TOPIC: TWO KINDS OF WONDERS


MEMORISE

“To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.” - (Psalm 136:4)


READ: Exodus 12:21-30 (KJV)

21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.


22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.


23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.


24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.


25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.


26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?


27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.


28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.


29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.


30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.


MESSAGE

There are two kinds of wonders - the good and the bad. In (2 Kings 5:1-27), there was a man called Naaman, who was the captain of the host of the king of Syria. He was a leper, and Elisha asked him to go and wash in River Jordan so he could be healed. When he did, his skin became like that of a newborn baby - this is an example of a good wonder. After this, Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, ran after Naaman and fraudulently collected the gifts Elisha rejected. When Elisha discovered this, he cursed Gehazi saying, "I command that the leprosy of Naaman will cleave to you." Immediately, Gehazi was covered with leprosy and became as white as snow - now, this is an example of a bad wonder.


When God manifests Himself, He performs good wonders in the lives of His children. He is gentle to His children, but He is also a consuming fire to those who refuse His Lordship. In today's Bible reading, the children of Israel enjoyed the good wonder of preservation and escape from the angel of death. However, at the same time, the Egyptians experienced God's judgement. At the Red Sea, while the Israelites saw the mighty wonder of God as the sea parted for them to walk through it, the Egyptians were drowned by that same sea (Exodus 14:21-28). God is a God of wonders, but the type of wonders a fellow will experience from Him will depend on whether he or she is for Him or against Him.


Beloved, are you on the Lord's side (Exodus 32:26) or in the devil's camp? It is not only unbelievers who are not on the Lord's side; carnal Christians are also not on His side. Paul said in Romans 8:7 that the carnal mind is enmity against God because it is not subject to God's law and can never be. A carnal Christian wants to do things his or her way but not in God's way. Such Christians are moved by what they see and not by God's word. Anyone who lives like them will not enjoy God's good wonder.


If you are not yet born again and you want God to make your life an example of a good wonder to others, come to His side today and surrender all to Jesus. If you are already God's child, refuse to be a carnal Christian and totally surrender your mind to be constantly renewed by His word. 


REFLECTION

Check your life; are you preparing to experience God's good or bad wonder?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Matthew 5 - 6


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 every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live, 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 power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

TOPIC: YOU MUST HATE AVERAGE


MEMORISE

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.” - (Philippians 3:13)


READ: Deuteronomy 28:8-13 (KJV)


8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.


9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.


10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.


11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.


12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.


13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:


MESSAGE


If you hate something, you will do everything to avoid it. When I was in secondary school, I and two of my friends were the best in mathematics. However, even though we scored above 90%, our mathematics teacher would always tell us that we didn't do well because we didn't score 100%. At last, one day, we scored 100%, and we said, "Let's go and see him to hear what he will say now." We got to him, rejoicing, but our joy was cut short when he said, "Your mates are in the university, solving advanced maths, and you are rejoicing over 100% in elementary maths." His comment made me hate anything less than the absolute best. This is why I get disturbed when I see people celebrating mediocrity.


Years ago, when secondary school results in Nigeria were presented as Grade 1, 2, 3, and Pass, the principal of a particular college in Lagos was rejoicing because, for the first time in the school's history, one of the students got a Grade 3 result. However, another college principal wept because, for the first time, a student went as low as having a Grade 3 result.


As seen in today's Bible reading, God's will for His children is that they will be above ONLY. Hence, no Christian should ever settle for average. If you think you've attained your greatest height, you must know that it is someone else' starting point. In Ezekiel 47:1-12, God showed Ezekiel a man with a measuring line in his hand, and for every thousand cubits he measured, the water level rose. It started from the ankle to the knee and then to the waist before it became a mighty river. Some people reach the ankle level of success and think they have arrived; they don't understand that there are greater levels of success waiting ahead of them.


In (2 Kings 2:1-15), while the sons of the prophets were content with being average, Elisha pressed in for a double portion of Elijah's spirit. The sons of the prophet knew it was time for Elijah to be taken away, and they even knew the day it would happen. However, they were satisfied with having revelation without power. Elisha, on the other hand, didn't settle for average, and the Lord used him so mightily that we can never forget his name. People who settle for average never stand out.


Beloved, make up your mind to be the absolute best that God has destined you to be. Don’t settle for average. 


KEY POINT

You are destined to be above ONLY. Never settle for average.

Matthew 1 - 4


HYMN 24 - I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS


1. I want to be like Jesus, 

So lowly and so meek; For no one mark'd an angry word, That ever heard Him speak.


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, 

I never, never find That He, though persecuted was To anyone unkind. 


4. I want to be like Jesus, 

Engaged in doing good; So that of me it may be said 

"He hath done what he could." 


5. I want to be like Jesus, 

Who sweetly said to all, "Let little children come to Me;" I would obey the call. 


6. But oh I'm not like Jesus, 

As anyone may see; o gentle Saviour, send Thy grace, And make me like to Thee.

HYMN 22 - SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! 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 want 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! 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 prayer.


3. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! May I'll from mount Pisgah's lofty height, I view my home and take my flight; this robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise to seize the ever lasting prize and shout while passing through the air, farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.

TOPIC: DON'T DISCRIMINATE


MEMORISE

“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” - (John 7:24)


READ: 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (KJV)


1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;


2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.


3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;


4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.


MESSAGE


God loves believers, and He loves unbelievers too. In today's Bible reading, we see that He wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as God can send angels and other people to you, He also wants to be able to send you as He sent Phillip to the Ethiopian eunuch. He wants you to be the answer to someone's questions and the solution to people's problems. He is looking for people to send like Peter, whom He sent to Cornelius' house to extend the good news to the Gentiles (Acts 10). When He sends you, I hope you won't refuse the assignment, especially if the person He's sending you to is considered to be a chronic sinner.


Nobody is too rotten to be saved. I have always said it; if I were God, I wouldn't have saved Adeboye. I was really rotten and had blasphemed God several times before I gave my life to Christ. However, look at me now; God's grace is enabling me to lead millions of people to Himself.


Paul was a terrorist who persecuted Christians. I'm sure that if God had sent some people to preach to him, they would have refused because he could have had them arrested immediately. It took a visitation from Jesus to bring him to his knees, but after that, he needed Christians to guide him. First, the Lord told Ananias about him (Acts 9:1-17). I am sure that if God had told some other Christians about Saul at that time, they would have shut down His voice, thinking it was satan trying to push them into trouble. However, Ananias was a true disciple who knew God's voice and was ready to obey Him. He didn't discriminate against Paul despite his sinful past.


Barnabas also didn't discriminate against Paul. While other believers were scared of associating with Paul, Barnabas went to Tarsus to find him and bring him to Antioch, where they taught other people (Acts 11:25-26). The man who had formerly thrown believers in prison began to win souls for Christ.


Beloved, God can save anyone; no one is too far gone to be saved. He seeks believers like Ananias, whom He can send to those who have lived rough and reckless lives. He seeks disciples like Barnabas, who will look for such people and guide them in doing God's assignment for their lives. Don't discriminate against anyone; rather, help them get to know Christ more. 


KEY POINT

No one is too far gone to be saved by Christ.
