DATE: FRIDAY MAY 20TH, 2022.


THEME: THE SEVEN SEALS II.


MEMORISE:  

And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 

Revelation 6:4


READ: Revelation 6:3 -4

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.


4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.


MESSAGE

After the Anti-Christ has arrived and has been crowned, the second seal will be opened. Now, remember that from yesterday’s study, we say that the whole world was happy with their new leader who seemed to be a promoter of peace. However, when the second seal is opened, they will see the true colour of their leader. He will provoke war. At that time, all his diplomacy will be gone.


When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Matthew 24:15


The words of Daniel referred to by Jesus in the above passage are in Daniel 11:31:

And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.


The arms that will be on his part are represented by the man on the red horse that will be released when the second seal is opened. Now the Anti-Christ will have the military at his fingertips. Though he would have allowed the Israelites to rebuild their temple, he will sacrifice pigs on the altar of that temple. Anyone that knows Jewish law will know that Jews can never tolerate that. War will break out! This will be the war of all wars. Some countries will support the Anti-Christ and some will be against him. I pity those who will be on earth at this time. The war will be terrible, so terrible that Jesus warned thus:


Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!  But pray ye that your flight be not it the winter, neither on the Sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Matthew 24:16-21


I pray you will not miss the rapture, in Jesus’ name.

 

KEY POINT

Let he who is wise stay away from sin.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nehemiah 12-13


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN6: 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!

THEME: THE SEVEN SEALS I.


MEMORISE:  

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 

Revelation 6:1


READ: Revelation 6:1 -2

1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.


2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.


MESSAGE

After the rapture has happened and God has taken His children out of this world, seven seals will be opened in heaven and some notable events will take place in the earth.


Revelation 6:1-2 says:

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.


When Jesus opened the first seal, John saw a man sitting on a white horse and holding a bow. The man was given a crown and then he went forth to conquer. This man is the Anti-Christ. He will be given a crown over the whole world after the rapture. At that time, the whole world will come together under one body and he will be made the leader. If you noticed in the passage above, he has a bow but no arrow. This is because he will not conquer with force but with diplomacy. He will be perceived as a man of peace. He will be so diplomatic that he will be loved by everyone. He will even allow the Jews to rebuild the temple.


There have been many speculations as to who the Anti-Christ is. At one time, people said it was Adolph Hitler, but clearly that is not correct. Some people say that he is already born and will begin his campaign to rule the world when he is thirty years old. This is assuming that he will pattern his life after Jesus Christ. I cannot say who the Anti-Christ is, but one thing I know is that the devil is waiting eagerly for that time when he will raise him to rule the earth and since he knows that rapture will happen very soon, his own agent must also be ready. For me, it doesn’t matter who the Anti-Christ is because I will not be here when he is ruling the world. What about you? Will you still be here when the Anti-Christ arises? The answer to that question is not about what you say, but rather, how you live your life now. If you live holy now, then you will not be here then, but if you still engage in sin, then God help you when the Anti-Christ arises.


REFLECTION 

Some people will be safe in heaven by the time the Anti-Christ begins its rule on earth. Where will you be when that time comes?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nehemiah 9-11


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 2: CONQERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW  ARE WE


1 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 power can e’er prevail.


Refrain:

Conquerors are we, thr’o the blood of Jesus

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

Through the Lamb for sinners slain,

Yet who lives and reigns again,

More than conquerors are we,

More than conquerors are we.


2 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.


3 Unto Him that overcometh shall be given,

Here to eat of hidden manna sent from Heaven,

Over yonder He the victors palm shall bear,

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

THEME: THE GOD OF JACOB


MEMORISE:  

And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 

Genesis 32:26


READ: Luke 18:1 -7

1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;


2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:


3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.


4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;


5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.


6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.


7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?


MESSAGE

Our God being the God of Jacob means that He is the God of love, because when you read Genesis 29, you will find Jacob to be a man who, because of love worked for fourteen years without pay. That is a great demonstration of love. 1 John 4:8 also tells us that God Himself is love.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.


The God of Jacob is also the God of answered prayers. In Genesis 32:1-32, when Jacob knew that Esau was coming to kill him, he prayed all night, refusing to leave God’s representative and by the following morning (Genesis 33:1-4), instead of Esau killing him, he embraced him and wept because God had intervened.


Now, there is something we must take note of in Jacob; he prayed all night. The reason many of us don’t get our prayers answered is that we don’t pray persistently. The God of Jacob answers the prayers of those who pray persistently, those who don’t stop praying until He gives them what they want.


When you are cutting a tree, there is always that last strike of the axe that will bring it down. If you stop too early, the tree will remain standing and even get stronger as the days go by. Don’t leave that problem standing, keep knocking on the door of heaven until God solves all your problems and makes your joy full. It is Jesus Himself who said we should keep calling on God day and night:


And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 

Luke 18:7


Don’t think you are disturbing God with your prayers at all; He said in Isaiah 62:7 “And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.”


I will keep crying to God day and night (I Thessalonians 5:17). I will give Him no rest until He answers all my prayers. I hope you will do the same.

 

KEY POINT

Give God no rest until all your prayer have been answered.

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!

THEME: THE GOD OF ISAAC.


MEMORISE: 

That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 

Genesis 22:17 


READ: Genesis 22:1 -18

1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.


2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.


3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.


4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.


5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.


6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.


7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?


8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.


9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.


10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.


11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.


12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.


13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.


14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.


15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,


16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:


17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;


18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.


MESSAGE

The God of Isaac is the God of laughter (Genesis 21:1-7). He is not just the God of laughter, but also the God of multiplication. Our Bible reading today tells us how God asked Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice and how he (Abraham) was about to do so before God stopped him. God later on blessed Abraham:


…in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. 

Genesis 22:17


How does He multiply? In Genesis 26:12-14, the Bible tells us that when Isaac sowed, in the same year, he had a hundredfold return. This therefore means that the God of Isaac is the God of a hundredfold returns. When you look at the last promise in Genesis 22:17, you see God saying that Abraham’s seed will possess the gate of his enemies. In those days, the gate was the centre of a city’s economy.

This means that when the God of Isaac is your God, you will become so prosperous that whether nations like you or not, they would have to do whatever you say.


It is unfortunate however, that many Christians are not this prosperous and this is because they are not like Isaac. When Abraham was going to offer a sacrifice to God, Isaac asked his father, “I can see the wood, I can see the fire, where is the animal to be sacrificed?” (Genesis 22:7). Abraham said God would provide the lamb. The moment Abraham started binding him, Isaac know he was the sacrifice. Abraham bound him and laid him on the wood, yet Isaac cooperated all the way. If he had decided to struggle just a little, he would have won because there is no way a man who is over a hundred years old can hold a teenager down. However, Isaac was ready to give himself as a sacrifice to the Most High God. Only those who can sacrifice their all can enjoy the kind of multiplication that the God of Isaac gives. Solomon sacrificed what no man ever did and God blessed him more than every other man. Sow a seed that will really cost you – a sacrificial offering. If you want to be so prosperous that you will control the economies and politics of nations, then nothing must be too big for you to give to God.

 

ACTION  POINT

Give a sacrificial offering to a church, person or project that you are sure is for God.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nehemiah 2-5


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 25: TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE 


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.
