TOPIC: DON'T DISCRIMINATE


MEMORISE

“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” - (John 7:24)


READ: 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (KJV)


1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;


2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.


3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;


4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.


MESSAGE


God loves believers, and He loves unbelievers too. In today's Bible reading, we see that He wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as God can send angels and other people to you, He also wants to be able to send you as He sent Phillip to the Ethiopian eunuch. He wants you to be the answer to someone's questions and the solution to people's problems. He is looking for people to send like Peter, whom He sent to Cornelius' house to extend the good news to the Gentiles (Acts 10). When He sends you, I hope you won't refuse the assignment, especially if the person He's sending you to is considered to be a chronic sinner.


Nobody is too rotten to be saved. I have always said it; if I were God, I wouldn't have saved Adeboye. I was really rotten and had blasphemed God several times before I gave my life to Christ. However, look at me now; God's grace is enabling me to lead millions of people to Himself.


Paul was a terrorist who persecuted Christians. I'm sure that if God had sent some people to preach to him, they would have refused because he could have had them arrested immediately. It took a visitation from Jesus to bring him to his knees, but after that, he needed Christians to guide him. First, the Lord told Ananias about him (Acts 9:1-17). I am sure that if God had told some other Christians about Saul at that time, they would have shut down His voice, thinking it was satan trying to push them into trouble. However, Ananias was a true disciple who knew God's voice and was ready to obey Him. He didn't discriminate against Paul despite his sinful past.


Barnabas also didn't discriminate against Paul. While other believers were scared of associating with Paul, Barnabas went to Tarsus to find him and bring him to Antioch, where they taught other people (Acts 11:25-26). The man who had formerly thrown believers in prison began to win souls for Christ.


Beloved, God can save anyone; no one is too far gone to be saved. He seeks believers like Ananias, whom He can send to those who have lived rough and reckless lives. He seeks disciples like Barnabas, who will look for such people and guide them in doing God's assignment for their lives. Don't discriminate against anyone; rather, help them get to know Christ more. 


KEY POINT

No one is too far gone to be saved by Christ.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Zechariah 11 - 14


HYMN 24 - I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS


1. I want to be like Jesus, 

So lowly and so meek; For no one mark'd an angry word, That ever heard Him speak.


2. I want to be like Jesus, 

So frequently in prayer; Alone upon the mountain top, 

He met his Father there. 


3. I want to be like Jesus, 

I never, never find That He, though persecuted was To anyone unkind. 


4. I want to be like Jesus, 

Engaged in doing good; So that of me it may be said 

"He hath done what he could."

 

5. I want to be like Jesus, 

Who sweetly said to all, "Let little children come to Me;" I would obey the call. 


6. But oh I'm not like Jesus, 

As anyone may see; o gentle Saviour, send Thy grace, And make me like to Thee

SPIRITUAL GROWTH

3.Father, please help me to desire the sincere milk of Your word so I can grow spiritually, in Jesus' name.


4.Father, please help me to continue in the place of steadfastness in studying Your word, worshipping intensely, prayer and fasting often, and witnessing; putting my body under subjection, that I may grow spiritually, in Jesus' name.


5.Father, please help me to increase my spiritual capacity to take responsibilities in Your kingdom so I won't be at the mercy of every satanic attack, in Jesus' name.


6.Father, please help me to pay the price for spiritual growth. When giving out important assignments, please do not bypass me, in Jesus' name.


7.Father, please let my desire be for Your presence and righteousness, empower me to do Your will always and not my own will, in Jesus' name.

TOPIC: SPIRITUAL GROWTH


MEMORISE

“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all.” - (Galatians 4:1)


READ: 1 Peter 2:1-3 (KJV)

1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,


2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:


3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.


MESSAGE

A Christian who refuses to grow spiritually will be controlled by what he or she should be in control of. Such a Christian will beg to have things that should ordinarily be in his or her possession.


Until you grow spiritually, there is a limit to what God can trust you with. Hence, you must take personal responsibility for your spiritual growth. Don't depend on your pastors to do what you should do by yourself. Any Christian who does not grow spiritually will be ill-prepared to face the storms of life. He or she will be unable to take on responsibilities in God's kingdom and will be at the mercy of every satanic attack.


When giving out important assignments, God will always bypass a spiritual baby for a more mature believer. This is why it is important for you to pay the price for spiritual growth. You need to consistently feed on the word of God and spend time in His presence.


Many years ago, when nobody lived at the Redemption Camp (now Redemption City), I would leave my house in Mushin, a suburb of Lagos every Tuesday morning and stay at the camp until Thursday morning. Apart from me, the only other people at the camp were the carpenters who were involved in the ongoing construction work. However, they would stop as soon as it was dark and retire for the day, leaving me alone to seek God's face with all my heart all night. One night - I remember that night like it was yesterday - I prayed: "Father, I surrender all. It is only You that I want. I don't want to be an ordinary pastor. I am not asking for gold, clothes, or fame. I just want You to empower me to do this work. If You're not going to do it, please take me away." That day, God answered my prayers, and there was a tremor in the camp that was felt as far as in Ijebu Ode, a town that is over 60 kilometres away. When you desire to grow spiritually, God will visit you in mighty ways that will shake your world for good.


Beloved, what is hindering your spiritual growth? Have you become too busy chasing after worldly pleasures? Have the cares of this life choked your love for God? Strive to continually grow spiritually so that you will not be tossed to and fro by the devil's tricks (Ephesians 4:14). 


PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to deal with everything hindering me from growing spiritually, in Jesus' name. 


AUTHOR: Pastor E. A. Adeboye


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Zechariah 6 - 10


HYMN 23 - TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE


1. Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to thee, 

Take my moment and my days, 

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.


2. Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of thy love, 

Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee.


3. Take my voice and let me sing always only for my king, Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from thee.


4. Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite would I withhold, Take my intellect, and use every power as thou shalt choose.


5. Take my will and make it Thine, 

It shall be no longer mine: 

Take my heart, it is Thine own; 

It shall be Thy royal throne, 


6. Take my Love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store; 

Take myself, and I will be ever only all for thee.

PRAYER POINTS 


1.Father, "as higher as the heavens is to the earth, so are Your ways and Your thoughts higher than mine" what a Mighty God You are!


2.Father, You choose whosoever and anything You wish to use to show forth Your power and glory, and no one can question Your authority.


3.Father, You prepared a table before me, in the presence of my enemies; You anointed my head with oil, and my cup runs over. Thank You for being with me, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.


4.Father, please help me to believe You, and when I'm asked to do anything, help me to obey Your instructions completely, in Jesus' name.


5.Father, please help me wait and trust in You, even when it appears I have to wait forever. Help me not to learn the hard way of having to obey You, in Jesus' name.

7.Father, I commit all my thoughts to You, please order my steps in Your way, and please don't let me ever go, if You will not go with me, in Jesus' name.


8.Father, please do not take away Your presence from me. Show me the path to walk so I won't destroy Your plans for my life and family, in Jesus name.


9.Father, just like the stick sank for the axe head to float, You died, buried and rose again to live forever so I reign with You forever; please let every good thing that I had lost be restored back to me in full, in Jesus' name.


10.Father, please help me to walk with You in faith and obedience. Help me never to do things my own way without involving You, in Jesus' name.


11.Father, please bless Your son, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye in all areas of his life.


Get involved in his life and ministry, and help him never to out of Your will; bless his home, and family (biological and spiritual), and help them to continue to produce sons and daughters to Your glory, in Jesus' name.

THEME: HIS WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WAYS


MEMORISE: 

For my thoughts are not your though ts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.  

Isaiah 55:8-9


READ: 2 Kings 6:1-7 

1  And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.


2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.


3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.


4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.


5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! For it was borrowed.


6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.


7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.


MESSAGE

God’s ways are beyond natural human comprehension. He can choose to make a donkey talk (Numbers 22:28), provide resources in unusual places (Matthew 17:27), and use a sworn enemy to arrange for a fellow’s promotion at work like He used the Egyptians to sponsor the Israelites’ journey in the wilderness (Exodus 12:36). As a believer, don’t think you can understand all of God’s ways – all He requires from you is your faith and obedience. When you ask Him for something, you should do whatever He tells you to do and believe that He is more than able to meet your requests.

People who think that God is too slow and that they can handle things by themselves often get into trouble.

 

Abraham learnt this the hard way when Sarah convinced him to help God by having a child through her servant (Genesis 16:2). That single decision is the cause of some of the major problems in the world today. If God has said He will do something, He will do it to perfection; you cannot do it better than Him.


In today’s Bible reading, the sons of the prophets wanted to build a bigger accommodation, and they came to tell Elisha. They decided to go beside the Jordan River to get wood for the construction, and while the others were excited to start the project, one of them asked Elisha to go with them.


Beloved, it is good to make plans and embark on projects. However, if you don’t involve God in all you do, your ‘well-laid-out plans’ can crumble. This was what happened to the sons of the prophets. While they were happily cutting down wood and gathering it for their building project, they suddenly had a setback. One of them had borrowed an axe, and while cutting wood with it, the axe-head fell into the water. Apart from negatively affecting the completion timeline of the project, this setback also meant that they had incurred some debt because the axe was borrowed. Thank God one of them had earlier involved Elisha. He simply asked them where the axe-head fell, cut down a stick, and threw it into the water. What happened next cannot be explained by science; the stick sank, and the heavy axe head swam.


God’s ways are not man’s ways, and only a fool will always try to explain how God works. When it comes to relating with God, faith and obedience is all He expects of you because His ways are past finding out.


KEY POINT

You cannot always understand God’s ways. All you need to do is believe in Him.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Zechariah 1-5


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.

THEME: BREAKING EVIL PATTERNS


MEMORISE: But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast

been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;  

2 Timothy 3:14


READ: Luke 11:21-26

21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:


22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.


23 He that Is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.


24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.


25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.


26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.


MESSAGE

Whenever demons get involved in people’s lives, they usually set up evil patterns in their lives that become difficult to break. Such patterns will become so strong that such people will feel helpless, even when they can see themselves heading towards destruction.


When you speak to people who are addicted to pornography or engage in a bad habit like smoking, you will often learn that the pattern started when things in their lives were beginning to look promising. The devil set up those evil patterns in the lives of his victims to ensure that they do not experience the things that God has in store for them. However, once the patterns are broken, they become free from his stronghold.


To break these evil patterns, it is important to ask the Holy Spirit for help. Today’s Bible reading tells us that only a stronger man can take things that are in the possession of a strong man. When a demon tries to introduce an evil pattern into the life of a believer, the Holy Spirit helps him or her to prevent it. Many people make the mistake of relying on their strength to fight off the devil; however, that does not work. Instead, they should engage in spiritual exercise that will cause them to be filled with the Holy Ghost. They can start worshipping God or praying in Tongues. As they do this, they will weaken the devil’s influence in their lives. They must, however, be willing to continue in this practice indefinitely. As they continue to do this, they will discover after a while that they have become so strong in the Holy Spirit, and the yoke has been broken over them. Isaiah 10:27 says that the yoke will be broken by reason of the anointing. 


Jesus said in today’s Bible reading that when a demon is cast out of a person, it will return to check the state of its former accommodation. If it finds the place clean and empty, it will repossess the person and invite seven worse Demons than itself to also come in. This means that if an evil pattern has been broken over the life of a believer, he or she must continually grow in God’s grace. Such a fellow must pray, fast, study the Scriptures, and fellowship with other believers consistently. The deeper such a fellow goes in Christ, the more assured he or she will be of a permanent victory over all forms of evil patterns.


KEY POINT

Fellowshipping with God is the key to breaking all evil that might exist in lives.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Haggai 1-2


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.
