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:  THE DANGEROUS MIXTURE

MEMORISE: 
And what concord
hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 2 Corinthians 6:15

READ:  Matthew 6:24

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

MESSAGE    
Many years ago, I travelled for a ministration. After I was done ministering, I got in my car but it refused to start. I called a mechanic to look at it and he discovered that the petrol I had bought into the car was mixed with water, hence he had to empty the tank and get rid of every particle of water in it then put pure petrol in it before I could move. While I was waiting for him to finish working on the car, a message hit me. The car could not move on a mixture of petrol and water, so also, many people don't move forward in life because they are mixing light. with darkness in their lives. Indeed, what fellowship has light with darkness (2Corinthians 6:14)?

If you want God to multiply your finances, don't mix stolen funds with your legitimate earnings. Once you start stealing money, forget about God's blessings.

One day, a governor came to me for prayers towards his contest for a second term in office. God said to me that he would win and I told him. However, the elections came and he lost. It was absolutely clear that the election was rigged. I went back to God and said, "Lord, but you are the One who said this man would win; what happened?" God told me to send for him and ask him what happened, because after he left the Redemption Camp, he went to have meetings with witches and people of the occult. God said He had already decided that he would win the election, but when he went to meet occultic people, He changed His mind. It still surprises me that as much as we have said that God hates sin, many people don't understand it. You cannot continue to sin and expect God's grace to abound! God forbid! (Romans 6:1-2). If you want God to be involved in your life, stay away from anything He hates. Don't lift up 'holy' hands in Church and then use those same hands to fornicate. Don't praise God with your mouth and then use the same mouth to tell lies. You are inviting God's wrath that way.

If you want to serve the devil, serve him wholeheartedly rather than to try and serve God and the devil at the same time. If you want to serve God, you will have to hearken diligently to His word, and in return, He will give you abundant life. Don't mix the two.

KEY POINT:
You cannot continue in sin and expect God's grace to abound in your life. God forbids it!

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 132-135

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken.
Take me, Jesus, take me now. [Chorus]

3. All to Jesus I surrender
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me. [Chorus]

4. All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His namel 
[Chorus]
