THEME: HELP IS ON THE WAY!


MEMORISE: Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take up their names into my lips. Psalm 16:4


READ: Exodus 20:1-5
1 And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

MESSAGE
Sometime in 1980, there was a woman in RCCG who was trusting God for the fruit of the womb.
Although we all prayed for the woman as a church, my wife and I took it upon ourselves to pray for her regularly on our family altar. Shortly after, she informed us that she was pregnant. On hearing the good news, we were really happy for her. We were dancing and singing praises to God on her behalf when she told us, "Somebody advised me to look elsewhere for a solution to my childlessness." She continued, "The people I went to for a solution also used the Bible. However, they also performed some traditional rituals and asked me to participate in certain rituals as well. Look at the result now; I am pregnant." This happened over four decades ago, yet the last time l heard of her, she was still pregnant.

There was another woman who also desperately wanted a child. She got tired of waiting on God, so she sought fetish means to find a solution to her problem. Shortly after, she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy.
After she had her baby, she told those who were still waiting on the Lord, "You better take action and get a solution to your problem like I did, instead of wasting your time praying. "When the woman's son was about six years old, he went into her room one day, stripped himself naked, and said, "Let's have sex." The mother was shocked and asked him, "What did you say?" The boy responded, "I said I want to have sex with you." The perplexed mother then took him to a deliverance minister. During the deliverance session, the boy said, "Don't waste your time; I am not possessed. I am a demon incarnate."

Beloved, do not seek any kind of help outside God. Those who seek other gods and alternatives to God will eventually end up in sorrow. Today's memory verse says that the sorrow of those who seek after other gods shall be multiplied. Those who seek help apart from God always pay dearly for it because the devil has nothing free to give. I implore you today to continue to tarry in God's presence. Put your complete trust in Him because His help is on the way, and He will never disappoint you (Hebrews 10:35-38). I pray that the Lord will continue to uphold you and strengthen your faith in Him, in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT
Father, please help me to wait patiently on You for Your help at all times.

Faultless to stand before the throne.

MEMORISE: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23

READ: Mark 5:35-43
35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.


MESSAGE
Many years ago, I was visiting one of our parishes abroad, and when I landed at the airport, one of the pastors who usually came to welcome me anytime I visited the country was not there. When I asked about him, I was told that he was dying in a hospital. I asked if we could stop at the hospital on our way from the airport, and I was taken there immediately. In that hospital, they had a special room where people with 'hopeless' cases were kept.

Once a patient was moved to that room, it meant that the fellow would likely not survive whatever ailment he or she had, and this was where the pastor was kept. He had cancer, and the doctors' reports were not good at all. I prayed for him and commanded the spirit of death to take its hands off him. I didn't pray for the other patients in the room because, in that country, you can be arrested for praying for a sick person when the fellow has not given his or her consent. After praying for the pastor, I left the hospital immediately. About three days later, he was completely healed and was discharged. It wasn't my doing; rather, it was God who backed up my word with so much power. I learnt later that on the day he was discharged, every other person in the room was discharged as well. Imagine what could have happened if I had heard the sad report concerning him and just sympathized with him instead of declaring the word of God over him.

Child of God, you might not know the great miracles you are hindering if you refuse to speak God's word to unfavorable situations. You must realize that you are not ordinary and your words carry power because you are a child of God. When you encounter a mountain in the way of your progress, speak to it in the name of Jesus, and it will obey you (Mark 11:23).

Revelation 1:6 says that you are a king, and Ecclesiastes 8:4 says that where the word of a king is, there is power. This means that whenever you speak, power shows up.
Doubt is one of the major things that can stop power from showing up when you speak.

Beloved, don't keep quiet in the face of negative situations; speak God's word over them in faith, and they will turn around completely for good, in Jesus' name.


KEY POINT
When children of God speak God's word in faith, God's power shows up on the scene.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 1-3


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE
1. In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

3. There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

THEME: WORD OF POWER I


MEMORISE: When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: Matthew 8:16


READ: Mark 5:2-15
2And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand; ) and were choked in the sea.

14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.


MESSAGE
Hebrews 4:12 tells us that the word of God is living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. In today's Bible reading, Jesus spoke a word to a man who was possessed by a legion of demons, and immediately, the demons left him. In Acts 16:16-18 , Paul did likewise. When a girl who was possessed with a spirit of divination kept following him, he commanded the demon to come out of her in the name of Jesus, and it obeyed. Your words can also carry power when they are backed up by the word of the Almighty God.

If you are a true disciple of Jesus Christ, demons will recognize who you are and be afraid of you because they know that you have the power to cast them out. In Acts 19:13-17, the seven sons of Sceva saw a demon- possessed man, and they commanded the demon to leave him in the name of Jesus whom Paul preached. The demon knew that they had no relationship with Jesus, so it disobeyed and attacked them. The devil knows that Jesus is the Light and that He has also made His children light. This is why he will obey you if you are a true disciple of Jesus Christ.

A young man once attended a meeting and returned home loaded with demons. His case was so bad that he couldn't stand or sit; he could only lie on the floor. When he was brought to the church, I said, "I command you to kneel because I want to pray for you." With a fiery look, he responded, "I can't go on my knees." I repeated my command, and he asked, "In whose name?" I replied, In the name of Jesus." He obeyed immediately, and I prayed for him. Then, I said, "Stand up," and he asked again, "In whose name?" I replied, "In the name of Jesus." He then stood up immediately. Thereafter, I told him, "Go now. You are free in the name of Jesus." He left, and that was the end of his problem.

Beloved, if you are a child of God, your words will be backed by the power in His word. When you tell a problem to leave in the name of Jesus, it has no choice but to obey you. Be conscious of the power in God's word, exercise your authority in it by speaking it boldly in the face of challenges and oppositions, and you will always emerge victorious.


KEY POINT
God's word is powerful in the mouths of His children.

MEMORISE: Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.
Ecclesiastes 9:8


READ: Mark 6:53-56
53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,

55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.


MESSAGE
Every part of the life and being of a Christian who is totally surrendered to God is a potent weapon in God's hands. For example, just as we see in today's Bible reading, clothes that are worn by people who have submitted their lives and all to God can become conductors of God's power.

Jesus' garment was full of power; the sick touched the hem of His garment and were made whole, as we see in today's Bible reading. In Acts 19:11-12, God performed special miracles through Paul, such that aprons and handkerchiefs that he had worn were taken to the sick, and they received their healing. Paul was not even among the first twelve apostles; he was a persecutor of the gospel of Jesus Christ until he was saved. However, after his conversion, God performed special miracles through him.

God is a miracle worker, but He is looking for vessels -men and women -who will believe Him so that He can release His power on the earth through them. Child of God, your heavenly Father wants His power to flow through you so He can establish His Kingdom wherever you are. However, before your garment (which signifies your life) can become a conductor of God's power, your internal garment has to be pure. Today's memory verse tells us that our garments should always be white. This has nothing to do with always wearing white clothes; instead, it has everything to do with the heart. If a fellow's heart is not surrendered to the Lord and is full of greed, that person's garment cannot carry God's power.

Gehazi could have carried a double portion of Elisha's anointing, but greed made him lose what could have been his spiritual inheritance (2 Kings 5:20-27). Judas could have been the one through whom God healed the man at the Beautiful Gate in Acts 3:1-11. God could have performed mighty miracles through him, just as He did with the other apostles, but greed made him end his life shamefully (Matthew 27:3-5).

Beloved, God wants you to be a conduit of His power like Peter and Paul. However, you cannot reveal His power when you are not surrendered to Him. If you are yet to surrender totally to God, I implore you to do so today so you can be a carrier of His power. I pray that the Lord will clothe you with His garment and make you a conductor of His power, in Jesus' name.


KEY POINT
If you surrender your life completely to God, He will make you a conduit of His power.

THEME: THERE IS POWER IN YOUR HANDS


MEMORISE: They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Mark 16:18


READ: Mark 1:40-45
40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.


MESSAGE
In today's Bible reading, a leper came to Jesus, saying, "I know that if You want to, You can make me clean." In those days, leprosy was deemed incurable; however, when the man encountered Jesus, he was immediately cleansed. In Acts 3:1-11, Peter and John saw a man who had been born lame, and Peter said to him, ...in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." When the lame man didn't rise to his feet, Peter took him by his right hand and lifted him up. Immediately, the power of God flowed through Peter's hands into the lame man's bones, and he jumped up.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father.
John 14:12
In the Scripture above, Jesus said that anyone who believes in Him will do greater works than the ones He did while He was on earth. If you are a child of God, you must know that your heavenly Father has anointed you with His power. This means that your hands are not ordinary– they have become God's channel of healing, deliverance, and restoration.

Jesus Christ has paid the price for pains and sicknesses, and that is why He said in Mark 16:17-18: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils... they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." This means that if you are a true child of God and you lay hands on the sick, they will recover. When you lay your hands upon them, God's power will flow through your hands to heal them. I decree that from now on, when you touch the sick, they will be healed.

I usually tell Christians who are doctors, "Before you administer medications to your patients, obtain their permission to lay hands on them, then pray for them." I also tell them, "You will encounter situations where there will be nothing more you can do for your patients medically. At those times, hand their cases over to the One who said, ‘1 am the Lord that healeth thee.’

Beloved, if you are a child of God, your hands are powerful because they have been anointed by God. Therefore, exercise your faith in Him by laying hands on the sick for their healing, and you will begin to see special miracles happen through you.


KEY POINT
The hands of Christians are not ordinary; they are God's channel of healing, deliverance, and restoration.

THEME: MINISTERS OF LIGHT II

MEMORISE: Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. Isaiah 8:18


READ: Mark 16:17-20
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.


MESSAGE
It is important for Christians to walk in signs and wonders if we are to win the world to Jesus. In John 4:48, Jesus said that some people will not believe the gospel unless they see signs and wonders. As a minister of light, you are God's instrument for revealing His signs and wonders to the world, and He has already empowered you to perform miracles.

God seeks to perform special miracles through all His children, just as He did with Paul (Acts 19:11-12). If you are His child, He wants you to lay hands on the sick for them to recover. Some Christians doubt that the sick will recover if they lay their hands on them, and as a result, they don't lay hands on the sick. God didn't say that you should lay hands on the sick and cause them to recover; all He wants is for you to lay hands on the sick, and He will make sure that they recover. All you have to do is obey Him and leave the rest to Him. When you lay your hands on the sick, His power at work in you will flow through your hands to ensure that they recover.

To become God's instrument for revealing His signs and wonders, faith is important. Those who obey Jesus' commandments in faith always get the results that Jesus said they would get. As a young minister, when I read that l could lay my hands on the sick and they would recover, I started doing so secretly in my house. Whenever my children told me that they had a headache, I would take them to my room where nobody could see us, lay my hands on them, and say, "In the name of Jesus, headache, go!" However, I would also ensure that there was medicine for headaches at hand. At that time, my faith was little, but God always meets His children at their levels of faith. After praying in that manner, many times, they would become well in less than five minutes. Today, I can lay my hands on anyone when they are sick because I know that Jesus will not fail.

Beloved, God calls you the light of the world (Matthew 5:14), and He cannot lie. Therefore, be bold in your capacity as light and begin to shine forth. I pray that henceforth, God's glory and wonders will shine more than ever before in your life, in Jesus' name.


KEY POINT
The key to walking in signs and wonders is exercising your faith in God.
