TOPIC: FREEDOM OF WORSHIP I MEMORISE :  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1   READ : Matthew 6:21-24 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.   MESSAGE All humans have the freedom to worship whatever they want to. Even in countries where people are restricted from worshipping publicly, nobody can restrict anyone from worshipping his or her 'god' privately. This freedom to worship has been given by God; however, you must be ...

FINGER OF JUDGEMENT Tuesday 2 October 2012

-

Memorise : in The same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Daniel 5:5
 
Read Daniel 5:1-5, 24-30
The finger of God can be an early warning sign from God, which if disregarded, it could bring full weight of judgement. When the magicians, sorcerers and wise men of Egypt got to a point in the miracle versus magic contest where they could go no further, they were the ones who announced to Pharaoh, “ Sir, that last miracle is beyond our magical powers. This can only be done by God” (Exodus 8:16-19). They warned and left the scene. If Pharaoh had received that warning, he and his people would have been spared but because he rejected it, they perished. So if you see the finger of God in the dream or vision, it could sometimes be warning you of some wrong deeds.
The finger of God
could also mean that judgement is imminent and inevitable. This was the experience of King Belshazzar in Daniel 5. While feasting with the golden and silver vessels that were brought from the temple in Jerusalem, he saw a hand like that of a man writing MENE, MENE TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This means, God had decided His judgement and there is no going back. On the same night he got the interpretation, he lost both his kingdom and life to Darius of the Medes Kingdom. What was his offence? He failed to learn from his father’s humbling experience and he desecrated vessels of God. If you are stealing from the church of God, you are tampering with dedicated vessels and calling for the finger of God’s judgement. You will notice that Belshazzzar was not the one who brought the vessels from the temple but his father. From this we learn that wherever anything that is stolen from God’s house is taken to, it will bring judgement upon those there irrespective of whether they were the original culprits or not, so far they are in collusion or are aware of the source. Never take anything that is stolen from the church or ministry! Thieves who even break into churches to steal will not only be terribly judged but also bring those who buy or “enjoy” their loot with them under terrible judgement.
ACTION POINT
Anything stolen from the Church or from God’s servant is an accursed item. Check to see if you have such an item. Return it to the church or owner today and pray for forgiveness.

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...
