DATE: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2022.


THEME: WHEN YOU MUST BE VIOLENT 


MEMORISE: 

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 

Matthew 11:12


READ: Matthew 18:18 

18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.


MESSAGE 

Some Christians are so gentle that they accommodate the devil and his agents in their lives, claiming the Bible says we should be gentle as a dove. The Bible says that it is only the violent that can take the kingdom of God by force. The devil will do, everything to ensure you don't enter the kingdom of God; it is with violence that you will take it. If you are at peace when you should be fighting, the devil will roast you.


You must be violent when the devil is confronting you with a situation that can kill you. Any situation that can destroy your destiny or your spiritual life is not one to toy with at all.


Many years ago, l encounter a woman who was a senior official of an Examination Council in West Africa. She was married with children that were doing well. Just looking at her everything seemed normal, but she was a habitation of demons. She came to me one day and said, "Thus saith the Lord, you are my husband". I said, "That can't be l'm happily married, l'm a man of God, and you know l am committed to a life of holiness". She said, "You are joking, l'm going to marry you". When we couldn't handle it anymore, the matter was reported to the police and a restraining order was issued against her, to no avail. One day, l went to London on an official assignment and didn't tell anybody l was coming. Just as l entered the house where l was to stay, the phone rang and this same woman said, "Welcome, l have been waiting for you. I know where you are staying, and l will be there in fifteen minutes". I told her the British police would be waiting for her at the door. Maybe because she knew there was a police station less than two minutes' walk away from the house, she did not come, but she kept on calling. Now, l knew that l had a big problem and l needed to be violent. I went on my knees and cried to God to help me. God told me, "Son, you know the meaning of whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. You know whatever you allow is allowed, whatever you forbid is forbidden". I said, "Yes Lord", then He said, "It's up to you". On hearing that l said, "Okay, then the mountain must move!" and it did move. If l hadn't been violent, that mountain might have killed me.


KEY POINT 

Don't handle anything that can destroy your destiny lightly.

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 22: 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 wants and wishes known. 

In seasons of distress and grief, 

My soul has often found relief, 

And oft escape 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 of prayer! 


3. Sweet hour of prayer! 

Sweet hour of prayer! 

May I thy consolation share

Till, 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.

THEME: WHEN TEMPTATION KEEPS KNOCKING 


MEMORISE: 

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 

1 Peter 5:8


READ: 1 Peter 5:8 -10 

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:


9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.


10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.


MESSAGE 

The devil is a crafty being. When he senses the glorious destiny of a person, he does everything in his power to ensure that the fellow does not fulfill that destiny. He, however, cannot succeed except the person commits a sin and God leaves the person alone. When he heard the dream that Joseph had, he knew that the boy had a glorious destiny, so he planned for his brothers to kill him, but somehow God intervened and he was sold into slavery. The devil then arranged for a woman to tempt him, and he said that the woman should be no other person than Mrs. Potiphar who lived in the same house with him and was not under his control. Everywhere he turned to in the house, the madam was there smiling at him. Many people have lost their destiny this way. The devil arranges for a woman close to them to keep tempting them continually until they fell. The devil did not use a woman they only saw once in a while, he used the one they would see every day because he wanted to take no chances in ensuring that they wouldn't fulfill their glorious destiny. If that temptation keeps knocking, recognize that the devil is up to something and run for your life like Joseph did.


There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

1 Corinthians 10:13


Maybe there is a man or lady eyeing you somewhere around your office, or maybe you are constantly tempted to visit pornographic sites; no matter how intense the temptation is, God has provided a way of escape from it. The only problem is that your attention is on the temptation and not on the way of escape. There are people who can help you get out of that tempting situation. There are decisions you can take, though drastic, to free yourself from those temptations. There is always a way of escape.


Don't be too shy to ask for help; don't be too timid to do what has to be done in order not to fail. You must escape the temptation in order to reach your goal. From experience, l can tell you that the more of those temptation you overcome, the closer you will get to your goal.


ACTION POINT 

What is that temptation that has been knocking on the door of your heart? Take a bold step today to ensure that you don't fall for it anymore.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 48- Daniel 2


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


Hymn 29: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD IN THE STORM OF LIFE

1 Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,

When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?

When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,

Will your anchor drift or firm remain?


Refrain:

We have an anchor that keeps the soul

Stedfast and sure while the billows roll,

Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,

Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.


2 It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,

For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand;

And the cables passed from His heart to mine,

Can defy the blast, through strength divine.


3 It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,

When the breakers have told the reef is near;

Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,

Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.


4 It will surely hold in the floods of death,

When the waters cold chill our latest breath;

On the rising tide it can never fail,

While our hopes abide within the veil.

DATE: WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2022.


THEME: BECAUSE YE ASK NOT


MEMORISE: 

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 

Matthew 7:8 


READ: Matthew 7:7 -11

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


8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.


9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?


10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?


11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?


MESSAGE 

Many at times Christians give themselves headache over what should not be a problem at all. You have a Father in heaven who is the Almighty and owns the entire world and all that is in it, yet you bother your brain so much about your needs when you can easily ask Him and He will give you whatever you need. Many problems have lingered for too long because instead of praying, the fellow involved is worrying. The latter part of James 5:16 says:

...The effectual fervent prayers of a righteous man availeth much.


It did not say the effectual worries will avail much. In fact, Matthew 6:27, Jesus Christ said expressly that worrying will do absolutely nothing for you.


Don't burden yourself with what you cannot carry; ask God and He will carry your troubles for you. He has put no limit to how much you can ask of Him. In John 16:24, He said you should ask so your joy may be full. Inversely, this also means that you cannot be filled with joy until you have asked Him.


Many people get angry with God unnecessarily. They would have gone to every human being they can reach and gotten frustrated, then turn to God and ask, "Why me?" Many Christians burden themselves so much because they don't know how much God loves them and how willing He is to give them whatever they ask for. He loved you so much that He sacrificed His son for your sake, what is it that you can ask Him that will be greater than that? Why would He hold back anything from you when He did not withhold His only begotten Son from you?


He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things!

Romans 8:32


He has given you a blank cheque Instead of worrying and jumping around looking for solutions to your problems, go on your knees and write in the blank cheque which is found in Matthew 7:7-8.  


ACTION POINT 

Ask God for whatever you want.

HYMN 21: STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

1 Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God.


Refrain: 

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God.


2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.


3 Standing on the promises I now can see

Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;

Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,

Standing on the promises of God.


4 Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

Standing on the promises of God.


5 Standing on the promises I shall not fall,

List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call.

Resting in my Savior as my All in all,

Standing on the promises of God.
