TOPIC: GOD PROVIDES MEMORISE:  The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1 READ : Genesis 22:7-14  7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 13 And Abraham l...

TOPIC: YE ARE GODS

MEMORISE: 
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
Psalm 82:6

READ: Job 22:28-30

28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

MESSAGE
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 18:18

The above Bible passage shows how God sees us as His children and the authority He has given to us. It says that we are so powerful that we can decide what happens in heaven. If we bind something on earth, the hosts of heaven will validate it. It is important that we know how powerful we are because Psalm 49:20 says:

Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is Iike the beasts that perish.

A lot of Christians are perishing because they don't realize that they are sitting in a place of honor. Witches and wizards are tormenting children of God who are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6) but acting like helpless chickens because they don't know who they are. Jesus said in John 14:12 that you will do the works that He did and even greater. You can do everything that Jesus did in the Scriptures and even more. In Mark 11:13-14, Jesus cursed a fig tree that appeared fruitful but, upon closer inspection, was barren. Overnight, the tree withered completely from its roots because the process of divine curses operates from the roots upwards, just like divine blessings. Furthermore, Jesus said:

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23

Some years ago, during a visit to a state capital in Nigeria, I was told about a tree at the center of the town that could not be uprooted. In fact, the state government had to construct a road around the tree because it could not be uprooted. I stretched my hand towards the tree and declared in the name of the Lord that the tree be cursed. That very night, a storm hit the town, and by the next morning, the tree had been completely uprooted. The tree got uprooted because a son of the living God who understands his authority issued a command that had to be obeyed. You can do the same and even more if you are truly in right standing with God.

REFLECTION
Are you standing right with God such that you can issue decrees by His word, and they will stand?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 35-37

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE
HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME
1. All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all!

2. O seed of Israel's chosen race
now ransomed from the fall,
hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all.
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all!

3. Let every tongue and every tribe
responsive to his call,
to him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all.
To him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all!

4. Oh, that with all the sacred throng
we at his feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song
and crown him Lord of all.
We'll join the everlasting song
and crown him Lord of all.

TOPIC: COMMITTING GOD MEMORISE : I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Psalm 138:2 READ: ISAIAH 40:4-8 4. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5. And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 6. The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 7. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 8. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. MESSAGE : Do you know that it is possible to commit God to do some things for you and leave Him with no choice but to do them? Psalm 115:3 says that God is sove...

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: PRAYERS FOR 2025 MEMORISE :  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Genesis 12:2 READ : Isaiah 35:1-10 1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. 3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you. 4 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 5 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. ...
