TOPIC: DESTINY DESTROYERS II MEMORISE:  And he said unto them, take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Luke 12:15 READ : John 12:3-6 & Matthew 26:14-16  3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. Matthew 26:14-16  14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?

TOPIC:  THE SHOUT OF PRAISE II

MEMORISE: 
Psalms 67:5 -6
5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

READ: Psalms 67:3 -7

3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

MESSAGE
The Bible says that God is seeking those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 4:24

In other words, God is constantly seeking people who praise Him. When He finds them, He dwell with them as we learnt yesterday, inhabiting their praises (Psalm 22:3). Psalm 16:11 says:
Thou wilt whew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasure for evermore.

This means that after your praise has drawn God to you, you will also receive joy and many other pleasures that come with His presence.

There was a woman who had been married for many years without the fruit of the womb. She said she would normally shout seven hallelujahs, so people began to call he 'Sister Hallelujah'. One day, she decided against praying for a child. She said to herself, "I don't need one child, I need three", so she began to shout 21 hallelujahs. Suddenly, the barrenness  of 30 years was over and she gave birth to 3 children. When you send a shout of praise to heaven, miracles come pouring down on you. Psalm 67:5-6:

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

Believe me honestly, when you come to God in prayer and just keep bombarding Him with requests, you are acting foolishly. Wise people know that when you come with praises, He will be the one asking you , "What do you want?" If you don't believe me, ask Solomomm(2 Chronicles 1:6-7). When you prioritise praising God above making requests, He will answer your prayers far beyond your expectations.

ACTION POINT
Shout Hallelujah!

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 74-75

AUTHOR: PASTOR E" A ADEBOYE 

HYMN 15: NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD
1 Now thank we all our God
with heart and hands and voices,
who wondrous things has done,
in whom his world rejoices;
who from our mothers' arms
has blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.

2 O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
to keep us in his grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
of this world in the next.

3 All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given,
the Son and Spirit blest,
who reign in highest heaven
the one eternal God,
whom heaven and earth adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.

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: THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER 4 MEMORISE:  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12 READ: Bible Reading Romans 6:1-23 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with

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,
