TOPIC: DEALING WITH DEMONIC REPRESSION   MEMORISE :  Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for | will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. Isaiah 49:24-25    READ : Judges 6:1-6  1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. 2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds. 3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; 4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, n...

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: 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. Be not wise in your own conceits. [17]Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. [18]If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. [19]Dearly be...
