DATE:  MONDAY MARCH 10TH 2025


THEME:  THE GREAT INVITATION


MEMORIZE:  

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 

Isaiah 55:1


READ:  John 7:37-39

37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.


38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.


39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)


MESSAGE 

Jesus gave what many call "The Great Invitation' to everyone (Matthew 11:28-30). He promised to give rest to everyone who comes to Him, and that includes you.


Jesus said in Matthew 6:31 that you should never worry. He wants you to cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). He owns you, so He will take care of you. The question now is, does Jesus really own you? Does He own the thoughts of your heart, the direction and focus of your eyes, and your resources? If He truly owns you, then you have nothing to worry about. However, if there are parts of your life that you haven't surrendered totally to Him, then there's cause for worry.

My Father in the Lord taught me that it is what your father has that he will take care of you with. If God is your Father and owner, then He will take care of you with pleasures forevermore because they are abundant at His right hand (Psalm 16:11). However, if the devil owns you and you do his will, he will take care of you with lies and torment because that is his specialty. When the devil owns a fellow, that fellow will always be I need, because true satisfaction can only be found in God. The devil has nothing good to offer his own. While he has slaves, God has sons, and as a son of the Most High, all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21). God is extending a great invitation to you today, just like the one Jesus extended to the crowd on the great day of the feast in today's Bible reading. He is calling you to come and drink and to come and buy wine without money and without price. He is calling you to a life of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17).


I call heaven and earth to record this day...that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:    Deuteronomy 30:19


The ball is in your court. Do not live in anxiety, fear, and confusion; accept the great invitation to surrender completely to God so you can enjoy all the goodies He has for His children. When you choose life, you make the best choice, not only for yourself but also for generations after you. Beloved, accept God's great invitation -choose life.


REFLECTION

Are you choosing life with your thoughts, words, actions, and decisions?


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Joshua 18-20


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 27: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

1. What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer!


2. Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer!


3. Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge--

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!

In his arms he'll take and shield you;

you will find a solace there.

DATE: SUNDAY, MARCH 9TH 2025


TOPIC: CREATIVE MIRACLES


MEMORISE:

“But Jesus beheld them and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” - (Matthew 19:26)


READ: JOHN 9:1-7 (KJV)


1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.


2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?


3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.


4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.


5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.


6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,


7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.


MESSAGE:

Miracles are extraordinary events that defy natural and scientific explanations. Our God is a God of miracles, and He takes great delight in shocking doubters and sceptics. God does different kinds of miracles, but today, I will focus on His creative miracles.


God performs creative miracles when people have concluded that a terrible situation is beyond remedy - nothing is impossible for Him. In today's Bible reading, Jesus and His disciples passed by a man who had been born blind, and the disciples asked Jesus about whose sin was responsible for the man's predicament. Jesus told them that it wasn't a question of sin but that the man's condition was intended to bring God glory. Jesus spat on the ground, made some mud, and put it on the blind man's eyes. He then told the man to go and wash, and after he washed off the mud, he came back seeing. That is what I call a creative miracle - a miracle involving the act of creation. If the doctors have said that you have an irreversible medical condition, God will recreate the part of your body that is affected, in Jesus' name. This was what God did in (2 Kings 5:1-14) when He healed Naaman's leprosy and made his flesh become like that of a newborn baby.


I have seen numerous cases of women who didn't have a womb but who gave birth to babies. Some of them had multiple births more than once. God is able to handle genetic issues, change blood groups, replace missing body parts, and even increase or reduce people's weights and heights. A man who had childlike faith once sat listening to me. As miracles happened around the altar, he struggled to see all that was happening because his sight was blocked by people who were taller than him. He then said in his heart, "If only I was taller." God heard him and told me that there was someone in the congregation who wished he was taller. He told me to tell the person to look down, and if he finds that his trousers have become shorter, he should know that there is nothing wrong with them because he is the one who had grown taller. When it was time for testimonies, he came forward with his wife, who testified that her husband had indeed grown taller. How do you explain that? God's creative power was at work to make the impossible possible.


I pray that God will give you creative miracles, in Jesus' name. 


 PRAYER POINT:

Father, please stretch forth Your mighty hands to heal and do mighty wonders and creative miracles in my life and family, in Jesus’ name (Acts 4:30). 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JOSHUA 14-17

HYMN: 25 - THE GREAT PHYSICIAN NOW IS NEAR 


1 The great Physician now is near,

the sympathizing Jesus;

He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,

oh! hear the voice of Jesus.

Refrain:

Sweetest note in seraph song,

sweetest name on mortal tongue;

sweetest carol ever sung,

Jesus, blessed Jesus.


2 Your many sins are all forgiven,

oh! hear the voice of Jesus;

go on your way in peace to heaven,

and wear a crown with Jesus. 


3 All glory to the risen Lamb!

I now believe in Jesus;

I love the blessed Savior's name,

I love the name of Jesus. 


4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,

no other name but Jesus;

oh! how my soul delights to hear

the charming name of Jesus.

TOPIC: ASK FOR MERCY


MEMORISE:

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” - (Hebrews 4:16)


READ: LUKE 18:10-14 (KJV)


10  Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.


11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.


12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.


13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.


14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.


MESSAGE:

A brilliant Bible study leader always taught married couples that when the wife is pregnant and is about to deliver, all they need do is bind all the bindables, loose all the loosables, command the baby to come out, and the baby will be delivered easily. When he got married, and his wife became pregnant and was about to deliver, he said the same prayers, but the baby did not come out. After his wife had been in labour for three days, he fell on his face and said, "God, just have mercy on me." When he went back to see his wife, their baby had been delivered safely.


God is rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4); His mercy is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him (Psalm 103:17). In Mark 1:40-42, a leper came to Jesus and said, "I know you can heal me if you are willing." Jesus, moved with compassion, said, "I will," and He did.


Beloved, when your prayers don't seem to be answered, just ask God for mercy; He hardly ignores such a plea. In today's Bible reading, Jesus told the story of two fellows who went to the temple to pray. One of them, a Pharisee, told God about all his good deeds; the other, a publican, bowed his head and said, "God be merciful to me, a sinner." The man who cried for mercy was the one who returned home justified. When you ask for mercy, you acknowledge your helplessness before God, and He will respond to you with help. Bartimaeus' cry for mercy reached Jesus' ears, and he got his miracle. He didn't only receive his sight; Jesus made him whole (Mark 10:46-52). The woman from Tyre and Sidon cried for mercy on behalf of her demon-possessed daughter, and Jesus helped her (Matthew 15:21-28). Those who ask God for mercy never leave empty-handed.


You need God's mercy when things are good and when they are not so good. You need mercy when you are in need and when you are satisfied. When in need, God's mercy will bring you answers to problems, and in good times, His mercy will preserve your blessings. The cry for mercy shouldn't only be on the lips of those who are in trouble and need urgent help; even those who live in abundance and believe they don't have problems must ask for mercy so nothing will tamper with their blessings. 


 ACTION POINT:

Go ahead and ask for mercy in every area of your life. 


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JOSHUA 11-13


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?
