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

VISIONS OF GOD Friday 7 December 2012

Memorise:
And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Acts 7:56

Read:
Mark 1:9-11
If the doors of Heaven are open to you, you will most likely see visions of God like Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:1). What you see affects you in tremendous ways. Many people are in hell today because of what they saw. They are now regretting seeing what they saw. The progress or otherwise of many people is as a result of what they saw. If you see heavenly visions, your mind will be more focused on Heaven, pleasing God and working for your crown and other rewards. When you see the visions of God, you will become ambitious about becoming great in the Kingdom that never ends. What are you seeing? Where are you looking at?
In Acts 7:56-60 when Stephen looked up, he saw the visions of God the Son. Even though he was in the midst of enemies who were about to stone him to death for his faith, what he saw took away every bit of fear from him. He was full of boldness seeing Heaven standing up for him. When you see the visions of God, persecution will lose its power and devastating effects in your life. You will no longer care who is watching and who is not. You will not care about the sufferings, hunger, denial or difficulty you are going through. Oh! There is so much that God wants to release to us from Heaven but only very few people are looking up. In Mark 1:10, when Jesus was baptised, He looked up and saw the Heavens opened and He saw the vision of the Holy Spirit. His life was never the same. The silence over His life suddenly became a thing of the past. Earlier, we heard of His birth heralded by an angelic choir. Later, when He was older, the wise men visited Him from the east. Then when He was 12, He was forgotten in Jerusalem but was later found in the temple reasoning intelligently with the doctors of the law (Luke 2:1-52). After He returned home with His parents, there was a silence of about 18 years. After He saw the vision of the Holy Spirit, that silence was forever broken. His ministry took off in power and within about 3½ years; He accomplished what many cannot do in 10 life times. When you see the visions of God, your ministry will take a new turn.
Prayer point:
Father, give me a revelation of Yourself capable of sealing my fate in Heaven.
 
Bible in one year
Jeremiah 17-20

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
