TOPIC :THE LAW OF HARVEST 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 (KJV) READ : 1 Corinthians 15:37-44 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in disho...

IDOLS BOW Wednesday 3 October 2012

Memorise: Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Isaiah 43:10
Read: Isaiah 43:10-13
Wherever God is, there is an aura that is unmistakably evident, which is called the glory of his presence. For most people who have had a definite experience with God, it is only the glory of God they could access. Only very few like Moses could go a little further. The truth remains that the presence of God wields the same power as the personality of God because where God’s presence is, God Himself is there. Several things are possible in His presence, one of which is that idols and power behind them not only bow but also surrender to God of gods. A classical example of this is documented in 1 Samuel 5: 1-5. In this account, the nation of Israel fought the philistines and God gave them into the hands of their enemies because of their disobedience. The Ark of Covenant was captured and taken into the house of Dagon – the national deity of the philistines. It was a huge image but it fell down before the Ark of Covenant which represented the presence of God. Initially, the priests of Dagon thought it was a mistake and stood the image again. But by the following morning, they were convinced beyond reasonable doubts that it was no mistake and never visited that temple again.
Some Christians are afraid of entering into a shrine to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ. It only shows that they do not know what they have inside of them. If you know who you are carrying, there will be no need to fear any idol. If you truly carry the glory of God and you step into a shrine, idol, temple or place of worship manned by false prophets, they will immediately fish you out and would be uncomfortable until you leave. If you don’t leave, a lot of things may go wrong. The demons will be unable to operate. In a local community where women were forbidden to go out during a particular idol festival and men were equally harassed, a brother went to the headquarters of the idol worshipers at the peak of their festival to preach Jesus to them. Do you know that they were afraid? They said the young brother must be carrying some dangerous powers hence he had the boldness to come and confront them there. Are you being threatened with some idol and you are afraid? If you are truly a child of God you should be feared and not the other way round. Ask God to increase His presence in your life today
KEY POINT:
The seeming defeat of God’s people is another opportunity to judge their enemies. Learn from the Ark versus Dagon experience
Bible in one year: 1 Chronicles 7-9

TOPIC : OVERFLOWING MERCY MEMORISE : “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;).” - (Ephesians 2:4-5) READ : MARK 1:40-45 (KJV) 40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 45 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the cit...

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.
