TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING HARVESTS MEMORIZE : 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 : Mark 4:26-29  26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. MESSAGE The first thing to understand about harvests is that they ultimately come from God. 1 Corinthians 3:6 says, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Also, harvests come in different levels, which Jesus identified as thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and hundredfold (Mark 4:20). Some Bible scholars believe that a thirtyfold harvest results from...

FAITHFUL GOD Sunday, September 30, 2012

-

Memorize: God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Romans 3:4


Apart from grace, one other thing God is unlimited in is faithfulness. Lamentations 3:23 says His faithfulness is great. God is not only faithful, He is incurably faithful. Being a faithful God entails fulfilling every promise made. It also means that in any situation that requires inputs from man and God, when man has done his, God will of necessity do His.
In most agreements involving God and man, if there is a breach, it can never be God; it always comes from man if only you take the pain to look beyond the surface. 2 Timothy 2:13 says even if all human beings deny God today, and all His children betray Him, God cannot deny Himself.

That means it is not what you say that will make Him to do what He will do. God is very responsible. Romans 3:4 says even when all men tell lies, God remains truthful. Being truthful is not just a trait, but it is His personality. He is the Truth (John 14:6). It is because of His faithfulness we are still living today.
Some years ago, at the end of that year, I sat at the Redemption camp and told the Lord we should have some tête-à-tête. I said, “Daddy, next Sunday, I will tell the congregation to praise You, but the truth is, I don't see anything worth praising You for in this year that is ending”.

“Is that so?” He asked. Then He asked me to get a note book and pen to do some writing. He asked me: “How many people sleep and never wake up? On January 1st, you slept and woke up. Write that as miracle number one. On January 2nd, you slept and woke up. That is miracle number two...” When He got to January 3rd, I fell on my face and told Him I will praise Him.
Do not take His little mercies for granted! A man who is sleeping is half dead. Waking you up after you slept is a miracle that only God can do because many go into eternity from sleep. Thank God for His faithfulness in your life and He will yet be faithful. I pray that as you please Him daily, He will always be there for you.

ACTION POINT: Throughout today, remain in an attitude of thanksgiving as you appreciate God for His faithfulness to you in every aspect of life.
Bible in one year: Revelation 5-6

TOPIC: COMMITTING GOD MEMORISE : I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Psalm 138:2 READ: ISAIAH 40:4-8 4. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5. And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 6. The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 7. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 8. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. MESSAGE : Do you know that it is possible to commit God to do some things for you and leave Him with no choice but to do them? Psalm 115:3 says that God is sove...

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: STAND FIRM MEMORISE:  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive: Ephesians 4:14 READ: Daniel 1:8-16  8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. 9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king. 11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten d...
