DATE: TUESDAY 13TH APRIL 2021.

 

THEME: PRAISE AS A WEAPON OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE.

  

MEMORISE:

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Psalm 22:3

 

READ:  Acts 16:25-26

 

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

 

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

 

 

 MESSAGE:

 

It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord (Psalm 92:1). According to Psalm 100:4, praise ushers us to God's presence, and as you may already know, in the presence of the Lord is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). Psalm 22:3 also says God inhabits the praises of His people. It is impossible to remain the same after being in presence of God. This is why the devil does not like people praising God.

 

The Bible speaks of many weapons of spiritual warfare, however the most effective of them all is praises. The Lord revealed to me years ago that when you praise Him, you are submitting to God and asking Him to fight the battle on our behalf. In 2 Chronicles 20:15-25, three great kings had formed an alliance against Jehoshaphat. By the leading of the Spirit of God however, he realized that he could only win the battle by praising God. Thus, he organized a mighty orchestra to praise the Lord. As the singers were praising, the Lord took over the battle and fought on behalf of King Jehoshaphat. His enemies destroyed one another and the only thing he had to do was collect the bounty. The Lord will fight on your behalf, you will possess the gates of your enemies and you will know peace in Jesus' name.

 

Psalm 67:1-7 explains what could happen when people praise the Lord. It says the earth would yield her increase and God shall bless His people. It also says that when people see the magnitude of God's blessings on those who praise Him, the whole earth would fear Him. May the Good Lord give you the kind of blessing that will cause people to fear your God, in the mighty name of Jesus.

 

If you really want to experience increase, you must praise the Lord vigorously. A couple had been barren for twenty-two years until God led their pastor to ask them to carry out non-stop praise for twenty-four hours every day. Within three months of playing praise songs round the clock, the wife took in and an end came to decades of waiting.  Praise was King David's principal weapon; no wonder he said his heart was fixed on praising the Lord all the time (Psalm 34: 1). If your praise would be effective however, you must be sure to live righteously; God would never accept the praise of sinners.

  


ACTION POINT:

Set time apart to give God heartfelt Praise today and cultivate the habit of continuous worship of God. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Corinthians 5-8.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

  

HYMN 20:  PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY

 1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation!

Join the great throng, 

Psaltery, organ and song,

Sounding in glad adoration!

 

2. Praise to the Lord! Over all things he gloriously reigneth.

Borne as on eagle wings, safely his Saints he sustaineth.

Hast thou not seen

How all thou needest hath been

Granted in what he ordaineth?

 

3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy way and defend thee.

Surely his goodness and mercy shall ever attend thee.

Ponder anew

What the Almighty can do,

Who with his love doth befriend thee.

  

4. Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore him!

All that hath breath, join with Abraham’s seed to adore him!

Let the “amen”

Sum all our praises again,

Now as we worship before him.

DATE:   MONDAY 12TH APRIL 2021.

 

THEME: WHY WORRY WHEN YOU CAN PRAY.

 

 MEMORISE:

But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. AActs 9:40


READ:  John 11:41-44

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

  

MESSAGE:

In Philippians 4:6, the Bible enjoined believers to cease worry, but to rather present their request to God through supplications and thanksgiving. The result of this spiritual exercise is in the next verse:

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."


we cannot do without prayers. lf Jesus as powerful as He is, could do nothing without prayer during his earthly ministry, then every Christian must have an effective prayer life. When Jesus got to the tomb of Lazarus, He did the same thing Philippians 4:6 commands us to do: with thanksgiving, He prayed and made His request known to God. Apostle Peter also engaged the power of prayer when confronted with the loss of power of a member of the Church in Lydda. That prayer of faith brought Tabitha back to life, to the glory of God. (Acts 9:36-40).


I travelled to my hometown not long after I was the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. On getting there, the villagers prevailed upon me to look into how the deplorable road leading to the community could be fixed. Humanly speaking, it was an expensive project for a pastor of my means to undertake. So, I looked up to God in prayer, like the Psalmist said in Psalm 121:1-2. A few weeks later, the Lord answered my prayer. He moved the government of the time to award a contract that got the road fixed.


The reason many children of God do not have answers to their wishes is that they have not asked. James 4:2 says: 

"Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war,

yet ye have not, because ye ask not."

  

Beloved, God is concerned about your needs. Don't be envious of others who are getting answers. Only prayer can solve your problems. Like the elder brother of the prodigal son, many Christians are zealous in the work of God but fail to make their requests known to Him. The elder brother accused his father of being partial whereas alI he needed to do was ask, because alI the father had was his (Luke 15:31). Don't short-change yourself. Ask in faith today!

 

 ACTION POINT:

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthewl:7).


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Corinthians 1-4.

 

 AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

HYMN 18:  Pass me Not,0 Gentle Savior. 

1. Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.


Refrain:

Savior, Savior,

Hear my humble cry,

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

 

2. Let me at Thy throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief.

 

3. Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace.

 

4. Thou the spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee,

Whom in Heav’n but Thee.

 DATE:   SUNDAY 11TH APRIL 2021.


 THEME: THE NAME ABOVE ALL OTHERS.

  

MEMORISE:                                                                                                                  

 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

Mark 16:17

 

READ: Philippians 2:5-11

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  

MESSAGE:

The name of Jesus is powerful and matchless. As believers, we can perform mighty signs through it as

we see in the memory verse of today. It can also bring salvation, as we see in Matthew 1:21:

 "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins."


The name of Jesus is full of wonders. In Acts 3:6, Peter, used it to raise a crippled man at the Beautiful Gate. Immediately he mentioned this name, the feet and ankle bone of that lame man received strength and he began to make progress in life. He started walking, and a while later, he began to leap. In the name of Jesus, nothing will be impossible for you.

 

Those who do not believe in this name for salvation do not know what they are missing.

Proverbs 18:10 says:

"The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe."


Here, we see a fundamental principle that is behind the working of that name - righteousness. Only the righteousness obtained through Jesus can make His name work wonders for you. As a matter of fact, it is through this name that we receive forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43).

 

In Acts 9:33-34, we see the supremacy of the name of Jesus when Peter healed a man who had for eight years, been bound by infirmity. The name of Jesus destroys yokes and delivers the oppressed. By the power in the wonder-working name of Jesus, I command your deliverance from any form of oppression.

 

I once heard the story of a young Christian who shouted the name of Jesus when the boat, he was in was about to capsize. Immediately, unseen hands steadied his boat. From today, that name will begin to work for you as you believe.

 

The devil may resist anything else but not the name of Christ. This is because the name of Jesus is above every other and at its mention, every knee should bow (Philippians 2:9-11). Begin to use it effectively from today.

  

ACTION POINT:

Call on the name of Jesus Christ with faith today and every mountain you are facing will give way, to the glory of the Father.

 

 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Corinthians 14-16.

  

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

 

HYMN 1:  ALL HAIL POWER OF JESUS NAME. 

1. All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ Name!

Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown Him Lord of all!

 

2. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,

Ye ransomed from the fall,

Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,

And crown Him Lord of all!

 

3. Let every kindred, every tribe,

On this terrestrial ball,

To Him all majesty ascribe,

And crown Him Lord of all!

 

4. Oh, that with yonder sacred throng

We at His feet may fall!

We’ll join the everlasting song,

And crown Him Lord of all!
