TOPIC: REVERSING OPPORTUNITIES

MEMORISE

That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. - (Deuteronomy 30:3)

READ: John 21:15-19 (KJV)

15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

MESSAGE

It is popularly said that an opportunity lost can never be regained. However, this can only be true when God decides to be silent about such opportunities. The moment God gets involved, lost opportunities can be regained.

In the 1960s, I was a games master at a school called Okeigbo/lfetedo Grammar School. The school received an invitation to participate in a competition in Akure, one of the state capitals in Western Nigeria, and I got talking with the host school's games master during the competition. Sometime later, I was admitted into the University of Lagos for my Master's degree, and I applied to the Federal Government for a scholarship. When a year passed without a response from the Federal Government, I assumed that I didn't get the scholarship, and I continued paying the fees myself. One day, while walking on the university campus, I saw the games master I had met in Akure over a year earlier. We got talking again, and he told me that he was now working with the Federal Ministry of Education. Then I said to him, "I applied for a scholarship with your ministry, and I did not get any response." He then told me that he remembered my application because I was the only one who applied for a postgraduate scholarship in mathematics. He said it was a unanimous decision to grant me the scholarship, and that the interview would have been a formality. To cut the story short, he said that he would see what he could do about it, and we parted ways. Two weeks later, I got a letter from the Federal Ministry of Education granting me a full scholarship that was backdated to the day I started my Master's programme. I decree that any good opportunity that you thought had been lost forever will be restored by the Almighty God, in Jesus' name.

In Matthew 26:69-75, Peter had the opportunity to stand for Christ; however, he lost it when he denied the Lord thrice. He was so heartbroken that he decided to return to fishing (John 21:3). However, Jesus stepped in and gave him another opportunity, as we see in today's Bible reading. After the Lord's intervention, the same man, who denied Jesus three times, boldly faced the rulers who killed the Lord and told them that he would not stop speaking about Him (Acts 4:8-13).

Beloved, have you lost valuable opportunities in the past? Ask God for mercy, and He will restore you and help you regain such opportunities. 

PRAYER POINT

Father, please give me a second chance and restore every good opportunity I have lost, in Jesus' name.

HYMN 2 - AMAZING GRACE

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.

God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: REVERSING TIME

MEMORISE

And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: - (Daniel 2:21)

READ: Joshua 10:1-14 (KJV)

1 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

2 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.

3 Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem, sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.

6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.

8 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.

10 And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

12 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.

MESSAGE

God controls times and seasons, as we see in today's memory verse. As I mentioned yesterday, He is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending (Revelation 1:8). This means that He is in charge of the past, present, and future. If He wants, He can stop time like He did in today's Bible reading, where He stopped the sun from setting. God is Almighty, and He can reverse the effect of time on a person or situation.

Many years ago, as I approached my 60th birthday, I became concerned that I was growing old, and it seemed like I was still very far from completing the assignment that God had given me. My children were really excited as they wanted to celebrate my 60th birthday with me; however, I was groaning and crying to God in prayers. I still remember the spot where I was, around 2am one morning, praying and asking Him for help. I told Him that I still had so much to do, and the sun seemed to be setting on my life already. God responded, saying, "Son, I decide when the sun sets." Those words completely put my heart at rest. As you are reading this, I pray that the Lord will prove Himself mighty in your life.

In Isaiah 38:1-8, Prophet Isaiah told King Hezekiah that God would heal him and add 15 years to his time on earth. He also told him that God would give him a sign to prove this to him:

Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. - (Isaiah 38:8)

Beloved, God can bring something from your past into your present. He can bring an opportunity that you think you have lost forever back to you. In Genesis 18:9-14, when God said to Abraham, "Tell your wife that she will have a son," Sarah laughed. She laughed because it was humanly impossible for a woman of her age to conceive a child. However, God rebuked her and made her realise that He can restore what seems to be gone forever. I pray for you today that God will reverse time for your sake, and every good opportunity that seems to have been lost forever will be restored to you, in Jesus' name. 

PRAYER POINT

Father, please reverse time for my sake and restore all the good opportunities that I have lost, in Jesus' name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

1 Kings 8 - 9

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 

Ev'rything to God in prayer. Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear- All because we do not carry Ev'rything 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 ev'ry weakness, 

Take it to the Lord in prayer. 

3. Are we weak and heavy laden, 

Cumbered with a load of care? 

Precious Saviour, still our refuge, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.

God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE

MEMORISE:

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. - (Psalm 46:1)

BIBLE READING: EZEKIEL 37:1-10 (KJV)

1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

MESSAGE:

God has many attributes. He is called the Almighty (Genesis 17:1), which means that He has all might and power and can do all things. In Jeremiah 32:27, He is called the God of all flesh to whom nothing is too difficult. Isaiah 40:28 tells us that He is the Everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. Psalm 115:3 says that our God is in the heavens and does as He pleases. In Revelation 1:8, He is called Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. He is also called the One who was, is, and is to come. This means that in Him, the past, the present, and the future come together. He is the Almighty who reverses the irreversible.

A man once had problems with one of his kidneys and was spending #200,000 weekly on dialysis. For a kidney problem like his, the best solution doctors can proffer is a kidney transplant if they can find a suitable donor. Even with such transplants, success is not guaranteed. The man was sitting somewhere in the congregation during one of our services when the Lord said, "Receive your healing." Instantly, he became healed. This is what only the Almighty God can do; He can reverse what men have deemed hopeless. I don't know of any medication that can change an SS blood genotype to AA, but I have heard many testimonies of the Almighty God doing this. He alone can reverse the irreversible. As we read in today's Bible reading, He can make dry bones live again. He alone can turn a completely hopeless situation around for the better.

The story of the dry bones in today's Bible reading also reveals the kind of people who will experience such miracles. The dry bones were completely helpless, but I have discovered, in my little walk with God, that He delights in helping the helpless. My God is the helper of the helpless; He is called the Ever-present Help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).

Beloved, if you are currently in a situation that seems hopeless, turn to God like David did and say, "My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:2). He will step into your situation and help you. I pray that God will reverse any situation that people have considered to be completely hopeless in your life. He will glorify Himself in such situations and give you a wonderful testimony, in Jesus' name. 

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please arise for my help in everything that concerns me, in Jesus' name.

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!

God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: PERMANENT MIRACLES

MEMORISE

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. - (Ecclesiastes 3:14)

READ: John 5:1-14 (KJV)

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

MESSAGE

One of my spiritual sons, who is from a very wealthy home, had cancer of the jawbone. He had access to the best doctors in Europe, but after they had treated him for a while, they told his parents to take him back home to Nigeria because he had just two weeks to live. His parents were devastated. When they arrived in Nigeria, they decided to bring him to Redemption City, and my faith was shaken when I saw him. The boy had trouble eating because of his illness; his head was terribly swollen, and it usually took him about an hour to finish a bottle of soft drink. I pulled myself together, prayed for him as is expected of a pastor, and God healed him. This happened 43 years ago, and to the glory of God, he is still alive today, married with children. God gave him a testimony that is still valid today. I pray that God will give you a permanent miracle, in Jesus' name.

One of the most amazing things that happens when God visits a man is that He brings permanent solutions. Mark 10:46-52 tells the story of a blind man named Bartimaeus. When he was told that Jesus was coming, he knew he would never beg again. That was why he threw his garment - the symbol of his shame, darkness, and blindness - away. I am sure that the moment he received his sight, he never begged again - his testimony was permanent. Some people have had miracles and lost them. Some have received something precious from God but have lost it out of carelessness. In the name that is above every other name, the testimony God will give you will last forever.

Beloved, the only way the miracles and testimonies you receive from God will be permanent is when you flee sin. Today's Bible reading tells us the story of a man who had been sick for 38 years; Jesus healed him, and he was happy. However, when Jesus saw him again, He warned him not to engage in sin anymore because if he did, something worse could happen to him. When someone who has been delivered by God from the path of destruction jumps back into sin, the devil can torment and torture that fellow as he pleases. If you have gone back into sin, return to Jesus today and ask Him to save you. He will graciously restore you when you return to Him wholeheartedly. 

KEY POINT

To make your miracles permanent, never toy with sin.

TOPIC: MULTIPLIED PEACE

MEMORISE

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. - (Psalm 199:165)

READ: Daniel 6:25-28 (KJV)

25 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

MESSAGE

In some cultures, kings often greet their subjects by saying "Peace be multiplied unto you." In Daniel 6:25, when King Darius was writing to all his subjects after Daniel had escaped the lions' den unhurt, he started his letter with "Peace be multiplied unto you." Also, in the New Testament, each time Apostle Paul wrote to the various churches, he would start by greeting them, "Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father" (Romans 1:7), (1 Corinthians 1:3), (2 Corinthians 1:2), (Galatians 1:3). Likewise, Peter, in his letters, often wrote, "Peace be multiplied unto you" (1 Peter 1:2) and (2 Peter 1:2). All of these greetings make us understand that peace can increase, and it can be multiplied. Even if you feel that you already have peace and there is nothing to worry about, you should always pray that your peace will be multiplied. If peace can bring so much rest, multiplied peace can bring much more.

Years ago, I was returning from Britain to Nigeria on the same flight as a great man of God and his wife. According to his testimony, which I heard later on, he told his wife during the flight that since Daddy G.O. was on the plane with them, there was absolutely nothing to worry about. When we were halfway through the journey, the plane encountered severe turbulence, and the entire cabin began to shake. According to the man of God, he got up at that moment, looked at where I was seated on the plane, and saw that I was fast asleep. He then returned to his seat and told his wife that there was absolutely nothing to worry about because "Daddy is sleeping." He said that seeing me sleeping at that moment multiplied the peace he already had.

When you experience multiplied peace from God, every form of trouble or fear will be far from you. In John 14:27, Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." I pray that the peace of the Lord will be multiplied unto you today, in Jesus' name.

Beloved, the secret to enjoying multiplied peace from God is revealed in today's memory verse - loving Him and His law. If you indeed want your peace to be multiplied, you must love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37), and obey His commandments at all times. 

PRAYER POINT

Father, please multiply Your peace in all areas of my life, in Jesus' name. 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

2 Samuel 23 - 24

HYMN 29 - WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER ATTENDETH MY WAY 

1. When peace, like a river attendeth my way, 

When sorrows, like sea billows roll; 

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to know, 

It is well, it is well with my soul 

CHORUS

It is well, ... With my soul, ... 

It is well, it is well with my soul. 

2. Though Satan should buffet, 

Though trials should come, 

Let this blest assurance control, 

That Christ hath regarded my Helpless estate, 

And hath shed His own blood for my soul. 

3. My sin o, the bliss of this 

glorious thought, 

My sin not in part, but the whole,

Is nailed to His cross; and I bear it no more: 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul. 

4. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live! 

If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,

Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul. 

5. But the Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, 

The sky, not the grave, is our goal: 

Oh, triumph of the angel! oh, voice of the Lord! 

Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my soul.

God bless you as you share.

DATE: TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 2026.

TOPIC: FIRE CARRIERS 2

MEMORISE:

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. - (Matthew 5:6)

READ: Exodus 33:7-11 (KJV)

7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.

8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.

9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.

10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.

11 And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

MESSAGE

Yesterday, I stated that serving God wholeheartedly and honouring those whom He has placed over you is a channel through which you can carry His fire. Today, I will discuss another thing that can make you a carrier of God's fire - your level of hunger and thirst for Him.

In today's Bible reading, God spoke face to face with Moses in a pillar of cloud in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and Joshua was with him. After Moses' conversation with God, he departed from the tabernacle, but Joshua stayed behind because he was so hungry for God's presence. While others were enjoying the comfort of their tents, Joshua remained before the Consuming Fire, and I am sure that he was communing with Him and seeking His face. In Numbers 27:18, God attested to the fact that he was a man "...in whom is the spirit..." and instructed Moses to lay hands on him.

Elisha was another person whose hunger attracted God's fire. The moment Elijah put his mantle on him, he left everything and followed the man of God (1 Kings 19:19-21). When it was time for Elijah to be taken away from him into heaven, he told him to ask for anything he wanted. At that time, Elisha had become so hungry to see greater manifestations of God's glory that he wanted to do greater works than his master. He didn't care about material things; his only hunger was for God. When Elijah heard his servant's request, he replied, "You have asked a hard thing, but if you see me while I am being taken away, it will be as you have asked" (2 Kings 2:9-10). Being on a long journey would have made many other people tired and sleepy, but Elisha was not. His hunger kept him awake and aware of everything that was happening around him. His heart was fixed on what he wanted, and this was what made him see the chariot of fire as it appeared, and Elijah being taken up into heaven by a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:11-12).

Beloved, no matter who lays hands on you, the fire of God will not come upon you if you are not hungry and thirsty for God's presence and glory. Even though a piece of wood has the potential to catch fire, it will not catch fire if it is not dry. Only those who are hungry and thirsty for God's presence and glory will receive His fire to do exploits in their generation. 

PRAYER POINT

Father, please fill my heart, soul, and spirit with great hunger and thirst for Your presence and power.

MEMORISE

But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah. - (2 Kings 3:11)

READ: 2 Kings 2:1-14 (KJV)

1 And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.

3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.

5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.

7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.

8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.

9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

MESSAGE

When a piece of wood is set on fire, it burns. Similarly, a fellow who has given his or her life to Jesus Christ can burn for Him, and the fire that burns in such a believer is the power of the Holy Spirit.

There are two ways by which a believer can catch fire: directly from God, just like Moses and Elijah, or through other people who have caught the fire of God and have become fire carriers. For example, Joshua received his fire from Moses (Deuteronomy 34:9), and Elisha received his from Elijah (1 Kings 19:19). Joshua was called Moses' servant (Joshua 1:1), and wherever Moses went, he was there to serve him. While Joshua served Moses faithfully, the latter laid his hands on him, and he received the spirit of wisdom. If you feel like you are too important to serve those whom God has placed over you, it means that you are not ready to carry the fire of God. Serving Moses could not have been easy, but Joshua willingly paid the price. In Exodus 24:13-18, the Bible says that he went with Moses to Mount Sinai, where they stayed for 40 days and nights. He served Moses wholeheartedly, and when Moses laid his hands upon him, he transferred all the honour and grace he had to him (Numbers 27:18-23). This is why, as a child of God, you must honour those whom God has placed over you.

Elisha was another person who received God's fire through honour and service. People knew him as the man who poured water on Elijah's hands (2 Kings 3:11). Despite his wealthy background, he was willing to stoop very low to honour and serve God's prophet, Elijah. While the other sons of the prophets were busy predicting what would happen to Elijah (2 Kings 2:3), Elisha was busy following the man of God and serving him. Eventually, he received a double portion of the anointing that was upon Elijah.

Beloved, if you want to be a carrier of the fire of God, you must serve Him wholeheartedly and be willing to also serve and honour the anointed people He has placed over your life. I pray for you today: may you never become too proud to honour and serve those whom God has placed over your life. In the name above every other name, you will carry the fire of God upon your life and do mighty exploits in His kingdom. 

KEY POINT

Serving and honouring the people whom God has placed over you is a channel through which you can receive His fire.

HYMN 7 - I AM THINE O LORD

1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,

and it told Thy love to me;

but I long to rise in the arms of faith,

and be closer drawn to Thee.

REFRAIN

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

to the cross where Thou hast died;

draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

to Thy precious, bleeding side.

2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

by the pow'r of grace divine;

let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

and my will be lost in Thine. 

3 O, the pure delight of a single hour

that before Thy throne I spend,

when I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,

I commune as friend with friend! 

4 There are depths of love that I cannot know

till I cross the narrow sea;

there are heights of joy that I may not reach

till I rest in peace with Thee. 

God bless you as you share.

MEMORISE

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. - (Psalm 40:9)

READ: 2 Kings 7:3-16 (KJV)

3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.

6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.

9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.

10 So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.

11 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.

12 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.

13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.

14 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

15 And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.

16 And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.

MESSAGE

Today's Bible reading tells us about how four leprous men rescued an entire city from its terrible economic situation. Before then, there had been a severe famine in Samaria for a prolonged time, and things got so bad that mothers began to eat their children (2 Kings 6:26-29). After a while, Elisha, God's servant, proclaimed God's word that things would change for good the very next day. Unaware of the prophetic word from the mouth of God's servant, the four lepers, who lived outside the city gates, decided to take a bold step to go into the enemy's camp. Their action paid off because God had caused the enemy soldiers to flee from their camp because they heard what sounded like a mighty army marching towards them. When the lepers entered the enemy's camp, they found out that all the soldiers had fled and had left behind all their food and other supplies. They were amazed, and they ate, drank, gathered silver, gold, and other precious items. However, after a while, they stopped and questioned their selfishness:

Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household. - (2 Kings 7:9)

The lepers knew that it was a day of good tidings, so they refused to keep the good news to themselves. They reported their discovery to the king's household, and that was how God's word about a miraculous turnaround in the economic situation of the city came to pass the very next day. If you are a Christian, then you know that today is a day of good tidings. Jesus died and resurrected to bring us into a new day. Jeremiah 31:31 tells us about the days when God will make a new covenant with His people. These are the days of that new covenant; the days of God's grace and victory over the nature of sin. If you are not sharing this good news and telling others about the wonderful works of God, you are denying them the opportunity of enjoying God's blessings.

Beloved, God has saved you from satan's bondage and freed you from his burdens. One way to appreciate Him for this is to become a habitual testifier of His goodness. Don't keep the good news of Christ's redemption to yourself.

Happy Easter! 

ACTION POINT

Tell at least one person about how Jesus saved you today.

MEMORISE:

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. - (Psalm 40:10)

BIBLE READING: MARK 5:1-20 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

When the Almighty God set the madman of Gadara free in today's Bible reading, He told him to tell other people about what God had done for him. As a result, the man began to go around, telling others about what Jesus Christ had done for him. One of the things God told me at one time was that I should tell His people that the more they testify, the more miracles they would get from Him. When God does something in your life, you should tell others about what He has done; do not keep the good news of His love and forgiveness to yourself. When the Samaritan woman who met Jesus by a well in Sychar encountered Jesus, she ran to tell everyone who would listen about her experience. She said, "Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" (John 4:29).

A long time ago, I was going through a difficult time, and things were really tough for me. However, whenever people asked me how I was doing, I always told them that God was working overtime in taking care of me. I never stopped testifying of His goodness, and today, I am even bolder to say that God is working extra overtime to take care of me. I am never ashamed to share the good things that God has done for me.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. - (2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

People who worship idols invite others to join their cults by telling and showing them what they have received from the devil. They do not hide what they get from satan, even though his gifts always come with hidden and terrible consequences. The Scripture above tells us that if we hide the good news of the things that God has done for us, the people who are on the path of destruction will not receive salvation. When God does something in your life, you must not hide it; rather, share the testimony with other people unless He tells you otherwise. Tell your friends, co-workers, and neighbours about the goodness of the Lord this Easter season. Encourage them to taste and see that the Lord is good indeed (Psalm 34:8). 

KEY POINT:

If we do not share the good things that God has done for us, many people will remain under the devil's bondage.

Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

2 Jesus loves me he who died

heaven's gate to open wide.

TOPIC: THE BURDEN BEARER

MEMORISE

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. - (Matthew 11:28)

READ: Isaiah 53:4-5 (KJV)

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

MESSAGE

In today's memory verse, Jesus invited us to lay our burdens on Him. A burden, in this context, refers to a difficult situation that a person must deal with. Often, burdens attach themselves to people against their will, and they cannot remove them on their own. In (1 Kings 17:10-12), the widow of Zarephath had little food left because Elijah had prophesied that there would be no rain or dew until he decreed otherwise (1 Kings 17:1). God pronounced the judgment through the prophet because of the king's idolatry; therefore, the widow was suffering, not because she committed any offence, but because of the sins of the head of her nation, and there was nothing she could do to get rid of the situation.

In (2 Kings 5:1), the Bible tells us that Naaman was rich and famous; however, he was a leper. Leprosy was incurable in those days, and if money or fame could have solved his problem, he would not be in the situation he was in. If leprosy were something he could cut away with a sword, he would have destroyed it because he was a military general. However, he couldn't do anything about it despite his wealth and influence. Beloved, have you been carrying a burden for a long time? Do you have problems that you cannot do anything about? If your answer is yes, I rejoice with you today because there is someone called the Burden Bearer; His name is Jesus Christ. I join my faith with yours that as you cry to Him for help today, He will answer you.

Sin is a heavy burden that crushes those under it. When the burden of sin is upon a fellow, the fellow will remain under the devil's heavy yoke until he or she meets a stronger person who can remove the yoke. Mark 3:27 says that no one can enter a strong man's house and steal from him without first tying him up. Jesus is the only One who can deliver those who are weighed down by the burden of sin (Matthew 1:21, Acts 4:12). Are you burdened by sin? Jesus is calling you today. He wants to deliver you and give you rest from the burden of sin if you surrender your life to Him. If you have not yet given your life to Christ, acknowledge Him as Lord and Saviour over your life. Once you do this, He will bear your burden and give you a new life in Him. 

ACTION POINT

Jesus is waiting for you to cast all your burdens on Him, and He will give you rest.

2 Samuel 8 - 11

 

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 

Ev'rything to God in prayer. Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear- All because we do not carry Ev'rything 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 ev'ry weakness, 

Take it to the Lord in prayer. 

3. Are we weak and heavy laden, 

Cumbered with a load of care? 

Precious Saviour, still our refuge, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.

God bless you as you share.
