THEME: BREAKING EVIL PATTERNS


MEMORISE: But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast

been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;  

2 Timothy 3:14


READ: Luke 11:21-26

21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:


22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.


23 He that Is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.


24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.


25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.


26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.


MESSAGE

Whenever demons get involved in people’s lives, they usually set up evil patterns in their lives that become difficult to break. Such patterns will become so strong that such people will feel helpless, even when they can see themselves heading towards destruction.


When you speak to people who are addicted to pornography or engage in a bad habit like smoking, you will often learn that the pattern started when things in their lives were beginning to look promising. The devil set up those evil patterns in the lives of his victims to ensure that they do not experience the things that God has in store for them. However, once the patterns are broken, they become free from his stronghold.


To break these evil patterns, it is important to ask the Holy Spirit for help. Today’s Bible reading tells us that only a stronger man can take things that are in the possession of a strong man. When a demon tries to introduce an evil pattern into the life of a believer, the Holy Spirit helps him or her to prevent it. Many people make the mistake of relying on their strength to fight off the devil; however, that does not work. Instead, they should engage in spiritual exercise that will cause them to be filled with the Holy Ghost. They can start worshipping God or praying in Tongues. As they do this, they will weaken the devil’s influence in their lives. They must, however, be willing to continue in this practice indefinitely. As they continue to do this, they will discover after a while that they have become so strong in the Holy Spirit, and the yoke has been broken over them. Isaiah 10:27 says that the yoke will be broken by reason of the anointing. 


Jesus said in today’s Bible reading that when a demon is cast out of a person, it will return to check the state of its former accommodation. If it finds the place clean and empty, it will repossess the person and invite seven worse Demons than itself to also come in. This means that if an evil pattern has been broken over the life of a believer, he or she must continually grow in God’s grace. Such a fellow must pray, fast, study the Scriptures, and fellowship with other believers consistently. The deeper such a fellow goes in Christ, the more assured he or she will be of a permanent victory over all forms of evil patterns.


KEY POINT

Fellowshipping with God is the key to breaking all evil that might exist in lives.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Haggai 1-2


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 27: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

1 What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer!


2 Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer!


3 Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge--

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield you;

you will find a solace there.

TOPIC: DIVINE TURNAROUND


MEMORISE

“When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.” - (Psalm 126:1)


READ: Matthew 17:14-18 (KJV)


14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,


15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.


16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.


17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.


18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.


MESSAGE


In 1984, a woman came to me from Oyo state in South-Western Nigeria for prayers concerning her finances. I told her, "Don't worry, God will provide for you. You can go home now." She said, "I cannot go home because I don't have the money to travel back." I didn't have much then either, but I divided the little money I had into two and gave her one half - this happened in June. By the following August, she came back and bought a big cow for the church's annual convention. God can turn people's stories around and make their lives better in a very short time.


Years ago, I heard the story of a woman who was barren. Her pastor had been praying with her for the fruit of the womb for several years, but nothing happened. Finally, the pastor called her and said, "All the other barren women that I have prayed for have already become mothers. Why is your case different?" The woman then told the pastor that when she was young, she got pregnant and tried to have an abortion, which failed. To save her life, the doctors removed her womb. The pastor asked, "Do you mean you have no womb?" The woman replied, "Yes". The pastor asked again, "Then why are you asking me to pray that you become pregnant?" The woman replied, "But you're the one who taught us that with God, nothing shall be impossible." From that day, the pastor began to avoid her. Anytime he saw the woman coming from one direction, he would walk away from her in the opposite direction. This went on for a while, and one day, the woman told herself, "It's alright. If the pastor is avoiding me, I will look unto God and take my eyes off him." That night, she had a dream in which she was standing naked in a room. A huge man came through the wall with the skin of an animal in his hand. She became so frightened that she couldn't move. When the man got to her, he wrapped the skin of the animal around her and disappeared. She woke up, shaking and sweating, but immediately, she knew that God had come to give her a new womb. Today, she is the mother of many beautiful children.


Beloved, Jesus is the master at turning negative situations around. If you are currently experiencing any negative situation in your life, I decree that God will give you a mighty turnaround, in Jesus' name. 


KEY POINT

God can turn any negative situation around to reflect His glory.

tongue Sweetest carol ever sung Jesus, Blessed Jesus.  


2. Your many sins are all forgiven, Oh, hear the voice of Jesus; Go on your way in peace to heaven, And wear a crown with Jesus. 


3. All glory to the dying Lamb! I now believe in Jesus; I love the blessed Saviour'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 precious name of Jesus.

MEMORISE

“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” - (Mark 11:23)


READ: James 1:5-7 (KJV)


5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.


6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.


7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.


MESSAGE


Today's Bible reading says that you should only ask God for things in faith. It further says that if you doubt, you should not expect to get anything from God. I know that some situations can look scary and tough, but if you want to live above those situations, you have to believe in God. In Matthew 14:28-29, Peter's faith was unwavering when he told Jesus, "...bid me come unto thee on the water." However, when he looked at the boisterous wind around him and stopped believing, he started to sink. No matter how tough things are, do not lose your faith.


When I got born again in The Redeemed Christian Church of God, I was extremely happy about my salvation, but I was very sickly. Every two weeks, I would be sick with malaria and would require medical treatment. At that time, whenever Christians talked about healing without medication, I did not believe them. I used to say, "You have shown me the way to heaven; don't send me there too quickly." Then, one day, I heard a testimony from an old man about how God miraculously healed him of a bent back, and immediately, my faith was aroused. I thank God that since that time, that faith has been getting stronger daily. If you want to see great miracles in your life, believe what God has said. If He has done mighty wonders before, He can do them again and again.


I once went to a Kenneth Hagin campmeeting in the United States of America and saw about 7,000 people in one convention. I had never seen anything like that before because, at that time, the entire congregation of The Redeemed Christian Church of God was less than 1,000. However, while on the plane back to Nigeria, I told those who went with me that, one day, our pastors alone would be more than 17,000. They didn't believe me. Today, God has surpassed my expectations. When you have faith in God, He sets you up to break records. He makes you a wonder unto many when you believe.


Science says prove it, and I will believe you. However, God says believe Me, then I will prove it. When God asks you to do something, believe Him. Don't try to add or remove from what He has said. Just believe, and He will do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). 


PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to believe everything Your word has said concerning me so I can experience Your glory, in Jesus' name. 


AUTHOR: Pastor E. A. Adeboye 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Habakkuk 1 - 3

 

HYMN 21 - MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS


1. My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and 

righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus name. 


CHORUS

On Christ, the solid Rock, I 

stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. 

 

2. When darkness seems to veil His face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, 

My anchor holds within the veil.


3.  His oath, His covenant, and blood, Support me in the whelming Hood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.

 

4. When He shall come with 

trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne.

THEME: WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET


MEMORISE: 

For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

Genesis 13:15


READ: Numbers 13:16-33

16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.


17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:


18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;


19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;


20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.


21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.


22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)


23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.


24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence


25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.


26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.


27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.


28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.


29 The amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.


30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.


31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.


32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.


33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.


MESSAGE

God and Abraham had a conversation one night in Genesis 15:3-6, and Abraham reminded God that He had not given him an heir in response, God told him to go outside and see if he could count the stars, He then told him that his children would be as many as the stars. You might wonder, “Why did God have to tell Abraham to go outside and look at the stars? Why didn’t He just tell him that his descendants would be so many that it would be impossible to count then?” I believe it was because God needed Abraham to see what he would be getting.


Similarly, in Genesis 13:14-17, God told Abraharn, “All the land you see shall be yours.” He also said, “Move away from where you are, walk through the land as far as you can, and it shall all be yours.” God knew that for Abraham to own the land, he had to first have a vision of it. In any situation you find yourself, what you see is what you will get. In an economy where people complain that things are tough, if you see poverty, that is what you will get; likewise, if you see abundance, you will experience it. In a situation where doctors say there is no hope, if you see life, you will have life. All you have to do is regulate your faith to see only what Jesus has promised you, and that is what you will get.


In today’s Bible reading, Moses sent the twelve spies to check out the land of Canaan, and they came back with reports. While Caleb and Joshua saw themselves inhabiting the land, the remaining ten spies saw giants and a land that swallowed up its inhabitants. Joshua and Caleb saw God’s mighty ability, but the others saw themselves as grasshoppers. In the end, everyone got what they saw. The ten spies were swallowed up in the wilderness while Joshua and Caleb got into the land and inhabited it (Numbers 32:11-12).


Beloved, what do you see in your life, marriage, or career? Whatever you see is what you will get. If you see victory, you will walk in it. However, if you see defeat, you will experience it. God wants you to see correctly, and the only way to do this is to know what He says in His word. What has God said about your home, children, career, health, and life? Believe His promises concerning you, and they shall come to pass.


KEY POINT

No matter the circumstances that surround you, stand by what God has promised in His word.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nahum 1-3


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

‎HYMN 11: STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

1 Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God


Chorus

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God.


2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.


3 Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

Standing on the promises of God.


4 Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

Standing on the promises of God.


5 Standing on the promises I shall not fall,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call.

Resting in my Savior as my All in all,

Standing on the promises of God.

TOPIC: ANSWER THE DOOR


MEMORISE

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” - (Revelation 3:20)


READ: John 10:27-28 (KJV)


27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:


28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.


MESSAGE


Today's memory verse says that Jesus is standing at the door of your heart right now, knocking and waiting for you to let Him in. Every time you hear a word from God that convicts you of sin, that is Jesus saying, "Let me into your heart so I can cleanse your heart of sin." You have no idea what Jesus Christ can do for you when you let Him into your heart. The moment you let Jesus in, your past will no longer determine your future - only Jesus will. With Jesus living in you, your future will only get brighter and brighter (Proverbs 4:18).


You may say, "I already let Jesus into my heart some time ago." That is good, but do you still get convicted of certain sins when you listen to a sermon or read your Bible? If yes, that means there are some parts of your life that Jesus hasn't taken over yet, and He is knocking on the door of your heart so you can let Him in. There is no partial salvation; Ephesians 5:27 says that Jesus is coming for a bride without blemish or wrinkle. If there's still a blemish in your life, surrender it completely to Jesus Christ today.


You may also say, "I have a good relationship with Jesus." However, there is more. David described a relationship with God as a journey into the deep. He said, "Deep calleth unto deep." (Psalm 42:7). After walking, eating, and talking with Jesus during His earthly ministry for three and a half years, John saw Him in a vision in Revelation 4:1, and Jesus told him, "...Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter." There are always higher realms in God, and Jesus is standing at the door of your heart, knocking and calling you to come up higher. It is not enough to just confess Jesus as your Lord and Saviour; there is more. God wants you to operate in His miraculous power (Mark 16:17-18). He wants you to be an agent of change, but you need the power of the Holy Spirit to do that. There will always be higher doors to enter and deeper realms to access in God.


Beloved, Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart today. He is calling you to higher and deeper levels in your relationship with Him. Open your heart to Him; He will beautify your life with His glory and make you an agent of change for His kingdom. 


PRAYER POINT

Lord Jesus, I open my heart to You. Please lead me into more glorious levels in You, in Jesus' name. 


AUTHOR: Pastor E. A. Adeboye


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Micah 5 - 7


HYMN 23 - TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE


1. Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to thee, 

Take my moment and my days, 

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.


2. Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of thy love, 

Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee.


3. Take my voice and let me sing always only for my king, Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from thee.


4. Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite would I withhold, Take my intellect, and use every power as thou shalt choose.


5. Take my will and make it Thine, 

It shall be no longer mine: 

Take my heart, it is Thine own; 

It shall be Thy royal throne, 


6. Take my Love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store; 

Take myself, and I will be ever only all for thee.

TOPIC: HAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED JESUS?


MEMORISE

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” - (John 1:1)


READ: Acts 9:1-6 (KJV)


1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,


2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.


3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:


4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?


5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.


6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.


MESSAGE


One can easily assume that everyone who attends church regularly or functions in a department within a church has encountered Jesus. However, in my experience, I have realised that many people are working hard in the Lord's vineyard but haven't had an encounter with Him. They know a lot about Him, but they don't know Him.


Paul thought he knew God until the day he had an encounter with Jesus Christ. When you truly meet Jesus, you will become a completely new person. Before Paul met Jesus, he persecuted believers. However, when he met Him, his story changed. In (1 Timothy 1:13-16), he spoke about his horrible past as a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an injurious person, and how he obtained mercy from God. In Christ, he became a Chief Apostle (2 Corinthians 11:5) and fulfilled his destiny (2 Timothy 4:6-7).


Peter was just another fisherman from Galilee before he met Jesus. However, when he met Jesus, he was given a glorious destiny (Luke 5:10). Even when he failed and denied Jesus, his future was still secure because of his encounter with Jesus. When a man meets Jesus, his failures and weaknesses become part of his success story because God works all things together for his good (Romans 8:28).


Isaiah thought he knew God until he had an encounter in Isaiah 6 that changed his life. When he saw the Lord in His glory, he fell on his face and cried, "...Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts" (Isaiah 6:5). After meeting the Lord, Isaiah was willing to go wherever the Lord sent Him. When you truly meet Jesus, all your excuses will be burnt away like chaff.


Beloved, if you genuinely want to meet Jesus, make it mandatory for yourself to study God's word every day. Revelation 19:13 says that He is the Word of God. When you study the word of God, you are fellowshipping with Jesus Christ. The more of God's word you study, the closer you will get to Him. It will be difficult at first because the devil will try to stop you, but as you keep at it, you will discover that you are being transformed because you are getting to know the Son of God for yourself. 


PRAYER POINT

Lord Jesus, please reveal yourself to me in Your word. I want to know You more and follow You for the rest of my life.

1.  Amazing grace! how sweet the sound! That saved a wretch like me;  I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. 


2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! 


3.  Through many dangers, toils, 

and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 


4.  Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the vail, A life of joy and peace.

MEMORISE

“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill.” - (Ecclesiastes 9:11)


READ: 1 Samuel 17:12-50 (KJV)


12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.


13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.


14 And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.


15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.


16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.


17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of thy brethren;


18 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.


19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.


20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.


21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.


22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.


23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.


24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.


25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.


26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?


27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.


28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.


29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?


30 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.


31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.


32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.


33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.


34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:


35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.


36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.


37 David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.


38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.


39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.


40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.


41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.


42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.


43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.


44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.


45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.


46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.


47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.


48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.


49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.


50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.


MESSAGE


There is a popular saying that good luck is when opportunity meets preparation - this is very true. A person can dream about achieving a particular feat, but if he or she does not prepare adequately towards this, when the opportunity comes, the fellow will be caught unawares and it will become obvious that he or she never prepared for it. In today's Bible reading, you will observe that David had been preparing himself for war while he was in the desert tending sheep. He had no weapons, but he continually trained until he mastered how to use a sling perfectly. His 'lucky day' came when he encountered Goliath and defeated him with just one swing of his sling.


So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. (1 Samuel 17:50)


Unlike David, Rehoboam wasn't prepared for the throne of Israel. Although he was the son of King Solomon, who many consider to be Israel's wisest king, he was very foolish. He was the heir to the throne, and it would have been expected that he would have been preparing for the day he would become king. Unfortunately, he wasn't prepared for something that he knew was coming, and he failed (2 Chronicles 10:1-19).


When a student knows that a school examination is coming and he or she doesn't prepare, such a student can be said to be foolish. As a member of staff in an organisation, when a fellow knows that there will be regular performance appraisals and doesn't do his or her job well, that fellow is foolish and cannot be promoted. If a pastor who knows that he or she will preach a message on Sunday does not fast, pray, or study for the message, he or she is the devil hindering his or her own growth. When the time for a big breakthrough comes in your life, I pray that you will be prepared, in Jesus' name.


Today's memory verse says that time and chance happens to every human being on the earth. This means that every human being on the earth will have opportunities to advance in life. However, only those who are prepared will recognise those opportunities when they come and maximise them.


Beloved, you must continuously increase your capacity, especially in areas you are seeking advancement so that when opportunities come your way, you will be prepared to make the best of them. 


REFLECTION

What are you doing now to prepare for the day your big opportunity comes?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Jonah 1 - 4


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;

Grant to us now a refreshing,

Come and now honor Thy Word. 


4 There shall be showers of blessing:

Oh, that today they might fall,

Now as to God we're confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!

So, share, but don't share His glory with Him in the process.
