TOPIC: START FROM YOUR JERUSALEM   MEMORISE:  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Act 1: 8   READ : Luke 16:10-11 10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?   MESSAGE Many Christians profess that they are the light of the world, which is good because it is the mandate that Jesus gave his followers in Matthew 5:14. However, many of them have not even allowed the light of Christ to shine in their homes, nor have they preached the gospel of Christ to anyone around them. Do you know that if every Christian took it upon themselves to win their hometown to Christ, the whole world could have been saved by now?...

Memorize: One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. Psalms 27:4

Read: Exodus 33:18-23

Moses was a student of the school of obedience. So also was Jesus and great Bible heroes. The grade with which you graduate from this school goes a long way in determining the glory of God you will have and the fulfillment of your destiny.
As Moses' score in obedience improved, he began to witness certain developments in his life. He became a carrier of God's high level of glory and also attracted God's presence wherever he went. Other Israelites went to the tabernacle to pray and worship God but nothing unusual happened.
But when Moses entered the same tabernacle, the pillar of cloud came and stood at the door of the tabernacle. As he persisted in obedience and prayed, not only did the cloud of glory become a reoccurring decimal in his life, but also the pillar of fire. In his case, these two manifest signs of God's glorious presence were physical.

Moses basked in the glory of the Lord, yet like Oliver Twist, he was not satisfied. He kept craving for more. He set aside past encounters with God. During an intense moment of prayer, he asked God to show him His glory and God did. God watches us very closely.
He knows those who are serious about receiving His glory and those who are not. Also from this, we learn that before you can access a higher level of glory, you must intensely desire it as well as fervently pray for it. While others were busy asking for material blessings, Moses was asking for God's glory.
The level of God's glory Moses requested for was such that no human being could withstand. But God relaxed certain conditions before showing Moses His glory so that he did not taste death at the time. Moses saw God's glory and bowed. The children of Israel saw God's glory on Moses and bowed too.
God's glory had rubbed off on him. You too can desire the glory to a point that everyone will know that the glory of God you carry is unquenchable.

KEY POINT: Obedience is a door leading to all blessings from God. When combined with strong desire, they open up great possibilities. 
Bible in one year: Ezekiel 34-36

TOPIC : OVERFLOWING MERCY MEMORISE : “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;).” - (Ephesians 2:4-5) READ : MARK 1:40-45 (KJV) 40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 45 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the cit...

TOPIC: THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER 4 MEMORISE:  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12 READ: Bible Reading Romans 6:1-23 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead w...

TOPIC: AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT  MEMORIZE   Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Daniel 6:3 READ :  Romans 12:10-21 [10]Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; [11]Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; [12]Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; [13]Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality  [14]Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. [15]Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. [16]Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate.
