THEME: WHILE MEN SLEPT I

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 : Isaiah 29:10-14 (KJV)

10 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

MESSAGE

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. Matthew 15:8

You are in a state of spiritual sleep when you profess to love God with your mouth, but your heart is far from Him.

You are sleeping spiritually when you are no longer excited to spend time with the One you call your Father.

David prayed to God to restore unto him the joy of his salvation. This means he had lost the joy he used to feel as a child of God (Psalm 51:2).

When material things become more important than the spiritual, when you believe natural laws more than the word of God, then you are sleeping spiritually.

I believe God that you will awake from every spiritual slumber today, in Jesus’ name.

For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. Isaiah 29:10

When you see someone who keeps trying to cope with a problem instead of praying, it means he or she is already sleeping spiritually because the fellow cannot see what the devil is doing.

If you make a decision when you are spiritually asleep, that decision is likely to be wrong because you would be spiritually blind.

Before you decide on whom to marry or enter into a business venture with, make sure you are spiritually alert.

When you sleep spiritually, you cannot discern spirits correctly.

You would believe any false prophet who says things that appeal to you; you would embrace a wolf in sheep’s clothing and hand over your pearls to pigs.

A leader in the Church cannot afford to sleep spiritually because the devil can attack the people under his or her leadership and God says their blood would be on that leader’s head (Ezekiel 33:6-7).

Therefore, if you are a leader in the house of God, more than anyone else, you must be spiritually alert.

God forbid someone dies and goes to spend eternity in hell because of your spiritual negligence.

PRAYER POINT

Father, awaken me from every spiritual sleep today, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

HYMN 17: Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven

1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; to his feet your tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, evermore his praises sing. Alleluia, alleluia! Praise the everlasting King!

2 Praise him for his grace and favor to his people in distress. Praise him, still the same as ever, slow to chide, and swift to bless. Alleluia, alleluia! Glorious in his faithfulness!

3 Fatherlike he tends and spares us; well our feeble frame he knows. In his hand he gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes. Alleluia, alleluia! Widely yet his mercy flows!

4 Angels, help us to adore him; you behold him face to face. Sun and moon, bow down before him, dwellers all in time and space. Alleluia, alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace!

LETS PRAY 🙏

 Isaiah 60:1 (KJV)  Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. May the Lord by His word speak to every situation in your life and destiny, arouse you from slumber, cause you to arise, shine and as His glory saturates you, turn you to the light in darkness in Jesus mighty name.

THEME: PRAYER FOR THE YOUTHS

MEMORISE: 

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 

1 Timothy 4:12

READ: Jeremiah 1:4-10  

4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

9  Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.

10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

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 escaped the tempter's snare 

by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 

2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 

the joys I feel, the bliss I share 

of those whose anxious spirits burn 

with strong desires for thy return! 

With such I hasten to the place 

where God my Savior shows his face, 

and gladly take my station there, 

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 

3 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!

DATE: THURSDAY NOVEMBER 2ND, 2023.

TOPIC: REMEMBER ME LORD!

MEMORISE:

Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation. 

Psalm 106:4

READ: Psalm 106:4-5 (KJV)

4 Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

MESSAGE

Many times we pray and it seems like God cannot even hear our prayers, not to talk of answering them. We even see other people getting their prayers answered seemingly easily and wonder what our offence is that God has not answered us.

In Genesis 30, the Bible says Rachel had no child for Jacob while Leah had birthed child after child for him, even as she aged.

It must have really seemed as if God was not hearing Rachel’s prayers at all, but in verse 22, the Bible says: “And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.”

One major prayer point that you must pray when it seems like God is not hearing your prayer Is, ‘Remember me, oh Lord’.

The first thing that happens when God remembers a person is that the fellow’s prayer would be answered.

If you have been praying for one miracle or the other and there has been no answer, God will remember you this month, in Jesus’ name.

Psalm 65:2 says:
“O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come”.

God hears prayers but the Bible says that if He is to answer, there are certain conditions that must be satisfied.

For example, in Isaiah 55:6, the Bible says you must seek the Lord while He may be found and call on Him while He is near.

Thus you may have been praying for a while, not even sure whether He is near or not because you cannot see Him, but when He chooses to remember, He Himself would draw near to you.

The second thing that happens whenever God remembers someone is that doors begin to open for the fellow.

You may have been knocking on some doors that have stubbornly remained shut, but the One who remembered Rachel is He who has the key of David; when He opens, no man can shut and when He shuts, none can open (Revelation 3:7).

If the enemy has shut a door against you, in the name that is above every other, this very day, it will be opened.

All you need is for God to remember you. The Lord will remember you today as you pray, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT

Father, please remember me and answer my prayers today.

HYMN 15: Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour

1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior, Hear my humble cry, While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by.

Refrain: Savior, Savior, Hear my humble cry; While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by.

2 Let me at a throne of mercy Find a sweet relief; Kneeling there in deep contrition, Help my unbelief. 

3 Trusting only in Thy merit, Would I seek Thy face; Heal my wounded, broken spirit, Save me by Thy grace. 

4 Thou the Spring of all my comfort, More than life to me, Whom have I on earth beside Thee? Whom in heav’n but Thee?
