Memorise: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God. Luke 9:62
Read: Luke 9:57-62
Bible in one year: Leviticus 24-27
Key point: If God has assigned you to a task, that is what He will reward you for. Do it faithfully whether it is easy or difficult.

Apart from parasites and loafers, the Commander-in-chief of the Heavenly army does not like deserters. Once you sign into God's army, there is no looking back. This is why in the armour available for soldiers listed in Ephesians 6:13-17, there is no armour for our backs. This means, the day you turn your back to the enemy, you are finished. It is against the rule of our warfare; for enemies are not supposed to see your back. This also implies there is no room to chicken out. Considering the size, military might and invincible weaponry available to you as a bonafide member of God's army, and God's track record of victories, you have no excuse to throw in the towel. Hence, Luke 9:62 says,
"And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of Cod."
This means, if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord, stay with Him and don't go back to the devil or your past self government.

Memorise: I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. Psalm 7:17
Read: Psalm 71:16-17
Bible in one year: Leviticus 20-23
Prayer point: Ecclesiastes 12:1 says you should remember God now. But if you do so later; He can still use you but you would have cut off a chunk of opportunities that may never be regained.
If you have accepted Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour, you are His virgin. A virgin is pure and undefiled. But being a virgin is not enough. In Esther 2:2, when virgins were to be brought to take part in the beauty contest at Shushan the palace, they were expected to be beautiful. The Holy Spirit must be allowed to beautify your life with His fruit (Galatians 5:22-23). Without this, you will be disqualified even as a virgin. Is your life beautiful? Does it reflect the love of God embedded in the fruit with nine parts?

Besides beauty, another quality that must be met has to do with age. The virgins must be young (Esther 2:2). This means every virgin beyond a certain age was disqualified. True, they are virgins. True they are pure and have not been defiled. Yet, if they failed to meet up with the age requirement, they will not be called to the contest. This teaches us that age has a lot to do with ................................................................................

Memorise:When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Psalm 126:1
Read: Genesis 41:39-44
Bible in one year: Leviticus 17-19
Prayer point: Father, You changed the levels of Esther; David and Joseph suddenly; Lord, make this season my season of sudden promotion.
Another lesson from the story of Esther is how suddenly God can transform an individual. Not long ago, Esther was a young girl but a nobody, then suddenly she won the beauty pageant and emerged queen. After Esther's promotion, the one who was used to receiving instruction became the one issuing out instructions (Esther 4:15-17). God is the true source of promotion and He can promote you slowly quickly or even dramatically. If you receive Jesus into your heart and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, He will suddenly promote you to sit with Him in the heavenly places, and you will begin to rule over the powers of darkness that once dominated you (Ephesians 1:17-23). This promotion is sudden! Also, a little shepherd boy who was very unimportant in his own family, was promoted overnight to become king: this was how David became one of the most famous kings of Israel (1 Samuel 16:11 -13). God can move you from a point of being unknown in your small ................................................................................................

Memorise: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3:5
Read: 1 Timothy 1:11-14
Bible in one year: Leviticus 14-16
Action point: Examine the areas you have gone back on commitment to Christ: Ask for forgiveness and make fresh commitment today.
"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Acts 16:31
The call to salvation is far more than just being saved from sin; it is also a call to commitment. If you recall the day you gave your life to Christ, you would recall that you meant to give Him everything. Based on that commitment if He truly has your life, then He owns your all. Unfortunately, most believers in Christ are guilty of breaking their promise to the Lord. How? They claim to have given their lives to Christ yet they are still in control of their lives. The Lord struggles with no one, He allows you to freely give or hold back from Him anything in your possession. Many have gone back on their word in the area of commitment. Such people can end up in hell for failing to keep their promise to Him. Have you given Christ your life but you are still the one dictating how your life is run? Repent today and return what you have ...................................................................... http://earlydigest..com/2013/04/rccg-open-heavens-devotion-sunday-21st.html

Memorise: The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: Psalm 146:8
Read: 2 Kings 5:20-27
Bible in one year: Leviticus 11-14
Prayer point: Father, open my eyes to see the invisible and my ears to hear the inaudible from today.
The revelational gifts make you spiritually sensitive. When present, they will make you to hear the inaudible and to see the invisible. It is a great thing to be able to see the invisible. In 2 Kings 5:20-27, Elisha sat in his room and suddenly, he saw Gehazi his servant running after Naaman. It was as if he was watching a TV. He saw the boy receiving a lot of money and planning in his heart on how he will start his own ministry and have many servants. When he returned, Elisha asked Gehazi of these things and he denied, but he told him that he saw all that transpired. When you can see into the spirit realm, very little can be hid from you. This gift can also help to reveal what transpired ever before you were born or became relevant in a particular place.
Many years ago, while I was just a worker in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, we were getting prepared for ..............................................................................

Memorise: God forbid, How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:2

Read: Romans 6:1-5
Bible in one year: Leviticus 8-10
Action point: Prayerfully follow up 5 backsliders and lead them back to Christ. Pray that they will not take God's grace for granted.
Just as certain things are peculiar to champions, exchampions also have what is common to them. You will not be an ex-champion, but if you are one, the Lord will restore you to a place of relevance in Jesus name. When we look at the prayer of Samson, an ex-champion, we can learn something from it. The first thing he said was, Remember me Oh Lord! Why was he asking to be remembered? It is because people don't easily remember ex-champions. It is the champion's crown that is revered by many not the one wearing the crown. So if the crown goes, so goes everything the crown attracted. Samson also said, strengthen me. Strength is an invisible force. If you ask any boxer, he will tell you not to judge a man by his size. Why? Until you are left alone with your opponent, you may never realise how strong he is. There are people who are big but without strength, just as there are slim but powerful people. Isaiah 40:28-30 says God gives power to the faint. Philippians 4:13 says you are enabled to do all things by the strength that Jesus supplies. In 1 Kings 18:46, God laid His hand on Elijah and he outran a chariot. This season, the Lord will lay His ...........................................................

Memorise: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Proverbs 4:20
Read: Proverbs 4:20-22
Bible in one year: Leviticus 5-7
Action point: Satan tries to introduce noise at every stage in the spiritual communications process. It is however left for you not to be distracted by it.

To receive your needed miracles, you must hear the Word. Why? Because God's word goes ahead of God's acts. When God was to deliver, heal and restore those who sinned and were afflicted in Psalm 107:17-20, He sent His word. You must check up with the messenger of the word to ascertain whether he or she is sent by God or not. You must also ensure that the word delivered is the same as that which was sent. In the communication process, you have the Encoder which sends a message through a channel and a Decoder which receives the encoded message and deciphers it to get its meaning. It is when a message has gone through this process without any distortion or noise that the expected feedback can be obtained and the communication process deemed to be complete. However, at every stage of the communication chain, noise can be introduced.
When for instance a prophetic word or word of knowledge is released through a genuine servant of God, if the public address system is faulty, noise is introduced and as a result, the message will not be received by the one the divine communication was meant for. If the sound system is distorted or accompanied with unwanted sound, no meaning will be received from the message passed. This is one reason why in all our churches; there is the need to provide ............................................................................................

Memorise: And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Luke 3:9
Read: John 15:1-2
Bible in one year: Leviticus 1-4
Action point: Pray that God will change every loafer or parasite in your local assembly into dedicated soldiers of Christ.
Anyone who wants to be a soldier must be prepared to go through the worst of terrains, and must be prepared to endure all kinds of difficulties that may come his way such as hunger, exposure to extreme weather, hostilities, separation from comforts, family and loved ones, and even be prepared to die on the battle field. Usually, while courting potential recruits, the difficult parts will be withheld and the fellow will be fed with the good sides - cheap or free food, clothing, travel at government expense and respect if not fear from civilians. By the time the recruit signs on, and gets to the barracks, he would be taken through rigorous training. Some may not be able to endure the training so they will leave the army. Similarly, in the army of God, you must be ready to go through serious difficulties and self denials and to face the enemies on a head-on collision course.

Memorise: But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 1 Peter 3:4
Read: 1 Peter 3:1-4
Bible in one Year: 2 Chronicles 10-13
Prayer point: Father, thank You for saving me. Lord, let Your beauty radiate in and through me that it may attract everyone I should attract into Your Kingdom.
Those called to take part in the beauty contest at Shushan the palace during the reign of Ahasuerus were more than just virgins. They were also fair and young.
"Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king." Esther 2:2
In other words, virgins who were not beautiful were naturally exempted from the pageant. This is about what makes them outstanding among virgins, what makes them attractive. It is common for employers in need of fresh university graduates to request graduates with a second class upper grade, yet they will do everything it takes to grab the very few first class graduates. Those with a second class lower grade will be less appealing to them, while those with third class may hardly be considered. This means, by their grades they are sought or ignored. Their grades either make them attractive or repulsive. What is in your life that is making you attractive? It is not enough to be a virgin. You must be a beautiful virgin.

Memorise: I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. Isaiah 45:19
Read: Isaiah 45:17-19
Bible in one year: 2 Chronicles 7-9
Prayer point: Father, I believe You are extremely generous. Please let people begin to see the evidence of Your extreme generosity in my life and family.
God is so generous that He does not mind sharing His kingdom with His favourites. May you be part of those that will co-reign with Jesus eternally. Concerning God's magnanimity, if you check through the Bible, you will see how generous God is. Abraham served God and he was blessed. He was a wealthy man (Genesis 24:34-35). When it was the turn of his son Isaac, God so blessed him that he became the envy of a nation (Genesis 26:12-14). Jacob also was tremendously blessed by God to the extent of having extreme wealth (Genesis 30:43). Three successive generations kept increasing in blessings as they continued to serve God. Do you know that if you obey the scriptures to raise your children in God's ways and they do the same with their own children, God's blessings in your generations will be on an increasing level?

Apart from the family of Abraham, another Bible character that benefited from God's generosity was David. Besides blessing David spiritually and making him a king, God blessed him with great wealth according to 1 Chronicles 22:7,14-16. When it was time to build for God, even when God said ....................................................
