TOPIC: MAINTAIN YOUR FREEDOM I   MEMORISE :  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:11   READ : John 5:5-14 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, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. 10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take ...

TOPIC: ALWAYS REFILL IV

MEMORISE:
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Colossians 3:16

READ: JOSHUA 1:6-9

6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

MESSAGE:
Over the past three days, I discussed the importance of always getting refilled with the anointing. Today and in the next few days, I will discuss ways by which believers can be refilled.

As God's child, you must ensure that your spiritual fervency and passion for the things of God do not reduce. The Word of God is a potent tool for recharging your spiritual battery, and this is why you must spend quality time studying, memorising, and meditating on the Scriptures daily.

Nowadays, many Christians do not memorise Scriptures because everything is now digital. If someone needs to refer to a Bible passage, the fellow can just search for it through Google and other search engines. Once the fellow types a bit of the verse as a search term, immediately, the passage comes up on the screen. While digitisation is good, it is important to meditate on Scriptures and know some of them by heart, as this will prepare you to face anything the enemy brings your way. In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus overcame the devil's temptations by quoting Scriptures. There were no search engines at that time, and He didn't need them - He knew God's Word by heart because He had meditated on them and memorised them. My Father in the Lord wasn't formally educated, yet he knew a lot of Scriptures by heart. If he could memorise the Scriptures, so can you.

In John 6:63, Jesus said that the Words He speaks to us are spirit and life. Therefore, the more of His Words you take in, the more spirit-filled you will be. God's Word is powerful; it is alive and sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). As you fill yourself with His Word, He will show you things, relationships, and places that can quickly drain your spiritual battery and puncture your faith.

One way to know if you are really filled with God's Word is to check your conversations. Matthew 12:34 says that it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. If your heart is filled with God's Word, your mouth will be filled with His Word too. The more you study God's Word, the more like Him you will become (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Beloved, become addicted to studying, memorising, and meditating on God's Word and you will be spiritually vibrant at all times. I pray that you will never lose your fervency and passion for the things of God, in Jesus' Name. 

REFLECTION:
How often do you study, memorise, and meditate on God's Word? 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 33-36

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE
*HYMN 3 - ANCIENT WORDS*
1 Holy Words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God's own heart
Oh, let the ancient words impart.

*CHORUS:*
Ancient words ever true
Changing me and changing you
We have come with open hearts
Oh, let the ancient words impart.

2 Words of Life, words of Hope
Give us strength, help us cope
In this world, where e'er we roam
Ancient words will guide us home.

3 Holy Words of our Faith
Handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice
Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.

4 Holy Words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God's own heart
Oh let the ancient words impart.

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.
