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

FINGER OF MERCY Tuesday, September 25, 2012

-

Memorize: To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; Daniel 9:9
The finger of God is significant in that it is an agent of healing. In Mark 7:31-37, when a deaf and dumb fellow had a touch from the finger of Jesus, his ears opened and his tongue was loosed. As that finger touches you today, healing will take place. If you want to be healed of any type of sickness, you do not need God to come down, but just a touch of His finger.

No sickness or disease can remain in the body His finger has touched. He will touch you today and if there is any sickness, it will disappear forever. Similarly, the finger of God writes forgiveness and pardon for the guilty. In John 8:2-11, when some people brought a woman who was caught in the act of adultery to Jesus, they quoted the law and presented a strong case which should have claimed her life.

But while the accusations were being levied against her, Jesus stooped down and His finger began to write. Although they could not tell what He was writing on the ground, but by the time He ended His writing, all her accusers were gone, the woman was forgiven and turned from a sinner into a saint and released to go free.
Meanwhile, her accusers came as sinners and left as sinners because the finger did not write anything concerning them. Is the devil, who is the accuser of the brethren, accusing you today before the Lord? That same finger of God will write pardon and forgiveness in your records and dismiss every accusation.
The finger of God is the finger of mercy. It does not matter how many people are accusing you. It does not matter whether you are guilty or wrongly charged, in fact, you could have been caught red-handed in the crime you are accused of; if the finger of God comes into that situation and writes for you, all their accusations will become insignificant.

In fact, if care is not taken, like in this case, those who came to accuse you could become the accused. Jesus was ready to expose the sins each of them committed if any of them had cast the first stone. They would have had the disgrace of their lives! Sneaking away saved them from great embarrassment.

PRAYER POINT: There is no accusation against the one the finger of God has written mercy for. Father, let Your finger write mercy concerning me today.

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
