royal Master,

leads against the foe;

Forward into battle,

see his banner go!

Refrain:

Onward, Christian soldiers,

marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

going on before!

2 At the sign of triumph

Satan's host doth flee;

On, then, Christian soldiers,

on to victory!

Hell's foundations quiver

at the shout of praise;

Brothers, lift your voices,

loud your anthems raise! 

3 Like a mighty army

moves the church of God;

Brothers, we are treading

where the saints have trod;

We are not divided;

all one body we,

One in hope and doctrine,

one in charity. 

4 Onward, then, ye people,

join our happy throng,

Blend with ours your voices

in the triumph song;

Glory, laud, and honor,

unto Christ the King;

This thro' countless ages

men and angels sing.

DATE: TUESDAY JULY 1ST 2025

TOPIC: ACCORDING TO YOUR CAPACITY 1

MEMORISE:

"Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all." - (Galatians 4:1)

READ: GALATIANS 4:1-2 (KJV)

1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

MESSAGE:

Many people ask God for blessings; however, if God answers many of them at the time of their requests, the miracles may destroy them. For example, a responsible father, even if he is a billionaire, will decline the request of his four-year-old son to drive one of his cars because the boy cannot handle a car at such a young age. Similarly, God only gives His children blessings they can handle and blessings that wouldn’t destroy them. Beloved, you must expand your capacity so you can accommodate the blessings you are asking God for. If a believer wants to be the president of a nation but cannot effectively manage the people and resources within a department as the Head of Department, the fellow will be a disaster waiting to happen if he or she becomes the nation's president at that moment. As a president, there are greater consequences for mismanagement; therefore, to save such a believer from them, God will not allow him or her to become the president at that moment.

When God calls people and shows them His vision for their lives, He always takes them through a process to prepare them for the vision He has shown them. When God showed Joseph that he would become a leader (Genesis 37:5-10), He took him through 13 years of training to prepare him. In those years, Joseph found himself in different leadership positions that prepared him for the place God was taking him to (Genesis 39:1-4,21-23). If he had become the leader of Egypt immediately after he had his dreams, he would have been inexperienced and incapable of making the wise decisions he made.

At 40, Moses knew what God wanted him to do, but because he had not developed the capacity to execute his assignment, he went about it the wrong way (Exodus 2:11-15). God had to withdraw him from Egypt and redeploy him into the wilderness to learn patience and wisdom as he took care of his father-in-law's sheep (Exodus 3:1). Likewise, David started as a shepherd boy and went through God's preparation process for 13 years after Samuel anointed him as Israel's king.

Beloved, train yourself to be the kind of person who can handle the blessings you are asking God for. Submit to God's process, and allow Him to help you build your capacity and eliminate the weaknesses that can hinder you from fulfilling His vision for your life. 

 REFLECTION:

Do you have the capacity to handle the blessings you are asking God for? 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: PROVERBS 4-7

AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 

HYMN: 28 - GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH 

1 Guide me, O my great Redeemer,

pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but you are mighty;

hold me with your powerful hand.

Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,

feed me now and evermore,

feed me now and evermore.

2 Open now the crystal fountain,

where the healing waters flow.

Let the fire and cloudy pillar

lead me all my journey through.

Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,

ever be my strength and shield,

ever be my strength and shield.

3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,

bid my anxious fears subside.

Death of death, and hell's Destruction,

land me safe on Canaan's side.

Songs of praises, songs of praises

I will ever sing to you,

I will ever sing to you.

DATE: MONDAY JUNE 30TH 2025

TOPIC: PURPOSE

MEMORISE:

“For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.” - (Acts 13:36)

READ: ISAIAH 46:10-11 (KJV)

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

MESSAGE:

Before you were born, there was a specific task that God had earmarked for you as an individual. Jeremiah 1:5 made this clear:

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

God placed you in the family you were born into for a purpose. He put you where you can fulfil His original purpose for your life. I pray that God will speak to you concerning your purpose and why He has put you in the family you were born into.

Everyone has a specific purpose for which they were born into a family, state, and country. For example, in Exodus 3:1-12, God specifically told Moses, "Your purpose is to bring my people out of Egypt to come and worship me on this mountain." In Joshua 1:1-8, God told Joshua that it was his assignment to divide the land among His people. In (1 Kings 19:19-21), He let Elisha know, "What you have been doing thus far is farming, and you are doing well, but the work I have for you is to be my prophet."

When you stop focusing on money and you begin to do what God put you on the earth to do, you will not only get money, but you will also get much more than that. When Elisha took an early retirement from farming and became a prophet, the result was found in (2 Kings 4:12-13). He became so influential that he could say to the Shunammite woman, "Do you want me to talk to the king or the commander-in-chief for you? Whom do you want me to talk to for you?" You must trust God that He will not put you in this world to suffer. Once you have discovered His purpose for your life, start walking in it because that is how you can find fulfilment and all-round joy. He said in Jeremiah 29:11:

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

It is God's will that you should know His specific purpose for your life and walk in it. If you are yet to know His purpose for your life, go before Him in prayers today and ask Him. He will reveal it to you and give you the grace to walk in it, in Jesus' name. 

 PRAYER POINT:

Father, show me Your purpose for my life and help me never to stray from it, in Jesus’ name. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  PROVERBS 1-3

AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 

HYMN: 10 - IN CHRIST ALONE 

1 In Christ alone my hope is found;

He is my light, my strength, my song;

this Cornerstone, this solid ground,

firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace

when fears are stilled, when strivings cease;

my Comforter, my All in All;

here in the love of Christ I stand.

2 In Christ alone who took on flesh;

fullness of God in helpless babe.

This gift of love and righteousness

scorned by the ones He came to save;

'til on that cross as Jesus died

the wrath of God was satisfied;

for ev'ry sin on Him was laid;

here in the death of Christ I live.

3 There in the ground His body lay;

Light of the world by darkness slain.

Then bursting forth in glorious day,

up from the grave He rose again!

And as He stands in victory,

sin's curse has lost its grip on me;

for I am His and He is mine,

bought with the precious blood of Christ!

4 No guilt in life, no fear in death;

this is the pow'r of Christ in me.

From life's first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man

can ever pluck me from His hand;

'til He returns or calls me home,

here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand!

TOPIC: COVENANT PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD

MEMORISE

“And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts.” - (2 Chronicles 6:14)

READ: 2 Kings 4:8-37 (KJV)

8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

9 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

14 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

16 And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

17 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

18 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

19 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

22 And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.

25 So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:

27 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

30 And the mother of the child said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

32 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord.

34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

35 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

MESSAGE

In today's Bible reading, the Shunamite woman sowed into Elisha's life continuously until he was inspired to find out what he could give her in return. Eventually, she got a blessing that transformed her life. I learnt from this story that if you bless a genuine man of God, you have entered into a covenant partnership with God, and you won't have to pray about some of your needs before God meets them.

We have a group in RCCG called Covenant Partners. These are people who quietly lift up my hands financially. I meet with them once every year, and at one particular meeting, I was led by the Holy Spirit to say, "Those of you who have been lifting up my hands, if there is any of you in debt, God will pay your debt." One man among them shouted "Amen" loudly. He was about 50 years old and was heavily in debt. The following week, the bank that he owed called him to meet the Managing Director. The MD asked him, "Sir, how are you going to pay off this debt? Give us a plan so we know what to work with." He looked at the MD and said, "Even if I pay you a million naira for every day that I have lived, I can't finish paying this debt." To his surprise, the bank later informed him that the loan had been written off. I pray that my Father, who owns the cattle upon a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), will do exceedingly abundantly above your wildest imaginations, in Jesus' name.

Abraham understood covenant partnership with God. After he went to war against the five kings who fought against Sodom and Gomorrah and conquered them, he gave Melchizedek, the priest of the Most High God, the tithes of all (Genesis 14:18-20). This covenant partnership shifted Abraham into an unprecedented realm of abundance such that when he was old, the Bible said God had blessed him in all things (Genesis 24:1). Joshua's service to Moses positioned him as God's choice to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land (Exodus 33:11, Joshua 1:1-2). Also, Elisha's service to Elijah made him a candidate for a double portion of the anointing (2 Kings 2:1-15).

Beloved, God wants you to come into a covenant partnership with Him through the genuine spiritual leaders He has placed over you. Honour them by giving to them and supporting them, and like the great woman of Shunem, God will meet your needs even before you ask Him. 

ACTION POINT

Commit to blessing a genuine minister of God and meeting some needs in your local assembly today.

Psalms 141 - 150 

HYMN 26 - THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING

1 There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.

REFRAIN

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need:

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

2 There shall be showers of blessing,

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain. 

3 There shall be showers of blessing:

Send them upon us, O Lord;

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: SATURDAY JUNE 28TH 2025

TOPIC: COMMANDING YOUR MIRACLE

MEMORISE:

“His mother said unto the servants, Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.” - (John 2:5)

READ: JOHN 2:1-12 (KJV)

1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

9 When 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,

10 And 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.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

MESSAGE:

Today's Bible reading tells us the story of the wedding in Cana of Galilee. When wine finished at the wedding, Mary informed Jesus about it, expecting Him to provide a solution. However, Jesus replied that His time had not yet come. Mary must have smiled and said to herself, "Son, your time will come tonight." She told the men confidently, "Do whatever He asks you to do," and before the end of the day, 'not yet' became 'now'.

You can also command a miracle from God. You can pray in such a way that you will know that God has heard and your miracle is on the way. Jabez was a man who prayed such a prayer. For many years, he was labelled as a cause of pain and sorrow until he said, "Enough is enough." He called on God to turn his situation around, and He granted his request.

And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. (1 Chronicles 4:10)

We don't know how long Jabez prayed for, but we know the result of his prayer: God turned his story around. In the name above every other name, whatever you have long waited for will come speedily.

To command your miracle, you must know how to engage in fervent prayers and be persistent with them. James said that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much (James 5:16). During a Holy Ghost Service at Redemption City, I waved my hands as I stood on the altar, and miracles started happening. It is possible for some pastors who saw that happen to wonder, "Why can't I also wave and have miracles happen? I serve the same God this man serves; I also pray and fast regularly." However, they may not know that before that day, I had been praying that miracles should happen just at the wave of my hands for about fifteen years. Some of the things people see happening now in RCCG are the result of my persistence with God in the place of prayers.

Beloved, don't be tired of waiting on God. Command your miracles by remaining persistent in the place of prayer. As you pray, take heed to the Holy Spirit's instructions. Obey them, and you will receive your miracle before long. 

 PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to remain persistent in the place of prayer, in Jesus' name. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: PSALMS 134-140

HYMN: 15 - PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOUR 

1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

do not pass me by.

Refrain:

Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;

while on others Thou art calling,

do not pass me by.

2 Let me at a throne of mercy

find a sweet relief,

kneeling there in deep contrition;

help my unbelief. 

3 Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face;

heal my wounded, broken spirit,

save me by Thy grace. 

4 Thou, the Spring of all my comfort,

more than life to me;

Whom have I on earth beside Thee?

Whom in heav'n but Thee?

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E A ADEBOYE

 OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: FRIDAY JUNE 27TH 2025

THEME: UNDER HIS COVER

MEMORIZE:

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 

Psalm 91:1

READ: Psalms 91:1-16

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

MESSAGE:

When a fellow or organization is under an insurance cover, the insurance Company must ensure that such a fellow or organization is duly compensated for any losses that have been provided for under the insurance cover. However, unlike insurance covers, God's cover is absolute because it totally prevents evil from happening.

Everyone is under God's general cover, whether they are born again or not. In Matthew 5:45, the Bible says that God makes the sun to rise on the evil and the good and the rain to fall on the just and the unjust. If unbelievers are not under God's general cover, they wouldn't even be able to breathe. When unbelievers receive a miracle, it is always on credit, and it is a sign that God loves them and wants to be their Father.

There are, however, some special covers that are for God's children only. For example, Jesus said in Mark 7:27 that healing is the children's bread. Likewise, protection against evil forces can only happen when a fellow is in Jesus' camp. Colossians 1:13 says that God has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. If anyone really wants to live under the special cover of the Almighty God, He or she must be His child indeed.

As with insurance companies, believers must pay a premium to abide under God's cover. Anyone who subscribes to an insurance package must pay his or her dues regularly to have access to the full benefits. For example, if someone subscribes to a car insurance plan and opts for a monthly payment plan but pays only once a year, such a person will not enjoy the benefits of the policy if the car becomes damaged. To fully enjoy the benefits of insurance, subscribers must fulfil their part.

Beloved, your access to God's special cover is an intimate relationship with Him. This means that you must study your Bible and pray daily, fellowship with other brethren, and serve God wholeheartedly. Many Christians have fallen victim to the devil because they lost their spiritual sensitivity after staying far from God for a long time. It is in your constant fellowship with God that you remain under His special cover. Are you abiding in His secret place, or have you been going in and out? If you want to enjoy the full benefits of being under God's cover, you must constantly remain in His presence.

REFLECTION:

Have you been dwelling in the secret place of the Most High?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Psalms 120-133

AUTHOR:  PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

HYMN 19: ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME

1.  Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood,

From Thy riven side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure,

Save me from its guilt and power.

2.  Not the labor of my hands

Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;

Could my zeal no respite know,

Could my tears forever flow,

All could never sin erase,

Thou must save, and save by grace.

3.  Nothing in my hands I bring,

Simply to Thy cross I cling;

Naked, come to Thee for dress,

Helpless, look to Thee for grace:

Foul, I to the fountain fly,

Wash me, Savior, or I die.

4.  While I draw this fleeting breath,

When mine eyes shall close in death,

When I soar to worlds unknown,

See Thee on Thy judgment throne,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee

 OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 2025

TOPIC: THE SOURCE OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE

MEMORISE

“For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.” - (Proverbs 2:6)

READ: Isaiah 33:5-6 (KJV)

5 The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.

MESSAGE

Wisdom and knowledge are very important in the life of every human being. They are so important that Proverbs 4:7 says:

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Wisdom is the correct application of knowledge. If you have everything in this world and also have vast knowledge about many things but fail to apply the knowledge correctly, you are still in lack. Hosea 4:6 says:

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

The Scripture above tells us that God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; that is how important wisdom and knowledge are. The question now is, how can you get wisdom and knowledge? To answer this question, we should first and foremost identify the source of wisdom and knowledge. Daniel 2:20 tells us that wisdom and might belong to God. James 1:5 also tells us that God is the One who gives wisdom, while Colossians 2:3 says wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. God is clearly the only source of wisdom; He is the only wise God (1 Timothy 1:17).

During my postgraduate studies at the University of Lagos, my research supervisor travelled out of the country for a while. Before he travelled, he gave me a very difficult assignment. By the time he came back and saw how much progress I had made within the short period he was away, he looked at me and said, "Enoch, I know you're a Christian, and you won't lie to me. What I am seeing could not have been done by you alone, so tell me, who helped you?" Even though my supervisor knew that Christians do not lie, he was Hindu and didn't believe in Jesus Christ. Hence, if I had told him that Jesus Christ helped me, he wasn't going to take me seriously. So, I said to him, "Professor Emmanuel helped me." However, I got into trouble when he asked, "Professor Emmanuel? Of which department?"

The best professors in the world are only experts in a few disciplines because man is limited in wisdom and knowledge. However, God knows all academic subjects and everything else in the world. When you partner with Him, He will grant you access to unusual depths of wisdom and knowledge that will help you live an excellent life. 

KEY POINT

When you connect and partner with God, you will have access to unusual wisdom and knowledge.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Psalm 119

HYMN 8 - I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1. I need thee every hour most gracious Lord; no tender voice like thine can peace afford.

CHORUS 

I need thee, oh, I need thee; every hour I need thee! Oh, bless me now my saviour; I come to thee!

2. I need thee every hour, stay thou near by; temptations lose their power when thou art nigh.

3. I need thee every hour in joy or pain; come quickly and abide or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour 

Teach me Thy will; And Thy rich promises In me fulfill. 

5. I need Thee every hour, 

Most Holy one; Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son!
