Topic :
WHAT APPRECIATION❗ DO YOU HAVE❓
Memory verse:
Mark 10:45
Message:
People give something in exchange for what they receive in turn. It is a mark of appreciation. Even in our society today, when someone does something or gives something to you, you are expected to do something in return for appreciation. In the Old Testament, David and his men came back to Ziklag to meet the city invaded and their wives, children and belongings taken away. They met an Egyptian servant boy who was abandoned by his Master because he was weak and dying of hunger. But they picked him, gave him food, water and revived him. In appreciation, the boy led them to the invaders’ Camp and they defeated the invaders and recovered all.
The Son of man, Our Lord Jesus Christ, came to the world, He committed no sin, but gave His life as a ransom to deliver a people that knew Him not. The book of Isaiah where we read says he bore our grief and our sorrow; He was wounded and brusied for our own sins. He had no sin, but the sins of us all who had gone astray were laid upon Him, yet He did not complain. We that were supposed to have been condemned are set free for the love of one Man. A popular song says:
Jesus who render His life for us, what have you done for him… He died on the cross for you and me, He shed His blood for all of us, He died on the cross for you and me, what have you done for Him?
The Egyptian slave boy did something for David and his men in appreciation for saving his life. The Lord Jesus is not asking so much from us. He only asks that we give Him a space in our lives. Invite Him into your life as your Lord and Saviour and into all that you do and you will see tremendous changes, even restoration in every aspect of your life.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS
Reciprocate His love by asking Him into your life
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, I surrender all to you today, come in and takeover.

HAVE YOU TRIED PRAISES ❓

HAVE YOU TRIED PRAISES❓
Memory verse:
2 CHRON. 20:22
Message:
There are some issues in life that defy almost every solution. You may have prayed all manner of prayers, made sacrifices, spent money on drugs, received counsel from trusted men of God, yet no solution. The Bible encourages you today to try praises. Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah tried it and it worked wonders for them.
The people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir came against Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah to battle. King Jehoshaphat was so terrified by such great army. He knew that he and his people were no match to such great army from three different countries. So he turned to He that is Omnipotent, He that fights without gun and machete yet never loses any battle. King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah turned to go with God to the battle in praise and worship, extolling the God of Israel. The passage we read says that the Lord laid ambush against their attackers and they were smitten and totally defeated.
God is still performing wonderful miracles even today. We may not know what your own case is but that God that defeated the great army that came against Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah through praises, is still the same today and tomorrow. Can you put the problems down and begin to praise Him? Try it and watch out. He will surely step in.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS :
Put down your problems and raise praises to the Omnipotent God
PRAYER:
As I lift my voice in praise, Oh Lord, may you step into the following issues of my life (mention them) and give me victory, Amen.
BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR :
Proverbs 27 -29, Hebrews 4

ARE YOU STILL IN FEAR ❓

2 Kings 6:12 -20
Topic :
ARE YOU STILL IN FEAR❓
Memory verse:
Number 13 : 33
Message:
Fear is an emotion experienced when anticipating some specific danger. It is a
F”= False
E”= Expression
A”= Appearing
R”= Real
This type of feeling will usually cause the person a desire to flee. Fear is not just dangerous, it is murderous. It kills it’s candidate before the bow and arrow arrive. It is more dangerous than danger itself. That is why it is believed that many people that die in a crash die out of fear. For fear, some will try to jump out through the window, roof or even the door before the driver stops. In fact, fear destroys.
The purpose of fear is as evil as itself. It is meant to limit the candidate by trying to stop him from seeing and knowing the possibilities of life. It makes the candidate to always see the negative side of every issue of life. Fear has stopped uncountable number of people at the edge of their breakthroughs in life, dragging them many miles backward. It is a great barrier to life’s progress and achievements. Unlike Caleb in our key text today, the other spies saw themselves as grasshoppers and the inhabitants as Giants; the same people that had lost their minds because of them. Fear made them see the problem before them as insurmountable and concluded they were not able.
In our main text, the king of Syria had dispatched battalion soldiers to go after Elisha, the man of God, for revealing all his secret plans to the king of Israel. When the servant of the man of God saw the large army, he was fear stricken. If not for Elisha, the man of God, he might have hidden himself, run away or even fainted. Thank God for a man like Elisha his spiritual and physical eyes were at alert and very clear. The simple way he handled the situation indicates that he had great confidence in His God, the God of Israel.
My pastor told a story that sounded like a parable. One day, many people died in a particular hospital. Somebody met death on the way and congratulated him for the killing; but death quickly said no, he did not kill them. Rather fear killed them, that he had not even crossed the street not talk of killing anybody. They only heard that he was passing and out of fear, they died.
Do you have fears? Ask God to give you grace to overcome them. God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Do not allow that intimidation anymore. For He that is in you is greater than he that is in them all.
Try and replace your ‘FEAR’ with ‘FAITH’ as the two words are contagious. Fear is Negative and Faith is Positive. Chose one!
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS :
Fear has stopped many at the edge of their breakthroughs.
PRAYER:
Oh Lord, grant me the spirit of boldness. Amen
