JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

 

LET'S PRAY 🙏

 Jeremiah 17:8 (KJV)  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. May the Lord by His mercy see you through every turbulence of life, provide for you, grant you the grace to be fruitful yielding fruit in season and out of season in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

THEME: THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION

MEMORISE: 

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

Ephesians 1:19

READ: Romans 8:10-14

10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

MESSAGE 

When Apostle Paul said that he wanted to know the power of His resurrection in Philippians 3:10, he was saying that he wanted to know the power that raised Jesus from the dead. There is a power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. That power, according to Romans 8:11, is the power of the Holy Spirit, the power that can quicken your mortal body. That power is still available to the children of God even after Jesus Christ died, rose, and went to heaven.

It is a great thing to be baptised in the Holy Spirit.

However, there is an experience and encounter that goes far beyond being baptised in the Holy Spirit. When you are baptised in the Holy Spirit, you speak in tongues, but speaking in tongues is not enough; you need to be baptised by fire too. Speaking in tongues is wonderful, and I encourage it, but you can't go to some nations, get into their marketplaces, and start speaking in tongues and think you will win souls for Christ; you might lose your head or spend the rest of your life in prison! You need the fire of the Holy Ghost.

Whether you believe it or not, every force that is in heaven, on earth, or underneath the earth, is subject to that power that raised Jesus from the dead. This is why the world fears Pentecostalism. If there was one dead fellow that the devil did not want to rise, it was Jesus Christ, because he knew that if Jesus rose from the dead, he was finished. However, that power that raised Jesus from the dead was so powerful that with all the things that the devil tried in Matthew 27:62-66, Jesus still rose from the dead.

He is higher than all principalities and powers, and His rising from the dead opened the door for you and me to also be higher than them. Ephesians 2:6 says:

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

The scripture above shows clearly that believers in jesus Christ are now seated with Him in heavenly places. Once you know that power that raised Jesus from the dead, no witch, wizard, demon, or principality will be able to overcome you. You will begin to command demons, and they will obey speedily. If you want to know that power, pray today's prayer point with all your heart.

PRAYER POINT

Lord, baptise me with the Holy Spirit and fire. Please let me know that power that raised You from the dead.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : Judges 20-21

HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS

JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

 

LET'S PRAY 🙏

 Philippians 2:10, 12 (KJV)  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. May our Lord Jesus Christ transform our lives, open all closed doors, guide us to know and work in direction of Goodness and Mercy with Him never looking back in Jesus mighty name.

THEME: THAT I MAY KNOW HIM

MEMORISE: 

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Philippians 3:10

READ: Ephesians 1:15-17 

15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

MESSAGE

Today's topic is actually the prayer of people who feel that they don't know God enough and want to know Him more. Daniel 11:32 says that those who know their God shall be strong and do exploits. To know God the way He ought to be known is very beneficial. If you know Him as He should be known, you will gladly surrender your life completely to Him. You will gladly surrender your future to Him because you will suddenly say,

"What am I anyway, that did not originate in God? Who am I anyway if God didn't make me who I am? What can ever happen in my future that He doesn't know already?" Total surrender only

becomes possible when you truly know Him. You can only go wherever He asks you to if you know Him as you should.

A young married couple came to Africa for a missionary trip on their honeymoon. While walking around, they came across a really huge fence with gates. They found the gateman and asked, "Who are the people behind these walls?" The gateman answered, "Lepers," and the couple asked another question, "Has anyone preached the gospel to them?" The gateman said, "Anyone who goes in there doesn't come out. We throw food to them over the gate." The couple insisted that they needed to go in to preach to them. The gateman reiterated that anyone who goes in never comes out. The husband looked at his wife, and she said, "What the Lord said is 'go'. He didn't say anything about coming back." That was one couple that really knew God!

You can't know God through preaching, you can only know Him if He reveals Himself to you. I never went to any Bible college. Even though I learnt a lot from my Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi and Pa S.G Elton, God had to reveal Himself to me. Only God can reveal Himself to you, and this was why Jesus said to Peter, "Flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven (Matthew 16:17). The first time I heard people praying "Oh God of Adeboye, come and do this for me," I was

shocked, and I asked myself, "Who is Adeboye!"

However, somebody must have thought to himself, we may not know God so well, but there is somebody who knows Him." I pray that you will know Him the way He ought to be known, in Jesus' name.

PRAYER POINT

Lord, reveal yourself to me, I want to know You.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 17-19
