TOPIC:
CAN YOU TRY AGAIN❓

KEY VERSE:
“…Seven times Elijah said, ‘Go back'” (1 Kings 18:43, NIV).

TEXT:1 Kings 18:41-46

MESSAGE:
Lieut.Col. Odimegwu Ojukwu’s army was once defeated and scattered by a powerful enemy whose strength and resolve had been badly underestimated. Ojukwu himself had managed to escape into an old deserted Bunka while the enemy troops scouted the country side in search for him. His troops were either hiding or running.

Desperate and defeated, Odimegwu lay with his face In the dirt of that old Bunka floor watching an Ant attempt to carry a single kernel of corn over a perpendicular wall. The kernel was much larger than the Ant and so it was quiet a struggle. Sixty-nine times the Ant attempted to carry it up the wall. The Lieut. Col. counted each attempt. Sixty-nine times the Ant fell back with his oversized load. On the seventieth trial, the tenacious Ant managed to push the grain of corn over the top.

This demonstration of strength and persistence and final victory in the face of overwhelming obstacles so excited col.Odimegwu that he leaped to his feet with a shout. Quickly he left his hiding place, recognised the forces he could mobilise and went into the battle again. This time he was triumphant, putting his enemies to fight, until the War ended up in “No Victor No Vanquish”,

Many times in life we tend to give up after a few failed attempts. But God’s Word is encouraging us that we need not easily give up. Is it not surprising that Elijah had to keep praying for the rain God had promised to send? He continued to pray and kept checking up for the sign until he got it. Keep pressing forward, there is a sound of abundance. But if you TRY and fail, please TRY Again until victory is assured.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Don’t give up; Winners never Quit and Quitters never Win.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to develop a never giving up spirit.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Zephaniah 1-3;
Colossians 4

Friday 29 November 2019

TOPIC:
WHAT “TIME” IS YOUR TIME⁉

KEY VERSE:
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven” (Eccl. 3:1).

TEXT:
Matthew 7:7-11

MESSAGE:
Your blessing might not come if God’s timing is different than yours. God may want you to wait and grow in dependence on Him before He gives you something.

Take note of Psalm 18:30 which says “As for God, his way is perfect. All of the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection” (NLT). That means He knows when it is the right time for us to receive certain blessings and when it is not.

Writer said:
“A cosmic clock is ticking, it was established by God, not just for the vast movements of the universe but for every situation in your life. If you are frustrated by it, wondering why God is not rushing an answer to your earnest prayer, then feel at home. You’re part of a long list of people – biblical heroes included who have struggled with God’s timing.

If you are struggling with God’s timing, the standard counsel will be: BE PATIENT❕ Your answer will come.
Christmas is around the corner: please be patient
You have projects at hand not yet completed: please be patient
All your mate are married except you: please have little patience with God… Gods time is the best

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
“Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind” (Ogechi Ka Nma).

PRAYER:
Lord, give me the right attitude to appreciate your timing.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
2 Chronicles 21-22; Luke 9:1-17

TOPIC:
WHY NOT ASK IN FAITH❓

KEY VERSE:
“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24).

TEXT:
Matthew 7:7-11

MESSAGE:
While we all know that God is good and He loves to bless His children, at the same time, He knows our hearts and understands when we put our faith to work. So, another reason that our expected blessings might not come is, if you are not asking in faith, truly believing he will

Read what our Lord and Saviour Jesus taught His followers: “Whatever you ask in prayer you will receive, if you have faith” (Matt. 21:22) and “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24).

Jesus also said in Mark 9:23 that everything is possible to him who believes. But if you are having trouble believing that, ask God to help your unbelief. Jesus honoured the sincerity of the man who asked for something and followed it up with ‘help me to overcome my unbelief!'” (Mark 9:24).

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
“Activate your faith, live in victory, speak over your life and expect things to come your way”.

PRAYER:
O Lord, fill me with the faith that connects me to my blessings.

TOPIC:
WHAT DO YOU DO❗ IN THE DAYS OF YOUR TROUBLE❓

KEY VERSE:
“And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me” (Psalm 50:15,KJV)

TEXT:
Psalm 20:1-8; 50:15

MESSAGE:
Some days are not like others. A time comes when we wake up to meet some challenges that present themselves as insurmountable. At such times our best are never good enough. In fact, the more we try to grapple with the situation the more it gets out of hands. Some days like that pressures lose all their weights on us and want to press life out of our being. Sure moments are what the Bible calls the day of trouble. Unfortunately, such days cannot be wished away.

But God’s Word today tells us what to do when we meet such days. We are not to do our best to deal with it. We are not to go into hiding. We must not think of committing suicide. The Lord says, ‘call upon me in the day of trouble ‘.He said so because He is our trouble solver. There is no impossible situation with Him. The problem He cannot solve does not exist. The cause of the trouble is the subject matter. It makes no difference whether you, your parents, spouse, siblings, neighbours or even demons are the cause of the trouble. God says that all you need to do in the day of trouble is to call upon him.

The assurances of God’s Word in Psalm 20 should make us courageous enough to face this day.

“In your day of trouble, may the Lord be with you! May the God of Jacob keep you from all harm. May He send you aid from his sanctuary in Zion. May he remember with pleasure the gifts you have given Him, your sacrifices and burnt offerings. May he grant you your heart’s desire and fulfil all your plans. May there be shouts of joy when we hear the news of your victory, flags flying with praise to God for all that he has done for you. May He answer all your prayers!” from now and henceforth. Amen.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
God is an ever present help in times of trouble.

PRAYER:
Lord I glorify your name for hearing my call in the day of trouble.

1 Samuel 7-9; Ephesians 5:1-16

Tuesday 26th November 2019

Text:
Proverbs 23:17-18

TOPIC:
WHERE IS YOUR HOPE❓

Message:
Yes, only God is worthy enough to be the object of our hope! He is changeless, faithful to the core and ever beautiful for all situations. He created the Earth out of nothing; and He alone sustains the same, owing His existence to no other but Himself. What He does for His own at any given time is not determined by circumstances or any other force or being. He doesn’t disappoint hope; He fulfils it.

As we consider our text today, we’ re encouraged to know that our hope in God will not be disappointed, regardless of whatever force the enemy musters against us. God could literally go lengths to suspend even the natural laws and some other protocols, just to ensure that our hope in Him is neither shattered, nor our expectations cut off.

Indeed, it’s better to hope in Him than whatever situation we may find ourselves in. When we do, we’ll learn the art of calmly waiting on Him amidst the storms of life; we’ll be on top of everything situation, instead of fretting about it. Joy is one sure emotion that reveals we’re atop the situation, whatever it might be. This is because, among other things, the hope we have in God makes us see God as our strength!  Our souls remain unconquered, and our joy is not seasonable! And we dare to rejoice ahead of time because we already have the outcome of the battle it ever begins.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Hope in Him yet; He will certainly cause you to walk upon your high places.

PRAYER:
Lord, strengthen my hope in Your Word and in Your person.

Romans 6:1-2

TOPIC:
WILL YOU ABUSE THE GRACE❓

Memory Verse:
Galatians 5:13

Message:
Addressing those early Jewish Christians, Paul saw the need to help them understand that the doctrine of grace, which he had maintained, was not a license to sin-i.e., grace does not allow the indulgence of sinful desires and corrupt passions. Though freed from the rites and ceremonies of Mosaic laws, it was only freedom from that which would oppress the spirit; not from that which lays restraint on the flesh. In other words, he was warning them to not abuse grace.

A preacher of grace or one who believes in free grace, and yet lives carelessly in sin or worldliness doesn’t really understand what grace is all about. The same gospel that proclaimed to us liberty from ceremonial law, equally binds us still faster under the moral law (1 John2:3-6). Having received God’s infinitely gracious gift in salvation through Jesus (John 3:16; Rom 5:8), we should, out of gratitude, live to please, and not satisfy our fleshly desires (Rom 12:1-2).

As Christians, we’re not under the Old Testament Law. But, that doesn’t mean we’re not under any law at all; for we’re under the Law of Christ. It is a law of love (Matt 22:37-40). Keeping that law isn’t what makes us Christians, but it is what God expects us to live by because we are Christians. As David. Ogbueli wrote, “He who has given us grace, a new heart, and a new nature has truly deprived us of all excuse if we do not live for His own praise.” So, happy is that saint that rejoices in the Free Grace God has provided, but never forgets to WATCH, PRAY, and put his or her body under subjection, lest he or she falls into temptation!

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Let’s not abuse grace. Instead, let’s keep walking in the newness of the life we received in Christ.

PRAYER:
Lord, I acknowledge that I’ve been bought with a price. I therefore commit to live for You and You alone.

2 Samuel 21-22; 3 John

Text:
Psalm 1:1-3; Colossians 3:16

TOPIC:
CAN YOU MEMORIZE GOD’S WORD❓

Memory Verse:
Psalm 119:11

MESSAGES
Scripture memorisation is becoming a lost art in Christianity. Yet, the Bible frequently urges believers to keep God’s Word within them ( Colossians 3:16; Proverbs 7:1). Moses insisted that God’s people keep His word in their hearts, write it on the wall of their houses, frame it as posters and fashion it as Bangles (Deuteronomy. 6:6-9).

Scripture memorisation is the best defense against sin and temptation (PS. 119:11, Luke 4:4-12). It is the basis of wise counsel and correction. It will engrave God’s Word in your heart. It facilities worship and fellowship. It produces new depths of holiness, maturity and security. It is a natural consequence of your love for God’s word (Psalm 119:46). Memorising at least one verse each day, you can produce amazing results in your life. You can begin with today’s memory verse.

Parents feel happy when their children memorise their books and then come out top in the class. Prizes won by children are usually objects of pride to both parents and guardians. This same way; God, our heavenly Father is happy when we memorise and meditate on His word.

Make up your mind today; memorise God’s word each day with your loved ones so that you may be able to withstand the wiles of the enemy.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Memorising God’s word is a secret to attaining new heights in Christ every day.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me learn to keep your word in my heart.

Saturday 23 November 2019

TOPIC:
CAN YOU WAIT FOR THE TIME ❓

KEY VERSE:
“You have need of patience, that …ye might receive the promise” (Heb. 10:36).

TEXT: Hebrews 10:35-39, Ecclesiastes. 3:1-3

MESSAGE:
Every day, we see people behaving as though God is never on time. We live in a restless world with impatient neighbours and busybody colleagues. We have little time for preparation and less for leisure. We wish we must be active and financially effective but often times, inactivity and structural unemployment become our lot. Realistically, it appears as though God has disappointed us. Or, is it that we have dissapointed God?

The experience of delay is written large on the lives of God’s people down through the human history, as observed in time and fufilment of bringing Isreal out of Egypt according to God’s promise. We even see God’s supposed silent years of our Lord Jesus in the obscure Nazareth village. Delay never thwarts God’s purpose rather it polishes His instruments.

The text for today admonishes that we need patience to hit our destinies. A universal parlance has it that winners never quit and quitters never win. A person might become a CEO at 35 of his family business and dies at 50. While another would become a CEO at 50 and live until 90 years. Someone is still single, while his/her friends got married ahead of him/her. Obama assumed office at 47 and retired at 55. Trump came to office at 70. Just as Jonathan started at 52 while buhari took over him at 73.

Absolutely, everyone in this world operates at his time zone. People around you might seem to go ahead of you. Some may seem behind you. The truth is that everyone is running his race based on his time. Do not envy any; don’t mock any. Everything operates with time. Nigeria is one hour ahead Ghana. It dosen’t make Ghanaians slower than Nigerians by any yardstick.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
On God’s hand, time is a mercy tool. For God makes everything to the elect beautiful in His time.

PRAYER:
Lord, grant me the capacity to wait when You wish and to move at Your command and pace.

Genesis 22:1-6; Psalm 11:5

TOPIC:
HAVE YOUR FAITH BEEN TRIED❓

Memory Verse:
Psalm 11:5

Message:
The trial of our faith is the process by which our confidence in God is pruned and our hearts are freed from mundane inhibitions. It is the stuff by which are so stabilised and sufficiently equipped to be more productive in life. In fact, it is not in the habit of God to put valuable things into the hands of men whose heart He have not tried.

The trans-generational blessings that were bequeathed to Abraham was in response to his passing of that supreme test. Of course, God knew that he would pass the test, even through it was not going to be easy, because he does not test us beyond our abilities (1 Cor. 10:13). In fact, according to Apostle Peter, we are not to think of the trial of our faith as something strange (1Peter 4:12). It is God’s way of getting us more rooted in Him.

The trial of our faith can be like need to the wind that helps the traproot of a tree to go deeper into the soil or the wind that separates the chaff from the wheat. It is the fire purifies the golden parts of our character. The evidence that you have conquered greed is seen when you pass the test of giving; the proof that you are humble is when you pass the test of power and influence, and the sign that you have self-control is when you pass the pressures of lust, covetousness and temper tantrum. But the good news is that “When your faith succeeds in facing such trials, the result is the ability to endure… So that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” (James 1:3-4)

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
The trial of our faith is the basis for God’s trust on us.

PRAYER:
Lord, grant me the strength and wisdom to pass the various trials of my faith.

Thursday 21 November 2019

TOPIC:
ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD❓

KEY VERSE
“The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” (Romans 8:16).

TEXT:
Romans 8:14-17

MESSAGE:
In these days of identity crisis we need it to be resounded that we have royalty in our DNA. Every born again child of God should be proud of his or her spiritual pedigree. The knowledge that you are a child of God should sufficiently define your self-esteem, value system, worldview and modus operandi.

Interestingly, we are told that as children of God we possess all the communicative attributes of God. We are exactly like our father. “. . .For as He is, so are we in this world”(1 John 4:17). You will notice here that it did not say, “As He is, so shall we be.” It says, “As he is so are we.” Furthermore, it did not say as He is so are we going to be in heaven. No! “As He is, so are we in this world.”

This understanding should make us live as standard bearers. We are to exercise authority on earth as Jesus did. We are to be the carriers of the presence of Jesus. We are not to be afraid of the devil for greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. We are to live with the full assurance that His divine power has made available for us all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). We are to live as Jesus lived when He was here on earth. As children of God, we should avoid all sort of negative confession, we should avoid every form of fear, we should learn on how to talk to our challenges instead. For the God we serve doesn’t fail.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Our authority is in our identity.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to appreciate the fact that I am Your child and a joint-heir with Christ.
