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

Memorize: Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. Isaiah 8:10

Read: Isaiah 8:9 -10

God’s promises give us a wide scope of expectations. When God is protecting you, it covers every area leaving no stone unturned. Usually, the devil or any of his agents such as herbalists, false prophets, witches and wizards or occultists could team up with your enemies against you. This is not strange and do not be frightened because of their number. According to His promises, every gang up against you shall meet their waterloo. In fact, Isaiah 54:15-17 assures you that God will never join your enemies against you. Be aware that He is in every evil gathering to know their plot and find out a way to frustrate them. You have a divine representative in every meeting of the evil ones. While they are planning to ensure you, He is planning to reverse their plan. Every evil plan of darkness against you this season shall be destroyed. Similarly, in Isaiah 8:9, God says every association against you shall be broken in pieces and whatever they use to strengthen themselves in their plot against you shall meet the same fate.

Do you know that God is aware of all the weapons your enemies want to use against you, whether visible or invisible? God knows all their workings and abilities and He promises to withdraw their ability to function against you. Wherever there is a bomb scare, bomb disposal experts are employed who know the different types of bombs and their effect on mankind. They help in early detection and detonation of identified bombs. The same applies in the area of firearms. The Almighty God being the Manufacturer of all manufacturers, Creator of all creatures, including wasters such as the devil and his cohorts, says “no weapon”, this means no weapon, can harm you. No gun or bomb or any other device can harm you except with His permission if you are living for Him and you are walking in total obedience to Him. Another weapon is the tongue as it is capable of kindling much fire and destroying an individual’s reputation through gossip, slander, backbiting, curses, lies, etc. Yet in Isaiah 8:10 and Isaiah 54:17, God says no tongue can stand against you. Arise and hold on to God’s unfailing promises and silence any tongue that has risen against you.

Prayer point:
Every visible weapon against my life and destiny, Father destroy it today.
Bible in one year: 1 Chronicles 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
