TOPIC: GOD'S RIGHT HAND
 
MEMORISE: 
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Ephesians 2:6
 
READ: Psalms 110:1-3

1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
 
MESSAGE
The phrase 'right hand' bears great significance in the Bible. It portrays a position of privilege- a place of honor and status. For example, our Lord Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 1:3). Hebrews 12:2 also reveals that after Jesus suffered and died on the cross, He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. The right hand of God represents His ultimate strength and power.

Who is gone into heaven and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. 1 Peter 3:22

The person being referred to in the Scripture above is Jesus. He is the One on the right hand of God with all powers in subjection to Him. No matter the earthly position a fellow occupies, there is more power and authority at the right hand of God. God's right hand is the place where all angels, authorities, and powers submit to Him. Psalm 18:35 also reveals that the right hand of God is the place of sustenance and help. Today's memory verse tells us that as God’s children, we are seated together with Christ, and since He is at God's right hand, we are also there with Him.

Being at the right hand of God means that you will never lack help and provision. It means that you will always find the timely and abundant help you need. Those who are at God's right hand are never small because His right hand is the place of power, as we see in Mark 14:62, which says: "And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. “This means that, as Christians, we are a people of power and influence. We enjoy help, sustenance, and favor from God. Unfortunately, however, while this is our identity as God's children, some believers are living far away from this reality because, like the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32, they have wandered far away from the Father's right hand. They have heeded the call of sin and frustrated God's grace upon their lives.

Beloved, if you have not surrendered to God, or if you have wandered away from Him, I invite you today to come unto Him. He is knocking at the door of your heart (Revelation 3:20); open it up to Him. He is waiting for you earnestly with open arms; don't keep Him waiting.
 
REFLECTION
Are you occupying your place at God's right hand?
 
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 23-25

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE
 
HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE
1 In Christ alone my hope is found 
He is my light, my strength, my song 
This cornerstone, this solid ground 
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm 
What heights of love, what depths of peace 
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease 
My comforter, my all in all 
Here in the love of Christ I stand  
 
2 In Christ alone who took on flesh 
Fullness of God in helpless babe 
This gift of love and righteousness 
Scorned by the ones He came to save 
Till on that cross as Jesus died 
The wrath of God was satisfied 
For every sin on Him was laid 
Here in the death of Christ I live  
There in the ground His body lay 
 
3 Light of the world by darkness slain 
Then bursting forth in glorious day 
Up from the grave He rose again 
And as He stands in victory 
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me 
For I am His and He is mine 
Bought with the precious blood of Christ  
 
4 No guilt in life, no fear in death 
This is the power of Christ in me 
 life's first cry to final breath 
Jesus commands my destiny 
No power of hell, no scheme of man 
Can ever pluck me from His hand 
Till He returns or calls me home 
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

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 : 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: 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.
