TOPIC: LIKE THE DAY OF PENTECOST IV MEMORIZE : Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two- edged sword in their hand; Psalm 149:6 READ : Jeremiah 30:18-22 18 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. 19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. 20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. 21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD. 22 And ye shall b...

TOPIC: LIKE THE DAY OF PENTECOST III MEMORIZE : Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Ephesians 5:21 READ : Ephesians 5:21 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. MESSAGE Over the past two days, I have been discussing the significance of the events that happened on the day of Pentecost. On that day, everyone in that upper room received a touch from God. Their hearts retuned to God, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. If we truly want a revival in our generation, we cannot watch weak believers remain in their weak states. We must sharpen each other (Proverbs 27:17) such that the 'weakest among us’ will be working miracles. If we're really united, we won't look away when we see a brother dozing when he should be praying; we will hold his hand to encourage him to pray. We will not see a sister dressing indecently and showing signs of backsliding without trying to encourage her faith. If someone's fire seems to be dying,...

TOPIC: LIKE THE DAY OF PENTECOST II MEMORIZE : So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Romans 12:5 READ : 1 Corinthians 12:18-27 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for ...

TOPIC: LIKE THE DAY OF PENTECOST I MEMORIZE : But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8 READ : Acts 1:12-14  12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. 13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. MESSAGE The first time the Holy Ghost came to dwell in man was on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2:1-12. Jesus had to wait in Jerusalem until they received the Holy Ghost (Luke 24:49). The day of Pentecost and the eve...

TOPIC: HE CAN USE UNBELIEVERS TOO MEMORIZE : But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 2 Timothy 2:20 READ : Ezra 1:1-11  1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem. 4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with...

TOPIC: THE BLESSING CALLED 'MOTHER' MEMORIZE : The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel. Judges 5:7 READ : Proverbs 1:8-9 8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. MESSAGE Typically, children tend to respect and even fear their fathers more than their mothers because men are generally considered stronger and sterner. A mother may not be as physically strong as a father, but she has immense strength in other areas. I usually say that I am where I am today because of God's grace and my mother's prayers. Whenever I did something that impressed her, she would say, "You will call one fellow, and 100 will answer." What she meant was, ‘You will be very influential.’ Today, God has blessed me with great influence over many people across the world. When a mothe...

TOPIC: DON'T LOOK AT THEIR FACES MEMORIZE : Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 1:8 READ : Jeremiah 1:4-10  4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. MESSAGE Many believers ...

TOPIC: KING FOREVER MEMORIZE : The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. Psalm 10:16 READ : Psalms 29:10-11  10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. 11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. MESSAGE God wasn't enthroned; therefore, nobody can dethrone Him. The devil once tried, but he was kicked out of heaven (Revelation 12:9). God is King, and He is King forever. When I say that God is king, I mean that He is King over all earthly kings. No matter how powerful a king is and no matter how much he has achieved, God is greater than him. In Daniel 4:1-37, Nebuchadnezzar thought that he could take the glory that belonged to God. God made him eat grass for seven years, and when he came back to his senses, he said, "God is the Almighty." If you are a king in your own right, whether in your organization, family, state, or wherever, your reign is only temporar...

TOPIC: SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING MEMORIZE : And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:2-3 READ : Isaiah 43:15-16 15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. 16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; MESSAGE From my little walk with God in the last 51 years that I have been born again, I have observed that God specializes in bringing something out of nothing. When it seems like there's no way to solve a problem, He makes a way where there is no way, like He did for the Israelites in Exodus 14:21-22. In Exodus 16:11-17, when the children of Israel were on their way to the Promised Land, God rained down ready-made food from heaven. Because they had never seen or tasted anything like it before, they called it 'manna'. In Numbers 11:1-32, whe...

TOPIC: MIGHTY IN BATTLE MEMORIZE : Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Psalm 24:8 READ : 2 Chronicles 20:1-30  1 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. 2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi. 3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD. 5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court, 6 And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the h...

TOPIC: THE GREAT PHYSICIAN MEMORISE “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.” - (Psalm 103:3) READ : LUKE 4:37-40 (KJV) 37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. 38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. 39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. 40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. MESSAGE : God is the Great Physician. In Exodus 15:26, He said, "...I am the Lord that healeth thee." The Bible says that He sent His word and healed them (Psalm 107:20). He is the God of all flesh, and nothing is too hard for Him (Jeremiah 32:27). Some diseases are termed incurable, but for God, no disease is inc...

TOPIC:   CONSTANT VS VARIABLES III MEMORIZE : Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.   James 1:17 READ :   Genesis 8:22  22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. MESSAGE As l conclude my discussion on constants and variables, I will attempt to describe them as a mathematician. In mathematics, constants are numbers or quantities that remain at a fixed value throughout a given discussion, while variables are unstable and are dependent on other factors. God is the only consistent constant throughout eternity, and with Him, there is no variableness or shadow of turning (James 1:17). Having discussed His word as one of His constant qualities yesterday, I will identify and explore three more absolute constants about Him, and these are: His principles, H...

TOPIC: CONSTANT VS VARIABLES II MEMORIZE : So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 READ : Hebrews 4:12-13 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. MESSAGE In a world of constantly changing laws and policies, God can be trusted to remain an absolute constant, as I discussed yesterday. His words, principles, and actions are consistent, and they can never change. When politicians campaign for political offices, they make numerous promises, some of which they often fail to fulfill God is...

TOPIC:  CONSTANT VS VARIABLES I MEMORIZE : For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.   Malachi 3:6 READ :  Lamentations 3:22-26 22  It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. MESSAGE We live in a world of constants and variables. For example, the heights and weights of humans are variables as they differ between individuals. Wealth is also a variable because some people are rich while some are poor. Even among the rich, wealth remains a variable because a fellow can have riches today, and it could all be gone tomorrow (Proverbs 23:5). In contrast, constants represent things that never chan...

TOPIC:  THE SEED OF GOD MEMORIZE : Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.        1 Peter 1:23 READ :   1 John 3:7-9 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. MESSAGE When God's seed is in you, sin becomes irritating to you. No matter how hungry a cat is, it will not eat faeces. Today's Bible reading says that if you are born of God, you cannot sin because God's seed is in you. As God's child, no matter the temptation you face, His seed in you will help you overcome it. People who claim to be born again and are...

TOPIC: FROM DOG TO CHILD II MEMORIZE : But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for Il am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matthew 9:13 READ : 1 Timothy 1:11-17 11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 17 Now...

TOPIC: FROM DOG TO CHILD I MEMORIZE : Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God. Jeremiah 3:22 READ : Luke 15:11-32 11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish wit...

TOPIC: THE LORD OF HOSTS MEMORIZE : As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 47:4 READ : Isaiah 51:15-16  15 But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name. 16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people. MESSAGE According to Psalm 24:7-10, God is the Lord of hosts; the Commander-in-chief of all hosts in heaven, on earth, and underneath the earth. Even the devil operates within the confines of what He allows, as we see in the book of Job. God can deal with any number of demons, be it one as in Mark 1:23-27, seven as in Luke 8:1-3, or a legion as in Mark 5:2-20. If there are any demonic forces interfering with your life, they will be put to shame, in Jesus' name. I used to say that the Lord of hosts never loses a battle, but recently, He c...
