DATE: MONDAY FEBRUARY 3RD 2025

TOPIC: GOD COMFORTS

MEMORISE:

“As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” - (Isaiah 66:13)

READ: ISAIAH 40:1-2 (KJV)

1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.

MESSAGE:

One of the names of the Holy Spirit is 'The Comforter' (John 14:26). Jesus made a promise in John 14:18: "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." He is 'The Truth' (John 14:6), so when He says that He will not leave you comfortless, He really means it. Many times, however, when someone is grieving and the fellow is not open to listening to Him, he or she will not receive the comfort that He gives.

God is a Comforter; I am saying this from an assurance in God's word and from my experiences. I have gone through many tough times, and God has always been there to comfort me. Many years ago, I used to know a fantastic young boy; I was very proud of him because of his passion for the things of God such as evangelism and Bible study. During his mandatory National Youth Service programme, he died. When he died, the other Christian Youth Corps members came together and started praying for him to return to life. After a while, he came back to life, sat up and said, "God asked me to come and tell you that you are disturbing Him," and then he died again. When I heard of his death, I was very sad for weeks. Then, one day, God asked me, "Why are you so sad?" I responded, "Because you took this boy from me." God replied, "No. You are sad because your boy went to heaven ahead of you. Tell me, if you are going to a new country that you have never been to, wouldn't you like someone you know to be there, waiting to receive you?" I said, "That is true." Then He said, "Your boy has only gone ahead of you to receive you when you also get to heaven." Immediately after that conversation, my spirit was lifted.

When God said that He will never leave you nor forsake you in Hebrews 13:5, the purpose of that statement is so that you can have comfort in the knowledge that He is with you all the way. If you are currently experiencing heartbreak from any sad occurrence, I can tell you assuredly that Jesus is sitting right beside you, putting His hand around your shoulder and comforting you. You only need to open up to Him so that He can heal your broken heart. He loves you more than you can imagine, and He doesn't want to see you sad. Allow God to comfort you. 

 PRAYER POINT:

Father, I open up my heart to You. Please fill me up with Your comforting love, in Jesus' name. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: LEVITICUS 19-21

AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 

HYMNAL: 29 - WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER ATTENDETH MY WAY 

1 When peace like a river attendeth my way,

when sorrows like sea billows roll;

whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,

"It is well, it is well with my soul."

Refrain (may be sung after final stanza only):

It is well with my soul;

it is well, it is well with my soul.

2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

let this blest assurance control:

that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

and has shed his own blood for my soul. 

3 My sin oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!

my sin, not in part, but the whole,

is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;

praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! 

4 O Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,

the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;

the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend;

even so, it is well with my soul.

TOPIC: GOD PROTECTS

MEMORISE:

“The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.” - (Psalm 121:7)

READ: PSALM 91:1-16 (KJV)

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

MESSAGE:

My God is called the Consuming Fire (Hebrews 12:29). However, He doesn't consume His children but rather, their enemies. God is so jealous about His children that when enemies gather against them, He ensures that they scatter in seven different directions (Deuteronomy 28:25). He promised to protect you such that not even a strand of your hair will be lost (Luke 21:18).

I wouldn't be alive today if my God is not a protective father, and I can tell you a lot of stories about the numerous times He has protected me from danger. When I moved into the camp that has now grown to become Redemption City with my family, there were snakes everywhere. Some of those snakes were so big that they would fill up the trunk of a Mercedes Benz car. I remember, on one occasion, I entered my children's room and found a snake there. I don't know exactly why I went into the room; I just know that God moved me to go there because He wanted to protect my children.

God also protects against spiritual forces. So many times, the devil has tried to attack me, especially in the early days of my ministry when we were just learning to deal with a lot of spiritual attacks from the kingdom of darkness. On one occasion during a Holy Ghost Service, there were two witches in the congregation planning to attack me. One spoke to the other and said, "It is time; let us attack him now." Though there were thousands of people in the congregation, God opened my ears, and I heard them. I stopped the service immediately and asked them to come out if they did not want to incur God's wrath. To everyone's surprise, they came out and confessed. If God had not revealed it to me, the story might have been different.

If you are a child of God, you must walk in the consciousness of His protection over you. Don't be afraid of the arrows of the enemy; they cannot come near you because God protects you. I am so conscious of God's protection over me that if I am walking and my leg hits a stone, I will turn to Him and say, "Lord, I hope I have not offended you in any way. If I have, please forgive me." This is because His word says that He will give His angels charge over me so I wouldn't dash my foot against a stone (Psalm 91:11). 

 REFLECTION:

God protects His children. Are you one of them? 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: LEVITICUS 16-18

HYMNAL: 19 - ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME

1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

let me hide myself in thee;

let the water and the blood,

from thy wounded side which flowed,

be of sin the double cure;

save from wrath and make me pure.

2 Not the labors of my hands

can fulfill thy law's demands;

could my zeal no respite know,

could my tears forever flow,

all for sin could not atone;

thou must save, and thou alone.

3 Nothing in my hand I bring,

simply to the cross I cling;

naked, come to thee for dress;

helpless, look to thee for grace;

foul, I to the fountain fly;

wash me, Savior, or I die.

4 While I draw this fleeting breath,

when mine eyes shall close in death,

when I soar to worlds unknown,

see thee on thy judgment throne,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

let me hide myself in thee.

THEME:  GOD TEACHES I

MEMORISE:  For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.  Isaiah 28:26

READ:  Psalms 25:4-12 

4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

MESSAGE

While I was studying for my PhD, l was faced with 186 simultaneous equations, which I had been trying to solve for 18 months. With no solution in sight, it looked like I would have to pick a new problem to solve, meaning that my 18 months of efforts would go to waste. One night, around 10 pm, after battling the problem and still not making progress, I decided to read my Bible and go to bed. I was reading Exodus 14, where the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, and I heard God's voice, "That is the solution to your problem." It didn't make sense to me that the story of the crossing of the Red Sea would be the solution to a PhD thesis problem. However, God said further, "Go and bring your equations." l obeyed, and He started teaching me, instructing me to put some equations on the left and some on the right. By the time I finished, I realized that all the ones on the left had something in common, likewise the ones on the right. Then, God said, "Now, solve the equations on the left together and those on the right together. Then, bring the two together." God taught me Mathematics with the parting of the Red Sea, and after five hours, my thesis was ready. It was so good that the external examiner said that he had no questions for me.

God teaches His children through His word. If you are an ardent student of the Bible, every now and then, as you study, He will teach you things that will make difficult situations become easy for you. David said in Psalm 119:105:

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Sometimes, the solution to your problem may come from just simply reading the Bible without necessarily having a man of God lay hands on your head. Unfortunately, many Christians don't read their Bible, and that is why they continue to struggle with simple problems for many years. Jesus said in John 8:32:

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Having a knowledge of the truth through God's word will ensure that you live victoriously. Students know that if they don't study their textbooks, they will fail their exams. Your Bible is the textbook of life; study it so that you will not fail in life.

ACTION POINT

Make sure you spend quality time studying your Bible every day.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Leviticus 11-13

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD 

1. When we walk with the Lord 

in the light of his word, 

what a glory he sheds on our way! 

While we do his good will, 

he abides with us still, 

and with all who will trust and obey. 

Refrain:

Trust and obey, for there's no other way 

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 

2. Not a burden we bear, 

not a sorrow we share, 

but our toil he doth richly repay; 

not a grief or a loss, 

not a frown or a cross, 

but is blest if we trust and obey. 

3. But we never can prove 

the delights of his love 

until all on the altar we lay; 

for the favor he shows, 

for the joy he bestows, 

are for them who will trust and obey. 

4. Then in fellowship sweet 

we will sit at his feet, 

or we'll walk by his side in the way; 

what he says we will do, 

where he sends we will go; 

never fear, only trust and obey.

MEMORISE:

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” - (Psalm 23:1)

READ: GENESIS 22:7-14 (KJV)

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

MESSAGE:

I became the General Overseer of RCCG about 45 years ago. At that time, the total income of the church was less than my monthly salary from the university I resigned from. The church had 39 other members of staff, and after paying them, there was usually nothing left for the General Overseer. As a human being, I turned to God and said, "Lord, I told You to leave me alone where I was lecturing, afterall, I was already pastoring. After collecting my salary, I always deduct money for food and fuel for my car, and the rest goes to Your work. Now, what I am getting from the government is no longer available, and this is the income of the church. What guarantee do I have that I will survive?" Then, God made me a promise, "Son, I have only one guarantee to give you; wherever you go, I will be with you." Truly, God hasn't failed me: in 45 years, I have neither borrowed nor begged. Indeed, God provides.

When you see someone who cannot testify to the fact that God provides, it is likely that you have found someone who is stingy, even to God. If you pay attention to my story in the first paragraph, you will see that even when I was a lecturer, almost all my money was given to God. Hence, whenever I am in need, He has never failed me. Luke 6:38 says that it is when you give that it shall be given unto you. The widow of Zarephath understood this, so when God, through Prophet Elijah, asked for her last meal, she gave it. In return, she had more than enough food to last her throughout the famine.

God has been so gracious to many people such that giving Him all their money is not enough to say 'thank you' to Him. Despite this, when He asks them for just a little of what they have, they would say 'no'. Apart from being stingy to God, a lot of them are also stingy to people around them, especially the less privileged. Proverbs 21:13 says:

Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

Beloved, if you want God to provide for you, don't be stingy to His work, men and women of God, those around you, or the poor. The liberal soul will surely be made fat (Proverbs 11:25). 

 ACTION POINT:

Cultivate the habit of giving to support God's work, His ministers, and those in need around you.

O for grace to trust him more!

2 O how sweet to trust in Jesus,

THEME:  THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES

MEMORISE:  Wherefore God also hath highly exalteth him, and given him a name which is above every name:   Philippians 2:9

READ:  Jeremiah 32:17-20 

17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

18 Thou shewest loving kindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,

19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;

MESSAGE

Years ago, a young man was involved in a road accident in which everyone else died except him. He was taken to a hospital and was in a coma for several days. While still in coma, he would occasionally regain consciousness and shout, "Jesus." Then, he would relapse. This kept reoccurring until he regained full consciousness. He recovered fully, and He is still alive as | write this.

No matter how helpless a situation is, when you call on the name of Jesus, everything turns around for good. The name of Jesus is enough to bring down any mountain. Philippians 2:10 says:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

A young boy, who was the son of a Muslim cleric, gave his life to Christ. His father felt embarrassed that his son had converted to Christianity, and after many arguments and persuasions, it became clear that his son was unwilling to reverse his decision. Feeling frustrated, the father got his fellow clerics to produce a charm to attack his son. One day, he called his son's name with the charm, and as expected from a son who hears his father's call, the boy answered. As he answered, the young boy looked up and saw a big rock coming towards him. Immediately, he shouted, "Jesus!" and it disappeared. It was a spiritual attack, but it failed at the mention of the name of Jesus.

The name of Jesus is powerful and potent all by itself. This is why you must learn to use it in the face of impending danger. However, you should not call the name of Jesus in vain or as a mere exclamation. Do not call the name of Jesus casually so you do not attract the wrath of the owner of the name. Even as a human being, you would not like it if people toyed with your name; how much more the Most High God? Exodus 20:7 says:

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Beloved, you will overcome whatever challenges you face if you call upon the name of Jesus. As the Bible says in Romans 10:13, whosoever calls on the name of Jesus shall be saved.

KEY POINT

The name of Jesus is not an ordinary name; it is filled with power!

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Exodus 38-40

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME
