TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING COVENANTS MEMORISE : Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; Deuteronomy 7:9 READ : 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. MESSAGE To understand what a covenant is, it is helpful first to understand what a contract is, as it is a more familiar concept. A contract is a written and signed agreement between two or more parties which outlines the expectations and responsibilities of all the parties involved in an interaction. The moment a contract is signed, all parties involved are b...

NO WEAPON Monday 1 October 2012

Memorize: Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. Isaiah 8:10 Read: Isaiah 8:9 -10 God’s promises give us a wide scope of expectations. When God is protecting you, it covers every area leaving no stone unturned. Usually, the devil or any of his agents such as herbalists, false prophets, witches and wizards or occultists could team up with your enemies against you. This is not strange and do not be frightened because of their number. According to His promises, every gang up against you shall meet their waterloo. In fact, Isaiah 54:15-17 assures you that God will never join your enemies against you. Be aware that He is in every evil gathering to know their plot and find out a way to frustrate them. You have a divine representative in every meeting of the evil ones. While they are planning to ensure you, He is planning to reverse their plan. Every evil plan of darkness against you this season shall be dest...

FAITHFUL GOD Sunday, September 30, 2012

Memorize: God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Romans 3:4 Read: Lamentations 3:22-23 Apart from grace, one other thing God is unlimited in is faithfulness. Lamentations 3:23 says His faithfulness is great. God is not only faithful, He is incurably faithful. Being a faithful God entails fulfilling every promise made. It also means that in any situation that requires inputs from man and God, when man has done his, God will of necessity do His. In most agreements involving God and man, if there is a breach, it can never be God; it always comes from man if only you take the pain to look beyond the surface. 2 Timothy 2:13 says even if all human beings deny God today, and all His children betray Him, God cannot deny Himself. That means it is not what you say that will make Him to do what He will do. God is very responsible. Romans 3:4 say...

ATTITUDE TO DEBTS Saturday, September 29, 2012

Memorize: Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest. 2 Kings 4:7 Read: 2 Kings 4:1-7 If you owe God, man or an organization, make every effort to pay up. God expects us to live a debt-free life ( Deuteronomy 15:6 ). Psalms 37:21 says it takes a heart of mercy to return what is borrowed. This implies that if you borrowed something or some money but fail to repay out of choice or you do not make serious effort to repay, you lack mercy, you are heartless and wicked. You are simply repaying evil for good done to you. What does the scripture say about that? When a similar thing was done to David, he decreed that his offenders should by all means come under a wicked boss or leader, and that Satan should personally supervise their misfortune, and that in their judgment there should be no appeal, their prayer should become an abomination to God, their life-span should be shorten...

WHAT YARDSTICKS? Friday, September 28, 2012

Memorize: He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John 12:48 Read: John 12:47-50 Anyone living in a boarding house is compelled to adhere to the rules and regulations operating there. Until you gave your life to Christ, you were in control of your life and you were free to do whatever you liked with it. But the day you give your life to Jesus, it means you have decided to be a boarder in Jesus house and as a result, you must abide by the rules operating there. Psalms 91:1 says: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Everyone in God's boarding house is assured of protection. But the moment you sneak out, you court trouble. Anything that happens to you outside His house is solely your responsibility. Have you chosen Jesus? Then make sure you sign up for everything He stands for. God's kin...

WAIT MORE ON HIM! Thursday, September 27, 2012

Memorize: My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Psalms 130:6 Read: Genesis 18:1-14 When God decides to bless, He does not know how to be miserly. Hence, Psalms 68:19 says He releases loads of blessings on a daily basis. Jesus taught us to ask for our daily bread ( Matthew 6:11 ). When we ask for our daily bread, He gives us a load of benefits for that day. If only you receive yours daily, you will lack nothing but enjoy abundance on daily basis. May this be your daily experience from today! In Genesis 12:1-3 , He did not only promise to bless Abraham but also to make him a blessing through which the whole world will be blessed. To be a recipient of such blessing, you must be prepared to go to other nations. Before He made Abraham a channel that blessed the world, God asked him first to leave where he was. According to Matthew 28:18-20 , if you want to be a blessing to the world, yo...

DESIRE IT Wednesday, September 26, 2012

Memorize : 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. Psalms 27:4 Read: Exodus 33:18-23 Moses was a student of the school of obedience. So also was Jesus and great Bible heroes. The grade with which you graduate from this school goes a long way in determining the glory of God you will have and the fulfillment of your destiny. As Moses' score in obedience improved, he began to witness certain developments in his life. He became a carrier of God's high level of glory and also attracted God's presence wherever he went. Other Israelites went to the tabernacle to pray and worship God but nothing unusual happened. But when Moses entered the same tabernacle, the pillar of cloud came and stood at the door of the tabernacle. As he persisted in obedience and prayed, not only did the cloud of glory become a reocc...

FINGER OF MERCY Tuesday, September 25, 2012

Memorize: To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; Daniel 9:9 Read: John 8:2-11 The finger of God is significant in that it is an agent of healing. In Mark 7:31-37 , when a deaf and dumb fellow had a touch from the finger of Jesus, his ears opened and his tongue was loosed. As that finger touches you today, healing will take place. If you want to be healed of any type of sickness, you do not need God to come down, but just a touch of His finger. No sickness or disease can remain in the body His finger has touched. He will touch you today and if there is any sickness, it will disappear forever. Similarly, the finger of God writes forgiveness and pardon for the guilty. In John 8:2-11 , when some people brought a woman who was caught in the act of adultery to Jesus, they quoted the law and presented a strong case which should have claimed her life. But while the accusations were being levied against her, Jesus sto...
