THEME: MINISTERS OF LIGHT


MEMORISE: The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. Matthew 4:16


READ: Matthew 5:14-16
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.


MESSAGE
Light is powerful. It drives away darkness and reveals whatever is hidden. In John 9:5, Jesus said, "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world John 1:4-5 also says, "In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not" These Scriptures confirm that Jesus is the Light. However, in Matthew 5:14, the same Jesus said to His disciples, Ye are the light of the world... " God cannot lie (Numbers 23:19): hence, if Jesus says His disciples are the light of this world, if you are His disciple, then you are light. James 1:17 tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from God, who is the Father of lights. If our Father is the Light, then His children must be light. God expects you to shine, and in today's Bible reading, He commands you to let your light shine so that men will see your good works and give glory to Him.

As a child of God, you are a minister of light, and this means that you must shine. God has called you an able minister of the new covenant (2 Corinthians 3:6); therefore, your life must reveal God's glory and grace. In John 14:12, Jesus said that those who believe in Him will do the works He did and even surpass them by doing greater works.
When the light of God shines in a place, impossibilities become possible. We can see this in the life of Jesus Christ; wherever He went, miracles, healings, and deliverance happened in abundance. In John 9:1-7, He gave sight to a man who was born blind.

Likewise, in John 5:1-9, He healed a man who had an infirmity for 38 years. He also healed some lepers in Luke 17:11-19, as well as a man who was possessed by a legion of demons (Mark 5:1-20). The Bible says in Matthew 4:23-25 that Jesus' fame spread throughout Syria because of the great miracles He was performing. People saw Him as the Light and were willing to follow Him wherever He went.

Beloved, as a child of God, light is your identity, and this light must shine so brightly that it eliminates every form of darkness around you. I pray that the light of God in you will never become hidden, in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT
Father, please help me to walk in the fullness of my identity as light, in Jesus' name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: I Samuel 17:18


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 7: I AM THINE O LORD
1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Refrain
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

THEME: TAKE CARE OF YOUR HUSBAND


MEMORISE: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Colossians 3:18


READ: Ephesians 5:22-24
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.


MESSAGE
In today's Bible reading, wives are instructed to submit to their own husbands in everything. Part of this submission entails helping them to fulfil their God-given assignment and taking care of their needs.

Wives are helpmeets (Genesis 2:18-22) and are required to cater to their husbands' spiritual, nutritional, and emotional needs. Wives can care for their husbands spiritually by always praying for them. A good wife should also cater to her husband's nutritional needs. It is not good for a man to be hungry and not be fed. Matthew 21:18-19 tells us that when Jesus was hungry, and He didn't find food on a fig tree, He cursed the tree.
An African proverb says a hungry man is an angry man. If you don't feed your husband, you will always have an angry man at home.

Wives should also pay attention to their husbands' sexual and emotional needs. Surprisingly, some wives move from one prayer mountain to another in search of a divine intervention that will make their husbands love them more than ever before, yet they neglect their husbands' needs. If a woman honors her husband and sees to it that she caters to his spiritual, nutritional, and sexual needs, all other things being equal, she will not need to be jumping from one prayer mountain to the other to seek his love.
When a husband's needs are well catered to by his wife, all other things being equal, he will love and bless her from the bottom of his heart (Proverbs 31 :28).
If you are a wife, taking care of your husband is a God-given assignment; when you do it well, it will open doors of blessings to you.

Some wives are very respectful towards their bosses at work and pastors in church but disrespect their husbands. Such actions do not please God. Today's memory verse states that wives should submit to their husbands in a way that is fitting unto the Lord. This means that there is a kind of 'submission' that is not fitting unto the Lord. When a wife submits to her husband in one area and hides other things from him because of her selfish ambitions and desires, it is not fitting unto the Lord. Men generally have big egos, and a wife's total submission to her husband caters to his emotional needs and makes him feel valued. When a wife refuses to submit to her husband, she is invariably saying that she doesn't value him, and this is so terrible that it can cause her husband to develop low self-esteem.


KEY POINT
Wives should submit to their own husbands and take care of their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

THEME: TAKE CARE OF YOUR WIFE


MEMORISE: Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Colossians 3:19


READ: Ephesians 5:25-29
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:


MESSAGE
One of the most important tasks for a husband is to take care of his wife because God has given her to him to nurture and protect her. Today's Bible reading encourages husbands to love their wives just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. One of the ways a husband can show his wife that he loves her is by showering her with his attention and affection. If a husband loves his wife, he will not starve her sexually or neglect her needs.

In today's memory verse, the Bible urges husbands to love their wives and not be bitter against them. This means that some situations will arise that will tempt husbands to become bitter against their wives. However, they must not fall for such temptations.

After some men have gotten married, they stop being intentional about their relationships with their wives. One of the ways a husband can take care of his wife is to keep the romance alive in their relationship. He should always tell her that he loves her, buy her gifts regularly, shower her with compliments privately and publicly, and thank her for the things she does for him. Isaac carried the same blessing as his father, Abraham, and was also a successful businessman. Yet, in Genesis 26:8, we read about him being romantic with his wife: ...Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looked out at a window, saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.

It is important for husbands to know that they must treat their wives well. If a husband is not treating his wife well, his prayers can become hindered. 1 Peter 3:7 says, "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered" If a husband takes care of his wife and makes her happy, it will also do him good. When a wife is happy with her husband, she will support him, and this can push him to achieve his goals faster. However, when the one who should be supporting her husband is not happy with him because he is neglecting or hurting her, his prayers will be hindered. A wise husband takes good care of his wife so he can obtain favor from God and live a blessed and peaceful life.


KEY POINT
Husbands should be intentional about giving their wives attention and showering them with affection.

7. Father, I receive the grace to obey You completely, even when obedience is costly. Let my obedience open the door for blessings that will affect generations after me, in Jesus' name.

8. Lord, I commit to serving You with all my heart. As I serve, bless my bread and my water, take sickness away from me, and let Your favor rest upon my life, in Jesus' name.

9. Father, for everyone reading this, let them not settle for ordinary blessings. Let them press into the kind of relationship with You that attracts the extraordinary, sworn blessings of God, in Jesus' name.

THEME: BLESSINGS DONT COME CHEAP


MEMORISE: And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. Exodus 23:25


READ: Genesis 22:1-18
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.

4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,

16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

MESSAGE
Ephesians 1:3 tells us that we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; however, walking in those blessings doesn't come cheap. God's blessings are invaluable; for instance, the blessing that He pronounced over Abraham in today's Bible reading is still in effect today. Christians, Muslims, Jews, and people from all cultures and nationalities partake in Abraham's blessing because blessings go root- deep. You must note, however, that Abraham's blessing didn't come cheap; he was willing to sacrifice his only son to God in complete obedience to His will. God's blessings are available, but as I always say, in God's kingdom, nothing goes for nothing.

When Isaac wanted to bless Esau in Genesis 27:1-4, he asked him to go hunting and prepare a special meal for him with his catch. He wanted Esau to do something special for him to provoke the kind of blessing that nobody can reverse. While Esau went hunting in the field for a deer, his mother and brother got busy, preparing what Isaac loved. Both sons had to work hard in one way or the other with the aim of receiving their father's blessing.

When God called Abram and asked him to leave his father's house, He pronounced some blessings on him (Genesis 12:1-3). However, those blessings were little compared to the blessing in today's Bible reading, where God swore by Himself. This is the highest form of blessing that anybody can receive from God, and Abraham did something to provoke it. You can position yourself before God in such a way that will make Him go over and beyond to bless you and your seed.

Years ago, I was at an airport with two heavy bags, and two of my spiritual children approached me. The one who got to me first merely greeted me, while the second not only greeted me but also collected my bags. I greeted both of them and said, "God bless you" to the one who collected my bags. The other one who only greeted me asked why I didn't bless him too, and I asked him what he had done for me that would have made me bless him. If the fig tree in Mark 11:12-14 had produced fruit to relieve Jesus of His hunger, it would have received a blessing, not a curse.

Beloved, when you bear fruit for God by serving Him and pleasing Him in all you do, you will receive wonderful blessings that will surpass your imaginations from Him.


KEY POINT
Serving God wholeheartedly and pleasing Him attracts His blessings.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 8-12


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1 When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2 Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey.

3 But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey.

4 Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey.

1. Father, I thank You for being my refuge and strength. Thank You for the promise that in quietness and confidence, I find strength in You, in Jesus' name.

2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have reacted in fear, anxiety, or aggression instead of trusting quietly in You to fight my battles, in Jesus' name.

4. Lord, like the quiet mother duck, give me the grace to trust You completely when I am wronged, knowing that You will fight for me when I commit my cause into Your hands, in Jesus' name.

THEME: IN QUIETNESS AND CONFIDENCE


MEMORISE: For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. Isaiah 30:15


READ: Psalms 112:1-9
1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.


MESSAGE
When you encounter people who take all kinds of attacks without reacting, even when they have the ability to fight back and win, you must be careful not to offend them. Such people are meek, and when they commit their attackers to God, it is better for the attackers to apologize and seek to resolve the issue immediately. This is because the God who can heal and deliver can also kill and destroy. When God is fighting on someone's behalf, everyone who is against that fellow will be unable to handle the consequences.

A mother eagle once sent one of her eaglets to hunt for food. On its hunt, the eaglet saw a mother duck with her ducklings, grabbed one of them and took it to its mother.
On returning to their nest, the mother eagle asked the eaglet about what the mother duck did when it took her duckling, and the eaglet said that she just looked at him and did nothing. Surprised, the mother eagle asked, "It didn't fight or make a fuss?" "No," the eaglet responded. Immediately, the mother eagle told the eaglet to return the duckling and hunt for another prey. The eaglet returned the duckling, and the mother duck looked on without reacting. Thereafter, the eaglet saw a mother hen with her chicks and grabbed one of them. When the eaglet took the chick home, its mother asked how the mother hen reacted. "She was furious and reacted fiercely," the eaglet replied. Then, the mother eagle said that they could now eat. When they finished eating, the eaglet asked its mother why she asked it to return the duckling to the quiet mother duck and why they ate the chick of the fierce mother hen. The mother eagle replied, "The hen has done all it can by shouting; however, the duck who didn't fight back has handed you over to God, and the sky isn't big enough for us to hide from God."

Beloved, keeping calm in the face of negative situations and quietly trusting in God is a strategy for living victoriously. In Psalm 46:10, God instructs you to be still and know that He is God. When you refuse to feel threatened by the devil's antics and quietly put your confidence in God and not your abilities, you will experience God's mighty power that will cause a turnaround in whatever negative circumstance you might be facing. Never give in to fear, trust quietly in God.


KEY POINT
The best strategy to overcome negative situations is to ask God for help, trust Him, and remain calm as you await His intervention.

THEME: YOUR WORDS ARE POWERFUL


MEMORISE: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21


READ: Acts 5:1-11
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

MESSAGE
Today's memory verse tells us that death and life are in the power of the tongue. Psalm 107:20 also tells us that God sent His word, and His word healed and delivered the Israelites from their destruction. Words can heal and deliver; however, as we see in today's Bible reading, they can also kill and destroy. Ananias and Sapphira died instantly after hearing the words that Peter, God's servant, spoke to them.
There is mighty power in the spoken word of God. God's word is so powerful that the Bible says it is living and active (Hebrews 4:12). When this living word mixes with the living faith of a child of God, there is no limit to the miracles that can happen.

Several years ago, a man, who was seriously sick, came to the RCCG Headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos. He had hypertension and a host of other ailments. As the Sunday School session started, the teacher said, "Today, we are going to study the crossing of the Red Sea. We are going to see the power of the One who can cause the sea to freeze.
We are going to see the power of the One who can ask every storm to fall asleep." On hearing that, the man knew immediately that God had sent the word for his healing to him specifically through the mouth of the Sunday School teacher. He thought to himself, "Ah, my day has come!"
He was so sure about it that he started crying for joy. Somehow, he knew that the Sunday School session was not just going to be about discussing the story of the Red Sea; he knew it was the set time for his healing. Before the Sunday School lesson ended, he was healed! His living faith mixed with the living word of God to produce his healing.

When you want to know a believer who has faith in God's word, you will hear it in his or her words. When others keep confessing negatively because of the negative situations surrounding them, he or she will keep declaring and believing God's word. When people say that there is a casting down because of unpleasant experiences, the fellow will boldly declare that there is a lifting up Job 22:29). Soon, the believer's reality will start aligning with his or her confession.

Beloved, speak God's word over the situations in your life with faith. Your words become powerful to heal and deliver when they are spoken in faith.


REFLECTION
Have you been speaking faith-filled words of life or faithless words of death?

THEME: ROOTED IN BLESSINGS


MEMORISE: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Genesis 12:2


READ: Genesis 28:10-22
10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.

11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.

19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:

22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.


MESSAGE
Yesterday, I mentioned that curses attack roots. Similarly, divine blessings also go root-deep. For example, in Genesis 22:16-18, God blessed Abraham and said, "Through your seed shall the whole earth be blessed." Two generations later, after Jacob deceived his father into blessing him, God appeared to him in a dream and said, "I am the God of your fathers, Abraham and Isaac." That statement clearly implies that the blessing over Abraham and Isaac had flown through Jacob's roots to him. In other words, Jacob had been blessed even before his birth.

Beloved, the next time someone tells you, 'God bless you, do not take it for granted. Someone once came to me and said, "Daddy, pray for me," and I replied, "God bless you." After saying this, he refused to go because he still wanted to tell me about his problem. He didn't understand the magnitude of what l said when I told him, God bless you.' Nowadays, people have turned 'God bless you' into a greeting; however, when it comes from someone with the God-given authority to bless you, you don't need any other blessing. God has given fathers the authority to bless, so when your father blesses you because he is pleased with you, it goes root-deep. In Genesis 27:1-4, Isaac told Esau to go hunting and prepare him a special meal. There was food in the house, but he was setting Esau up for a special kind of blessing. When Jacob came in with the special meal just the way his father wanted it, Isaac was deceived. He ate the meal and pronounced the blessing on Jacob.

When he discovered that he had made a mistake, he told Esau that he had blessed Jacob and that nothing could be done to reverse it. Esau was devastated and pleaded for a little blessing. The 'little' blessing he got still produced massive results in his life because years later, as Jacob returned home and was told that Esau was on his way to meet him, Jacob, who had the lion's share of the blessing, began to tremble. God had blessed his brother, who had the little portion of the blessing, so much that he had four hundred bodyguards around him!

Child of God, seek to live a life that pleases your heavenly Father and attracts His blessings. Today, I decree in the name that is above every other name, "God bless you."


PRAYER POINT
Father, please help me to live a life that attracts Your overflowing blessings.
