THEME: UNDER YOUR FEET

MEMORISE: And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:     Ephesians 2:6

READ: Mark 16:16-18 

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

MESSAGE

There was a man in my village called Kaka, who was the leader of the occultists. It was generally believed that he single-handedly protected the town from all forms of evil, and he was feared by all. When we wanted to open the RCCG parish in my village, the place we found suitable for a rally was close to Kaka's house. Surprisingly, when an altar call was made during the rally, Kaka came out of his house to give his life to Christ - he had been listening to the worship session and sermon. Later that night, he came to my Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, and said, the way you spoke about your God, He must be really powerful." Papa said, "Very, very powerful." Kaka said, "In that case, now that I have given my life to Jesus, I would need help with an idol in my house called shigidi. It is an effigy that has been in my family for generations and that we send out at night when we want to kill someone. It is so dangerous that we must not sleep until it returns, and we must kill a ram to welcome it. Upon its return, it will step on the ram's blood and drink it. Thereafter, it will return to its position and become just like an ordinary effigy. I am afraid of the trouble that might follow if l throw shigidi away."

Papa decided to send me over to remove the effigy. I went to Kaka's house with the pastor of our parish in Ilesha and a church worker that I thought to be a strong prayer warrior. When Kaka saw me, he felt sorry for me, "Ahhh, Adeboye's son, you are the one they sent?" When my colleagues saw shigidi, they ran out of the house, leaving me alone with the effigy. It was smeared with blood and adorned with alI manner of charms. I said a prayer, broke the effigy into pieces, removed the shrine in front of the house, and threw everything into a river. After three weeks, I returned to my village and visited Kaka at home. When he saw me, he shouted, you are still alive?!" That was 1975. I am still alive almost five decades after.

Beloved, the devil and his demons are under the feet of even the smallest child of God. You are a part of the body of Christ, and Ephesians 1:21 Says that Christ is seated far above all principality and powers.

KEY POINT

Never ever be afraid of demons that you can trample under your feet.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 49

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: PRAYER CONTAMINANTS

MEMORISE: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.    Proverbs 18:21

READ: Proverbs 18:20-21

20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

MESSAGE

Certain things can contaminate our prayers, such that they weaken our prayers and their possible results. One such thing is speaking words tha are against what we are praying for. When you pray about your country, for example, and later join others

in saying that nothing good can come out of that same country, you have contaminated your prayer already.

Don't pray for God to give life to something and then turn around to speak death into that same thing; you will not get results from such a prayer. Joel 3:10 says, "Let the weak say, 'l am strong!" In other words, if you have prayed for strength, but can still see traces of weakness in you, at that point, say, "l am strong". As your words go in line with your prayers, they will remain potent enough to deliver the results you seek. When you pray about something, it is important that your words and thoughts agree with your prayer. This way, you will not stand in the way of the answer to your prayer.

Another thing that contaminates prayers is a lack of concentration while praying. This is when people pray, but their hearts are not in the prayer. Rather, their minds are occupied with other things. The devil knows that if your mind is distracted while praying, your prayer willnnot carry as much power as it should. Therefore, whenever you decide to pray, he will begin to remind you of things you are yet to do and places that you ought to have gone to. His plan is to occupy your mind with other things so that you will become distracted and lose your concentration as you pray. Whenever you find your mind wandering while praying, write down the things that you ought to have done, put the note aside, and continue to pray. Train your mind to keep all distractions away, and don't give room for them to disturb your connection to God in the place of prayer. With time, as you continually train your mind, you will get good at focusing on only God while praying.

KEY POINT

If you want your prayers to remain potent and powerful enough to deliver results, make sure they are not contaminated.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 47-48

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 3: ANCIENT WORD

1. Holy words long preserved

for our walk in this world,

They resound with God's own heart

Oh, let the Ancient words impart.

CHORUS

Ancient words ever true

Changing me, and changing you.

We have come with open hearts

Oh let the ancient words impart.

2.  Words of Life, words of Hope

Give us strength, help us cope

In this world, where e'er we roam

Ancient words will guide us Home.

3.  Holy words of our Faith

Handed down to this age.

Came to us through sacrifice

Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.

4. Holy words long preserved

For our walk in this world.

They resound with God's own heart

Oh let the ancient words impart.

5. Ancient words ever true

Changing me, and changing you.

We have come with open hearts

Oh let the ancient words impart.

THEME: PRAYER EXTINGUISHERS III

MEMORISE: But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. James 1:6

READ: James 1:5-8 

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

MESSAGE

Today, I will conclude my discussion on some of the factors that can extinguish prayers. Some people get almost everything right in the place of prayer but miss out on just one thing- faith. Today's memory verse says that believers should always make their requests to God in faith without having any doubts in their hearts. The next verse directly addresses anyone who makes requests from God without faith:

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

James 1:7

When you pray without faith, that prayer is dead on arrival. Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith, it is impossible to please God. Believers cannot expect God to answer their prayers when He is not pleased with them. God requires that you have faith in Him when you ask Him for something. Luke 17:6 says that even if your faith is as little as a mustard seed, God will use it to move mountains on your behalf. If your child asks you for food and then looks at you in such a way that says, "I know you will not give me; you probably don't even have it," you will feel insulted. This is what we do when we ask God for things that we are not really expecting Him to give to us.

When you come to God in faith, you come knowing without a doubt that what you have asked of Him is already done. You bring your requests with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6) because you know that your prayer has already been answered. The moment you pray, your hands are already stretched out to God, expecting what you asked for. This is how to pray; it is the kind of prayer that God cannot ignore. Hebrews 11:1 says that faith is the evidence of things not seen. In other words, when you have faith, even though you have not seen what you are asking for, you will be so sure that you have it that you can present it in court as evidence to any judge, telling them, "See what I have."

For a long time, I tried by my own power to increase my faith, but it was difficult. Then, I read Mark 9:24, where a man cried to Jesus, saying that he believes but that Jesus should help his unbelief. In minutes, what Jesus was asking him to believe for

was done. I also started praying that God should help my faith, and l have seen my faith grow tremendously since then. If you pray the same prayer, Jesus will give your faith a boost, and you will be able to overcome unbelief.

PRAYER POINT

Lord, I believe in you; please help my faith.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 44-46

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE

1. Who is my life but Christ alone?

I seek no joy beside;

His love and peace flow in my soul,

An everlasting tide.

2. Who is my hope but Christ in me,

The hope of glory bright?

No one but Jesus set me free,

He only is my light.

3. What is the church but Christ alone?

No other fold I need;

I live in Him, the living vine,

His word my only creed.

4. Who but the Savior died for me?

He only did atone

For all my sins upon the tree,

He drank the cup alone.

5. Who purchased me when lost in sin

But Christ, whose love I own?

O Lamb of God, my all is Thine,

I am no more my own.
