TOPIC: STAY HUMBLE II MEMORISE :  For al those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. Isaiah 66:2 READ : 1 Kings 21:15-29 15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it. 17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. 19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession?

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.
