TOPIC: TWO KINDS OF WONDERS MEMORISE : To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.  Psalm 136:4 READ : Exodus 12:21-30 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. 23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come In unto your houses to smite you. 24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall...

TOPIC: THE NAME THAT SAVES

MEMORISE: 
The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Proverbs 18:10

READ: MATTHEW 1:20-21

20. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

MESSAGE
The memory verse of today declares the omnipotent nature of the name of the Lord. In the same verse lies an eternal truth: it says only the righteous can find safety in the name of the Lord. This same Bible however, tells us that none is righteous (Romans 3:10). How then can we access the saving power in the name of the Lord? We find the answer in our Bible reading of today. It says the way out of sin is through the name of Jesus Christ. This name is all-powerful, mighty to save from sin, sickness, poverty, demonic attack and death. Praise the Lord! 

The Bible predicts a lot of calamities as we approach the second coming of the Lord. Joel 2:30-31 prophesied that the Lord will *..shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.*

Prophet Isaiah also spoke of the terrible things that would happen as we come closer to the end of the world (Isaiah 13:9). Beloved, the only way we can escape the end time calamities is through the name of Jesus. The name would however only work for you if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. To do this, you must acknowledge your sins, confess and repent of them. Thereafter, begin to put your trust in this name which Philippians 2:9-11 describes as:
 *“..a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”*

Thus, it is your responsibility to cry to Jesus for mercy. Use the name of Jesus effectively as you begin to live a life of holiness and perfect obedience to God. By so doing, you would avoid being a victim of the terrible happenings in these last days. Our God is full of tender mercies and loving kindness (Psalms 103:4). He says in Joel 2:32 
*“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered…”  * 
Call on Him today and be saved.

PRAYER POINT
Father, please deliver me from every end time calamity, in the mighty name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 37-41

ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME!

1. All hail the power of Jesus Name!
Let angels prostrate fall; 
Bring forth the royal diadem,

Bring forth the royal diadem,

Before His face Who tunes their choir, 
and crown Him Lord of all.

Who fixed this floating ball; 
Now hail the strength of Israels might,

Now hail the strength of Israels might, 
and crown Him Lord of all.

4. Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God,
who from His altar call; 
Extol the Stem of Jesses Rod, 
and crown Him Lord of all. 
Extol the Stem of Jesses Rod, 
and crown Him Lord of all.
