TOPIC: TOPIC: WHAT IS YOUR DEEPEST DESIRE? MEMORISE My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. - (Psalm 130:6) READ : John 12:20-21 (KJV) 20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: 21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. MESSAGE One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. - (Psalm 27:4) In the Scripture above and many other instances in the Bible, David expressed his desire to dwell in God's presence. In Psalm 63:1-2, he expressed his yearning to seek God early and see His power and glory. In verse 6 of the same chapter, he said that he remembered God upon his bed and meditated on Him in the night watches. Also, in today's memory vers...

TOPIC: SIN AND SICKNESS

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: Psalms 107:17-20

17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

MESSAGE:
Sin brings affliction upon people, but healing will come when they repent and turn to God. The Bible tells us in Psalm 119:67:

Before l was afflicted l went astray: but now have l kept thy word.

Whenever a sick person who had been a sinner before falling sick came to Jesus in the Bible, He would forgive the person of his or her sin first and foremost, before getting rid of the sickness. The sin has to go before the healing can come. If you have sinned against God, you must go before Him and ask for mercy, so that He can restore you to Himself and to good health.

God will send you a word today that will deliver you from destruction, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Confess your sins to Him and make up your mind that you will no longer live a life of sin. It is a dangerous thing to continue in sin, especially after God has delivered you from one form of demonic oppression or another.

In Luke 11:24-26, Jesus tells us what will happen when a man has been healed but still continues in his sin:

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, l will return unto my house whence l came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

If death suddenly catches up with a sinner, he will go to hell. Turn to God and repent of your sins. Start to live a life of holiness, and God will send you a word that will restore your soul. Anyone who isn't God's friend is already walking on the path of destruction. According to Psalm 9:17, such a fellow is set on his or her way to hell already.

You will reign with Christ at the end of days, in the mighty name of Jesus.

ACTION POINT:
Repent of all your sins and forsake them so you can enjoy a time of refreshing in the Lord.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ephesians 2-5

AUTHOR:  PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

TOPIC : OVERFLOWING MERCY MEMORISE : “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;).” - (Ephesians 2:4-5) READ : MARK 1:40-45 (KJV) 40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 45 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the cit...

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 w...

TOPIC: AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT  MEMORIZE   Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
