DATE: Monday August 28TH, 2023.


THEME: GOD WILL MAKE YOU FRUITFUL


MEMORISE: 

There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. 

Exodus 23:26



READ: Genesis 1:27-30  

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.


29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.


30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.



MESSAGE


God's plan for everyone is that they would befruitful and multiply.

That is why He gave every woman considered barren in the scripture a testimony. The only person who died barren is the woman that mocked her husband- King David, for dancing before God (2 Samuel 6:20-23). If you have been considered barren , God is about to surprise you, in Jesus name.


You however, have a part to play as God is set to make you experience all round fruitfulness. John 15:1-5 makes it clear that you must be joined to a fruitful Vine to be fruitful.  He said in verse 4, "Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it Abide in the very Vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me." To become fruitful, you must be totally joined to the fruitful Vine. You must abide in Him.


Many years ago, we held a program in Lagos, Nigeria, during which I urge everybody to ask for something special from God. There was a lady there who said, "Father, I'm not going to ask you for anything anymore because I have repeatedly asked You for what I wanted and You didn't give me. I used to ask for a husband, and now I'm too old to have children, so I won't ask again. However, I will continue to serve You all the days of my life". God heard her and a few days later, a man came and said he wanted to marry her. She looked at the man and told him to pray again as she was already past menopause. He said he already had children, but he was a widower, so he was looking for a wife who would also be a mother to them. They got married and nine months later, she gave birth to twins- to boys. When you commit yourself to the True Vine, He will make sure that you become fruitful.


The True Vine can make you fruitful in every aspect of your life. God is the one who said in Leviticus 19:13 that everyone must pay the wages of those that work for them. If you are committed to God and His kingdom, you will definitely bear fruit. God said He is not unrighteous to forget your labour of love (Hebrew 6:10).


The Lord will definitely reward you as long as you remain connected to Him. 


ACTION POINT

Be totally committed to God.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: . Ezekiel 16-17


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE



HYMN 26: THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS 


1 There shall be showers of blessing:


 This is the promise of love;


There shall be seasons refreshing,


 Sent from the Savior above.


 

Refrain


Showers of blessing,


 Showers of blessing we need;


Mercy-drops round us are falling,


 But for the showers we plead.



2 There shall be showers of blessing—


  Precious reviving again;


Over the hills and the valleys,


  Sound of abundance of rain.



3 There shall be showers of blessing;


  Send them upon us, O Lord!


Grant to us now a refreshing;


  Come, and now honor Thy Word.



4 There shall be showers of blessing;


  O that today they might fall,


Now as to God we’re confessing,


  Now as on Jesus we call!



5 There shall be showers of blessing,


  If we but trust and obey;


There shall be seasons refreshing,


  If we let God have His way.

THEME: THE MEAL THAT MAKES RICH


MEMORISE: 

And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians. 

Exodus 12:36


READ: Exodus 12:17, 35-36 

17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.


35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:


36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.



MESSAGE


While studying the word of God, I discovered that God performs various miracles through the Holy Communion. One of such miracles is making rich those who partake in the meal according to His will. The occult also tries to emulate this when witch doctors ask people who are seeking sudden riches to eat some charms that will make them rich overnight. They will however, also reach an agreement to be rich for only a few years before the charms kill them. In Yoruba land, such a person will be said to have eating lukudi.


There was one man who ate lukudi, but instead of getting money, the charm began to eat him up from the inside. He came to the headquarters of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and pretended to give his life to Jesus. We prayed and he vomited the charm he had eaten. After a while, we noticed that he stopped coming to church, only to hear that he had gone to eat the charm again. This time around the money came, but when the agreed date for his death started drawing near, he decided to run to England, and ended up dying in the plane.


As it's typical with the devil, whatever he gives is always short-lived and he collect the fellow's soul in return. Mark 8:36 asks: "What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?" With the Holy Communion however, not only will you become rich after eating it, you will also have long and eternal life.


According to Exodus 12:35-36, the day the children the children of Israel ate the Holy Communion, the wealth of the Egyptians was handed over to them. When you eat the Holy Communion, the wealth of the Almighty God has assigned to you that is in the hands of the enemy will be transferred to you. As you eat the Holy Communion worthily, you will receive payment with interest for every unpaid labour of your life, in Jesus name.


There is another charm that is said to give promotion and good luck when eating. In Yoruba land, it is known as Awure, the problems with this charms however, is that the witch doctors who prepare them are poor themselves, yet people believe they can make them prosperous. When you eat the Holy Communion however, it will bring you genuine promotion and those people who have been treating you as a servant will come and bow before you.


KEY POINT

Eating the Holy Communion worthily could be what you need to get that breakthrough you have been praying for.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 13-15



AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME

1 All hail the power of Jesus' name!

Let angels prostrate fall.

Bring forth the royal diadem,

and crown him Lord of all.

Bring forth the royal diadem,

and crown him Lord of all!


2 O seed of Israel's chosen race

now ransomed from the fall,

hail him who saves you by his grace,

and crown him Lord of all.

Hail him who saves you by his grace,

and crown him Lord of all!


3 Let every tongue and every tribe

responsive to his call,

to him all majesty ascribe,

and crown him Lord of all.

To him all majesty ascribe,

and crown him Lord of all!


4 Oh, that with all the sacred throng

we at his feet may fall!

We'll join the everlasting song

and crown him Lord of all.

We'll join the everlasting song

and crown him Lord of all.

THEME: ABOUT PREDESTINATION


MEMORISE: 

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 

Romans 8:30



READ:  Romans 8:29-33 

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.


30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.


31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?


32 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?


33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.


MESSAGE


Before you were born, God knew you (Jeremiah 1:4-5). He not only knows your beginning. He knows your end too (Jeremiah 29:11). Some people call this destiny. Many believe that people's faces are decided by God no matter what they do. If you pay attention to the first part of our Bible reading today, you will see the word, 'Foreknow'. Your destiny is determined by His knowledge of the things you will do and the decisions you will make throughout your life time. In other words, your destiny is ultimately decided by you.


If God tell you your destiny now, it is based on all the knowledge He has about you. For example, God knows all that you have done in the past. In 2 King 5: 20-27, when Gehazi collected Namaan's gifts secretly, Elisha didn't leave the house, but he saw everything. Gehazi lied about what he had done and became destined to be a !eper and father's of lepers. What you have done in the past and what you are doing now are good pointers to your destiny.


God also knows what you are going to do tomorrow. This explains Romans 9:10-14, where the Bible says that before Esau and Jacob were born, God had already loved Jacob and hated Esau. People may say that is unfair, but God had already knew in advance what would happen in Genesis 25:29-34- that Esau would love his stomach more than his birthright.


Now you may say, "Since He knows my future, that it is already fixed; no matter how hard I tried what will be will be". No, that is not correct. In Daniel 2:20-21, the Bible says God changes times. He can rearrange your future. Don't forget that He is supreme and can do as He pleases. The fact that you are alive today reading this particular message means there is hope for you to end well. In Luke 23:39-43, a criminal on his way to hell got salvation at the last minute. Jesus rearranged his destiny, and he ended up in heaven. If you sincerely cry to God today, confess your past and present sins, while determining to live holy henceforth, He can rearrange your future and make sure that you have a glorious destiny; it is all in your hands.


KEY POINT

Your destiny is in your hands.



BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 9-12


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 23: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE


1 Take my life, and let it be


Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;


Take my moments and my days,


Let them flow in ceaseless praise,


Let them flow in ceaseless praise.



2 Take my hands, and let them move


At the impulse of Thy love;


Take my feet and let them be


Swift and beautiful for Thee,


Swift and beautiful for Thee.



3 Take my voice, and let me sing


Always, only, for my King;


Take my lips, and let them be


Filled with messages from Thee,


Filled with messages from Thee.


4 Take my silver and my gold;


Not a mite would I withhold;


Take my intellect, and use


Every power as Thou shalt choose,


Every power as Thou shalt choose.


5 Take my will, and make it Thine;


It shall be no longer mine.


Take my heart; it is Thine own;


It shall be Thy royal throne,


It shall be Thy royal throne.



6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour


At Thy feet its treasure-store.


Take myself, and I will be


Ever, only, all for Thee,


Ever, only, all for Thee.
