Topic: *DO WE DESERVE ASKING FOR GOD’S FAVOUR ❓*

Text: Psalm 5:12; 84: 10-12

MESSAGE: Understanding what favour mean is crucial to understanding how it works. The word ‘favour’ was chosen by Bible translator as the closest English word to the original Hebrew “ratsown”, which means “pleasure, delight, favour, goodwill, and acceptance.” Our English word for favour has several meanings which are worth looking at:

❗ Something done or granted out of goodwill, rather than from justice or for remuneration; a kind act.
❗. Friendly or well-disposed regard; goodwill.
❗ The state of being approved or held in regard.
❗. Excessive kindness or unfair partiality; preferential treatment.

Most of us understand that when we ask God to do something for us, we’re asking for favour. It’s something that He would do out of His goodwill not because we deserve it. That’s the first definition of favour. But, when we ask God specifically for His favour on our live or over a situation, many of us do not understand what we are really asking. We’re are moving into second, third, and fourth definitions of favour and that’s where thing get a little murky. Being held in high regard; excessive kindness; preferential treatment: are we really supposed to be asking for these things as favour from the Lord?

As we study the Bible, you will notice that there are many people who asked specifically for favour and received it; Jacob, Moses, Ruth, and Nehemiah. Since there is no respect of persons with God, as you ask for His favour today, rest assured that He will answer you. But, let your request for His favour be in line with His goodwill and word.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
A day of favour can be more rewarding than a year of labour.

PRAYER:
Lord, show me your favour and goodwill today.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
2 Chronicle 4-6; Luke 5:17-39

Pentecost day -The promised power

Text:
Act 1:4-8

TOPIC:
PENTECOST DAY-THE PROMISED POWER

Memory Verse:
Act 1:8

MESSAGE:
One of the biggest trade shows in the world is the annual Consumer Electronics Show hosted by the consumer Technology Association each year in Las Vegas. More than 180,000 people browse booths filled with the latest gadgets, tools, and toys put on display by hundred of vendors. The show in January of 2018 featured an unusual and unwelcome interruption – the electricity went out for more than two hours. Without power, none of the devices worked, no matter how advanced and how cutting edge they might be.

The Christian Life and our work for God depend on power, and that power does not come from us. The instruction that Jesus gave to His disciples was to not attempt to begin their work until they had received the promised power: “And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me” (Act 1:4) There are many sincere, dedicated, and devoted people who are not seeing the kind of result they want from their ministry because they are not operating in God’s power.

The Holy Spirit is given to every believer at the moment of salvation. But there is an ongoing process of allowing His Power to flow through us “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the spirit” (Ephesians 5:18). There is no shortage of power on God’s part. His ” transmission lines” never go down. Ask Him to empower you today. This year’s Pentecost Day should mark another season of power encounter for you. Don’t miss it. The promise is also for you.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Effective work and ministry can only be accomplished through the power of the Holy Spirit on our lives.

PRAYER:
Lord, I don’t want to experience power failure, I need a fresh impartation,

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Jeremiah 12-14; Matthew 22: 23-46
