TOPIC>>HE HAS THE LAST SAY.
MEMORY VERSE
For the mountains shall depart,
and the hills be removed; but my kindness
shall not depart from thee, neither shall the
covenant of my peace be removed, saith the
LORD that hath mercy on thee

. ISAIAH 54 :10.
READ
JOEL 3 : 16 - 17.
16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and
utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the
heavens and the earth shall shake: but the
LORD will be the hope of his people, and
the strength of the children of Israel.
17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your
God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain:
then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall
no strangers pass through her any more.
Message
The situation in the world is steadily
becoming alarming. Big and strong
economies are becoming shaky while some
are crumbling already, even though trade is
expanding with mind blowing technological
breakthroughs and rapid succession of
invention of devices across every facet of
human endeavour. Violence in various
forms of inhuman treatment of man by
fellow man is also on the increase. This
includes terror activities, civil disturbances,
kidnappings, rapes, murderous acts, drugs,
human trafficking and sale of human beings
as mere commodity etc. All these and
several more are pointers to any child of
God that the end of all things is fast
approaching and that these are not the days
to live carelessly.
These happenings are at a stage that any
observant mind will sense palpable fear in
the world, just like the Bible said it would be
( Luke 21 : 26 ). For you a child of God
however, you need not panic in your heart
because God has given you an idea of the
events that will occur in these last days. He
also has given you His promises of hope and
has put His Holy Spirit in you. One of such
promises is in Joel 3 : 16 :
“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and
utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the
heavens and the earth shall shake: but the
LORD will be the hope of his people, and
the strength of the children of Israel.“
It is required of you as a child of God in this
end-time, to get close to the word of God in
order to see global events in light of what is
written in it. This will give you hope and
encourage your mind on how close the
eventual return of our Lord is. His return
means release from earthly pains and
limitations for you, but the beginning of
sorrows for those who don’t have a
relationship with Him.
Nevertheless, you need to know that the
children of God that will do valiantly in these
last days, are not those who only depend
on feeding on the word of God that they
hear via public ministrations, but those who
go beyond this by spending time with God
in His word through private study like the
Berean brethren ( Acts 17 : 10 - 11 ). Great
strength for the race comes from this. In
these evil days, you will not be a victim but
a victor in Jesus’ Name.
PRAYER POINT :
Pray that your focus will remain on making
Heaven and that you will remain fervent in
spirit and steadfast in the love of God.

TOPIC>>THERE FOR A PURPOSE.
MEMORY VERSE:
And we know that all things
work together for good to them that love
God, to them who are the called according
to his purpose.

ROMANS 8 : 28.
READ :
2 KINGS 5 : 1 - 4.
1 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the
king of Syria, was a great man with his
master, and honourable, because by him
the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria:
he was also a mighty man in valour, but he
was a leper.
2 And the Syrians had gone out by
companies, and had brought away captive
out of the land of Israel a little maid; and
she waited on Naaman's wife.
3 And she said unto her mistress, Would
God my lord were with the prophet that is in
Samaria! for he would recover him of his
leprosy.
4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying,
Thus and thus said the maid that is of the
land of Israel.
Message
Known unto God are all His works from the
foundation of the world ( Acts 15 : 18 ). One
of the arguments some philosophers put up
for the existence of God is that, the Cause of
all things must be a rational and intelligent
being because to everything the Cause
caused to be, is a purpose given. This so-
called Cause is God and there is nothing He
created that has no purpose. Whatever God
permits to come to you or to come your way
has a purpose. There is a purpose behind
you being an African, European, Asian or
American. Far beyond the superficial things
you may be looking for in that your exalted
position in that organisation, God may have
something in mind for you to accomplish.
Maybe you got sponsored and supported to
occupy a political office or maybe you are in
government, have you found out why He
opened that door to you, or are you busy
seeking mundane things for yourself like the
ungodly and unpatriotic ones?
In some cases, God’s purpose might bring
you into an unpleasant or undesirable
situation, just like the young girl in today’s
Bible reading. She was taken captive from
her native land in Samaria to the far and
strange land of Syria. However, see what
great effect the quiet little counsel she gave
her mistress had in the life of the great but
leprous commander of the Syrian army, and
by extension the entire nation of Syria.
Beyond the healing of her master, she
projected the God of her fathers among the
heathen, so that He might be feared and
honoured. It is a pity that some Christians
today do things that bring shame and
reproach to the name of God. Such people
misrepresent God through their
compromising acts among sinners. Hear
what the little girl said in 2 Kings 5 : 3 :
“And she said unto her mistress, Would God
my lord were with the prophet that is in
Samaria! for he would recover him of his
leprosy.”
It was just this one-minute piece of
information God was waiting for to
orchestrate a chain of events that would
culminate in His name being glorified
among the heathen. From this story, we also
learn why it is good to be nice and kind to
those who are around us, even servants,
housemaids, gardeners, drivers etc. Some
bosses despise and treat their subordinates
inhumanely. Some housemaids, drivers and
workers are treated as though they are not
human beings ( Colossians 4 : 1 ). If
Naaman and his wife had been maltreating
this maid, she probably would not have
given them the counsel that led to the
removal of their shame and reproach.
ACTION POINT :
Objectively identify what exactly you are
living for.

Topic>>FOR CHRIST’S SAKE DON’T!
Memory Verse
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath made us free, and be not
entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Galatians 5:1
Read:
Psalm 137:1-4
137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat
down, yea, we wept, when we remembered
Zion.
137:2 We hanged our harps upon the
willows in the midst thereof.
137:3 For there they that carried us away
captive required of us a song; and they that
wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing
us one of the songs of Zion.
137:4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in
a strange land?
Message
A negative change is generally abhorred by
men. Everyone craves progress. We always
desire to keep ascending the ladder of
success. No one wants to make a u-turn in
the journey of greatness. The greatest
journey whose end has the greatest
significance is the journey to Heaven. This
journey is only made in Jesus Christ, who is
the way, the truth and the life. Only through
Him does man have access to God.
Some individuals, who have truly started
this glorious and wonderful journey to
heaven, handle the race too leisurely and
with levity. Otherwise, what shall we say of a
Christian sister or brother who toy with sins
like fornication, lying, dishonesty and
fraudulent practices. Some sisters and
brothers still in courtship are already having
sex. This is an example of making a u-turn
while on the journey to the greater glory
above. In line with today’s scripture reading,
the implication for such people is that they
will fall prey to the enemy. Such people lead
themselves into the captivity of the enemy,
contrary to the admonition of today’s
memory verse. Such individuals become like
Samson who when God’s presence was with
him, he was a terror to the enemy, but by
the time he pushed God away from him
through his unabated lust, he became a
laughing stock with his two eyes gone. Why,
why, why would you allow such regrettable
acts to cause you such pain? Such was the
condition of the entire nation of Israel in
Psalm 137. They went into captivity in the
hands of their enemies. Hear their wailing in
Psalm 137:3-4:
“For there they that carried us away captive
required of us a song; and they that wasted
us required of us mirth, saying Sing us one
of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the
LORD’S song in a strange land?”
Some people deceive themselves or allow
the devil to deceive them. They live in sin
and they claim they can always confess their
sins; it is either such people are not saved
at all, or they have already backslidden.
What a dangerous thing it is for a child of
God to toy with sin. Five to six years ago in
Lagos - Nigeria, the case of a pastor was
reported in the newspapers. A portion of a
wall fell on him while he was on top of a
woman; they died together on the spot,
what judgment! Where would the
destination of such a pastor be in eternity?
For Christ’s sake don’t toy with sin!
Action Point:
Flee every appearance of evil. Don’t say I
will do it only once; your “only once”
escapade could lead you to an eternity in
hell.

TOPIC>>YOU CAN STAND OUT I
MEMORY VERSE
And the LORD shall make thee the head, and
not the tail; and thou shalt be above only,
and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou
hearken unto the commandments of the
LORD thy God, which I command thee this
day, to observe and to do them:

Deuteronomy 28:13
Read:
Luke 5:17-26
17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as
he was teaching, that there were Pharisees
and doctors of the law sitting by, which
were come out of every town of Galilee, and
Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the
Lord was present to heal them.
18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a
man which was taken with a palsy: and they
sought means to bring him in, and to lay
him before him.
19 And when they could not find by what
way they might bring him in because of the
multitude, they went upon the housetop,
and let him down through the tiling with his
couch into the midst before Jesus.
20 And when he saw their faith, he said
unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began
to reason, saying, Who is this which
speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive
sins, but God alone?
22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts,
he answering said unto them, What reason
ye in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be
forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of
man hath power upon earth to forgive sins,
(he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say
unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and
go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before
them, and took up that whereon he lay, and
departed to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amazed, and they
glorified God, and were filled with fear,
saying, We have seen strange things to day
Message
Our heavenly Father is looking for people
that will do the uncommon things required
to become uncommonly successful, thereby
showing forth His greatness. Looking at the
story of the man sick of the palsy in our
Bible reading for today, you will learn some
things that are essential to attaining this
height. This man had a vision of what he
wanted to become in life, though he was
lame. Vision means beginning with the end
in mind. Vision is superior to ambition
because while ambition is what you want to
happen, vision is what God wants to
happen. Furthermore, he realised he
needed a change and he chose to change. In
1 Chronicles 4:9-10, we see that Jabez chose
to become different and he got it. You also
will obtain the necessary transformation you
need in accordance with what you have
chosen in Jesus’ Name.
The sick man was ready for new ideas. For
him, getting an alternative meant getting to
Jesus. This is where some people need to
watch it. This man was wise enough to know
where solution lies for him, but in the case
of some children of God, instead of waiting
on God under their God-appointed spiritual
leaders, they continue to patronise different
prayer mountains. This man also kept good
relationships i.e. good friends. He could not
walk, but his friends could. You have to be
good yourself to be able to have and
maintain good friends. Don’t be a lone
ranger; not only in terms of marriage is this
relevant, it also applies to you having good
dependable friends.
The sick lame man also had current
information. You need to keep the channels
of receiving information open in your life. It
is when you are current that you can be
correct, and then you can collect what you
need, which will eventually stand you out in
success. Elisha was current on the things
going on in his time (2 Kings 2:1-4). By this
information, he kept following Elijah until
finally he collected a double portion of
Elijah’s anointing that subsequently made
him to stand out.
Action Point:
Father, whatever it will take for me to stand
out, please do it in my life and grant me the
grace to co-operate with you.

TOPIC>>YOU CAN STAND OUT II
Memory Verse
And when Jesus came to the
place, he looked up, and saw him, and said
unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come
down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

LUKE 19 : 5.
READ
LUKE 5 : 17 - 20.
17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as
he was teaching, that there were Pharisees
and doctors of the law sitting by, which
were come out of every town of Galilee, and
Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the
Lord was present to heal them.
18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a
man which was taken with a palsy: and they
sought means to bring him in, and to lay
him before him.
19 And when they could not find by what
way they might bring him in because of the
multitude, they went upon the housetop,
and let him down through the tiling with his
couch into the midst before Jesus.
20 And when he saw their faith, he said
unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Message
Due to the current challenges confronting
the life of some believers, they wonder in
their hearts if they can ever make it. They
wonder if life will just pass them by. They
wonder if they can ever stand out among
their contemporaries. If you belong to this
class, I have good news for you: yes you can
become outstanding among others in spite
of your current situation. There were many
sons of the prophets in the days of Elisha,
but only he stood out, so much so that the
king of the land acknowledged him, calling
him my father. To this end, as previously
learnt yesterday, you need to have a vision
of what you want to become in order to
stand out. You need to choose to change
because your choice in life determines your
chance. You must be prepared for new
ideas. You must maintain good
relationships, as the greatest poverty is to
not have good friends. Also, you must be
informed on current happenings around
you.
Besides all these, you must be teachable.
From our scripture reading, the man sick of
the palsy and his friends, came to the
teaching service of Jesus; this shows that
these men were teachable. When you stop
learning, you stop growing and then you
begin to degenerate. It is either one is
moving forward or else one is drawing back.
You will ever move forward in Jesus’ Name.
You cannot be reached if you are not
teachable. So many of God’s people are just
too full of themselves, they are self-
conceited and are impervious to corrections.
This will not help you become a success; it
is the deceit of the devil to rob you of a
good future.
Furthermore, the sick man and his friends
were determined. Determination is the route
to distinction and excellence. With their
determination, they broke every barrier that
was on their way. You also must be a barrier
breaker. Sternly confront every obstacle on
your way and pull them down by the power
of God in your life. This power is generated
through a life of holiness and prayers.
Finally, the friends of the sick man
positioned him before the Lord. You must
position yourself also before the Lord for
your miracles, just like Zacchaeus did to gain
the attention of Jesus ( Luke 19 : 3 - 5 ).
PRAYER POINT :
Father, every barrier standing against my
getting to the top, let them be demolished
in Jesus’ Name. Lord, help me to stand out
among my peers.

TOPIC>>FELLOWSHIP – HOW VITAL!
MEMORY VERSE
That which we have seen and heard declare
we unto you, that ye also may have
fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship
is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus
Christ.

1 John 1:3
Read:
Mark 3:13-15
13 And he goeth up into a mountain, and
calleth unto him whom he would: and they
came unto him.
14 And he ordained twelve, that they should
be with him, and that he might send them
forth to preach,
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses,
and to cast out devils:
Message
God desires to fellowship with His people on
earth, despite the fact that in Heaven, there
are four (4) living creatures and twenty four
(24) elders round about His throne, with
thousand of thousands of angels
worshipping before Him (Revelation 4:2-6,
5:11). God has a special place for us in His
heart in spite of all that is going on in
heaven. May you not fall short of giving
satisfaction to God in the area of
fellowshipping with Him in Jesus’ Name.
The first motive of Jesus for calling the
twelve disciples was fellowship (Mark 3:14).
Also, rooted in the call He made to us all in
Matthew 11:28-29, is the desire for
fellowship. He said:
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take
my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls.”
This is a call to keep company with the Lord,
a call to communion. Learning of Him
occurs in His presence. His presence is a
point of directing your attention to Him
without distraction, in His presence, your
whole being is engaged with Him. As you
can see from this call, it is from the place of
His presence that your derive fulfilment. Joy,
peace and victory all come from the
presence of the Lord.
Some children of God are first and foremost
full of activities. Coming into God’s presence
is secondary to them; it is a “by-the-way”
thing. No, this is not supposed to be so.
Note the order of events in today’s Bible
text: having settled on the mountain, our
Lord Jesus called the twelve disciples up to
Himself so that they should be with Him –
communion, and thereafter, that He might
send them out to preach – Service. Our
service will have no meaning if He doesn’t
have access to our souls in fellowship. It
would not be pleasing to Him if we are not
carrying His presence to the point of service
delivery. We fellowship with Him when we
spend time alone with Him and when we
come together in worship, praise, prayers,
studying and learning of His word (1 John
1:3). However, some children of God don’t
have a personal quality time alone with God,
such are depriving themselves of so much.
Prayer Point
Father, please help me to always love your
presence. Let my heart always seek you in
Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC>>STAY FOCUSED
Memory Verse

Be ye therefore followers of
God, as dear children; And walk in love, as
Christ also hath loved us, and hath given
himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to
God for a sweetsmelling savour.
EPHESIANS
5 : 1 - 2.
Read
Ephesians 5:1-8
1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear
children;
2And walk in love, as Christ also
hath loved us, and hath given himself for
us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweetsmelling savour.
3But fornication, and all uncleanness, or
covetousness, let it not be once named
among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither
filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting,
which are not convenient: but rather giving
of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no
whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor
covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of
God.
6Let no man deceive you with vain words:
for because of these things cometh the
wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience.
7Be not ye therefore
partakers with them.
8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now
are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of
light:
Message
God’s ways are clearly not the ways of men.
What men hold dear and crave after are
usually not what matters to God. We human
beings like to blow our own trumpets. We
like to be addressed by big titles and we
want the office we hold to be identified with
us wherever we go. These are not important
things before God; as a matter of fact, they
are the expressions of self which if allowed
to thrive by a child of God, will lead to
carnality. Romans 8 : 7 says, a carnal mind
cannot please God.
In John 13 : 33, Jesus called His disciples
“Little children”. Among them were some
men like Peter, who was physically older
than Him. Much later still, after His
resurrection in John 21 : 5, He called out to
them on the sea: “Children, have ye any
meat?” They answered him, “No”; this was
after they had been with Him for years. They
never out grew being called children, and
none of them protested to Him for being
called a child.
Some years ago, at the conclusion of a
seminar at the University of Ibadan (south-
west Nigeria), I had asked the students if
they were ready to become like a child in
order to receive their miracles, then the
Lord asked me the same question. He asked
me if I was not already considering myself
an adult. This really shocked me. It made me
to give myself a serious self-examination. I
realised that I had allowed my new status as
the General Overseer of The Redeemed
Christian Church of God to come between
me and God. Prior to my becoming the
General Overseer, with a two-minute prayer,
I got results, but after I became the General
Overseer, it took efforts of binding and
loosing, praying in tongues and resisting the
devil for me to obtain personal miracles. In
light of this, I started to crave seriously to
become like a baby once again. It is an easy
thing to lose focus if one is not watchful.
Humility is the key thing here. Many people
have missed it on this point today because
they love to flaunt their titles, positions and
achievements. When they talk, you think
they are the ones behind their
achievements. When addressed as brother,
they will immediately correct you, “I am
Pastor, Apostle and Doctor so and so”. Yet,
at many times, they themselves address the
great apostles of old as Paul or Peter etc,
without using any prefix.
PRAYER POINT :
Father, please help me to always see myself
as a child before you.

MONDAY 24 NOVEMBER 2014.
TOPIC>>WHEN GENTLENESS IS MISAPPLIED.
Memory Verse
The law and the prophets were
until John: since that time the kingdom of
God is preached, and every man presseth
into it.

LUKE 16 : 16.
READ
MATTHEW 11 : 11 - 12.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that
are born of women there hath not risen a
greater than John the Baptist:
notwithstanding he that is least in the
kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist
until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth
violence, and the violent take it by force.
Message
Gentleness and meekness are fruit of the
Spirit which must be found in children of
God. However, some children of God have
misunderstood gentleness as demanded by
scripture to mean tolerating everything,
including the enemies that they should get
tough with. The Bible says that right from
the time John the Baptist appeared to
preach the kingdom of God, obtaining the
kingdom of God has required violence. This
is so because, just as God has made
provision for us in Christ to enter into the
kingdom, there is an opposing kingdom of
darkness that want to do everything it can to
prevent us from accessing the kingdom of
God and its benefits. Hence, you have to be
violent with the enemy. You are not meant
to go softly with Satan and his emissaries,
no! The scripture gives us a clearer picture
of this in Luke 16 : 16, which says :
“The law and the prophets were until John:
since that time the kingdom of God is
preached, and every man presseth into it.”
Pressing into a place implies using force, the
force of God. This implies going violent
against every opposition. This is why you
must be strong in the Lord ( Ephesians 6 :
10 - 13 ) so that the enemy would not gain
the upper hand and press you out of God’s
good plan and provision for your life.
Satan, demons and all that they stand for
must be treated violently. Satan is to be
resisted ( James 4 : 7 ) and demons must be
cast out ( Mark 16 : 17 ). Hence, all their
manifestations in the form of bondages,
sicknesses, diseases, sorrows, death etc, are
to be stopped. Besides, we are not to take it
lightly with the flesh at all, the flesh is an
ally of the devil and it does not want to
please God but itself. Therefore, no
pampering of the flesh; we are to deny the
flesh its cravings and indulgencies. Can you
see why you must be strong in your spirit
man so that you can subject the flesh to the
will of God? What about the world system of
evil? We must not allow it to draw us into its
embrace. A child of God must know when
and how to bluntly say No to an invitation to
sin irrespective of who is involved, even
without blinking an eye, like the three
Hebrew boys before that great king,
Nebuchadnezzar ( Daniel 3 : 16 - 17 ).
PRAYER POINT :
Father, help me never to tolerate nonsense
from the devil and his cohorts, but to
always deal with them as you commanded in
Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC>>DIVINE COMPASSION.
MEMORY VERSE :
And when the Lord saw her, he
had compassion on her, and said unto her,
Weep not.

LUKE 7 : 13.
READ :
LUKE 7 : 12 - 15.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of
the city, behold, there was a dead man
carried out, the only son of his mother, and
she was a widow: and much people of the
city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had
compassion on her, and said unto her,
Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and
they that bare him stood still. And he said,
Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began
to speak. And he delivered him to his
mother.
Message
At many times, the compassion that we as
human beings show towards the plight of
others cannot go beyond sympathising with
them. This is especially so in the face of
serious and intimidating needs, pains or
sorrowful incidents. We plead with others,
speak words of encouragement and
consolation, and of course we pray with
them. This is understandable, but why is it
so? It is so because we are humans and not
God, creatures and not the Creator. With
God however, it is a different situation.
God’s compassion always leads to a definite
action that brings about a change in the
situation and experience of the one on
whom He shows compassion. Someone
actually described God’s compassion as
mercy in action. Divine action always
accompanies divine compassion, to the
extent that the most hopeless situation can
be brought back to life again, just like it
happened in the case of the dead body of
Lazarus, which had been in the grave for
four (4) days, but was brought back to life
again (John 11). What is that situation in
your life that is considered hopeless and for
which you are tired of human limited
compassionate expressions. In the Name of
Jesus, your case will receive the attention of
God’s compassion this season and shall be
transformed.
Consider the case of the widow in our Bible
text. Humanly speaking, her case of tragedy
had gotten to a point of no return by reason
of the demise of her only source of
consolation, following the death of her
husband (i.e. her only son). Indeed, she
received a great outpouring of limited
human compassion, which could not go
beyond weeping and wailing along with her,
and accompanying her with the remains of
her son to his grave. Just then, a drastic turn
to her situation occurred because the divine
compassion of God in Jesus Christ met her. I
say to you in that trouble of yours, God’s
compassion is engaging you for a complete
turn-around now in Jesus’ Name. The Bible
records in Luke 7 : 13 - 15 that :
“And when the Lord saw her, he had
compassion on her, and said unto her,
Weep not. And he came and touched the
bier: and they that bare him stood still. And
he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
And he that was dead sat up, and began to
speak. And he delivered him to his mother.“
Hallelujah! God will have compassion on you
and you will have testimonies in Jesus’
Name.
ACTION POINT :
Pick an issue confronting you or your
family, ask that the compassion of God be
made manifest in that situation in Jesus’
Name.

TOPIC>>THE ALL-KNOWING GOD.
Memory Verse
O LORD, thou hast searched
me, and known me.

PSALM 139 : 1.
Read
PSALM 139 : 1 - 6.
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O
LORD, thou hast searched me, and known
me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine
uprising, thou understandest my thought
afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying
down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but,
lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before,
and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Message
God is the only one whose knowledge
covers both actual and possible happenings.
He knows everything about things that are,
and He has the knowledge of all things that
could have been. Concerning you, He knows
everything, down to the very thought of your
heart. Even the things you will think of in
future, He knows them ( Psalm 139 : 1 - 2 ).
The devil’s knowledge is not in any way
close to the level of God’s knowledge at all.
He does not know the thought of your heart
unless you reveal it one way or the other.
Don’t ever make the mistake of equating
Satan’s level of knowledge with that of God.
Although Satan makes the most of his
limited knowledge in advancing the interest
of his kingdom, God is able to turn his
wisdom and the wisdom of all your enemies
into foolishness. This was demonstrated in
the case of Moses, who was born to deliver
Israel from their captivity in Egypt.
Several years earlier in Genesis 15 : 13 - 14,
when God was speaking to Abraham that his
descendants would be in servitude for four
hundred (400) years in a strange land,
Satan heard it. At the expiration of the four
hundred (400) years, Satan knew that a
saviour would be born for the deliverance of
God’s people. So he put machinery in place
to eliminate this saviour in order to stall the
liberation of God’s people. One element of
his grand plan was the enthronement of a
Pharaoh who would not acknowledge Joseph
or what he had done for Egypt. This
Pharaoh was therefore hostile to God’s
people. Satan used him to decree the killing
of all Hebrew male children. In spite of this,
Moses the liberator was raised under his
very nose, in his palace and with his
resources. If Satan knew everything, Moses
would not have survived, he would have
exposed him. God is able to raise you up in
the midst of your enemies. Indeed, the Lord
will blindfold all those seeking after your life
and they will become your greatest asset,
helpers, providers and stepping stones to
greater heights in Jesus’ Name.
ACTION POINT :
Worship the most High God for His
exclusive attribute of being the all knowing
and for being able to bring His counsel to
pass in your life, irrespective of all that the
enemies may plan.

TOPIC>>WORLD CHANGERS
MEMORY VERSE
And when they found them not, they drew
Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers
of the city, crying, These that have turned
the world upside down are come hither
also;

Acts 17:6
Read:
Acts 8:5-12
5 Then Philip went down to the city of
Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed
unto those things which Philip spake,
hearing and seeing the miracles which he
did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice,
came out of many that were possessed with
them: and many taken with palsies, and that
were lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
9 But there was a certain man, called Simon,
which beforetime in the same city used
sorcery, and bewitched the people of
Samaria, giving out that himself was some
great one:
10 To whom they all gave heed, from the
least to the greatest, saying, This man is the
great power of God.
11 And to him they had regard, because that
of long time he had bewitched them with
sorceries.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching
the things concerning the kingdom of God,
and the name of Jesus Christ, they were
baptized, both men and women.
Message
Jesus left a group of 11 apostles behind
when He ascended to heaven. He left them
with a purpose and a mission to the world.
He left them in the world, not to get
absorbed or influenced by it, but to change
it. Did they succeed? They very well did. Not
long after Jesus had gone, in far away
Thessalonica, the people exclaimed that the
Christian brethren had “turned the world
upside down”. This was an
acknowledgement of the fact that they had
brought change to the world (Acts 17:6).
For us in this generation, we should realise
that the generation that the world cannot
change is the generation that will change the
world. If the believers of old were flowing
with the Satan influenced current of their
time, they would not have made any impact
and they would not have passed down the
torch of the gospel effectively through
successive subsequent generations.
To change the world, you need to
understand the current situation of the
world, its functions and the active players
involved. You cannot change a system you
know nothing about. Some of us don’t know
the current trends in the world around us. If
you truly see yourself as being on a mission
for God on earth, you cannot afford not to
care about what is going on around you.
Even our Lord Jesus Christ was aware that a
tower fell on some people in Siloam and
was able to appropriately reply those who
asked Him questions regarding the incident
(Luke 13:4). Next, you need to map out your
strategy. Through careful planning,
strategise for the desired change you want
to introduce, considering the resources at
your disposal in Christ and who is behind
your vision (Luke 14:28). Having done all
these, “stick to your guns” in Christ. Don’t
be lured away from your objective, don’t
succumb to intimidations or blackmail and
don’t be distracted (Philippians 3:13-14).
Action Point:
How much are you contributing towards
changing the world by witnessing Jesus
Christ? Be involved!

TOPIC>>VICTORIOUS IN JESUS
MEMORY VERSE
No weapon that is formed against thee shall
prosper; and every tongue that shall rise
against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants
of the LORD, and their righteousness is of
me, saith the LORD.

Isaiah 54:17
Read:
Deuteronomy 30:19-20
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day
against you, that I have set before you life
and death, blessing and cursing: therefore
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may
live:
20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God,
and that thou mayest obey his voice, and
that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is
thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou
mayest dwell in the land which the LORD
sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Message
Some of life’s experiences are contrasting
pairs. There is the good and the bad,
success and failure, progress and
retardation, joy and sorrow, peace and
trouble, the list goes on. It is my prayer that
your experiences in life will not consist of
the negative element of the various
contrasting pairs in Jesus’ Name.
Nevertheless, much as no sane person will
wish for himself the negative aspects of life,
there is no single person that will not face a
challenge of life at one point or the other.
Life’s challenges vary in nature and
magnitude. There are challenges that come
as a result of efforts towards achieving
greatness, these are necessary in order to
attain greater heights. Anyone facing such
should be prepared to tackle them with
endurance and the assistance of God.
There are however some other forms of
life’s challenges which are devastating and
are uninvited. These are usually designed by
the enemy - the devil and by those who
allow him to use them. Oh, how many
promising lives have been prematurely
terminated by these evil forces! How many
hopes of a greater tomorrow have been
dashed by the activities of these evil entities!
Some potential professors, geniuses and
business moguls are scavenging on the
dunghill because their brains have been
remotely reprogrammed. May you never fall
victim of this network of evil in Jesus’ Name.
In case you are already a victim in one way
or the other, as you turn your heart to Jesus
without reservation, I decree that your
prison doors be opened now in Jesus’
Name.
Living in victory and being on top of every
situation in peace and confidence is
guaranteed only if you love God, cleave to
Him and obey His voice, Deuteronomy 30:20
says:
“That thou mayest love the LORD thy God,
and that thou mayest obey his voice, and
that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is
thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou
mayest dwell in the land which the LORD
sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
Love God above anyone and anything else,
be obedient completely to Him and get
yourself hooked on Him and not on any
“pleasure” giving habit or person. Note that
this passage says God is your life and your
length of days. This is awesome, it means
that whoever attempts to harm you is done
for; hence you will fulfil the number of your
days and your destiny also.
Action Point:
Annul every counsel of the adversary against
you and your loved ones in Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC>>CAST YOUR BURDEN ON CHRIST
Memory Verse
Cast thy burden upon the
LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall
never suffer the righteous to be moved
.
PSALM 55 : 22.
READ :
1 PETERS 5 : 6 - 7.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the
mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you
in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he
careth for you.
Message
What a marvellous thing to know that I don’t
need to bear my burden by myself anymore.
We have an express and authoritative
assurance that God carries our loads of
burden. This means that I need not get
worried over anything anymore. In fact, His
word in Psalm 55 : 22 is not a mere
admonition, it is a command. In it He says:
“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he
shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the
righteous to be moved.”
God is always willing to help men, but men
do not always avail themselves of God’s
unfailing ability to help like no other can.
Rather, they prefer to bear their burdens all
by themselves; thus, many get crushed
under their burden. For instance, man
cannot by himself get free from the burden
laid on him by the devil. This is why Jesus
came to undo the burden of sin for man.
The burden of sin is the greatest of all
burdens. No one should think that mere
religious observance can set him free from
this burden, no it can’t!
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that
his burden shall be taken away from off thy
shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck,
and the yoke shall be destroyed because of
the anointing.”
Isaiah 10 : 27
Beloved, what is that burden of sickness,
unpaid rent, mortgages, debt or wayward
child, let the Lord know that you are
releasing the burden to Him now and see
what He will do. The Lord sent the same
word as the scripture above through Peter
in 1 Peter 5 : 7. This time, He says that we
should cast all our care upon Him. Note
that He says “all”. All means everything
without any left. The trouble is that many of
His children do not think God really means
what He said. God is not frivolous like men.
Many children of God, rather than bring
their burdens to God, they like rushing to
fellow human beings who themselves need
assistance. A woman, who for 12 years had
been bleeding without any remedy, spent
all her living seeking help from men. They
were merely living off her; they could not lift
this terrible burden off her life. In
desperation, she brought this burden to
Jesus as her last resort. Immediately, her
fountain of blood dried instantly ( Mark 5 :
25 - 29 ). Do as this woman did, come to
Jesus with your burden today, but only let it
be in faith.
ACTION POINT :
Father I am grateful for commanding me to
cast my burden upon you. Now earnestly
tell him the specific burdens of your life you
want Him to take away.

TOPIC>>ANNOINTING DESTROYS THE YOKE.
Memory Verse
And it shall come to pass in
that day, that his burden shall be taken
away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke
from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be
destroyed because of the anointing.

ISAIAH 10 : 27.
READ :
PSALM 26 : 1 - 6.
1 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I
have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted
also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try
my reins and my heart.
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine
eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither
will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil
doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so
will I compass thine altar, O LORD
Message
Whenever it rains, water flows from the sky
(top) to the ground (bottom). This same
principle applies to the anointing. The
anointing flows from the top (leaders) to the
bottom (congregation). If your leader for
instance is anointed, then the anointing will
flow down to you. If you pray for your
leader, you are praying for yourself. Rain
brings comfort and refreshment. In like
manner, the anointing destroys yokes –
Isaiah 10 : 27 says :
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that
his burden shall be taken away from off thy
shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck,
and the yoke shall be destroyed because of
the anointing.”
The anointing brings freedom, liberty, relief,
refreshment, release from prison, healing
etc ( Isaiah 61 : 1 ). Rain brings a new start;
the anointing does the same ( Isaiah 61 : 2 -
3 ). The anointing brings beauty for ashes
and joy for mourners. Rain is a sign of
divine favour, so is the anointing in the life
of the anointed. The anointing announces
divine favour. God uses the anointing to
show that a man has found favour with
Him; this was the case with David in 1
Samuel 16 : 12 - 13. Rain activates seeds
sown; the anointing also activates whatever
God has ordained. When God promises you
something, the anointing activates its
actualisation ( 2 Samuel 2 : 4 ).
Whatever yokes the anointing has destroyed
cannot be resuscitated except the person
involved goes back to sin, thereby opening
the door to bigger yokes of the enemy. In
John 5 : 14, Jesus told the healed man at the
pool Bethesda to go and sin no more lest a
worse thing comes on him. The anointing of
God can flow without ceasing if you abide in
God’s will. In Isaiah 35:10, the anointing of
God on your head is called everlasting joy,
this shows its ability to continuously flow
without ceasing.
PRAYER POINT :
Father, anoint my head with your fresh
anointing that will be an answer to my
generation.

together, and running over, shall men give
into your bosom. For with the same
measure that ye mete withal it shall be
measured to you again.
Message
If you are a good student of the Bible, you
would have discovered that God specialises
in performing special miracles when those
who give sacrificially call upon Him. The
story of the Shunammite woman teaches us
vital lessons, one of which is that givers will
always secure heavens’ attention. When you
meet God’s needs, He will also meet your
needs supernaturally and promptly. The
Shunammite woman took care of Elisha time
and again. She demonstrated uncommon
commitment to ensuring that the man of
God - Elisha, was well catered for at all
times. And so one day, the Spirit of God told
Elisha to ask this woman what she needed.
She said she needed nothing but the man of
God discovered that she had no child and
he prophesied that she would have a baby
within nine months. God’s word through
Elisha was fulfilled and the Shunammite
woman became a mother within nine
months (2 Kings 4:16-17).
Givers always experience unprecedented
miracles. When you give sacrificially, God
will make the impossible become possible in
your life. There is a brother I met during
one of my ministerial trips to Eastern
Nigeria. The brother picked me up at the
airport having taken up the responsibility of
driving me everywhere I went while the
programme lasted. When it was time to
leave, I thought of a parting gift I could give
in appreciation of the hospitality. So I gave
him some money and said, “Brother, kindly
give this small gift to your children”. His
response shocked me. He shouted “Amen”
continuously and prayerfully. I called the
Pastor-in-charge of that Province aside to
find out why the brother was so
enthusiastic about the gift I offered his
children. The pastor informed me that
although the brother was so rich, he was
childless. I told the pastor that God was
going to surprise him with a miracle. When I
visited the same city the following year, the
rich brother was at the airport as usual to
pick me up. On that particular occasion, he
came with a surprise gift. With tears of joy
streaming down his face, he declared, “This
is a gift from my first son”. The rich brother
who had been childless for a number of
years became a proud father miraculously
by offering to drive me in his car. By
believing the word of the Lord, the reproach
of childlessness was rolled away from his
life. You can begin to give sacrificially as
from today and I tell you the Lord will bless
you beyond your wildest dreams. I pray that
your next offering will bring a gift that
money cannot buy into your life in Jesus’
Name.
Action Point:!
Look around you, find someone who is in
need and bless him or her with a surprise
gift. You will experience the beauty of being
a generous giver.

TOPIC>>WAIT FOR YOUR HARVEST I
Memory verse
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the
coming of the Lord. Behold, the
husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit
of the earth, and hath long patience for it,
until he receive the early and latter rain.

James 5:7
Read:
Genesis 8:20-22
8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the
LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of
every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings
on the altar.
8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour;
and the LORD said in his heart, I will not
again curse the ground any more for man's
sake; for the imagination of man's heart is
evil from his youth; neither will I again smite
any more every thing living, as I have done.
8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime
and harvest, and cold and heat, and
summer and winter, and day and night shall
not cease.
Message
There is a time span between seedtime and
harvest time. The time between sowing and
harvesting could be short or long
depending on the type of seed sown. If the
seed is significant, you may have to wait for
some time before you reap the harvest.
Farmers are never in a hurry. They know
that they must wait for the harvest if they
desire a good yield. Some believers are of
the opinion that one can sow in the
morning and reap in the evening. It is quite
possible, but it depends on what you want
to harvest. Some crops can be harvested
within three to six months, while others may
require more than one year before the
farmer can harvest them. There is no magic
in farming as there are set procedures for
planting and harvesting. When a farmer
plants seeds, it dies and sprouts again; then
within a specific period, it grows until it
bears fruit. It is at this maturity stage that
the famers begin to harvest. So, you have to
wait for the time of harvest. As the Lord
lives, the harvest will surely come if you sow
on a good ground in Jesus’ Name. Children
of God must learn to wait for their harvest to
come. It is sad to note that some children of
God are too much in a hurry to take their
harvest. This is why they go into practices
that are not Christ-like and in so doing they
get their spiritual fingers burnt by the fire of
lust and greed. The Bible in James 5:7 says:
“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the
coming of the Lord. Behold, the
husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit
of the earth, and hath long patience for it,
until he receive the early and latter rain.”
Your harvest can take any form. It may be a
promotion or recognition for hard work.
While faithfully serving an organisation for
instance, you must learn to wait for
management to appreciate your sense of
devotion to duty and not agitate for
recognition. It will be tantamount to
blowing your own trumpet if you do so. As a
matter of fact, it may be that you are merely
ambitious but you think you are putting in
your best. It may shock you if your employer
declares that your so-called best is not good
enough for recognition! When I lived in the
village, any farmer who hurriedly harvested
his yam tubers ended up denying himself a
bumper harvest, as he would have disturbed
the yams from developing into large tubers.
Such unripe yam tubers are not as delicious
as those which reach the ripe age before
harvest. I pray that the Almighty Father will
give you the patience to wait for bountiful
harvest from your sown seeds in Jesus’
Name.
Prayer Point:
Father, give me adequate patience to wait
for my day of glorification in Jesus’ Name.

Message
I learnt a valuable lesson some years ago.
When the crowd of participants at our
monthly Holy Ghost service began to
increase, I decided to select seven elders to
help in the area of ministering to people. I
gave each of them neckties that I had used
during previous ministrations. “Put on these
neckties; they are already soaked with God’s
anointing during my previous ministrations”
I told them. Whenever they wore those
neckties and ministered, supernatural
miracles always occurred. As signs and
wonders happened in the area of
ministration, something else happened in
my own life. I was showered with gifts of
neckties. Each time my close acquaintances
travelled, they came back with just one type
of gift - neckties. Wherever they travelled to,
the only gifts they brought to me were
neckties. Then I asked God, “Why are these
people just giving me neckties? Can’t they
come up with some other gifts beside
neckties?” God gave me insight into what
was happening. He said, “Son, if you sow
ties, you will reap ties.” I quickly got the
message and decided to start sowing shoes.
I located pastors who wore my shoe size
and I gave them a good number of my
shoes, among which were some of my best
shoes. I expected a harvest of new shoes in
the first month following my act of giving,
but there was no gift of shoes for me. When
another month rolled by and there was still
no gift of shoes for me, I went to God and
said, “Daddy, you told me that if I sow, I
would reap.” It was then the Lord taught me
another lesson, He said, “Son, if you plant
maize, you can harvest it within three
months, but if you plant yam, you will wait a
little longer”. The Almighty God said to me,
“Shoes are of greater value than ties, the
greater the quality of the seed sown, the
more time you will have to spend in waiting
for the harvest. You have planted shoes and
you will have to wait a little longer; but the
moment the harvest starts, there will be no
stopping it”. Later, I was showered with
shoes of all sizes and colours: big, small,
white, green, black and all kinds of
sophisticated shoes. When the harvest
eventually came in full, I was pleasantly
surprised. James 5:7 says,
“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the
coming of the Lord. Behold, the
husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit
of the earth, and hath long patience for it,
until he receive the early and latter rain.”
If you have sown any seed, your harvest will
soon come. Just wait a little while and your
harvest will locate you in the Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point:
Father, please let my harvest come speedily
and help me not to be weary in well-doing.

TOPIC>>SECRETS OF ABUNDANCE I
Memory Verse
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God
gave the increase. So then neither is he that
planteth anything, neither he that watereth;
but God that giveth the increase.

1 Corinthians 3:6-7
Read:
Genesis 26:12-14
26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and
received in the same year an hundredfold:
and the LORD blessed him.
26:13 And the man waxed great, and went
forward, and grew until he became very
great:
26:14 For he had possession of flocks, and
possession of herds, and great store of
servants: and the Philistines envied him.
Message
You must be prepared to work hard if you
want abundance. Nevertheless, it is quite a
different thing to work hard, and another
thing to experience abundance. Although
God may grant you open doors to financial
favour, it is your responsibility to work
towards getting to the pinnacle of all-round
abundance. To achieve this, you will be
required to do a great deal of hard work.
Diligence in hard work is always rewarded.
Farmers work hard to reap beautiful harvest.
When farmers sow seeds, they begin to
grow, but weeds also alongside the seeds
sown. Therefore, besides nurturing the good
seeds, you must also work hard to get rid of
weeds. You are not only expected to work
hard, but also to pray hard. Anyone who
desires an encounter with the Almighty,
which would yield the ultimate abundant
blessing, must be ready to work and pray
hard.
    “I have planted, Apollos watered;
but God gave the increase.”
1 Corinthians 3:6
Paul may plant and Apollos may water but it
is God alone who gives the increase. You
must learn to pray hard and call upon God
to give you increase. Lazy people cannot
experience all-round blessing. Those who
are not prepared to work and pray hard are
not yet ready for any form of meaningful
breakthrough. Remember to put God first
when your harvest begins. The Bible
commands that we must honour God with
our first fruits. Some people harvest and
allow the proceeds to waste away. Until you
learn to honour God with your substances,
you will not be able to benefit even from the
harvest you have laboured for. The Bible
attributes one of the reasons for fruitless
efforts to failure to put God first in our
harvests (Haggai 1:4-6). Some people gather
their harvests and put them in bags with
holes. The problem of leaking bags
emanates from failure to honour God by
giving Him the first fruits of our harvest. If
you do not give to God, you may end up
wasting away the proceeds of your harvest.
Those who harvest into bags with holes are
those who refuse to put God first. Put God
first in all your earnings as from today and
you will experience abundance.
Action Point:
Think of the ways you have been robbing
God of His tithes and first fruits. Repent and
perform restitution.

But unto none of them was Elias sent, save

that was a widow.

Read:
Luke 4:25-26
4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows

months, when great famine was throughout
all the land;
4:26 But unto none of them was Elias sent,
save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a
woman that was a widow.
Message
Working hard and praying hard are
prerequisite to enjoying God’s abundance.
Apart from these, another secret of
abundance is consistent sowing. You must
keep sowing if you want to experience
abundant life. The first seed you sow may
open the door to blessings, but it takes
persistent sowing to keep the door of
blessings open. Let us take a closer look at
the story of the widow of Zarephath (1 Kings
17:10-16). What opened the door of blessing
to her was the first cake she made for
Elijah, but what kept the food flowing was
the fact that everyday, she kept on making
cakes for Elijah. Your initial act of giving can
take you to a level of abundant blessing.
However, what will lead you to the level of
ultimate abundance is persistent giving. The
loss would have been unimaginable, if by
the third day, this widow had stopped
giving. This would have resulted in the
drying up of her source of supply. Let us
also learn a lesson from Solomon’s
example. The first time he sacrificed unto
God, he offered a thousand offerings. God
prospered Him in no small measure through
a mighty harvest that was unleashed on him.
The next time he sacrificed unto God, he
offered twenty two thousand oxen. 1 Kings
8:63 says:
“And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace
offerings, which he offered unto the LORD,
two and twenty thousand oxen, and an
hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So
the king and all the children of Israel
dedicated the house of the LORD.”
Solomon kept on increasing in wealth
because he kept on giving. At the end, he
attained the level of ultimate financial
breakthrough. He became so rich that
nobody could attempt to count the amount
of silver he had. For someone reading this
devotional, you will become so rich that
only higher denominations of money will
matter to you. When your workers bring in
the proceeds from your business, you will
tell them to hand in the higher
denominations and keep the lower
denominations for themselves. Let’s ask
ourselves this question: “What is the mystery
behind the giving done by the widow of
Zarephath?” It is an uncommon faith in God.
It is this faith that made her to give her only
means of sustenance. She gave her only
food to Elijah because she needed to
surrender the future into the hands of the
God of Elijah. For these secrets of abundant
blessing to work for you, you must first give
your life to Jesus Christ. You must surrender
your life to Him today if you have not done
so already. Today can become your moment
of supernatural breakthrough.
Prayer Point:
Father, I hand over my life to you; take care
of my future in the Name of Jesus.

Memory Verse
For there is hope of a tree, if it
be cut down, that it will sprout again, and
that the tender branch thereof will not
cease.

JOB 14 : 7.
READ :
2 KINGS 4 : 1 - 7.
1 Now there cried a certain woman of the
wives of the sons of the prophets unto
Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is
dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did
fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to
take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do
for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the
house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath
not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels
abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty
vessels; borrow not a few.
4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt
shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons,
and shalt pour out into all those vessels,
and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
5 So she went from him, and shut the door
upon her and upon her sons, who brought
the vessels to her; and she poured out.
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels
were full, that she said unto her son, Bring
me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There
is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7 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.
Message
If you are a student of the Bible, you would
have discovered through divine inspiration
that the presence of God in any situation
causes a turnaround of that situation with
positive results. For example, when God
comes into the situation of a debtor, the
debtor can become a lender to nations and
a poor widow could become the richest
person in her community. There is a
beautiful story in the Bible reading of today,
which illustrates the fact that the poorest
can become the richest and that an outcast
can become a celebrity. When you have an
encounter with God, and you carry out the
divine instructions given to you at the
instance of that encounter, your story would
become a reference point that people would
use in pointing out the wonders of God. A
widow who had lost every hope had an
encounter with God when she came across
Elisha the prophet. She got a miracle which
altered the course of her life’s history.
“Now there cried a certain woman of the
wives of the sons of the prophets unto
Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is
dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did
fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to
take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.”
2 Kings 4 : 1.
There are certain lessons to be learnt from
the story of this widow such as the fact that
she desperately cried for help. From this, we
see that for any hopeless fellow to receive
help from the “Present Help in the time of
need” ( Psalm 46 : 1 ), he or she needs to
cry to Him. God is eager to intervene in the
affairs of those who will cry to him for help.
The Bible in Jeremiah 29 : 13 says :
“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye
shall search for me with all your heart.”
Those who seek God with all their heart will
find him. As long as you decide to manage
your situation or remain at your present
level and condition, the cry of your prayer
will be far from being desperate. But when
you are really tired of your situation like this
widow, you will cry out to God desperately.
The Bible did not say the widow had a chat
with Elisha, but that she cried unto Him
because she was in desperate need of a
miracle. Also, we are not told that the
widow murmured before Elisha, but that
she cried. The widow did not grumble to
attract the attention of the prophet of God;
she cried out for divine intervention. The
widow got attention and her problem was
permanently solved. God is going to answer
your cry today and you will sing a new song
of victory, super-abundance, peace and joy
unspeakable in Jesus’ Name.
ACTION POINT :
Cry unto God and tell Him where your
“shoes hurt” and He will grant you
permanent relief.

A man that hath friends must

that sticketh closer than a brother.

PROVERBS 18 : 24.
READ :
2 KINGS 4 : 1 - 8.
1 Now there cried a certain woman of the
wives of the sons of the prophets unto
Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is
dead; and thou knowest that thy servant
did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come
to take unto him my two sons to be

2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do

4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt

5 So she went from him, and shut the door
upon her and upon her sons, who brought
the vessels to her; and she poured out.
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels
were full, that she said unto her son, Bring
me yet a vessel. And he said unto her,
There is not a vessel more. And the oil
stayed.
7 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

8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to
Shunem, where was a great woman; and
she constrained him to eat bread. And so it
was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned
in thither to eat bread.
Message
The widow of the dead indebted son of the
prophets lived in a predominantly poor but
friendly neighborhood. This can be
deduced from the response of her
neighbors to her request for empty vessels.
There are lessons to learn from this
interesting story, one of such is that: you
are living in the midst of opportunities.
Where you live right now is where your
miracles are. God will inspire you and like
that widow, you will discover that your
miracles are in your neighbourhood in
Jesus’ Name. The point to note here is that,
you must be friendly with the people living
around you. Can you imagine what would
have happened after Elisha told the widow
to go to her neighbours for the vessels with
which she must collect the object of her
miracles and she couldn’t because she was
not friendly with them? Can you imagine
what their response will be if she had
fought all the people in her neighborhood?
The Bible in Proverbs 18 : 24 says,
“A man that hath friends must shew
himself friendly: and there is a friend that
sticketh closer than a brother.”
In so many instances, you do not need to
relocate from where you are to get your
breakthrough. In Genesis 26 : 1 - 3, we
come across another interesting story in
which God commanded Isaac not to go
down to Egypt. God commanded him to
stay in Gerar despite the famine in that
land. He stayed and God blessed him
mightily. In like manner, God is going to
prosper you no matter the economic
recession in your neighborhood or in your
country. There is a river in your
neighborhood that harbors a particular fish
with a gold coin in its belly. All you need to
do is to catch the fish, open its mouth and
claim the coin that will enrich you for life
( Matthew 17 : 27 ). There are some people
in your neighbourhood, who have more
money than they can ever spend in a
lifetime. You only need to reach out to
them with the message of salvation. Do you
know that those that are extremely rich are
hungry for the message of salvation? There
was a young lady that preached to a rich
man and he gave his life to Christ. This
man became so filled with the joy of
salvation that he decided to give something
to this sister. He purchased a brand new
car as a gift for this sister in appreciation
for the salvation of his soul. What God did
for that sister, He can do for you. Go out
and be a good neighbour to those around
you by offering them the message of hope
and salvation. You will be surprised at how
God can reward your labour of love. Be a
good neighbour today by evangelising to
the lost souls in your neighborhood.
ACTION POINT :
Go out and preach the gospel to your

TOPIC>>GOOD NEIGHBOURLINESS.
Memory Verse
A man that hath friends must
shew himself friendly: and there is a friend
that sticketh closer than a brother.

PROVERBS 18 : 24.
READ :
2 KINGS 4 : 1 - 8.
1 Now there cried a certain woman of the
wives of the sons of the prophets unto
Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is
dead; and thou knowest that thy servant
did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come
to take unto him my two sons to be
bondmen.
2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do
for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the
house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath
not any thing in the house, save a pot of
oil.
3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels
abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty
vessels; borrow not a few.
4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt
shut the door upon thee and upon thy
sons, and shalt pour out into all those
vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which
is full.
5 So she went from him, and shut the door
upon her and upon her sons, who brought
the vessels to her; and she poured out.
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels
were full, that she said unto her son, Bring
me yet a vessel. And he said unto her,
There is not a vessel more. And the oil
stayed.
7 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.
8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to
Shunem, where was a great woman; and
she constrained him to eat bread. And so it
was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned
in thither to eat bread.
Message
The widow of the dead indebted son of the
prophets lived in a predominantly poor but
friendly neighborhood. This can be
deduced from the response of her
neighbors to her request for empty vessels.
There are lessons to learn from this
interesting story, one of such is that: you
are living in the midst of opportunities.
Where you live right now is where your
miracles are. God will inspire you and like
that widow, you will discover that your
miracles are in your neighbourhood in
Jesus’ Name. The point to note here is that,
you must be friendly with the people living
around you. Can you imagine what would
have happened after Elisha told the widow
to go to her neighbours for the vessels with
which she must collect the object of her
miracles and she couldn’t because she was
not friendly with them? Can you imagine
what their response will be if she had
fought all the people in her neighborhood?
The Bible in Proverbs 18 : 24 says,
“A man that hath friends must shew
himself friendly: and there is a friend that
sticketh closer than a brother.”
In so many instances, you do not need to
relocate from where you are to get your
breakthrough. In Genesis 26 : 1 - 3, we
come across another interesting story in
which God commanded Isaac not to go
down to Egypt. God commanded him to
stay in Gerar despite the famine in that
land. He stayed and God blessed him
mightily. In like manner, God is going to
prosper you no matter the economic
recession in your neighborhood or in your
country. There is a river in your
neighborhood that harbors a particular fish
with a gold coin in its belly. All you need to
do is to catch the fish, open its mouth and
claim the coin that will enrich you for life
( Matthew 17 : 27 ). There are some people
in your neighbourhood, who have more
money than they can ever spend in a
lifetime. You only need to reach out to
them with the message of salvation. Do you
know that those that are extremely rich are
hungry for the message of salvation? There
was a young lady that preached to a rich
man and he gave his life to Christ. This
man became so filled with the joy of
salvation that he decided to give something
to this sister. He purchased a brand new
car as a gift for this sister in appreciation
for the salvation of his soul. What God did
for that sister, He can do for you. Go out
and be a good neighbour to those around
you by offering them the message of hope
and salvation. You will be surprised at how
God can reward your labour of love. Be a
good neighbour today by evangelising to
the lost souls in your neighborhood.

TOPIC>>YOUR BEST IS ON THE WAY.
Memory Verse
But as it is written, Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them that love
him.

1 CORINTHIANS 2 : 9.
READ :
1 KINGS 19 : 19 - 21.
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha
the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with
twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with
the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and
cast his mantle upon him.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah,
and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father
and my mother, and then I will follow thee.
And he said unto him, Go back again: for
what have I done to thee?
21 And he returned back from him, and
took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and
boiled their flesh with the instruments of the
oxen, and gave unto the people, and they
did eat. Then he arose, and went after
Elijah, and ministered unto him.
Message
Elisha was a rich man even by current
standards. He was the son of a wealthy
farmer. Using today’s agricultural
terminology, we can say that Elisha’s father
had twelve “tractors” working for him on his
large farmland. A farmer who has twelve
tractors must without doubt be classified as
a millionaire. Although Elisha was rich, he
did not know that God had something
greater for him. In most instances, people
often hold on to what is good and miss out
on the better and the best. Those who have
experienced a measure of success or
financial prosperity, tend to settle for the
minimum while the maximum is begging to
be possessed. The tragedy of this situation
is that, those who have achieved just a
minimum level of prosperity conclude that
there is no better level to attain. Some
people climb few rungs on the ladder of
progress and settle down, whereas the
Almighty God has planned to take them to
the highest level of wealth attainable. Elisha
thought he was wealthy, but he did not
know that a day was coming when kings
would serve him and call him “Father”! He
thought he was going to die a rich farmer,
but God had a different plan for him. In like
manner, God has a glorious plan for you.
Presidents will serve you before you leave
this world in Jesus’ Name. The Bible says :
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard, neither have entered into the
heart of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him.”
1 Corinthians 2 : 9.
Elisha was wise. He traded his level of
achievement for a higher one by allowing
God to have His way in his life. Elisha
decided to surrender sugar for honey. On
the day the mantle of Elijah fell upon him,
his destiny changed. God brought him to the
realm of ultimate greatness. Elisha knew that
to receive ultimate greatness from God, he
needed to surrender what he was holding
on to. You must offer God what appears to
be your best at the moment, so that He can
give you what is better than your best. How
will God give you the best He has in store
for you? What will God do to make you rich
beyond your wildest imagination? I really
don’t know. However, what I know is that
God can do anything just to bless you.
Whatever He has promised, He definitely
will fulfil to the letter.
PRAYER POINT :
Father, please send your best to me today
and let my good give way for your best in
Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC>>WHAT TO DO TO GET THE BEST.
Memory Verse
But my God shall supply all
your need according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.

PHILIPPIANS 4 : 19.
READ :
PHILIPPIANS 4 : 15 - 17.
15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the
beginning of the gospel, when I departed
from Macedonia, no church communicated
with me as concerning giving and receiving,
but ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once
and again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire
fruit that may abound to your account.
Message
One of the qualities which earned Elisha
greatness is hard work. Even if God decides
to bless you today, there is a level you may
never get to if you are lazy. Those who want
extraordinary blessings must be prepared to
work extraordinarily hard. The Bible in
Proverbs 22 : 29 says,
“Seest thou a man diligent in his business?
he shall stand before kings; he shall not
stand before mean men.”
Elisha was busy working hard. He did not lie
down lazily to command his father’s
labourers to work their fingers to the bone
for him. He was working alongside his
father’s labourers ( 1 Kings 19 : 19 ). Anyone
who desires divine breakthrough must be
ready to put up with hard work. All the
disciples of Jesus were hard working. He met
each one of them on duty when He called
them. Peter was a regular and skilful
fisherman before the Lord called him.
Matthew was at his work of tax collection
when the Lord called him. Christianity does
not excuse anyone from hard work. I had a
good number of friends when I became a
believer. Some of them were so lazy that
they went about talking big without
preparing for hard work. We were all taught
the principles of faith and positive
confession, but I knew that achieving
greatness in life goes beyond mere
confessions. My friends cultivated the habit
of saying: “I am the head and not the tail: I
shall prosper and lend to nations, I will
never borrow” etc. They made such
confessions without any corresponding hard
work to back them up. Some of them spent
five years making confessions like “I am a
millionaire and I possess a good car by
faith”. At the end of the day, they remained
as poor as they were at the beginning of
their confessions. If you refuse to work and
you go about confessing that you have
claimed the car of your dreams by faith, the
only car you will end up with will be your
two legs.
Another quality which earned Elisha
greatness is generosity. Immediately he was
called, he prepared a feast and fed his
people (1 Kings 19 : 21). The Bible in
Proverbs 11 : 24 says,
“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth;
and there is that withholdeth more than is
meet, but it tendeth to poverty.”
You must learn how to work hard and give
generously if you really want to be great in
life. What qualified the Philippians for God’s
supplies in Philippians 4 : 19 is found in
Philippians 4 : 15 - 17. God will bless you
beyond your wildest dreams this season in
Jesus’ Name. However, work hard and give
generously to God’s work and the needy in
your neighborhood.
PRAYER POINT :
Father, give me the strength to work hard
and the seed to sow into your kingdom and
into the life of the needy. Bless me beyond
what I can ever imagine in Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC>>SERVICE TO THE ANOINTED
Memory Verse
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of
a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward;
and he that receiveth a righteous man in
the name of a righteous man shall receive a
righteous man’s reward.

Matthew 10:41
Read:
Matthew 10:40-42
10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me,
and he that receiveth me receiveth him that
sent me.
10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the
name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's
reward; and he that receiveth a righteous
man in the name of a righteous man shall
receive a righteous man's reward.
10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink
unto one of these little ones a cup of cold
water only in the name of a disciple, verily I
say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his
reward.
Message
Elisha was devoted to serving the servant of
God, Elijah. This devotion was one of the
qualities that qualified him for uncommon
greatness. The Bible stated that Elisha
poured water on Elijah’s hand (2 Kings 3:11)
. With this and also as stated in our memory
verse, it is clear that there are lots of
blessings reserved for those who serve
God’s prophets. You can serve a man of God
without getting physical remuneration from
him. However, when a man of God
pronounces blessing on you saying “God
bless you”, he is not just paying you a
compliment. A casual “God bless you” from a
friend differs from that which a man of God
pronounces. A “God bless you” from a man
of God is loaded with prophetic blessings.
Hence you must be ready to do what will
qualify you for a divine benediction.
Recently, I was in the United States and one
of my sons in the Lord shared a testimony.
He testified thus:
“God surprised me during the General
Overseer’s (G.O.) previous visit. Prior to the
G.O.’s arrival, my pastor told me that he
had chosen me to drive the G.O. around
during his visit. I tried to explain to my
pastor that it might not be easy for me to
take up this assignment because I was
preparing for a major examination, but my
pastor insisted. I thought I could manage to
combine driving the G.O. with preparing to
write the crucial examination because my
understanding was that the G.O. would
spend just one day. To my surprise, the G.O.
spent a whole week. When he was leaving
he simply said, “God bless you”. To the glory
of God, I passed my exams in flying colours
and I got a new job and prospered
tremendously.”
May God remember all your labour of love
towards the ministers of God in Jesus’
Name.
Elisha was committed to the business of the
kingdom. Therefore, when Elijah asked to
know what he wanted, he had only one
answer: a double portion of the power on
Elijah (2 Kings 2:9). Elisha asked for what he
would use for God’s work. The Bible in
Matthew 6:33 says:
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and
his righteousness; and all these things shall
be added unto you.”
God is looking for those who are concerned
about His kingdom’s business. As from
today, may the Lord grant you the mind to
work for Him and to work with His anointed
ministers.
Action Point:
Think of how you can extend the frontiers of
God’s kingdom on earth and start its
execution.
