A MEAL WTH A DIFFERENCE

MEMORISE:
And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. 1 Kings 19:8

READ:
1 Kings 19:1-8

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalm 56-62 & Micah 3:1-4:5

MESSAGE:
In John 21:1-13, we have an amazing account of Jesus inviting His disciples to come and dine of a meal He had already prepared. The Lord Jesus Christ loves good food and He prepares the best of dishes in the whole universe. To catch a glimpse of how those meals in Heaven will be, just take a look at the bread and wine that is used during the Holy Communion. By the time the Lord takes them over and they are transformed into spiritual food, the elements of these erstwhile ordinary items will begin to do what no ordinary meal can do in the life of those who partake of it. In today’s Bible reading, after the mass slaughter of the prophets of Baal, Jezebel sought to kill Elijah. He therefore fled for his life until he was so exhausted that he lay down under a juniper tree and slept off. Then two heaven-baked meals were set before him and he ate them. What was the result? 1 Kings 19:8 says,
“And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.”
That meal provided him physical sustenance to the extent that his body survived without food and water for 40 days and nights! Medical science will tell you that it is impossible to live without water for three weeks; But Elijah did this after he took the heaven-baked bread! Also, that meal revived him spiritually. The same person who was contemplating suicide was now able to ascend the mountain of God. Depression was completely gone away from him!
Do you know that the Holy Communion, which assumes a spiritual dimension after the Greatest Cook touches its elements, is capable of taking care of various sickness and diseases? Through it, you can be delivered from every power of darkness that is holding you bound! Your debtors can be compelled to pay you what they owe you! By this Heavenly meal, you can break the yoke of besetting sins and live righteously before God. Through it, various impossible situations can be made possible. How often have you availed yourself of the limitless opportunities provided by the Holy Communion? How often do you attend a meeting where it is served? When you attend such meetings, do you release your faith along with your requests, or do you withhold your faith? From today, take steps to enjoy the heavenly baked meal that is the Holy Communion.

ACTION POINT:
Never take the Holy Communion without prayerfully connecting it with a definite, specific request to God.

HYMN 5:
1. The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus.

Refrain:
Sweetest note in seraph song,
Sweetest Name on mortal tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.

2. Your many sins are all forgiv’n,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;
Go on your way in peace to heav’n,
And wear a crown with Jesus.
[Refrain]

3. All glory to the dying Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Saviour’s Name,
I love the Name of Jesus.
[Refrain]

4. His Name dispels my guilt and fear,
No other name but Jesus;
Oh, how my soul delights to hear
The charming Name of Jesus.

Have replied your email.

Kudos to you man, God bless you.

Tell them ma'am........ great piece

Courage.... Indeed Nice one sis

analize701:
Sorry about this. I just went back to check where i have seen the Julivas's moniker and it's not indicated if it's male of female. I general thought it was a female moniker.

Alright ma, you are welcome.

analize701:
Sis, is Julivas a male? The moniker reads Female.

I'm sorry for the pain this is causing you. My dear coining into this forum you ought to have settled down and observe your brethren back home. Nigerians take pride is stealing from those who trust them. It's very risky trusting a Nigerian.

Pls don't make that mistake again.

Please what do you mean by this ma..... Sis, is Julivas a male? The moniker reads Female.
Thanks.

DESCENT IS OFTEN UNNOTICED

MEMORISE:
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Ecclesiastes 8:11

READ:
Luke 22:1-6

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalm 50-55 & Micah 2

MESSAGE:
To successfully run the Christian race, certain assignments cannot be delegated or carried out without your involvement. In Joshua chapter 7, Joshua delegated the assignment of fighting Ai to some of his men, and at the end of the day, they suffered defeat. Nothing kills like overconfidence! Have you ever wondered if Judas Iscariot was originally a thief? In Luke 6:12-13, the Lord prayed all night before selecting 12 apostles. It is therefore most likely that he did not start out as a thief. However, even if he was originally a thief, nobody gets to the zenith of an evil deed suddenly. It is usually a gradual process. Backsliding is a process and not a sudden event. If you see a brother backslidden to the point of shamelessly going about with wolves, on closer examination, you will discover that he must have been secretly frolicking with sin for a while. He must have tried a sinful act the first time and “gotten away with it”. This would have encouraged him to try a second, third and fourth time. Since he was not caught, he would gradually continue to practice such acts of sin more frequently, until his final descent becomes glaring for all to see.
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Ecclesiastes 8:11
The devil does not usually come with a frontal attack against a child of God. He uses subtle, little issues that one will consider as nothing. Those things the devil says do not matter really matter a lot. When you do not see anything wrong in intimately hugging the opposite sex or touching their bodies at will, know that you have started backsliding. If you take a little money from the church purse in your care unnoticed, you have also started backsliding. If you do not cry to the Lord and ask for His help there and then, and you allow your descent to linger, before long, you will be openly fornicating or even selling Jesus for peanuts without feeling remorse. Examine yourself; how is it with your faith today? Have you backslidden in any way? If you have, run to the cross of Calvary for God to restore you before you get to a point of no return! God still loves you. Respond to His love now!

KEY POINT:
The reason why you don’t often get caught immediately you engage in an evil act is not because you are smart, but because God wants you to speedily retrace your steps and repent.

HYMN 9:
1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it someday for a crown.

2. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
Refrain:

3. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
Refrain:

4. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

OBEDIENCE MUST BE TOTAL

MEMORISE:
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 1 Samuel 15:23

READ:
1 Samuel 15:16-24

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalm 44-49 & Micah 1

MESSAGE:
In our walk with God, total obedience is the key to success. If you will walk with God, then you must be prepared to obey Him completely. If you decide to obey some instructions, delay your obedience to some or even flout some others, you will definitely have problems with God. If you doubt this, ask King Saul. From His experience, we can see that partial obedience is the same thing as full disobedience before God. Saul was sent on a mission by God with specific instructions which were clearly spelt out to him with these words in 1 Samuel 15:3:
“Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”
But when he got to the point of executing the instructions of God, he obeyed some, ignored some and outright disobeyed some. 1 Samuel 15:9 says,
“But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.”
He ignored and disobeyed some of God’s instructions because he wanted to remain in the good books of his soldier. What was the end result of this act? He was rejected and abandoned on the throne, while God chose a replacement for him. May God never reject you!
A further lesson here is that it’s not everyone rejected by God that He dethrones immediately. After Saul’s rejection, he was still on the throne for years, while God was already relating with David as king. During this period, how did Saul rule over the kingdom? As a lunatic of course! Today, like Saul, many leaders and pastors have been abandoned by God in the position they occupy. Although such people still maintain the status quo, the power to help them succeed is no longer available to them. Never be carried away by anyone occupying any position. It is only God who knows those who are standing and those He has rejected on their thrones! Are you in obedience? Do you obey God completely? Beloved, obey every instruction you are given by God completely, and you can be certain that all will be well with you.

KEY POINT:
Disobedience robs you of the spiritual standing you require to succeed in your walk with God to a place of higher glory.

HYMN 14:
1. Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise.

2. Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3. Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

Blackfyre:
One of the funny things I have come to note since I came in contact with the Most High is this....many many people are IGNORANT....and what often gets me agitated about the whole thing is how they claim to be so knowledgeable and yet they know so LITTLE.....honestly I cannot wait to that day I will have the last laugh....I would so LOVE to see the looks on people faces on the utter disbelief...it will be EPIC....


Speaking of this....i have to learn to cope with this awareness and not get emotional or agitated about it....although it seems unfair really....seeing people make some life blunders....and just acting cool with it at the same time....i mean I must commend God really....he has an impeccable state of self control and patience....seeing all this atrocity going on...and just allowing people make their choices knowing fully well the consequences.....sends shudders down my spine.....luckily for me and for everyone....we all going to stand for our own shiit....so while I laugh at some stuffs some dudes do....i partly don't do it in a mocking way because I know down the line.....you are surely going to regret this shiit.....but in my heart hope...it turns out well for them in the end....

I actually wasn't a sensitive or emotional dude oh..as a matter of fact peeps referred to me as lacking in being able to feel empathy....and I had great impatience for peoples emotion....but man...those high school peeps will be in utter disbelief as to how gentle I am to such peeps now....


Many people don't know it....this life is a battle really...its not really about fun...games...and pleasure seeking....so many trappings abound to make one think so....this life is very very deep and serious business that requires utmost vigilance...i guess if everyone were to come to certain knowledge of somethings...they will probably wear a somber look all the time and perhaps be in a perpetual state of depression....

It was nice to find someone who we sort of have or understood each other based on somethings....i am sort of hopeful I will find a lady at some point who has such views on life and it's issues....in fact I am happy....to find a weirdo of my kind....it feels nice to know I am not the only one of my kind.....we are quite rare tho....not by choice anyways....just so....

Experience breeds wisdom....and I assure you....it comes from the Lord....also I think I am in that phase where I have to manage what I know and not feel impulsive to rectify things because of what I know....its like that adage about the child who saw the butterfly struggling out of the cocoon but thought to help it out and in the end the butterfly refused to fly...because the struggle was necessary for the butterfly so it's wings will be strong enough to fly when it breaks free of its own accord....

The Lord does move in mysterious ways....we should just trust in his timing and his works....boy....it was a relief for me today....i ain't crazy after all.....




I hope contributors dey this thread sha....just found it out....

Thanks for the insight

Julivas, this is not funny o. You need to put up a rebuttal to this. I know you to be a Christian. You have taken over The Christian Chat Box sticky and closed it down with Daily Open Heavens devotional. If the allegations NG is laying here are true, then it's not pleasant at all.

Did you do what she wrote?

Thanks for your concern sir/ma.
The issue shall be resolved amicably, and if not I will definitely come and explain myself.
Once again, thanks.

MsNgo40:
Honestly,
I was gonna keep mute myself....but Julivas you have been very deceptive.
I know people won't understand....but God knows...
Anybody who has read my posts on NL know that I have been brutally honest about who I am, my struggles with character flaws and my desire to serve Christ.
But as I am sincere and honest with people, I expect the same.
I despise fraud....
I hate hypocrisy.
I hate liars.
And that is what i have experienced with u.
Who you portray yourself to be on NL is NOT who u have been portraying to me on Whatsapp.
U are a "staunch" Christian yet never once have u invited me to any Christian group on Whatsapp.
U get gospel songs but lie to me each chance u get....please don't let me go there.
U kept claiming "I love u...." blah blah blah.
U wanted me to get u a laptop....and when i didn't u were through with me.
You looked me up online..and even called out a name you believed to be my blood sister.
I have asked for a pic for over 1 month now...and u claimed u couldn't put one up...yet u kept begging me for more pics (some of which would be inappropriate)...
Hence the reason I created some posts about character....
Was trying to be discreet.
Now I am not....i'm being blunt.
And the guys over in the travel section wonder why i am triple cautious.....
This is not Christlike.....but trying to speak to u privately has not worked.
I know i may be banned...and alienated because of this....
I reallt don't want to leave NL cauae I keep getting "yahoo" or "sakawa" boys....
I know folks will consider me "crazy"...and I apologize to those who are following or have held me in high regard. Perhaps you folks can pray for me....
Because what, folks, u are seeing now is a human being who has once again been deceived...and it hurts.
It's never okay to deceive or mistreat someone deliberately. I come from a different culture..but ad Christians....things should be done so much differently.
Hence the reason so many people become atheists.

Sir, you need to be honest....cause even if people don't know and will never know...
God does....

P.S. For your info sir,
This is why i will NEVER embarass him (u know who)...he's not totally false. I may disagree with him a whole lot, but he is who he is and not phony.
I saw what u did....very sneaky move...but God always brings things to light.

Laughing out loud. ....
Good morning and God bless.
I can understand you ma.

Oyindidi:
Blackfyre, let's talk here. Code whatever you want to say

Why this place to discuss na........lol
Jesus loves you......come and contribute to this tread biko

A 75yrs old man got collapse and was rushed to the hospital he was given an oxygen to sustain him for 24hrs.
after some time he was getting better so the doctor gave him his bill of $500.
When he saw the bill he started crying,
the doctor told him not to cry cos of the bill that he could pay it in instalment.
But the man said " I'M not crying because of the money I can pay you all in cash.
I'm crying because for just 24hrs of using the oxygen am to pay $500. But i have been breathing GOD'S air free for 75yrs now.
If am to pay, do u know how much am owing."

You have been breathing GOD free air without any obstruction nor payment.


Praise ye the Lord. .........
Hallelujah. .....

IS YOUR LIFE A CHANNEL OF BLESSING (GHS 245)
1. Is your life a channel of blessing? Is the love of God flowing thro’ you? Are you telling the lost of the Saviour? Are you ready His service to do?
Make me a channel of blessing today Make me a channel of blessing, I pray; My life possessing, My service blessing, Make me a channel of blessing today.
2. Is your life a channel of blessing? Are you burdened for those that are lost? Have you urged upon those who are straying, The Saviour who died on the cross?
3. Is your life a channel of blessing? Is it daily telling for Him? Have you spoken the word of salvation To those who are dying in sin?
4. We cannot be channel of blessing If our lives are not free from all sin; We will barriers be and a hindrance To those we are trying to win.

CHRIST OUR REST

MEMORISE:
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Isaiah 3:10

READ:
2 Corinthians 1:19-20
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalm 38-43 & Jonah 4

MESSAGE:
There is a time to work and a time for rest. Everyone who labors very hard always looks forward to a time of rest. Rest is so crucial that even God Himself rested after spending six days creating the heavens and the earth. It is therefore not a mistake that God programmed sleep into our body system. He knows that after we have worked hard and are tired, we would need to rest the body in order to get back on our feet. Psalm 127:2 says,
“It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.”
Good sleep is indeed a blessing from God. However, rest for the body is not as important as the rest needed by the soul. If your mind is seriously troubled over an issue, even when you lie down on your bed, you will be unable to sleep. The only place to find rest for your soul is in Christ. No wonder He made a call for you to enter into His rest in Matthew 11:28-30. Have you been worried or troubled lately? Receive rest today in Jesus’ Name!
“Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings”. Isaiah 3:10
One major reason why you as a true believer should be at rest is because of God’s promises. According to our Bible reading, the promises of our God are very reliable. Romans 3:4 says that even if all men are liars, this cannot compel our God to be a liar like them; He will always remain true. Therefore, if He says your tomorrow will be alright, take it as a report card that you are getting even before sitting for the examination. If He said it, He will surely do it. God’s word has integrity. Based on His words that cannot fail, I know my tomorrow will be alright. Irrespective of the raging storm, I will simply rest in Him. Beloved, let Jesus Christ be the One you lean on. Who or what you lean upon in the time of trouble is very important. If you lean on human beings, they will most likely compound your situation because every human being is prone to failure due to so many factors within and outside their control. In contrast, if you lean on human being, they will most likely compound your situation because every human being is prone to failure due to so many factors within and outside their control. In contrast, if you lean on the Eternal Rock of Ages, you can be reassured of true rest, joy and peace.

ACTION POINT
Take every issue that is bothering your soul before the throne of grace today. Ask Jesus, the giver of rest, to give rest to your soul.

HYMN 2:
1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

3. Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

4. Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.

CHRIST OUR REST

MEMORISE:
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Isaiah 3:10

READ:
2 Corinthians 1:19-20
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalm 38-43 & Jonah 4

MESSAGE:
There is a time to work and a time for rest. Everyone who labors very hard always looks forward to a time of rest. Rest is so crucial that even God Himself rested after spending six days creating the heavens and the earth. It is therefore not a mistake that God programmed sleep into our body system. He knows that after we have worked hard and are tired, we would need to rest the body in order to get back on our feet. Psalm 127:2 says,
“It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.”
Good sleep is indeed a blessing from God. However, rest for the body is not as important as the rest needed by the soul. If your mind is seriously troubled over an issue, even when you lie down on your bed, you will be unable to sleep. The only place to find rest for your soul is in Christ.

SEEKING PRE-EMINENCE?

MEMORISE:
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Matthew 23:11

READ:
3 John 1:9-11

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalm 34-37 & Jonah 2-3

MESSAGE:
All those who have accepted God’s call to salvation should be aware that they have equally been called to a life of brokenness. The Christian life is a life that walks in the Spirit, having crucified the flesh with its affection and lusts (Galatians 5:24, Galatians 5:16). The place of brokenness is the place of true service and reflection of Christ. While the fellow who is broken is dead to the flesh, the fellow who is carnal is still very much alive to it. There are certain traits that characterize the life of an unbroken fellow. These traits will be visible in such a life, irrespective of the ecclesiastical position occupied. One of such traits is the desire to be preeminent in all things. Those who always want to outshine others must be extremely careful. It is good to excel, and God wants this for His children, but struggling for pre-eminence within the fold, just to gratify the flesh or feed your ego is a mark of not being broken.
In the early Church, there were people who liked to show that they were in charge, even where there were superiors set over them. Apostle John encountered Diotrephes and he had problems with him because of this trait (3 John 1:9). Those who like to have pre-eminence usually find it difficult to recognise or submit to higher authority. They want to be the ones calling the shots. They may have a superior over them, and yet they will still want to be the ones that people take orders from. They run a parallel government to that of their superiors, and because their power base is illegal, they use lots of manipulation, coercion, intimidation and forming of unhealthy cliques to maintain their power. Such people are involved in every divisive and rebellious scheme being witnessed in the Church and in society today. Those who seek pre-eminence operate through charismatic witchcraft, and they are involved in very subtle mind-control. They want to be recognised and honoured first and above others. Their suggestion must always be taken or else you must be prepared for a fight. If you have these traits in you, you are very carnal and close to Hell’s gates. If you struggle and manipulate your way to gain pre-eminence over others, in Heaven’s records you will be the last or even have no placement there. If you are involved in this manifestation of carnality, beat a retreat today!

ACTION POINT:
Examine your life to see if you have any of the traits of life that seeks pre-eminence. If you do, repent and take corrective action.

HYMN 6:
1. Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.

Refrain:
Oh, deeper yet, I pray,
And higher every day,
And wiser, blessed Lord,
In Thy precious, holy Word.

2. Deeper, deeper, blessed Holy Spirit,
Take me deeper still,
Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus,
And His perfect will.
Refrain:

3. Deeper, deeper! though it cost hard trials,
Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow.
Refrain:

4. Deeper, higher, every day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqu’ror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.
Refrain:

5. Deeper, deeper in the faith of Jesus,
Holy faith and true;
In His pow’r and soul exulting wisdom
Let me peace pursue.
