Psalms 69:13 (KJV) But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. May the Lord by His mercy hear your cry in prayer, satisfy the desires of your heart for He is not man to lie nor the son of man to repent, for He has spoken concerning you and shall bring it to pass in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

THEME: WHEN GOD BECKONS ON YOU
MEMORISE:
That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
1 Samuel 3:4
READ: Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
MESSAGE
From today's Bible reading, we see that when God beckons on you, it is an invitation to rest.
There is a difference between hard labor and other types of work. God expects you to work. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 says that if you don't work, you are not to eat. However, laborers, especially those who labor at menial jobs work from sunrise to sundown. At the end of the day, they earn just enough money to keep body and soul together. I decree that you will no longer struggle before you eat, in Jesus' name.
One of the reasons you are reading this now is because God beckoned on you. When He beckons, He is saving. "Destiny is calling you." In Exodus 3:1-10, Moses was at the backside of the desert when he suddenly saw a bush that was burning but was not consumed. He said, "I will turn aside and see." That was a beckoning, and by the time He responded, God told him that his days of staying in the wilderness were over, and it was now time to fulfil his destiny. In Mark 3:13-15, Jesus went to the top of a
mountain and beckoned to those He desired, and they came unto Him. Those people (except Judas Iscariot) later became the Apostles we know today.
The first thing you are to do when He beckons is to take up His yoke, in other words, make His desire your concern, and pursue the things He pursues. When you think of the greatest thing that God pursues, it is souls. you really want to fulfil your destiny, you will take up the yoke of winning souls, and you will begin to see how He arranges things for you to fulfil your destiny.
My major pursuit was to become the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa, but God beckoned on me, and I took up His yoke of winning souls. That is how I got to fulfil my destiny and now Vice Chancellors call me Daddy. You have no idea what your true destiny is until you start winning souls and doing the work of God.
Just in case you think soul winning is only for evangelists and pastors, please study Matthew 28:19-20 carefully. All followers of Jesus Christ are Commissioned to make disciples of all the nations, and this includes you.
PRAYER POINT
Father, like David, let the zeal of Your house consume me so l can fulfil my destiny.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 14-15
AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE
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?

Isaiah 45:14 (KJV) Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. May the Lord by His mercy bring to pass that which He has spoken concerning those who label themselves your enemies grant you peace and the grace to possess your possession in Jesus mighty name.

THEME: WHEN GOD CARRIES YOU
MEMORISE:
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
Isaiah 63:9
READ: Mark 10:13-16
13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
MESSAGE
In our Bible reading for today, they brought children to Jesus, and as He carried them, He also blessed them. When God carries a person, He also blesses the fellow as we see in Mark10:16.
When you read the account of the Israelites leaving Egypt, you will see clearly that all the forces in heaven, on earth, and underneath the earth were working together to favor them. This is what happens when God carries you; you become blessed by Him.
Exodus 19:4 says:
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
Some people don't know the real meaning of 'God bless you.' After you have said, "God bless you," they still say, "Pray for me." Being blessed by God is a summon to all the forces in heaven, on earth, and underneath the earth to assist you to succeed- that is the meaning of 'God bless you.' Believe it or not, even demons will be summoned to assist you when God is carrying you.
A few years ago, I was in an African nation for a programme. As we were heading to the venue of the crusade, we encountered a serious traffic jam. Even though we got a Police escort to help clear the traffic on the way to the venue, we were still stuck as nobody was obeying the Police escort. All of a sudden, a madman came to the front of the car we were in and began to clear the way. The man was so mad that if you looked into his eyes, you could see devils dancing in them. He cleared the way until we got to the end of the traffic jam. When the road was free, he came to the side of the car I was sitting in and bowed. When God carries you, everything will work together in your favor.
If you want God to carry you, you must become like a child. In our Bible reading for today, there were many adults around, but the only ones Jesus carried were the children. If you are not like a child, you will be too heavy for Him to carry. This means that you must be humble, Obey His word, not hold grudges, and have faith in Him like a child that believes whatever his father tells him.
KEY POINT
God will only carry children. You must become a child in His hands, then He will carry you and bless you.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 11-13

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!
