TOPIC: WHO DO PEOPLE SAY YOU ARE? MEMORISE : “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” - (Matthew 16:13) READ: Matthew 16:13-16 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. MESSAGE : Today’s topic is a question you must be conscious of. In today’s Bible reading, Jesus asked His disciples whom people said that He was. He wasn’t confused about His identity; He knew who He was, but He was concerned about how people perceived Him. You must be conscious of how people perceive you too. People will only relate with you based on what they think about you and not what you th

WHAT A GREAT GOD! Sunday 15 April 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:8.
Read: Matthew 15: 21-28
The first time l read 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 after l became born again, I felt Paul was talking about me because l could recall what l used to be before the Lord saved me. I believe some of you might have felt like that too. Our God can do in a day what a man cannot do in a thousand years.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:8
Our God is indeed very great, when He stops to simply say “Thank you”, you will be left in amazement as was experienced by Peter in Luke 5:1-7. Matthew 15:21-28 reveals that a crumb from His table is enough to liberate the captives. A little crumb is enough to solve your problems. Many years ago, when l was quite young, we had some drug sellers who came to our village telling us that a particular capsule could cure 200 diseases. We patronized them even when we knew they were deceiving us. But God is so great that just one touch from him can fix all your problems. He is so great that according to Joshua 6:20, just a shout of His praise can level every obstacle on the way to your breakthrough.
Many years ago, a woman who was vomiting was brought to us. The doctors had examined her, but found nothing wrong with her. They prescribed certain drugs for her but to no avail. We said to her, “Praise the Lord” and she responded with a powerful “Hallelujah”. As she responded, she vomited a worm. Let somebody shout Hallelujah! Our God is so great that after being praised for a few minutes, He could cause all the enemies to destroy themselves (2 Chronicles 20:20-25). As you praise God from today, He will cause your enemies to fight against themselves and destroy one another in Jesus name. Stop doing things according to your calculations. Trust the Lord and obey Him in faith and you will soon testify of His goodness. Any battle you know you cannot handle, turn it over to Him. Take time to praise and worship Him, release your faith and He will move in that situation.
ACTION POINT:
Spend at least one hour praising and worshipping the lord today with every member of your immediate family.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 1-3

TOPIC:  FRIENDS STRONGER THAN BROTHERS MEMORISE:  A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 READ: 1 Samuel 18:1-4   1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of  2 David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house. 3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. 4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. MESSAGE Friendship is a a very sensitive topic to discuss, especially in these last days when many have become lovers of themselves (2 Timothy 3:1-2). In spite of of this, however, everybody still needs good friends. Some friends can be closer to you than a brother-you need one or two of such friends

TOPIC:  IT SHALL BE WELL VI MEMORISE:  Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more lest a Worse thing come unto thee. John 5:14 READ: John 5:1-14   1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled,

TOPIC:  OVERCOMING LUSTS AND TEMPTATION MEMORISE:  Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:22  READ: 1 Corinthians 10:13  13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. MESSAGE What is leading you in life? Is it your flesh or the Spirit of God? Whenever you allow the flesh to give you direction, it will always ends in regret, but when you allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in all things, you can be sure that all will be well. The first step to overcoming lusts and temptations is submission to God, which supplies the power you need to resist the devil, and he will flee from you according to James 4:7. Moreover, the good news is that the faithfulness of God will not allow his children to be tempted above their ability, without making a way of escape for them. In our Bible reading today
