THEME: DOMINION II

MEMORISE: 

And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 

Genesis 13:5 

READ: Genesis 14:14 -16

14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.

15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

MESSAGE

Yesterday we started discussing the subject of dominion and we discovered that it was bestowed upon man at creation but he traded it for the forbidden fruit. Jesus however, came to redeem man and restore dominion unto all those who believe in Him. We will continue with our study today by considering dominion by association - that is, a person can have dominion if the fellow is associated with a powerful personality. An adage in my mother tongue says that a dog can kill a monkey if the dog has the backing of the hunter. In our memory verse today we see Lot having dominion over poverty because of his association with the friend of God - Abraham. However, he lost the dominion when he departed from Abraham in Genesis 13.

After a while, when Lot cut off his association with Abraham, the Bible says that the city in which Lot was living was invaded and because Lot has separated himself from the friend of God, he became a victim of the invasion. Had it not been for the mercy of God and the love of his uncle, he wouldn't have regained his freedom as we read in today's text. The Bible says:

And he (Abraham) brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. Genesis 14:16.

Who we associate with goes a long way in determining our experiences in life. Proverbs 13:20 says:

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Beloved, may l recommend Someone you can associate yourself with for everlasting dominion? His name is Jesus. The  Bible says that His dominion is everlasting. (Psalm 145:13).

Why live your life in one form of captivity or the other, when you can operate in dominion over every situation, circumstance, and mountain?

Come to Jesus today and have everlasting dominion.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please give me everlasting dominion over sin, Satan and the works of the flesh, in the mighty name of Jesus.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 26: WE ARE NEVER NEVER WEARY OF THE GRAND OLD SONG

1. We are never, never weary of the grand old song;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

We can sing it loud as ever, with our faith more strong;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

Refrain

O, the children of the Lord have a right to shout and sing,

For the way is growing bright, and our souls are on the wing;

We are going by and by to the palace of a King!

Glory to God, hallelujah!

2. We are lost amid the rapture of redeeming love

Glory to God, hallelujah!

We are rising on its pinions to the hills above:

Glory to God, hallelujah! 

3. We are going to a palace that is built of gold;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

Where the King in all His splendor we shall soon behold

Glory to God, hallelujah! 

4. There we’ll shout redeeming mercy in a glad, new song;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

There we’ll sing the praise of Jesus with the blood washed throng;

Glory to God, hallelujah!

DATE: THURSDAY 24TH MARCH 2022

THEME: DOMINION 1​​​​​​​​

MEMORISE: 

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 

Psalms 8:6 

READ: Genesis 1:26 -28

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

MESSAGE

To the human race, dominion should be a natural phenomenon because it was bestowed upon us at creation. Our memory verse for today attests to this truth. In other words, one can gain dominion by creation. For example, a buffalo is conceived the same way a lion is conceived. However, dominion is bestowed upon the lion over the buffalo. When David considered the privileged position God placed man in, he could not help asking, “What is man, that thou are mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?” (Psalm 8:4). The question here is, “What should man do to appreciate the One who bestowed this dominion upon him? The answer is not far-fetched; the Bible says:

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalm 103:1-2.

Beloved, you should not struggle to have dominion because it has been given to us at creation. Another question then is, “Is this a reality in the life of everyone? The answer is simply “No” and this is because man sold his dominion for a taste of the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:1-7). This now leads us to the necessity of redemption. It is redemption that can restore this dominion.

I remember how I was running helter-skelter, away from wicked people who wanted to use me as their breakfast. I kept on running and suffering until I met Jesus Christ and accepted Him as my personal Lord and Saviour. When a man is redeemed from sin, he is redeemed completely form all other calamities that had dominated him hitherto. He is born again and re-created. 

This is why Jesus Christ said we must be born again (John 3:3). The Bible also says that whoever is born of God (John 1:12) overcomes the world through faith in the Son of the Living God (1 John 5:4-5). Beloved, you have dominion by virtue of your being a new creature in Jesus Christ. 

Claim, receive and exercise your Dominion.

KEY POINT

To access dominion, you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 5-8

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN25: TO GOD BE THE GLORY

1 To God be the glory, great things He hath done,

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,

Who yielded His life our redemption to win,

And opened the life-gate that all may go in.

 

Refrain:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the earth hear His voice;

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the people rejoice;

Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,

And give Him the glory; great things He hath done.

2 Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,

To every believer the promise of God;

The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

3 Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.

THEME: HEALING OR WHOLENESS​​​​​

MEMORISE: 

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 

Luke 17:17 

READ: Luke 17:12 -19 

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

MESSAGE

Healing is good but wholeness is awesome. When you experience healing, you must not stop at that – you must proceed to the level of wholeness in good health. There is a secret way to wholeness and that is the way of thanksgiving, praise and worship. Unfortunately, some people don’t know this way. They are incurable request-makers. All they do is issue command in the place of prayer. They issue commands without expressing any form of gratitude to the Almighty Owner of the heavens and the earth!

In our Bible text today, we read about how ten lepers confronted our Lord Jesus Christ with a request for healing. Jesus obliged them and asked them to go and show themselves to the priests. On the way, they all became healed. It however, remained one more step for them to get to the level of wholeness.

A typical example of wholeness is what Naaman experienced in 2 Kings 5:14. Naaman experienced wholeness – not mere healing, as there was no trace of leprosy on him after his encounter with the God of Israel.

Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 2 Kings 5:14

When the tenth leper saw that he was healed, he returned to Jesus to thank, praise and worship Him. Beloved, look around you and see the things God has already done for you, not just those you are seeking for Him to do.

Jesus was so impressed with this thankful man that He decreed his wholeness. The Bible says, “And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?...And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole” (Luke 17:17, 19).

Give glory to God, praise Him, avoid evil, so that you would not only be healed but made whole, too. Beloved, cultivate the habit of praise, worship and adoration of the Most High God. Live holy, and you will continue to enjoy divine wholeness.

ACTION POINT

Spend ten minutes giving thanks unto God for all He has done for you.

THEME: WHY YOU NEED DIVINE ANOINTING 2

Memory Verse: 

Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the Church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of Lord. 

James 5:14

Bible Reading: 1 John 2:27

27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

MESSAGE 

Yokes represent bondage and they are of different kinds. The yoke of sickness is a terrible one for anyone to bear and it must be completely destroyed. This is why you need divine anointing to destroy the yoke of sickness. This was a yoke that kept a man bound for thirty-eight years at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:2-9). The yoke of sickness wasted thirty-eight years of his life but he got his deliverance from that bondage when he encountered the anointing upon Jesus Christ. No child of God should be bound by the yoke of sickness since His anointing is available for us as we see in our memory verse today.

A Church that is void of God’s anointing is not worth attending because the Church is the last hope of the sick, especially for ailments described by orthodox medical practitioners as incurable or terminal. Testimonies of divine healings in our Church programmes confirm the importance of God’s anointing, particularly when it comes to the destruction of yokes of sickness.

One case that readily comes to mind is that of a sister who a doctor had said would die within hours. Her husband left her in the hospital, only to invite his mistress to come and spend the night with him in their home. “What about your wife?” the mistress asked. “She has only a few hours to live before she dies in the hospital” the unfaithful husband said, thinking the wife had reached the end of her life. To the glory of God, that same night, the anointing destroyed the yoke of sickness in the sister’s life; she discharged herself and went straight home, only to meet her husband with the mistress.

Handkerchiefs that carry divine anointing have destroyed yokes of sickness, times without number.

The anointing also serves as a defensive weapon against the onslaught of the enemy. Psalm 105:15 says, “… Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm”. Beloved, as you seek the anointing of the Almighty God, every problematic situation you are faced with will be resolved to His glory, in the mighty name of Jesus.

ACTION POINT 

You need the anointing to overcome spiritual obstacles. Seek it from a genuine man of God.
