Prayer Points

1. Father, I thank You for destroying the power of death through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thank You that death no longer has the final say over my life, my family, or my destiny, in Jesus' name.

2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have allowed the fear of death or the appearance of dead situations to overwhelm my faith in Your power to bring life, in Jesus' name.

3. Father, just as You raised the widow's only son at the gate of Nain, I command every dead situation in my life—dead dreams, dead finances, dead marriages, dead ministries—to hear the voice of the Resurrection and Life and come alive, in Jesus' name.

4. Lord, like Lazarus who was dead for four days and already decomposing, I speak to every situation that seems too far gone, too hopeless, and too irreversible. By the law of resurrection and life, override every law of death and decay, in Jesus' name.

5. Father, turn my mourning into joy. Let every situation that has made me an object of pity become a cause for celebration and a testimony of Your power, in Jesus' name.

6. Lord, I pray for everyone reading this who has experienced the death of a loved one, the death of a vision, or the death of a hope. Let the Resurrection and Life visit them today and turn their sorrow into dancing, in Jesus' name.

7. Father, nullify every verdict of death pronounced over my body, my business, or my family. Let the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus make me free from the law of sin and death, in Jesus' name.

8. Lord, I receive the power to speak life into dead bones, dead relationships, and dead opportunities. Let Your resurrection power flow through my words and my faith, in Jesus' name.

9. Father, for every area where the enemy has caused decay, rotting, and stinking situations, bring restoration, freshness, and newness of life. Let what was dead rise again to Your glory, in Jesus' name.

10. My personal prayer point: (Mention specific dead or dying situations in your life—health, finances, relationships, ministry—that need the reversing power of the Resurrection and Life).

11. Thank You, Father, that the law of death has lost its power because the Resurrection and Life is on the scene. I receive my miracle of resurrection today, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me and wash all my sins away with your precious blood shed at Calvary. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal damnation.

THEME: REVERSING DEATH


MEMORISE: Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of.flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Hebrews 2:14


READ: Luke 7:11-17
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

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.

16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.


MESSAGE
Yesterday, I discussed how God is able to suspend or reverse natural laws to perform miracles. The Almighty God can sometimes override some laws with superior laws. For example, if a magistrate pronounces a person guilty in a magistrates' court, and that person appeals to a high court, a judge can rule that the magistrate erred in his or her judgement and annul it. God is the supreme authority in heaven and on earth, and He can override any natural law, including the law of death.

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
John 11:43-44

In the Scripture above, Lazarus had been buried for four days, and according to the law of death, he must have started to rot and stink. However, Jesus applied a higher law - the law of resurrection and life - to override the law of death and decomposition by saying, "Lazarus, come forth!"
Immediately He gave that command, the one who had been dead for four days came back to life. The Almighty God is able to reverse the power and effect of death.
When a person dies and begins to decompose, that person's blood becomes blackish, and his or her skin begins to decay. For Lazarus to have been raised from the dead, it meant that his decaying flesh and blood, which must have become blackish, had to be restored to their normal states.

The law of resurrection and life overrode the law of death and decomposition. I pray that the law of resurrection and life will overrule and nullify anything death might have set in motion in your life, family, and business, in Jesus' name.

In today's Bible reading, a widow lost her only son to death. She had earlier lost her husband, and now, her only son lay lifeless and was about to be buried. She was in a sorrowful state, but when the Resurrection and the Life appeared on the scene, He turned her mourning into joy. She, who must have been an object of pity in the town because of her losses, became a celebrity because of her miracle.
Beloved, I pray for you today that my Daddy will turn every dead situation that has affected your life negatively into a cause for celebration, in Jesus' name.


KEY POINT
The law of death loses its power when the Resurrection and Life is on the scene.

Prayer Points on "REVERSING LAWS"

1. Father, I thank You because You are good and Your mercy endures forever. Thank You for being the God who created all laws and can suspend or reverse them for Your pleasure and my good, in Jesus' name.

2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have murmured, complained, or failed to give thanks, thereby limiting Your power to work miracles in my life, in Jesus' name.

3. Father, just as You suspended the law of gravity for Jesus to walk on water, suspend every natural law working against my progress, health, and destiny. Let me walk on waters that others sink in, in Jesus' name.

4. Lord, like Elisha who reversed the law of floatation, reverse every irreversible situation in my life. Let what was lost be found; let what sank rise again; let what was dead come back to life, in Jesus' name.

5. Father, in the name of Jesus, let the law of multiplication override every law of reduction in my finances, resources, time, and opportunities. Let me give out and still have more than enough, in Jesus' name.

6. Lord, I thank You for every miracle of multiplication in the Bible—the loaves and fishes, the oil of the widow, the flour in the barrel. Let the same power of thanksgiving work for me, in Jesus' name.

7. Father, I command every law that is working against Your purpose for my life—whether physical, financial, medical, or spiritual—to be suspended now by the power of the Almighty God, in Jesus' name.

8. Lord, deliver me from the spirit of murmuring and ingratitude. Help me to be like Jesus, who gave thanks before the multiplication. Let my thanksgiving open the door for supernatural intervention, in Jesus' name.

9. Father, for everyone reading this who is facing an irreversible situation—an incurable disease, a dead business, a closed womb, a broken destiny—reverse the laws that hold them captive and give them a testimony, in Jesus' name.

10. My personal prayer point: (Mention specific laws or natural principles that seem to be working against you—aging, scarcity, failure, sickness—and ask God to reverse them).

11. Thank You, Father, for the power of thanksgiving. I will praise You in every situation, and You will reverse every law for my sake, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me and wash all my sins away with your precious blood shed at Calvary. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal damnation.

THEME: REVERSING LAWS


MEMORISE: O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever. Psalm 118:1


READ: Matthew 14:22-32
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.


MESSAGE
God made laws to control nature and the universe. However, these laws, along with every other thing that was created, were also made for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11). Whenever He wants, He can suspend the laws or reverse them to performa miracle.
In today's Bible reading, Jesus persuaded His disciples to get into a ship and cross the sea to the other side while He went to a mountaintop to pray. By the time He came down from the mountain, the ship was already in the midst of the sea. Jesus then decided to suspend the law of gravity and walk on water to join His disciples. He didn't cancel the law; He only suspended it for a moment.

In 2 Kings 6:1-7, the sons of the prophets were cutting down wood by River Jordan, and the iron axe-head that one of them was using fell into the river and sank. Immediately, the man cried to Elisha, telling him that the axe-head was borrowed. Elisha then cut a piece of wood and threw it into the river. The wood that was supposed to float sank, and the iron axe-head floated to the surface. The Almighty God reversed the law of floatation just to perform a miracle.

Likewise, in John 6:1-14, Jesus reversed the natural principle that causes things to reduce when you take out of them because He wanted to perform a miracle. When He gave His disciples the five loaves of bread and two fishes to share with the multitude, naturally speaking, the meal was meant to reduce as it was being distributed. However, because He had raised them in thanksgiving to the Father, the loaves and fishes multiplied as they were being handed out to the people.

Beloved, thanksgiving is a very powerful weapon that can cause God to suspend natural laws or reverse them on your behalf while also positioning you for tremendous multiplication. When Jesus gave thanks in John 6:11, the law of multiplication overruled the law of reduction. While grumblers and complainers experience destruction because of their murmurings (1 Corinthians 10:10), you shall experience multiplication and glorification if you engage in constant thanksgiving (Jeremiah 30:19). If you want God to suspend or reverse laws for your sake,I encourage you today to remember all that He has done and appreciate Him joyfully. I pray that the Lord will send help to you from above and reverse every law that is working against His purpose for your life, in Jesus' name.

11. Thank You, Father, for the promise of restoration. I receive my second chance today, and I will not waste it, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

MEMORISE: That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. Deuteronomy 30:3


READ: John 21:15-19
15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.


MESSAGE
It is popularly said that an opportunity lost can never be regained. However, this can only be true when God decides to be silent about such opportunities. The moment God gets involved, lost opportunities can be regained.

In the 1960s, I was a games master at a school called Okeigbo/lfetedo Grammar School. The school received an invitation to participate in a competition in Akure, one of the state capitals in Western Nigeria, and I got talking with the host school's games master during the competition.
Sometime later, I was admitted into the University of Lagos for my Master's degree, and I applied to the Federal Government for a scholarship. When a year passed without a response from the Federal Government, I assumed that I didn't get the scholarship, and I continued paying the fees myself. One day, while walking on the university campus, I saw the games master I had met in Akure over a year earlier. We got talking again, and he told me that he was now working with the Federal Ministry of Education. Then I said to him, "| applied for a scholarship with your ministry, and I did not get any response." He then told me that he remembered my application because I was the only one who applied for a postgraduate scholarship in mathematics. He said it was a unanimous decision to grant me the scholarship, and that the interview would have been a formality. To cut the story short, he said that he would see what he could do about it, and we parted ways. Two weeks later, I got a letter from the Federal Ministry of Education granting me a full scholarship that was backdated to the day I started my Master's programme. I decree that any good opportunity that you thought had been lost forever will be restored by the Almighty God, in Jesus' name.

In Matthew 26:69-75, Peter had the opportunity to stand for Christ; however, he lost it when he denied the Lord thrice. He was so heartbroken that he decided to return to fishing John 21:3). However, Jesus stepped in and gave him another opportunity, as we see in today's Bible reading. After the Lord's intervention, the same man, who denied Jesus three times, boldly faced the rulers who killed the Lord and told them that he would not stop speaking about Him (Acts 4:8-13).

Beloved, have you lost valuable opportunities in the past? Ask God for mercy, and He will restore you and help you regain such opportunities.


PRAYER POINT
Father, please give me a second chance and restore every good opportunity I have lost, in Jesus' name.

MEMORISE: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he remove th kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: Daniel 2:21


READ: Joshua 10:1-14
1 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

2 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.

3 Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.

6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.

8 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.

10 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.


MESSAGE
God controls times and seasons, as we see in today's memory verse. As I mentioned yesterday, He is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending (Revelation 1:8 ). This means that He is in charge of the past, present, and future. If He wants, He can stop time like He did in today's Bible reading, where He stopped the sun from setting. God is Almighty, and He can reverse the effect of time on a person or situation.

Many years ago, as I approached my 60th birthday, I became concerned that I was growing old, and it seemed like I was still very far from completing the assignment that God had given me. My children were really excited as they wanted to celebrate my 60th birthday with me; however, I was groaning and crying to God in prayers. I still remember the spot where I was, around 2am one morning, praying and asking Him for help. I told Him that I still had so much to do, and the sun seemed to be setting on my life already. God responded, saying, "Son, I decide when the sun sets." Those words completely put my heart at rest. As you are reading this, I pray that the Lord will prove Himself mighty in your life. In lsaiah 38:1-8, Prophet lsaiah told King Hezekiah that God would heal him and add 15 years to his time on earth. He also told him that God would give him a sign to prove this to him:

Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial us of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
Isaiah 38:8

Beloved, God can bring something from your past into your present. He can bring an opportunity that you think you have lost forever back to you. In Genesis 18:9-14, when God said to Abraham, "Tell your wife that she will have a son," Sarah laughed. She laughed because it was humanly impossible for a woman of her age to conceive a child. However, God rebuked her and made her realize that He can restore what seems to be gone forever. I pray for you today that God will reverse time for your sake, and every good opportunity that seems to have been lost forever will be restored to you, in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT
Father, please reverse time for my sake and restore all the good opportunities that I have lost, in Jesus' name.

4. Lord, just as You commanded Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones, I speak to every dead, dry, and hopeless area of my life—my health, finances, marriage, career, and destiny. Hear the word of the Lord and come alive, in Jesus' name.

5. Father, let breath from the four winds enter into every dead dream, dead vision, and dead hope in my life. Let them rise up as an exceeding great army, in Jesus' name.

11. Thank You, Father, for being the God who reverses the irreversible. I receive my testimony today, and I will glorify Your name forever, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me and wash all my sins away with your precious blood shed at Calvary. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal damnation.

THEME: REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE


MEMORISE: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1


READ: Ezekiel 37:1-10
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.


MESSAGE
God has many attributes. He is called the Almighty (Genesis 17:1), which means that He has all might and power and can do all things. In Jeremiah 32:27, He is called the God of all flesh to whom nothing is too difficult. Isaiah 40:28 tells us that He is the Everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. Psalm 115:3 says that our God is in the heavens and does as He pleases. In Revelation 1:8, He is called Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. He is also called the One who was, is, and is to come. This means that in Him, the past, the present, and the future come together. He is the Almighty who reverses the irreversible.

A man once had problems with one of his kidneys and was spending N200,000 weekly on dialysis. For a kidney problem like his, the best solution doctors can proffer is a kidney transplant if they can find a suitable donor. Even with such transplants, success is not guaranteed. The man was sitting somewhere in the congregation during one of our services when the Lord said, "Receive your healing." Instantly, he became healed. This is what only the Almighty God can do; He can reverse what men have deemed hopeless. I don't know of any medication that can change an SS blood genotype to AA, but I have heard many testimonies of the Almighty God doing this. He alone can reverse the irreversible. As we read in today's Bible reading, He can make dry bones live again. He alone can turn a completely hopeless situation around for the better.

The story of the dry bones in today's Bible reading also reveals the kind of people who will experience such miracles. The dry bones were completely helpless, but I have discovered, in my little walk with God, that He delights in helping the helpless. My God is the helper of the helpless; He is called the Ever-present Help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).

Beloved, if you are currently in a situation that seems hopeless, turn to God like David did and say, My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:2). He will step into your situation and help you. I pray that God will reverse any situation that people have considered to be completely hopeless in your life. He will glorify Himself in such situations and give you a wonderful testimony, in Jesus' name.

MEMORISE: | know that whatsoever doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doe th it, that men should fear before him. Ecclesiastes 3:14


READ: John 5:1-14

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

MESSAGE

One of my spiritual sons, who is from a very wealthy home, had cancer of the jawbone. He had access to the best doctors in Europe, but after they had treated him for a while, they told his parents to take him back home to Nigeria because he had just two weeks to live. His parents were devastated. When they arrived in Nigeria, they decided to bring him to Redemption City, and my faith was shaken when I saw him. The boy had trouble eating because of his illness; his head was terribly swollen, and it usually took him about an hour to finish a bottle of soft drink. I pulled myself together, prayed for him as is expected of a pastor, and God healed him. This happened 43 years ago, and to the glory of God, he is still alive today, married with children. God gave him a testimony that is still valid today. I pray that God will give you a permanent miracle, in Jesus' name.

One of the most amazing things that happens when God visits a man is that He brings permanent solutions. Mark 10:46-52 tells the story of a blind man named Bartimaeus. When he was told that Jesus was coming, he knew he would never beg again. That was why he threw his garment - the symbol of his shame, darkness, and blindness- away. I am sure that the moment he received his sight, he never begged again - his testimony was permanent. Some people have had miracles and lost them. Some have received something precious from God but have lost it out of carelessness. In the name that is above every other name, the testimony God will give you will last forever.

Beloved, the only way the miracles and testimonies you receive from God will be permanent is when you flee sin.
Today's Bible reading tells us the story of a man who had been sick for 38 years; Jesus healed him, and he was happy. However, when Jesus saw him again, He warned him not to engage in sin anymore because if he did, something worse could happen to him. When someone who has been delivered by God from the path of destruction jumps back into sin, the devil can torment and torture that fellow as he pleases. If you have gone back into sin, return to Jesus today and ask Him to save you. He will graciously restore you when you return to Him wholeheartedly.

Showers of blessing,

Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

3 There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honor Thy Word.
