MEMORISE: O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. Psalm 96:9

READ: John 4:23-24
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

MESSAGE
Yesterday, I started a discussion about how important it is for you to recharge your spiritual battery by studying, memorizing, and meditating on the word of God. Today, I'll discuss worship as another way you can recharge your spiritual battery.

Many people allow the choir to do the worshipping for them in church during services. I thank God for all the spirit-filled choristers around the world who lead powerful praise and worship sessions, but they cannot worship God on your behalf. You must learn to worship God yourself. In Ephesians 5:18-19, Apostle Paul says:

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

The above Scripture implies that you should sing very often, even in your conversations with other people. Paul specifically says that you should sing hymns because they are inspired by the Holy Spirit. I thank God for the songs and choruses that we have today, but most of them fade with time. Many hymns, however, have stood the test of time; a lot of them were written hundreds of years ago, but they remain evergreen.

In today's Bible reading, Jesus said that God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth because the Father seeks such people to worship Him. When you are a worshipper, the Holy Spirit will seek you out. Worship means reverencing someone or something. When you worship God, you revere Him; you place Him in the highest position in your life. Everyone on earth is a worshipper; people worship one thing or the other. The way to know what a fellow worships is to check what he or she holds in high esteem. For instance, when people cannot do without checking their phones or scrolling through them, such phones have become objects of worship. When someone can do anything for money, that fellow is worshipping money.

Worship also means submission. You submit to whomever or whatever you worship. When you worship God, you are submitting and surrendering your heart to Him so that He can fill it with His power and glory. When you submit to God, He comes and dwells in you.

Beloved, make singing praises to God and worshipping Him your lifestyle. When you engage in these spiritual acts constantly, He will fill you with His Spirit and keep your spiritual battery charged at all times.

ACTION POINT
Spend some time worshipping God for His greatness, faithfulness, and mercy every day.

MEMORISE: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16


READ: Joshua 1:6-9
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.


MESSAGE
Over the past three days, I discussed the importance of always getting refilled with the anointing. Today and in the next few days, I will discuss ways by which believers can be refilled.

As God's child, you must ensure that your spiritual fervency and passion for the things of God do not reduce. The word of God is a potent tool for recharging your spiritual battery, and this is why you must spend quality time studying, memorizing, and meditating on the Scriptures daily.

Nowadays, many Christians do not memorize Scriptures because everything is now digital. If someone needs to refer to a Bible passage, the fellow can just search for it through Google and other search engines. Once the fellow types a bit of the verse as a search term, immediately, the passage comes up on the screen. While digitization is good, it is important to meditate on Scriptures and know some of them by heart, as this will prepare you to face anything the enemy brings your way. In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus overcame the devil's temptations by quoting Scriptures. There were no search engines at that time, and He didn't need them, He knew God's word by heart because He had meditated on them and memorized them. My Father in the Lord wasn't formally educated, yet he knew a lot of Scriptures by heart. If he could memorize the Scriptures, so can you.

In John 6:63, Jesus said that the words He speaks to us are spirit and life. Therefore, the more of His words you take in, the more spirit-filled you will be. God's word is powerful; it is alive and sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). As you fill yourself with His word, He will show you things, relationships, and places that can quickly drain your spiritual battery and puncture your faith.

One way to know if you are really filled with God's word is to check your conversations. Matthew 12:34 says that it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. If your heart is filled with God's word, your mouth will be filled with His word too. The more you study God's word, the more like Him you will become (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Beloved, become addicted to studying, memorizing and meditating on God's word and you will be spiritually vibrant at all times. I pray that you will never lose your fervency and passion for the things of God, in Jesus' name.

How often do you study, memorize, and meditate on God's word?

MEMORISE:
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” GALATIANS 5:16

READ: GALATIANS 5:13-25
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

MESSAGE:
I will continue this series by discussing one more reason it is very important to get refilled with the anointing.

Sometimes, the reason you need to get refilled is not that you are exhausted or the anointing has been depleted after a period of intense spiritual activity but that your flesh rose above your spirit for a moment.

When you are angry, for instance, you may not hear God speak because your flesh has risen above your spirit. In such a period, you can cause some harm, as Elisha did in 2 Kings 2:23-24.

Therefore, if you have been well-trained by God, the anointing will likely be dormant for that season to avoid causing a problem that you will later regret.

In 2 Kings 3:11-16, some kings came to meet Elisha, and he got angry with one of them. Afterwards, when he needed to prophesy, he had to call a minstrel to play so there could be a refilling. Before long, the man of God could say, "Thus saith the Lord" again.

I have observed that whenever the flesh rises above the spirit, there will be a need to retreat into an atmosphere of worship. In that atmosphere, as the Lord descends on you, He will refill you again.

Another major route through which the flesh rises above the spirit in many ministers is in the area of overconfidence.

Despite Jesus' warning that he would deny Him, Peter felt so confident in himself that instead of praying for spiritual strength to avoid that, he told Jesus that he could never do such a thing, and he eventually denied Him Matthew 26:69-75.

Whenever you start feeling overly confident in your abilities and attributing what you have achieved to your hard work and sacrifices, the enemy is setting you up for a great fall, and you need to retreat and retrace your steps.

"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18

Beloved, whenever your flesh rises above your spirit, run to God and ask for mercy, and He will graciously restore you.

After Jesus' resurrection, He went to Peter's old place of work to refill him. He prepared a meal, fed him, and recommissioned him into the ministry John 21:1-17.

When your flesh rises above your spirit, go on a retreat and receive a fresh infilling of the anointing so that you can overcome the weaknesses of the flesh and fulfil God's purpose for your life.

KEY POINT:
Whenever your flesh rises above your spirit, run to God for a fresh infilling of the anointing.

MEMORIZE:
“And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.” Mark 6:31 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: LUKE 9:1-10

1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;

8 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

MESSAGE:

Yesterday, I started a discussion about the importance of getting refilled with the anointing after moments of intense spiritual exercise. Another time you need to get a refill is when you are exhausted. In (1 Kings 19:5-, when Elijah was tired, having been on the run from Jezebel, he told God to kill him. God said, "No, I don't bury my wounded; I feed them. When they are weary, I refill them." He gave him food to eat, and Elijah ate and fell asleep again. Interestingly, the man who said 'kill me' didn't say ‘I'm not eating.’ God woke him the second time and gave him a second ration. Clearly, what he needed was rest and food to continue the journey. After eating, Elijah went in the strength of that food for forty days and nights. When you refill, you have the capacity and strength to go farther in God.

In today's Bible reading, after the disciples returned from the missionary journey that Jesus sent them on, they gave Him great news about all the things the anointing did. Then, Jesus took them aside to a private place so they could rest. When virtue leaves a fellow, it has an impact on the body; if that fellow does not rest, he or she may become too weak to do more. Jesus knew this, so after performing many miracles, He would retreat to solitary places to refill, as I mentioned yesterday. He could consistently do great works because He always took time out to refill. He said that His followers would do greater works than He did (John 14:12), and this means they must also refill constantly as He did.

If you load a battery into a torch light and use it for one hour, you should allow it to rest for another hour so that it will last much longer, rather than using it continuously. Similarly, if you always take out time to rest appropriately, you will be able to do much more for God.

Beloved, do not think you are indispensable such that you keep using your spiritual battery even when you know that you are exhausted. You might discover the hard way, like Elijah, that there are others who can easily take your place (1 Kings 19:15-16). Find those people now and train them so that they can join you in doing some of the work. Don't always wait until you are exhausted to get refilled, and if you are already exhausted, take a retreat now to get refilled.

KEY POINT:
Ensure that you rest regularly so you can always.

MEMORISE: Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. Mark 14:38


READ: 1 Kings 19:1-4

1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.

2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.


3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.

4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.


MESSAGE

In today's Bible reading, after Elijah had called down fire on Mount Carmel, lots of virtue had gone out of him, and he needed to refill. He had just won a victory, and a revival had started, but he got down from the mountain to discover that Jezebel was as unrepentant as before. However, because the anointing upon Him was now depleted, he couldn't stand to face her, so he fled.

Sometimes, people do mighty things with the anointing, thinking that is all, but not long after they are done, they discover that more things that need the anointing are waiting. A fellow can raise the dead in church, and people will rejoice; however, when that fellow gets home, there may be another problem waiting to be solved with the anointing. This is why it is important to recharge your spiritual batteries as soon as possible every time you use the anointing.

Many pastors host programmes, and when hosting the programmes, they fast and pray. However, the moment the programme is over, they begin to feast and do not allow God to refill them with His anointing. By the following Sunday, people discover that it is not the same fellow who ministered the previous Sunday that is ministering because the anointing had been depleted and had not been refilled. Fasting and all other ways to become filled with the anointing are not to end when programmes end; they are to be a lifestyle. After periods of high spiritual activity where a lot of the anointing is used up, it is important to be refilled to at least the level that you were
before, if not even higher.

Beloved, you must remain vigilant and sensitive at all times because you have an enemy who never takes a break. He always goes around like a roaring lion, seeking whom to devour (1 Peter 5:. Have you just had a great victory? It is not time to let your guard down; it is time to return to the secret place to recharge and refill. It is time to guard your heart with all diligence so you can remain fit and relevant for God's next agenda. The Bible recorded many instances where Jesus retreated to refill. For example, after a major ministration in Mark 1:34, the next verse says that He retreated into a solitary place to pray. He's our perfect model, and we must do the same to remain relevant in God's kingdom.


KEY POINT
After every victory, retreat into God's presence for a refill.

DON'T ALLOW DISCOURAGEMENT

MEMORISE: And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:6

READ: Numbers 11:4-17

4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:

6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.

8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.

11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?

13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.

16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.

17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

MESSAGE

In today's Bible reading, the Israelites were murmuring and weeping, saying, "We want meat; we are tired of eating manna." They had been murmuring consistently for 40 years, and Moses had been coping, but this time around, he told God, "I didn't give birth to these people. Why are You asking me to carry their burden? Kill me because I'm tired of all this." God replied, "Since you say the burden is too much, get me 70 men, and I'll take of the spirit on you and put it on them."

When you think about the fact that the anointing upon Moses was divided by 70, you'll realize that the new Moses was less anointed than the previous one. Because of this, not long after that, in Numbers 20:7-12, the man God Himself described as the meekest man on the earth (Numbers 12:3) erupted in anger. The anointing that had allowed him to cope for 40 years had been depleted due to his words during a time of discouragement. Discouragement can make people say things that would limit them in life and negatively impact their destiny.

Elijah also allowed his words in a time of discouragement to put an abrupt end to his ministry. After calling down fire on Mount Carmel, Jezebel threatened him, and he fled. He became so discouraged as he ran away that he asked God to kill him. Thankfully, God didn't fulfil his wish; instead, He sent an angel to feed him (1 Kings 19:1-. Afterwards, however, He gave him his last assignment to anoint Jehu, Hazael, and Elisha, his replacement (1 Kings 19:15-16). His ministry ended when he allowed discouragement to make him say the wrong things. John the Baptist also got so discouraged that he began to doubt everything he had earlier declared. He had declared concerning Jesus, "Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" John 1:29). Yet, he was the same person who sent his disciples to ask Jesus, "Are you the One to come or should we look for another?" (Luke 7:19-20). Not long after that, he was beheaded (Luke 9:7-9).

Beloved, while you cannot stop discouraging circumstances from happening, you can choose how to respond to them. Like David, you can encourage yourself in the Lord, as seen in today's memory verse. God is able to keep you from falling Jude 1:24). He is also able to give you a mighty turnaround, but you must put your trust in Him. He is more than able to see you through any discouraging circumstances that may come your way.

KEY POINT
Do not allow discouragement to make you say wrong things.

AVOID LEAKAGES

MEMORISE
“Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.” - (Song of Solomon 2:15)

READ: Judges 16:1-21 (KJV)

1 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.

2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.

3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.

4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.

6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.

7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.

8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

9 Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.

10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.

11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.

12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.

13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.

14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.

15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.

16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.

18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.

19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.

20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.

21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.

MESSAGE

Over the past few days, I have been discussing being filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit. If a person can be filled, it then means there is a possibility of being empty. Talking about the possibility of emptiness brings me to the possibility of leakages. There are various ways to empty a container; one is to pour all its content out at once, and another could be to puncture the container so that the content begins to leak until it is totally drained.

Most times, when satan wants to attack a believer who is full of the Holy Spirit, he doesn't launch an all-out attack. The devil is wary of the impact of the anointing; therefore, when he wants to attack such believers, he looks for subtle ways to empty them of the anointing. He looks for little cracks in their lives that he can exploit to cause them to lose the anointing gradually until they become empty - then, he strikes.

Believers who toy with sin will first experience a leakage of the anointing, and if they do not repent, it will ultimately lead to death (Romans 6:23). A believer might still be functioning in the gifts of the Spirit, but if he or she is involved in secret sins, the anointing will begin to leak. The problem with leakage from a container is that the time it is discovered is usually when the remaining content has become too little to be useful or when the container is totally empty; by then, it is already late. When Samson said, "I will arise and go out as before" (Judges 16:20), he didn't know that the anointing had departed from him. The discovery that the anointing is gone often happens when the devil has achieved his goal, and it can only take the special grace of God for the believer to be restored.

...it is high time to awake out of sleep...let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. (Romans 13:11-12)

Beloved, if you have been toying with sin, this is the time to wake up. Those toying with sin are courting destruction. Nobody may know what you are doing in secret, but God knows, and you can be sure that the devil knows too. Solomon spoke about little foxes that spoil vines in today's memory verse. If you have been committing secret sins, please deal with them now before they destroy you.

KEY POINT
Secret sins will cause a leakage of the anointing and eventually destroy a believer.

OVERFLOW WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT II

MEMORISE:
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. JOHN 7:38

READ: JOHN 7:37-39
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

MESSAGE:
"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." Psalm 23:5

David was talking about the overflow of the Holy Spirit in the Scripture above.

Overflowing with the Holy Spirit and the anointing is God’s desire for all His children.

In today’s Bible reading, Jesus Christ said that those who are thirsty can come to Him and drink. He said that out of their bellies will flow rivers of living water – not one river but rivers – that is a tremendous overflow of the Holy Spirit.

Peter overflowed with the Holy Spirit because even his shadow healed the sick Acts 5:14-16.

Elisha also overflowed with the anointing so much that the flow continued after his death, and his bones raised the dead 2 Kings 13:20-21.

There is no limit to how much of the Holy Spirit you can carry because God wants you to be filled to overflowing

In 2011, a woman shared a testimony in Dublin. She said she had heard that when the barren sit on chairs that l have sat on, they would become pregnant.

So, she attended one of our programmes but could not get to sit on the chair I sat on because it had been taken away before she got to it.

She was sad, but suddenly, she had an idea. “He was standing at the pulpit preaching; there must be part of the anointing on the pulpit too.”

So, she went to the pulpit and began to rub her stomach against it. She became pregnant that month, and when she delivered, she gave birth to triplets.

The Holy Spirit had overflowed through me so much that there was enough power on the pulpit to make the barren fruitful.

Beloved, the Holy Spirit can overflow through you too. You can be so filled with the Holy Spirit that whatever you touch will carry the anointing.

However, for that to happen, you must be drunk with His infilling. No matter how filled you are with the Holy Spirit, you must continually long for more.

You must make it a habit to spend quality time in His presence to the point where you will stop being conscious of time.

I pray that as you spend quality time in God’s presence, He will fill you to overflowing with the Holy Spirit and power.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please fill me until I overflow with Your Spirit. Let rivers of living water flow out of my belly, in Jesus’ name.

16 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

MESSAGE:
In today’s Bible reading, David praised God with all his might and danced with total abandon. This is a classic example of overflowing praise; no wonder God blessed Him beyond measure.

When we overflow with praise towards God, He gives us blessings that are beyond measure.

When you praise God, you please Him, and when you please Him, He makes even your enemies to be at peace with you Proverbs 16:7.

No wonder David never lost a battle; his overflowing praise always made God silence all his enemies before him.

When you go out of your way to praise God, He goes out of His way to shower you with abundant blessings.

To really give overflowing praise to God, you cannot set limits to your praise; you have to praise Him without ceasing.

This means that you keep praising Him everywhere you go and while going about your daily activities. This also means that your major preoccupation throughout all your days should be to give Him praise continually.

This is why every time people see me, they notice that my mouth is always moving – I am always singing choruses to praise my God.

I remember one time l travelled outside Nigeria; I went to a bookstore to buy some books. While picking the books, I was singing praises to God.

A white man came into the bookstore, saw me, and made a joke about my singing. We laughed, shook hands, and as he was about to leave, he said, “Wait a minute, it is gone!” Apparently, he had been suffering from a backache for years. The moment I shook his hands in that mood of worship, the backache disappeared.

If you want to experience constant miracles everywhere you go, even when you are not expecting it, then you should be giving God overflowing praise.

Those who give God overflowing praise do not wait for Him to do anything for them before they praise Him. They praise Him in season and out of season.

Just the fact that they get up from their beds in the morning is enough reason to give Him praise. In return, God ensures that He meets their needs even before they ask so that they can put more time and focus into praising Him.

Before any trouble comes, He settles it so that the flow of praise does not stop. Beloved, make it a habit to praise God everywhere you go, and He will beautify your life with His abundant blessings.

KEY POINT:
To give God overflowing praise, you must praise Him everywhere you go and at all times.

OVERFLOWING HEALTH

MEMORISE:
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 2

READ: ACTS 5:14-16

14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

MESSAGE

God's will is not just for us to be healthy but to overflow with health. You can be so healthy that when sick people touch you, they will become healed. The Lord Jesus was overflowing with health, which is why the woman with the issue of blood simply touched the hem of His garment and was healed (Matthew 9:20-22).

Years ago, a teenager who had sickle cell anaemia and had been sick all his life stood up to give a testimony in church. He said, "I heard that Daddy G.O. is coming to this church next Sunday. I want to testify that I will be healed next Sunday." Somebody called me to tell me the teenager's testimony, and I started praying that God would allow me to meet him. As God would have it, the young man was standing outside as I got to the church and came out of my car. He didn't look like a teenager at all; he looked so tiny. He came to me and said, "Daddy, I've been sick all my life, but I am confident that since you have come to this church today, I will be healed today." I hugged him and said, "It will be unto you according to your faith." I got his letter some months later, and he wrote, "Dear Daddy, I want to thank God, and I want to thank you. I have been healed since the day you came to our church."

Beloved, Jesus didn't just die for you to be healthy; He wants your health to overflow such that any sick person you lay hands on will become healed and healthy. 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 speak with new tongues; 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.

In 1 Peter 2:24, the Bible says that Jesus paid for your health; this is why you must hate sicknesses and diseases passionately. Just as Peter's shadow healed the sick (Acts 5:15) and handkerchiefs taken from Paul's body drove out diseases from people (Acts 19:12), God wants you to overflow with health and become a channel of healing and health to others. I pray that you will live in constant health all the days of your life and that the healing anointing will flow through you to others, in Jesus' Name.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please fill me with overflowing health so that I will never be sick again, and the sick will be healed through me, in Jesus' Name.

THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB_*

*MEMORY VERSE:* "And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true sayings of God. " – Revelation 19:9

*BIBLE PASSAGE: Revelation 19:6-9*
[6] And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

[7] Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

[8] And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

[9] And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

*INTRODUCTION*
Marriage, in this context, symbolises the union between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:24-27, 32). It is, however, important to note that the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the next event after the first phase of the second coming of Christ (the rapture).

*LESSON OUTLINES*
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE MARRIAGE
2. IMPORTANCE AND QUALIFICATION

*1. DESCRIPTION OF THE MARRIAGE*
The concept of the marriage supper is better understood in light of the wedding customs in the time of Christ. These wedding customs had three major parts. First, the parents of the bride and the bridegroom sign a marriage contract with the payment of a dowry to the bride or her parents. This began what was called the betrothal period--what we would today call the engagement (Matthew 1:18; Luke 2:5). The second step is when the bridegroom comes in the night to take his bride (Matthew 25:1-13).

The third phase was the marriage Supper itself, which might go on for days, as illustrated by the wedding at Cana in John 2:1-2. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is the consummation of the union between Christ (The Bridegroom) and the Church (the Bride-without spot or wrinkle) - Ephesians 5:27, 32; Revelation 19:1-9; Matthew 22:1-14.
The marriage will take place before the second phase of the second coming of Christ to the earth between Jesus and redeemed or saints of all ages who will have part in the first resurrection. It is believed that the marriage supper will take place in Heaven (Revelation 19:9).

*2. IMPORTANCE AND QUALIFICATION*
The marriage supper of the Lamb is meant to assemble the saints of all ages and present them to God, the Father (Matthew 25:32-34), who will wipe away tears from their faces (Revelation 7:17). It is also to take away the saints from the earth before the activities of the anti-Christ and the period of the tribulation (Isaiah 57:1). It will also be the period to reward faithful and diligent saints.
Those who will qualify for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb are the faithful saints of God, whose garments of righteousness have not been stained (Revelation 21:27; Hebrews 12:14).

*CONCLUSION*
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb, like all biblical prophecies, will be fulfilled. You can not afford to miss it. Pray to God to keep you standing in Him and count you worthy of this great and unique event.


Shalom!!!

HYMN 18: PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY

1 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty the king of creation;
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation;
All ye who hear, brothers and sister draw near,
Praise Him in glad adoration.

2 Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee;
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriend thee


3 Praise to the Lord, who, when tempest their warfare are waging
Who, when the elements madly around Thee are ranging,
Biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace,
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.

4 Praise to the Lord, who when darkness and sin is abounding
Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding,
Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night,
Saints with His mercy surrounding.

5 Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath come now with praises before Him!
Let the amen sound from his people again;
Gladly for aye we adore him

OVERFLOWING WEALTH

MEMORISE: Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. Psalm 112:3

READ: Zech 1:14-17
14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.

17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

MESSAGE
God doesn't just want you to be rich; He wants you to overflow with wealth. In 2 Chronicles 1:6-15, the Bible records that Solomon had so much wealth that he made silver and gold as common as stones in Jerusalem. Even though he only asked God for wisdom to rule Israel, God gave him great riches in addition to the wisdom.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. Psalm 35:27

God truly derives pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. He can decide to make you overflow with wealth, but He will not do it for someone who is selfish. When He gave
Solomon overflowing wealth, it was because Solomon did not ask for something for himself; rather, he asked for something for God's people. God will not give you overflowing wealth if you're not committed to His people and His work on the earth. If all you want to do with wealth is to spend it on yourself and your family alone or show off before people, God will not give you access to overflowing wealth.

When God knows that He can trust you to use the resources He gives you to advance His kingdom on earth, He will bless you with abundance. He blessed Abraham with overflowing wealth and made him great because He could trust him and because He knew he would be a blessing to the whole world (Genesis 18:17-19). Can God trust you with overflowing wealth?

I travelled to Gibraltar at one time, and I was having a nice time looking at tourist attractions like the Rock of Gibraltar and so on. Suddenly, I saw something that affected my happiness – there was a mosque built there with millions of pounds sterling. When I asked, I was told that only a few people use the mosque, and only one person funded the construction of the building! I turned to God and asked, "Lord, what is this?" The answer I got from Him was, "You people are too slow! Particularly you Nigerians. Some of you are even afraid to prosper. When you pray, O God, prosper me,' all you are asking for is one million naira. You don't have a vision to take the whole world for Jesus Christ."

Beloved, when your heart is ablaze with a burning passion to advance God's kingdom, He will not hesitate to give you overflowing wealth.

REFLECTION
Are you passionate about advancing God's kingdom? Can God trust you with overflowing wealth?

THE FOOLISHNESS OF SIN

MEMORISE:
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. PROVERBS 14:34

READ: JOSHUA 7:1-26
1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
4 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
10 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the Lord taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the Lord shall take shall come by households; and the household which the Lord shall take shall come man by man.
15 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
17 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
18 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LordGod of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the Lord.
24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

MESSAGE:
Before I became a Christian, I thought I was clever. I had become a university lecturer, so l thought I knew quite a bit. I was also a sportsman, but I was often down with malaria.

I was earning a good salary as a lecturer, and because I was afraid of the traffic in Lagos, I employed a driver. I would pay him his salary at the beginning of the month, but by the middle of the month, I would be borrowing money from him to buy fuel.

Things were hard because Isaiah 3:11 says that God has ordained hardship for sinners.

I am sure that if you go through the medical records at the University of Lagos Health Centre, you’ll see how large my medical file was because I, my wife, and our children were always getting sick.

However, since I surrendered my life to God, I and my family have been healthy. By His grace, I have been healthy since 1973 to date.

I stopped wasting money when I stopped sinning.

Before I became born again, you would find all sorts of alcoholic drinks in my house. Whenever my colleagues came visiting, they would say, “We can’t pass in front of the palace without saying hello to the king.” They actually came to drink because I was the king of alcohol.

After I became born again, they would come, and if they requested alcoholic drinks, I would say, “I’m sorry, I don’t have that anymore; I only have soft drinks.” They would get offended, and little by little, all my old friends disappeared, and God replaced them with brothers and sisters in Christ.

Once you start living a holy life, things will turn around for good in your life.

Sin always takes more than people bargain for.

When Joshua led the Israelites to conquer Jericho, everything went smoothly because there was no sin in their camp. However, the moment Achan took the accursed thing, Israel started experiencing defeat. The little country of Ai dealt with them so much that they had to run from the battlefield Joshua 7:1-4.

Sin brings disgrace and dishonour to sinners. Beloved, it is foolish to engage in sin.

Keep God’s word in your heart so that you can overcome the temptations that surround you Psalm 119:11 and flee from every appearance of sin and evil 1 Thessalonians 5:22.

I pray that the Almighty God will give you the grace to overcome every temptation, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT:
Heavenly Father, please help me to live for You now and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Pepper Seller

There is a man who sells dry pepper in Rumuomasi morning market near Elekohia stadium Port Harcourt. His name is Chinedu. His wife gave birth but the cut on her stomach refused to heal because she has diabetes. She couldn't give birth through the normal process and the doctor opted for CS. After a long wait after delivery, her stomach continued to bleed and at some point started decaying. Not only decaying, it started to smell and It refused to heal. At this point, the husband couldn't take it any longer. He ran into our Alter in the market and started crying. Pastor Uchenna Emmanuel stood up and told him what his wife is passing through without allowing Chinedu to say any word. He told him God said because he came to the Alter to cry u to Him, in three days time the bleeding will stop and they will look for the diabetes and will not see it again!!! Then the operation will be done successfully without any issue.

Three days later, the bleeding stopped and a test was carried out but no single trace of diabetes was seen in her body. After the operation, she healed almost immediately and today she no longer has any form of diabetes again and her baby is doing well. Hallelujah!!!

In addition to this, he came back during one of our evangelism/program in the market to testify how God saved his wife. That day, the market through the fellowship gave him so many food stuffs, meat, fish, provisions and baby things which covered two garry sacks. Money was also given to help his young family. Hallelujah!!!

THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY

MEMORISE:
“For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.” PSALM 84:11

READ: PSALM 91:1-16
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

MESSAGE:
There is something very interesting about shadows; there can be no shadows except there is light. If everywhere is totally dark, there will be no shadows.

Malachi 4:2 calls Jesus the Sun of righteousness.

If you read John 5:2-9, you will see the story of a man who had been sick for 38 years and had been forsaken by everybody. All of a sudden, while he lay helplessly on the ground, a shadow was cast over him. When he lifted up his eyes, he saw the Sun of righteousness. Not long after, he was on his feet and was found in the temple John 5:14.

The madman of Gadara became free from demonic oppression when he encountered the Sun of righteousness Mark 5:1-15.

The woman with the issue of blood didn't have any hope of healing and restoration until she came under the shadow of the Almighty. Her twelve years of pain, disappointment, and sorrow ended the moment she encountered the Sun of righteousness Mark 5:25-34.

In today's memory verse, David described God as a sun and a shield. As the Sun, He drives away every darkness from your life and gives you victory and wholeness, and as the Shield, He protects you from all evil and preserves your soul.

David experienced God as his sun and shield when he was running from Saul. No wonder he said in Psalm 37:40 that God will help and deliver His people from the wicked because they trust in Him.

Only those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High can abide under the shadow of the Almighty and boast of this kind of deliverance Psalm 91:1.

The secret place of the Most High is a place for intimate conversations with Him; it is a place where you can build intimacy with Him.

Also, in His secret place, He reveals mysteries to overcome the enemy.

Elisha knew the secret conversations of the king of Syria because he had an intimate relationship with God 2 Kings 6:8-12.

If you want to abide under Christ's shadow, then you have to dwell in His secret place.

Beloved, are you dwelling in the secret place of the Most High?

Only those who live a holy life and prioritise spending quality time with God can dwell there.

Sinners cannot dwell in the secret place; therefore, if you're not yet born again or you're still toying with sin, repent now and come under the shadow of the Almighty.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to dwell in Your secret place so that I can abide under Your shadow.

MEMORY VERSE:
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 2 Corinthians 9:8_

*BIBLE TEXT*
*Psalms 23:1-6*

[1](A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

[2]He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

[3]He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

[4]Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

[5]Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over

[6]Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

*MESSAGE*
The first record of God introducing Himself in person to man by His name was in Genesis 17:1, and He said, "I am Jehovah El-Shadda,." This is often interpreted as The God who is more than enough. However, some Bible scholars have said there is a deeper meaning to the name as it also describes God as an inexhaustible source for our nurturing. This implies that God is saying, you can draw everything you need for growth and a fulfilling life from Me"

My God is the All-sufficient One. David said in Psalm 23:1, *_The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want._*" Philippians 4:19 says that *_God will supply ALL your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus_*. The Bible says further in Philippians 4:13, *_I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."_* These and many more Scriptures give me the assurance that if l am linked with the All-sufficient One, it is impossible for me to lack.

God daily loads us with benefits (Psalm 68:19) -He gives us benefits every single day! When He wants to supply your needs for a day, He can use various methods. In 1956, I was living with an uncle in llesha, a town in Western Nigeria. He was a drummer whose only source of income was whenever people invited him to play the drum. When he doesn't receive any invitations, no money comes in, and we will starve. On a particular day, both of us were hungry, and we hoped that somebody would come and invite him to drum. After a while, a girl came to us with a big bowl on her head, dropped it, and said, "My sister said I should give you this food." My uncle said, "I don't know your sister." The girl replied, "Well, my sister knows you," and she turned around and left. Immediately after she left, we opened the bowl and found pounded yam and chicken stew in it. We had been starving, so we descended on the food without delay. As we were breaking the chicken bones, the girl came back and said, "I'm sorry, I came to the wrong house," but it was too late. When God wants to supply your needs, He can divert blessings that do not seem to be yours to you.

Beloved, never worry about your needs. Trust and obey the All Sufficient One, and you will always have all you need and more.

*_KEY POINT_*
*_God is inexhaustible; stay connected to Him* ._

YOUR FUTURE

MEMORISE:

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” Proverbs 4:18 (KJV)

BIBLE READING: 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-17
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

MESSAGE:

Over the past two days, I discussed the relationship between your past and present. Today, I will conclude the series by discussing about your future and how your present will impact it.

As a believer, your future is secure because only God controls the past, the present, and the future - He is Alpha and Omega. This is why Colossians 1:27 says, "...Christ in you, the hope of glory:” Furthermore, Isaiah 3:10 says, "Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him..." These are promises from God, assuring you that your future will be alright.

Your future can be categorised into two: your future on earth and your future in eternity. If you're a genuine Christian, you shouldn't worry about tomorrow because God has promised to take care of you here on earth. In John 14:13, Jesus said that if you ask anything in His name, it will be given to you. He said in Matthew 7:9-11 that even in our wicked state, we humans would never give our children stones when they ask for bread, so how would we not expect Him to give us every good thing that we ask Him for? As long as you are His child, God has promised that you will lack no good thing here on earth.

God has also promised to take care of you when you leave the earth. In John 14:1-3, Jesus said:

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

As a genuine child of God, when you leave this world, a mansion in a city made of pure gold is waiting for you in heaven (Revelation 21:18)

Beloved, if you haven't given your life to Jesus Christ, you are in the kingdom of darkness, and you are courting double jeopardy. On earth, satan will have the right to make a mess of you because you belong to his kingdom, and in eternity, you will be in the lake of fire, far away from God, who is the source of all peace, joy, and light. If you haven't given your life to Jesus, turn to Him right now because, outside Him, your future will be terrible (Isaiah 3:11).

KEY POINT:

If you are in Christ and you remain in Him, your future is blessed.

YOUR PRESENT

MEMORISE:
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, EPHESIANS 5:15

READ: GENESIS 25:27-34
27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

MESSAGE:
Today can be regarded as tomorrow’s past. Just as your past experiences and choices gave birth to your present, the experiences and choices of today will give birth to your tomorrow. Therefore, you must be mindful of how you live your life today to birth a great future for yourself.

Ephesians 5:15-16 tells us that we should walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil.

In the next verse, the Bible tells us what it means to walk circumspectly.

"Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."
Ephesians 5:17

To walk circumspectly is to walk in wisdom. It is to allow God’s wisdom to fill your heart so you can have a deep understanding of what God’s will is and do it.

Esau is an example of someone in the Bible who didn’t walk in wisdom, and this affected his future negatively.

He was the firstborn son of Isaac and Rebecca, and as the firstborn, he was entitled to his father’s blessing.

His future was looking very bright until one day when he went to the field to hunt for meat. He returned home hungry and met his brother, Jacob, cooking.

Esau allowed his hunger to becloud his reasoning and accepted Jacob’s offer to trade his birthright for a plate of food, as we see in today’s Bible reading.

He didn’t know that the birthright he carelessly sold was tied to the blessing that was waiting for him in the future. Because he despised his birthright, the blessing fled from him.

You must live in such a way that you don’t eat your tomorrow today.

Don’t be like Esau, who couldn’t see beyond his immediate want and allowed a temporary hunger to cause him to lose a permanent blessing.

Another fellow who didn’t walk in wisdom and allowed his foolish actions to destroy his future was Reuben.

Reuben was the firstborn son of Jacob, and as the firstborn, he had every right to inherit the blessing. However, he was unwise, and he slept with his father’s concubine.

He allowed his temporary desire to cheat him and his descendants of the great blessing he should have inherited.

When his father was about to die, instead of receiving blessings, he and his descendants inherited curses. Genesis 49:3-4.

Beloved, choose to walk in wisdom by living strictly according to the word of God at all times so that you and your children can reap good fruits in the future.

KEY POINT:
Your actions today will determine the outcome of your life and that of your descendants tomorrow. Live wisely.

YOUR PAST

MEMORISE:
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. ISAIAH 43:18-19

READ: 1 CHRONICLES 4:9-10
9 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.
10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

MESSAGE
The past can be regarded as the mother of the present. Whatever you are going through today can be traced to the things that happened in the past.

You might be going through some negative things now because of some of your past mistakes, but the good news is that the One who is called Alpha and Omega can clear out your negative past. He can wash off the mistakes of the past with His blood 1 John 1:7.

This is why 2 Corinthians 5:17 says that if a man is in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away, and behold, all things have become new.

No matter the events that have happened in your past, the moment you come to Jesus, He gives you a brand-new start. He enters into your past and rearranges everything to work for your good.

God doesn’t need a minute to travel into your past to correct anything. In Revelation 1:8, He says:

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

God is Alpha and Omega, and He can go back to the day of your naming ceremony, the day of your birth, or even the time before your birth to change things in your favour.

Some people have problems today because of the names they bear. Some of these people were given names to reflect the circumstances that surrounded them or their families at the time of their birth.

For instance, if someone is named Esugbogo (meaning ‘satan is glorified’ in the Yoruba language), such a person cannot blame satan for tormenting him or her because the fellow’s name literally invites satan to glorify himself over the fellow.

Such people have very little that they can do about the things that happened before their birth or how they were named, but there’s someone who can go back to that time and change situations. God can go into your past to change things that don’t fit into His plans and purposes for you.

Beloved, God holds the key to your past. Cry out to Him today to change anything in your past that is contrary to His purpose for your life, as Jabez did in today’s Bible reading.

I pray that my Father will remove every negative thing in your past that might be haunting your present and give you a brand-new beginning, in Jesus’ name.

KEY POINT:
God can remove anything from your past that doesn’t fit into His purpose for your life.
