TOPIC: POVERTY ≠ GODLINESS   MEMORISE :  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 2   READ : 2 Kings 4:1-7 1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. 2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. 3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and ...

TOPIC:  POWER IN HIS WORD I

MEMORISE: 
 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." Genesis 1:3

READ::John 1:1 -3

1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

MESSAGE
The Bible is full of scripture to support the power in the word. Light came into existence through the power of God's spoken word.(Genesis 1:3), also , the entire universe was made by the word of God.

Our God is the creator of heaven and earth, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, the one who knows all things and specializes in bringing to pass the impossible. All power in heaven and on earth belongs to Him-that is why He is called the Almighty God. While it is impossible for anyone to fully understand the might and majesty of God, a better understanding of His creative power, wisdom, and authority could be made visible by considering the works of His hands, according to Psalm 8:3-4.

Considering the Almightiness of God therefore, whenever He says 'yes', one cannot help but wonder why anybody would want to oppose Him. Since the fall of man, mankind has been found in opposition to the Almighty God, to their own detriment. Humanity is used to striving with God from the very beginning. Striving with God is the fruitless opposition of the ungodly to the will of God. It is also the struggle of the righteous with God's commandments as they seek to obey it. However, the striving of the wicked with God is usually the result of a guilty conscience. To this end,  Genesis 4:9 says, "And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?" Many Christian today are equally striving with God by holding a view that is contrary to the word of God.

Anybody striving against God can never succeed. God says in 
Isaiah 46: 10. "...My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"  Also, Proverbs 19:21 says, "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD that shall stand." Do not resist the Holy Spirit and be found arguing with God. Don't ever try to attack God's people or practice unbelief, lest you be found guilty of striving with God. The creative power of our sovereign God is as potent as ever, and our God still rules the affairs of the universe today. He is the ultimate controller of everything in heaven, on earth and under the earth. 

Forever, His word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89) 

PRAYER POINT
Father, please have Your way in my life, and the world in general in Jesus name.

HYMN 10: Jesus My Lord, MY God, My All

1 Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,
hear me, blest Savior, when I call;
hear me, and from thy dwelling place
pour down the riches of thy grace.

Refrain:
Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;
O make me love thee more and more.

2 Jesus, too late I thee have sought;
how can I love thee as I ought?
And how extol thy matchless fame,
the glorious beauty of thy name? 

3 Jesus, what didst thou find in me
that thou hast dealt so lovingly?
How great the joy that thou hast brought,
so far exceeding hope or thought! 

4 Jesus, of thee shall be my song;
to thee my heart and soul belong;
all that I have or am is thine,
and thou, blest Savior, thou art mine.
