Fear gripped students and staffs of
Obafemi Awolowo University today as the
news of a yet-to-be confirmed case of
Ebola infection filtered through the
University community. An Undergraduate
female student was rushed to the University
Health Centre by her room mates yesterday
as she was said to be manifesting some
peculiar symptoms of the deadly disease.
The rumour got intensified today as health
workers of the World Health Organization
(WHO) and other Bodies were sighted in
the Health Centre dressed in the Ebola
protective way 'fumigating' the
environments. That would be the second
time it will be fumigated today.
As at the time of filing this report, it is not
yet clear if the suspected Ebola victim was
still in the University Health Centre because
another report has it that she has been
moved to the Obafemi Awolowo University
Teaching Hospital, some minutes drive
away from the University campus.
The University Management is yet to make
any official declaration on the case. If the
report is true, this will be the first Ebola
case reported in The State of Osun

TOPIC:NOT A COINCIDENCE

MEMORISE
There are many devices in a
man's heart; nevertheless the
counsel of the LORD, that shall
stand.Proverbs 19:21

READ ^{1 Samuel 25:32-35}
32 And David said to Abigail,
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel,
which sent thee this day to meet
me:
33 And blessed be thy advice, and
blessed be thou, which hast kept
me this day from coming to shed
blood, and from avenging myself
with mine own hand.
34 For in very deed, as the LORD
God of Israel liveth, which hath
kept me back from hurting thee,
except thou hadst hasted and
come to meet me, surely there had
not been left unto Nabal by the
morning light any that pisseth
against the wall.
35 So David received of her hand
that which she had brought him,
and said unto her, Go up in peace
to thine house; see, I have
hearkened to thy voice, and have
accepted thy person.



MESSAGE
God uses human agents to bring to
pass what he had planned before
the foundation of the world. The
meeting between Abigail and David
was no accident; God arranged it.
David was wise enough to
recognise this. You will make a lot
of progress in life if you take note
of the fact that no meeting with
any person is a coincidence. In
Exodus 2:5-10 , Pharaoh’s daughter
went to bathe in the river at about
the same time that Moses was
placed on it. It is easy for a casual
observer to see this as a mere
coincidence, but it was God at work
in the affairs of men. God planned
it because He wanted Moses to be
trained in the house of Pharaoh.
Fortunately, Pharaoh’s daughter
had no child. If she had children,
she would have seen adopting
Moses as an extra burden. Also, in
1 Samuel 17:22-23 , we have the
story of David and Goliath. David
arrived at the battlefield at the very
moment Goliath showed up to
boast as he used to. As it were, the
one meant to die met the one who
would kill him. This was arranged
by God. In 1 Kings 19:15-21 , Elisha
was busy doing his work when
Elijah came passing by. God also
arranged this meeting. Through
this meeting, their lives were
radically transformed.
From time to time, God uses some
people to open doors for you and
He uses some others to close
doors against you. Revelation 3:7
says,
“And to the angel of the church
in Philadelphia write; These
things saith he that is holy, he
that is true, he that hath the key
of David, he that openeth, and no
man shutteth; and shutteth, and
no man openeth;”
In the case of Nabal and David,
David did not even ask God
whether he should go and attack
Nabal or not. He was so angry that
even if God spoke, he would not
have heard. God sent Abigail to
close the door of revenge against
him. This is why you must always
ensure you are on the side of God.
As long as you are on His side, you
have the assurance every door shut
against you is not good enough for
what God is preparing to give you.
Through patience, you must also
learn to recognise that everyone in
your life has been assigned to play
one role or the other to bring
about the actualisation of the plan
and purpose of God for your life.
Whatever represents Nabal in your
life, and whatever stands like
Goliath on your road to fame, all
have their different roles to play.
Just ensure you are on the Lord’s
side and you can be sure of the day

TOPIC:SUCCESSFUL BY ACHIEVEMENTS

MEMORISE:
Let them shout for joy, and be
glad, that favour my righteous
cause: yea, let them say
continually, Let the LORD be
magnified, which hath pleasure
in the prosperity of his servant.
Psalm 35:27


READ:Joshua 1:7-9
7 Only be thou strong and very
courageous, that thou mayest observe to
do according to all the law, which Moses
my servant commanded thee: turn not from
it to the right hand or to the left, that thou
mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out
of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that is
written therein: for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt
have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong
and of a good courage; be not afraid,
neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy
God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.


MESSAGE
One of the utmost desires of
believers and unbelievers alike is to
record outstanding achievements
in life. Ministers of the gospel,
businessmen and women,
politicians, civil servants,
entrepreneurs, students,
government officials and people
from all spheres of life pray for
success. To be successful means to
prosper in a chosen cause. It is
similar to being the head and not
the tail. Success and excellence go
hand in hand. I want you to realise
that you can be successful. God
takes delight in you being
successful. No matter how much
failure you have recorded in the
past, you can still be highly
successful. Every sinner you see
today has a future, and every saint
you see has a past. The Lord is
able to change your name from
failure to success.
God plays a prominent role in the
achievement of success by
everyone. There is no amount of
human labour that will suffice if
God is not involved. This is why you
need to put your total strength in
Him. Never run ahead of Him.
Follow his promises steadfastly and
you will have a reason to rejoice at
the end of the day. There are many
people who are waiting for God to
take them to the river and to also
put water in their mouth. God has
not designed us to be useless;
therefore, we all have a role to play
in determining the degree of
success we achieve. Determination
on the part of individuals cannot
be separated from the achievement
of success. It is determination that
will keep you on the right track.
Challenges are bound to be on
your way, but through the
instrumentality of determination,
you will be able to forge ahead
amidst distractions. With
determination, you can cross any
“Red Sea”, subdue mountains and
achieve impossible feats. When you
are determined, you will record
outstanding successes where many
have failed. A fully determined man
will weather all storms, experience
fruitfulness during famine and
even remain at the cutting edge of
prosperity during an economic
crunch. The plan of God for your
life is success. Until you are
successful, you cannot become a
channel of blessing to others
around you. Failure is alien to the
plan and promises of God for your
life. Therefore, I command failure
upon every device of the enemy
designed to destroy your success,
in Jesus’ Name. Diligence is a
lifestyle of successful people. It is
what separates leaders from
followers, the rich from the poor
and successful people from failures

BIBLE IN A YEAR
Joshua 7:1-8:29
Job 34:31-35:8

There is no one who can go far
on the ladder of success without
dedication and hard work.

TOPIC:THE BLESSED LIFE

MEMORIZE
Beloved, I wish above all things
that thou mayest prosper and be
in health, even as thy soul
prospereth.
3 John 2

READ
Isaiah 45:1-3
1 Thus saith the LORD to his
anointed, to Cyrus, whose right
hand I have holden, to subdue
nations before him; and I will
loose the loins of kings, to open
before him the two leaved gates;
and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before thee, and make
the crooked places straight: I will
break in pieces the gates of brass,
and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give thee the treasures
of darkness, and hidden riches of
secret places, that thou mayest
know that I, the LORD, which call
thee by thy name, am the God of
Israel.

MESSAGE

There is a divine purpose for
sending you to Earth. It is this plan
and purpose that will connect you
to the blueprint of God in your life.
Until this purpose is discovered,
you may wander through life
without any sense of fulfilment. A
lot of people pass through the
world like an ant: unnoticed and
unknown. This is because they fail
to understand the plan and
programme of God for them. The
master plan for your life is in the
hands of God. It spells out phase
by phase what is expected of you
at every given time. This is what
gives you clear direction and focus
on what to do and what not to do.
It gives clear-cut direction on what
can make your life a blessing
indeed. To have a blessed life
means prosperity, excellence and
extra-ordinary breakthroughs.
Abraham is a true example of what
a blessed life is. His life reveals
what it means to be a blessing. He
became a blessing because He
discovered God’s purpose for his
life and pursued it (Genesis 12:1-3)
. The moment your life becomes an
instrument of blessing other lives,
there is no way you will not record
outstanding success.
It is clear to all and sundry that
Jesus lived a blessed life. He came
to the world and died on the cross
for the salvation of humanity.
Today, you and I are called
children of God because of that
sacrifice. There is no one who can
enjoy a blessed life while living a
double-standard life. You cannot
be a channel of blessing if your life
is not right with God. You need to
be reconciled to your Maker. You
need to be at peace with God
before you can begin to taste His
wonderful grace. Having a blessed
life implies a life that is totally
surrendered to the Lord Jesus
Christ. The life of Jesus is a blessing
because through His Name, the
sick are healed, the barren become
fruitful, deliverance is given to the
captives and innumerable miracles
happen on a daily basis.
The steps of living in the realm of a
blessed life revolve around having
the mind of Christ. With the mind
of Christ, you will be able to make
a positive and lasting change in the
world. You must embrace a life of
humility. True humility and the fear
of the Lord lead to riches, honour
and long life (Proverbs 22:4) .
Humility is a virtue that is expected
to be seen in a life that wants to be
blessed. When you are humble,
you achieve greater feats. Jesus
became obedient unto death. To
have a blessed life, you must be
willing to die daily; this means your
self-will is subjected to the will of
the Master on a daily basis.

THE WRONG KINGDOM

MEMORISE
When Jesus therefore perceived
that they would come and take
him by force, to make him a
king, he departed again into a
mountain himself alone.
John 6:15

READ
John 6:11-15
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and
when he had given thanks, he
distributed to the disciples, and the
disciples to them that were set
down; and likewise of the fishes as
much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said
unto his disciples, Gather up the
fragments that remain, that
nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them
together, and filled twelve baskets
with the fragments of the five
barley loaves, which remained over
and above unto them that had
eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had
seen the miracle that Jesus did,
said, This is of a truth that prophet
that should come into the world.
15 When Jesus therefore perceived
that they would come and take him
by force, to make him a king, he
departed again into a mountain
himself alone.

MESSAGE

Jesus drew large crowds in the
days of His ministry here on earth
because of the signs and wonders
He performed. This led those
following Him to decide that He
should be made king over Israel.
Considering the fame and
popularity Jesus had, in addition to
the prophecies recorded in the
Bible about the coming King, it
seemed normal and suitable that
He should be revered and
honoured among the people.
However, Jesus was not interested
in the kingdom of this world;
neither did He have interest in
gaining glory, honour or fame. He
was only concerned with seeking
His Father’s glory and doing His
will (John 4:34) .
There seems to be a misconception
about the term “kingdom of God”.
The kingdom of God as defined by
the Lord Jesus was quite different
from the understanding of the
people of His days. It was lack of
understanding that made them
attempt to crown Him king by force,
thinking that according to various
biblical prophecies, He was called
to sit upon the physical throne of
David. This misconception
continues among some Christians
today.
Out of the multitude of references
to the kingdom of God in the Bible,
let us consider these three in
order to gain some understanding.
John 3:3c says:
“Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Salvation is the first step a person
must take before they can have
access to all the goodies of the
kingdom of God. I welcome you to
the family of God as you take the
step of salvation today in Jesus’
Name. Then Matthew 6:33a says:
“But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness;…”
It is important to note that seeking
the kingdom of God as a first
priority is important to God. Your
personal needs and challenges
must not be placed above the
kingdom. And finally, Romans
14:17 says:
“For the kingdom of God is not
meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and
joy in the Holy Ghost.”
Many Christians live their lives as if
the kingdom of God is all about fun
and entertainment. The kingdom of
God is a process that starts with
righteousness, followed by peace,
and then comes joy in the Holy
Ghost. It’s a wonderful experience.

TOPIC:FREEDOM

MEMORISE:
And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32

READ:
John 8:31-36
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews
which believed on him, If ye
continue in my word, then are ye
my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be
Abraham's seed, and were never in
bondage to any man: how sayest
thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of
sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in
the house for ever: but the Son
abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make
you free, ye shall be free indeed.

MESSAGE:

Freedom is generally defined as the
power of self-determination
attributable to the will. It is the
power to act, speak or think as you
want without hindrance, constraint
or restriction. However, the
freedom that Jesus promised is
freedom in which a man is set free
from the power of the devil, sin,
sickness, poverty and failure. It is a
freedom that is the possession of
born-again children of God who
have been liberated through the
blood of Christ. It is a freedom that
doesn’t rule out obedience to the
commandments of God and
submission to the will of God. This
freedom is a freedom of choice: a
choice to submit to Jesus and
follow Him all the days of our lives;
a choice to live a holy and
righteous life, and a choice to
reject the devil, his demonic
activities and their influences in
our lives.
There are lots of misconceptions
about the freedom that Jesus
promised His followers. It is
definitely not an invitation to
lawlessness and self-will as some
Christians suppose. The freedom
Jesus promised comes through
strict obedience to the word of God
and its conditions. Jesus says, if
you continue in His word, you will
come face to face with the truth,
and the truth in the word of God
will then set you free (John
8:31-32) . This passage was written
for believers. Anyone that is yet to
believe and trust in the Lord Jesus
may find this principle of freedom
promised by our Lord Jesus very
difficult to understand. This
freedom comes as a natural
response to the grace of God; it is
not a system that forces anyone to
live in any particular way. The
submission and commitment of
Christians to Jesus is simply out of
love and appreciation for what God
did for us. However, anyone who
claims to be a Christian, and yet
finds it difficult to accept the
freedom offered by our Lord Jesus
Christ with thanksgiving, is only a
pretender. James 1:25 says:
“But whoso looketh into the
perfect law of liberty, and
continueth therein, he being not
a forgetful hearer, but a doer of
the work, this man shall be
blessed in his deed.”
This concept of freedom is not easy
to understand. It offers us freedom
from religious systems, the devil,
sin, unrighteousness, self and
demonic powers. The Spirit guides
us and leads us to make required
sacrifices, but these sacrifices are
for our own gain. We strive to
make these sacrifices consciously
and willingly out of love and
appreciation for the salvation of
our soul. This is the freedom of the
Spirit offered by Jesus Christ to
anyone who wants to be free from
the devil and his works.

MESSAGE


Two peculiar perils that confront
Christian Leadership are
discouragement and undue elation.
A spiritual leader is in peril of
being unduly depressed by
inevitable times of discouragement
and being unduly elated by
inevitable times of uplifting
experiences and achievements.
Both of these seasons are
experienced in every work of God.
It is important for a spiritual leader
to be watchful in seasons when
everything goes well, when goals
are reached, when planned
endeavours are crowned with
success, when the Spirit moves,
souls are saved and saints are
blessed. At such times, a mature
leader should know on whose brow
to place the crown of
achievements. He should be
careful not to arrogate to himself
the glory that belongs to God
alone. There are also moments of
discouragement. These are seasons
when everything seems not to be
going well, when goals are
frustrated, when planned
endeavours flop, when the Spirit
refuses to move and worship
services seem insipid and lifeless.
At such times, a leader needs
encouragement. He should
however be careful not to
misbehave. Someone summed up
what should be the attitude of a
wise leader at moments of elation
and discouragement in these
cryptic words: “If successful, do not
crow; if defeated, do not croak”.
Everyone needs encouragement.
Everyone needs assistance.
Everyone needs comfort. Everyone
needs the prayers of others.
Apostle Paul knew this truth when
he requested in Ephesians 6:18-19
that brethren should pray for him.
Are you a source of encouragement
or an instrument of
discouragement to your leader?
There are several ways Christians
can encourage their leaders. One is
by obedience. Obey your leader.
Make his work easy, enjoyable and
interesting for him. Demonstrate
that you love him. Be his friend.
“Ye are my friends, if ye do
whatsoever I command you.”
John 15:14
Another way to encourage your
leader is through voluntary service.
Render assistance to your leader.
Do whatever you can to boost his
ministry and ensure that it
flourishes. Use your talents, gifts
and material resources for the
furtherance of the work entrusted
into the hand of your leader. Be
sacrificial in your service. The
dispensing of encouragement
should however be reciprocal. Just
as subordinates are expected to
encourage their leaders, leaders
should also encourage their
subordinates. Our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ in Luke 8:2-3
was encouraged by Mary
Magdalene and some other women
who ministered to him out of their
resources. However, before these
women could minister to Him,
Jesus had encouraged them by his
own ministration of salvation,
healing and deliverance.
Additionally, a spiritual leader is a
father, and fathers are enjoined in
the scriptures not to provoke or
frustrate their children (Ephesians
6:4) . Do not deny them their rights
and privileges.

PRAYER POINT
Father, help me to be an
encourager.

READ:
2 Chronicles 16:7-9

7 And at that time Hanani the seer
came to Asa king of Judah, and said
unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied
on the LORD thy God, therefore is
the host of the king of Syria
escaped out of thine hand.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the
Lubims a huge host, with very

because thou didst rely on the
LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.
9 For the eyes of the LORD run to
and fro throughout the whole
earth, to show himself strong in
the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou
hast done foolishly: therefore from
henceforth thou shalt have wars.


MESSAGE:

There was a king in the land of
Judah called Asa, the son of Abijah
(Judah comprised of two out of the
twelve tribes of Israel). He reigned over Judah for forty-one years. He
had a good record and was highly
commended for the many
wonderful things he achieved for
the Lord during his tenure. The
Bible in 2 Chronicles 14:2-3 says:
“And Asa did that which was good
and right in the eyes of the LORD
his God: For he took away the
altars of the strange gods, and
the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the
groves:”
The above passage reveals the
good works of King Asa as highly commendable, especially because
at that time, Israel was in a state of apostasy. He knew the laws of God
and had zeal for the things of God.
He hated evil and anything that
represented evil. This he exhibited
by taking away the strange altars,
breaking down contrary images
and cutting down the groves. What
more can anyone expect from King
Asa but continued commitment to God. Because of king Asa’s obedience, God showed Himself
strong on behalf of Judah during
his reign. God fought against their
enemies and sent several prophets
to the King to encourage him, give
him direction, and warn him of
impending dangers. However, in
the thirty-sixth year of King Asa’s reign, Baasha the King of Israel
took up arms against Judah his
brother and Asa was sore afraid.
He was so afraid that he forgot the
great battles the Lord had won for
him in the past. Out of fear and confusion, he negotiated with
Syria, giving them the treasures of
the House of God as a reward for
their assistance. This is where King.Asa committed a foolish mistake. I
pray that you will not be blind to
anything capable of destroying you,
your family or your future in Jesus’
Name.
The agreement King Asa had with
Benhadad, king of Syria, appeared
to be highly rewarding at first
because it resulted in King Baasha retreating to his domain. But God
said by so doing, Asa had acted
foolishly. Always remember that
the eyes of the Lord are running to
and fro throughout the whole
world to show Himself strong on
behalf of anyone whose heart is
perfect towards Him. Do not look at your circumstance, look unto
God for survival, sustenance,
support and blessings, and you will
never be disappointed in Jesus’
Name.

months come with evil foreboding. What no
one can deny, however, is the fact that
road mishaps, banks and internet frauds,
armed robbery and other criminal activities
are usually in the ascendancy during this
period which also serves as annual
convention and thanksgiving season for
most faith-based organizations (FBOs).
Experts’ explanation for the high rate of
crime and accidents recorded during this
period has to do with the frenzy and
obsession to end the year on a note of
grandeur and financially well-oiled
celebration(s). In the bid to catch up with
the Joneses, like the Americans would say,
every Tom, Dick and Harry resort to both
legitimate and illegitimate sources of
generating additional income in readiness
for the spending spree that usually
characterize this period of the year.
While swindlers and scammers throw their
spanners to work with a view to defrauding
as many victims as possible, women of easy
virtues also see this period as a season of
boom for their sinful and dehumanizing
trade. Sadden still, our commercial drivers
usually throw caution to the wind,
overloading their vehicles and speeding
with reckless abandon all in a bid to
increase the number of trips in a day and
rake in extra money during this period. The
unfortunate outcome is usually increase in
road mishaps and needless loss of human
lives.
These warped mindsets and extreme
approaches to the ember months are
unfortunate and condemnable. We view
this period as one of stocktaking and
evaluation than anything else. It ought,
rightly, to be a season of looking back to
see how far one has fared vis-à-vis the
targets one has set for the fading year.
And, on the basis of such retrospective
evaluation, what becomes expedient is
some level of restrategizing to ensure that
the set goals are achieved before the year
winds up. This, certainly, can be done
without recourse to criminality or
illegitimacy.
We find it curious that many wait for the
ember months to set in before they embark
on an avoid rush and frenzy to get so many
things done. Like they say in Africa, why
wait for the war before embarking on arms
acquisition? This is a cut and dried case of
planlessness that is avoidable in the first
place. We, therefore, call on individuals and
even organisastions to resort to meticulous
planning as well as set feasible goals at the
dawn of every year as antidote to the
needless fire-brigade approach to the end-
of-year seasons.
Since prevention, they say, is better than
cure, the onus is on the security agencies,
particularly the Police to ensure adequate
security and a crime-free society during
this period; the Federal Road Safety
Commission (FRSC) to evolve strategies that
would reduce to the barest minimum
incidents of road mishap and so on.
Deltans and, by extension, Nigerians
should realize that security is a collective
responsibility. They should, therefore,
collaborate with security agencies by
volunteering useful information that would
aid their operations and, more importantly,
strive to live within the confines of the law
throughout this season and beyond
HOW time flies! Today marks the beginning
of the quartet of September, October,
November and December – otherwise
known as the ember months. These are the
crowning or capping months of every
calendar year.
Rightly or wrongly, many believe that these
are fast-paced months. Some,
superstitiously, believe that the ember
months come with evil foreboding. What no

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Memorise:John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto
them, saying, I am the light of
the world: he that followeth me
shall not walk in darkness, but
shall have the light of life.

Bible in one year:
John 12:20-14:14
Job 32: 1-14

Read:John1:4-9
4 In him was life; and the life was
the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it
not.
6 There was a man sent from God,
whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to
bear witness of the Light, that all
men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was
sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which
lighteth every man that cometh
into the world.

Message
Darkness is the partial or total
absence of light. It is a place of
confusion, secrecy or mystery.
Darkness stands for lack of
spiritual or intellectual
enlightenment, and represents
wickedness or evil. Children of God
must have nothing to do with
darkness. Moreover, light is the
natural agent that stimulates sight
and makes things visible. Light is a
source of illumination and it
represents a condition of special
awareness. It liberates and gives
direction. Light reveals. Every true
child of God must seek to have the
light of God – Jesus is the light of
God. Jesus declared in John 8:12
that: “I am the light of the world,
he that follows me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of
life”. He was actually making a very
important statement that has its
roots in the spiritual realm. Light
and darkness both have physical
manifestations, but they have their
roots in the spirit realm. The book
of Genesis opened with darkness
upon the face of the deep, and the
first thing God did was to replace
the darkness with light by the
power of His Word. The work of
creation could not proceed until
there was light.
Jesus used the concept of
“following the light” to minister to
the Jews because it was a concept
they could relate with. When God
brought them out of Egypt, he led
them through the wilderness with a
pillar of fire by night so that they
could travel far whenever the need
arose (Exodus 13:21) . Jesus used
this to clearly illustrate that he
alone can offer security,
illumination and meaning in this
dark world we live in. Jesus as the
Light of the world offers life,
revelation, grace, peace,
understanding and spiritual
awakening to those who are lost in
the dark. I pray that everyone who
is confused or lost in the darkness
of this world will receive
illumination and the revelation of
the Lord Jesus today, in Jesus’
Name. The Bible while talking
about the brevity of time in John
12:35-36 says:
“Then Jesus said unto them, Yet
a little while is the light with
you. Walk while ye have the
light, lest darkness come upon
uyou: for he that walketh in
darkness knoweth not whither
he goeth. While ye have light,
believe in the light, that ye may
be the children of light. These
things spake Jesus, and departed,
and did hide himself from
them.”
Therefore, time waits for no man;
tomorrow may be too late. Today is
the day of salvation; come to the
light of Jesus today.

Prayer Point:
Father, You are the light of the
world. Let the light of your
gospel shine in every heart,
community and nation, in Jesus’
Name.

THEME : PURPOSE

Memorise:

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Ephesians 1:11

Read: Romans 8:28-31

28 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.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : JOHN 10:22-12:19 and JOB 31:29-40

Message

Purpose is commonly defined as the reason for which something is done, or why something exists. It is therefore correct to say that the purpose of a product can only be determined by the creator and maker of that product. God is the Creator and Maker of the Heavens, the Earth, and all that is in them, according to Genesis 1:1. In Genesis 1:27, the Bible says that God created man in His own image and He made them male and female. Therefore, God is the only one who is in a position to speak authoritatively on the purpose for which a person exists.

The Bible is very clear on the fact that God created man for fellowship. The created cannot by any means fellowship with the creator as equals. We are to fellowship with God in holy worship, in absolute reverence and fear, and in total submission to the will of God. This fellowship is so important to God that when it got broken because of the sin of Adam and Eve, He paid the ultimate price of His Son’s sacrifice in order to reconcile us to Himself. This is why 1 Peter 2:9 says:
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
God’s highest purpose for you is revealed in this passage as being “to show forth the praises of God who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light”. We are therefore primarily made as agents of worship to glorify God our maker. May you live up to God’s expectations of His glory being made manifest in every area of your life, in Jesus’ Name.

However, many 21st century Christians have erroneously redefined the purpose of existence to mean the same thing as personal ambitions and goals. They are busy working hard in pursuit of ephemeral personal agendas, believing that they are fulfilling the purpose of God. May you not labour in vain. The Bible says that “we are predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things after the counsel of his own will”. This means that no one can determine his purpose in life by himself because it has been predetermined before the creation of the world and therefore not open to choice. The purpose of every human being in this world is to glorify God.

Prayer Point:

Father, please don’t let me misunderstand the purpose of my existence. Let my life glorify you my Lord and my King in Jesus’ Name.
