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

SEASONS OF LIFE Thursday 7 June 2012

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22
Read: Psalms 16:5-8
According to John 9:4, in everyone’s life, there is a day season and a night season. The former is ruled by the sun while the latter is ruled by the moon. In the life of believers, the Sun of Righteousness is ready to rule your day season hence He instructs believers to be ready to do their best during the day. Even the Lord acknowledges the difficulty of working in the night. If you will be a king in Heaven and occupy one of the thrones there, you must learn to work in your day season. The average day season starts from childhood to about 59. Your night season starts from 60 years. If you are below 60, make haste to do the bidding of the Lord. Ensure you fulfill His purpose for your life. If you are 60 and above but have not done much, ask God to have mercy on you and turn your night season into day. He did that for Moses, who at the age of 80 when he should be retiring, God commissioned him. He even served for 40 years up till 120 years. He could have continued but for anger. If Moses could achieve so much for God in ministry at that age, you too can. In fact, you can do much more.
Take stock of your achievements in the Kingdom. Has God specifically told you what He wants you to do? Have you done those things exceptionally well? God deserves the highest quality of service from His children. Is there anything left undone? Is there any aspect of the work you have done that needs to be improved upon? If you were sitting for an examination, and have finished but you still have some time left, you would most likely go over the questions and the answers you provided to be sure you have not goofed. You can apply the same to your work for God. You can make necessary corrections while you can. Ensure you render quality services to the Lord. Offer sacrificial services too. Do everything you can just to please the Master.
PRAYER POINTS:
Lord, may l never be found wanting in my divine assignments and grant me grace to complete them in their season.
 
Bible in one year: Psalms 13-15

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
