DATE: THURSDAY 14TH OCTOBER 2021. 


THEME: PRIDE DESTROYS.

  

MEMORISE:

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

James 4:6


READ: Isaiah 14:12-15

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!


13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:


14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.


15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.


MESSAGE:

The Bible says in Proverbs 16:18:

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”


As we see in our Bible reading of today, Lucifer, who later became the devil, was thrown out of heaven because of pride.

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:” Isaiah 14:12-13


When the devil realized that pride leads to destruction, he made it one of his major weapons, he decieved Adam and Eve, telling them that when they ate the forbidden fruit they would be  as wise as God.

“And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” Genesis 3:6


Adam and Eve fell. The glory of the Lord that covered them departed and they realized they were naked and exposed. Pride disgraces its hosts beyond measure. The story of Pharoah is another case in point. It was pride that caused him and his soldier to drown in the Red Sea. One would expect that after experiencing the ten terrible plagues God sent to him and his people, Pharoah would humble himself before the Most High, but instead, he remained stubborn, asking “Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go” (Exodus 5:2)?


By the time he realized that the Lord is the Almighty, it was too late for him to repent.


To escape the spirit of pride you need to be genuinely born again and sanctified so that the mind of Jesus Christ may be in you. Philippians 2:5-7 described the humility of Jesus Christ in spite of His greatness. Humility elevates while pride destroys. Choose wisely.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to voluntarily humble myself so that You may exalt me, in Jesus’ name.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 14:  JESUS MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL.

1. Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,

hear me, blest Savior, when I call;

hear me, and from thy dwelling place

pour down the riches of thy grace.


Refrain:

Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;

O make me love thee more and more.


2. Jesus, too late I thee have sought;

how can I love thee as I ought?

And how extol thy matchless fame,

the glorious beauty of thy name? 


3. Jesus, what didst thou find in me

that thou hast dealt so lovingly?

How great the joy that thou hast brought,

so far exceeding hope or thought! 


4. Jesus, of thee shall be my song;

to thee my heart and soul belong;

all that I have or am is thine,

and thou, blest Savior, thou art mine.

DATE: WEDNESDAY 13TH OCTOBER 2021. 


THEME: ARE YOU A SPIRITUAL PACESETTER?

  

MEMORISE:

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

1 Corinthians 11:1


READ: 1 Corinthians 11:1-2

1Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.


MESSAGE:

While it is true that there are spiritual pacesetters in the body of Christ today, it is however most unfortunate that such people are quite few. 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7 says:

“And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost. So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.”


One thing we can learn from the apostles of old is that they received the word of God with joy. Modern day Christians however, have a habit of selecting what part of the word of God to obey. Nowadays, preachers carefully select messages that would not be considered ‘offensive’ by their congregations. Let every minister of God take heed to the following words:

“Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Thou that sayest a man should not commit dultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?” Romans 2:21-22


Apart from warning evildoers and sinners against wickedness, a spiritual pacesetter must live by what he or she preaches. A Christian must shine brightly as light in this world (Matthew 5:14), living by the word of God. Acts 1:1 says:

“…. of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,”


Jesus practiced His teachings. The early disciples also preached the gospel and lived their lives according to the word of God. They preached the gospel with both their words and their lifestyles.


Christian should set the pace for unbelievers in holiness. We are called to be examples to our generation. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 5:16:

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”


God expects Christians, as ambassadors of Christ in this world, to live by example. May you not disappoint God in your daily living, in Jesus’ name.


PRAYER POINT:

father, please make me a spiritual pacesetter so that millions may come to Your kingdom through me, in the mighty name of Jesus.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 8:  HO, MY COMRADES! SEE THE SIGNAL.

1. Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.


Refrain:

“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” Jesus signals still;

Wave the answer back to Heaven, “By Thy grace we will.”


2. See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on;

Mighty ones around us falling, courage almost gone!


3. See the glorious banner waving! Hear the trumpet blow!

In our Leader’s Name we triumph over every foe.


4. Fierce and long the battle rages, but our help is near;

Onward comes our great Commander, cheer, my comrades, cheer!

DATE: TUESDAY 12TH OCTOBER 2021. 


THEME: VICTORIOUS THROUGH HOLINESS.

  

MEMORISE:

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Proverbs 14:34


READ: Daniel 6:19-23

19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.


20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?


21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.


22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.


23 Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.


MESSAGE:

There is victory in holiness. When the eyes of a child of God are open to this revelation, he or she would begin to live righteously. Today’s memory verse presents a two-edge sword of the truth: while righteousness exalts a nation, sin or unrighteousness brings reproach that comes in the form of defeat to the people.


In today’s Bible reading, Danie said:

“My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.”


Here is victory in holy living, confirmed by the testimony of the prophet.


The Bible says in Hebrews 1:9:

“Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”


Heaven and earth shall pass away but the word of God shall remain, according to our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:35. Some Christian claim that it is impossible to live holy. Like I always tell my children in the Redeemed Christian Church o God, the fact that you are not living holy does not mean it is impossible to do so. The Bible says:

“Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:7-8


A person is either holy or sinful- there is no midpoint. No sinner will make it to heaven. For this reason, Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil in our live. You are righteous by grace. This grace is what removes boasting because it is not you but Christ in you. This however, does not make us deny that God helps people to live holy. Pray earnestly for the grace to live holy because of the blessing that come with it. Daniel triumphed over all his enemies; they perished in his place because of his life of holiness! I pray that the grace to live holy will come upon you today and you will live every day in victory from now, in Jesus’ name.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to live a life that is holy unto You, in the mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 1-5.

 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 4:  CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE.

Conquerors and overcomers now are we,

Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory,

If the Lord be for us, we can never fail;

Nothing ‘gainst his mighty pow’r can e’er prevail.


Refrain:

Conquerors are we, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood;

God will give us victory, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood,

Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,

Yet who lives and reigns again,

More than conquerors are we,

More than conquerors are we.


In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,

Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;

Not to us, but unto him the praise shall be,

For salvation and for blood-bought victory. 


Unto him that overcometh shall be giv’n

Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n;

Over yonder he the victor’s palm shall bear,

And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.
