TOPIC: PRODUCE SONS MEMORISE :  Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient towards all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 READ : Philemon 1:10-18 10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: 13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: 14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. 15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? 17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 18 If he ...

TOPIC:  GOD WILL HELP YOU

MEMORISE:  
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10

READ: Isaiah 41:10 -14

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

MESSAGE
The best thing that could happen to anyone is for God to decide to help him or her. When God decides to help you, there is nothing that can stand in the way of you fulfilling destiny. When it comes to resources, He said in Haggai 2:8:

The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.

He also has influence in the highest places possible as we see in Proverbs 21:1

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

If not for God in my life, l wouldn't be who l am today. When l gained admission to,llesha Grammar School, we were to pay a deposit of 2 pounds, but my parents didn't have it. One way or the other, God provided and l, resumed in the school. By the end of the first year, almost everything in the house had been sold. By the time l had done 3 years in e secondary school, there was nothing more to sell.

Just around that time, God brought somebody who had just returned from London to my village. Everybody went to celebrate with him. While everybody was surrounding him and rejoicing, he just turned in my direction and said "Hello, little boy". We began to talk. At some point, he noted that my command of the English Language was very good and l told him l was a student in Ilesha Grammar School. He asked what class l was in and l told him l was supposed to go to Form 4 but there was no money. He arranged for the school fees for my 4th year. After that, my mother went back to the principal and said, "Now he has done 4 years; please give him his testimonial so he can go and teach". The man said, "Out of 5 years, he has already done 4. He only has one more year to go; you can't withdraw him now". One way or the other l finished secondary school, gained admission to the University and got on the path of fulfilling my destiny, because God really helped me.

I pray for you today; God will move everything that needs to be moved for you to fulfill your destiny, in Jesus' name.

PRAYER POINT
Father, you helped Pastor Adeboye. You are no respecter of persons; please help me too.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 70-71

AUTHOR: PASTOR E" A ADEBOYE 

HYMN 16: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST
God, our help in ages past,
  Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
  And our eternal home.

2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
  Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
  And our defence is sure.

3 Before the hills in order stood,
  Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
  To endless years the same.

4 A thousand ages in Thy sight
  Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
  Before the rising sun.

5  Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
  Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
  Dies at the opening day.

6 O God, our help in ages past,
  Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
  And our eternal home.
