THEME: DIVINE LOVE lll
MEMORISE: In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Isaiah 63:9
READ: Isaiah 63:7 -9
7I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
MESSAGE
The very first time I read our memory verse for today (Isaiah 63:9), I couldn’t believe my eyes. The first sentence really surprised me. “In all their affliction he was afflicted”
Whenever those that God loves are afflicted He is afflicted too. No wonder in Matthew 25:37-40, Jesus referred to Himself as the one in prison, the one who was hungry and so on, while the people He was talking to saw other humans in those situations. Anytime God's beloved is in pain, He is in pain too. Galatians 6:10 says:
“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”
It makes sense that when we, His beloved, are in pain, He is in pain too. When you see someone you love in pain, you wish that the pain could be transferred to you. Each time someone you love is suffering, you are suffering too.
This explains 1 Peter 2:24 to us:
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
What He is saying there is, 'Let your sickness fall on me'. He was saying 'I would rather die than see you die'. This gives me the assurance that aches and pains cannot stay in my body. You can say confidently to any pain in your body, "Jesus and l cannot suffer for the same thing. He has already suffered my pain, so l cannot be in pain again." If death tries to threaten, tell him, "Jesus died so that l can live". It is because of Jesus' love for me that l know l can never be poor. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Surrender your life to Jesus and forsake all your sins if you also want to experience this special divine love.
ACTION POINT
Consider whatever challenges you are facing now and tell it, "You cannot afflict Jesus and afflict me. Jesus has paid the price for me , so get out of my life in the name of Jesus."
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jude 1- Revelation 4

HYMN 24: THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD OUR SAVIOR
1 Through the love of God our Saviour,
all will be well.
Free and changeless is his favour,
all, all is well.
Precious is the blood that healed us,
perfect is the grace that sealed us,
strong the hand stretched forth to shield us,
all must be well.
2 Though we pass through tribulation,
all will be well.
Ours is such a full salvation,
all, all is well.
Happy, still in God confiding,
fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
holy, through the Spirit’s guiding,
all must be well.
3 We expect a bright tomorrow,
all will be well.
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
'All, all is well.'
On our Father’s love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
in our living, in our dying,
all must be well.

THEME: DIVINE LOVE - II

READ: John 11:1-45

1. Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

2. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

3. Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

4. When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

5. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

7. Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

8. His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

9. Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

10. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

11. These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

12. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

13. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

14. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

15. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

16. Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

17. Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

18. Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

19. And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

20. Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

21. Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

22. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

23. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

24. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

27. She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

28. And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

29. As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

30. Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

31. The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

32. Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

33. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.

34. And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

35. Jesus wept.

36. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

37. And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

38. Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

39. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

40. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

41. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

42. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

45. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

MEMORISE
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28

MESSAGE
Divine love is good, but then, what are the benefits of being loved by God? Let us use Lazarus as a case study.

Lazarus was sick and his sisters sent to Jesus saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. Jesus loved Lazarus and it was obvious to everyone, but what was His reply?

“When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.”
John 11:4

When God falls in love with you, every challenge you face will lead to a testimony.

The day you
discover that you are beloved of God, you can begin to rejoice because each time a challenge comes, God is going to bring a testimony out of it for you.

In fact, the greater the problem, the greater should be your rejoicing.

For those who God loves, He will from time to time give them a new testimony, and you cannot have a new testimony except you have a new problem.

A testimony is the result of a problem that is miraculously solved. That is why when I face challenges, I rejoice.

I rejoice because a new
challenge means a new testimony is on the way. In fact, those of us who are convinced beyond any doubt that He loves us look forward to challenges because we know that, with every challenge, there would be a miracle around the corner.

Do you believe that God loves you? If you do, why do you worry so much about the challenges facing you? Why do you lose sleep over something that He has already decided to use to bring glory to His name? Beloved of God, don't worry yourself unnecessarily.

You can relax, God is planning to use your story to show the whole world how great He is.

You just ensure that you dont do anything to make Him change His mind about loving you, then leave the rest to Him. He will shock your enemies.

KEY POINT
New challenges mean new testimonies for God's beloved.

HYMN 27: WHEN UPON LIFE’S BILLOWS YOU ARE TEMPEST TOSSED.

1. When upon life’s billows you are
tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking
all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name
them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord
hath done.

CHORUS
Count your blessings,
name them one by one;
Count your blessings,
see what God hath done;
Count your blessings,
name them one by one;
And it will surprise you
what the Lord hath done.

2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to
bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will
fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

3. When you look at others with their lands
and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His
wealth untold;
Count your many blessings, money cannot
buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on
high.

4. So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will
attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s
end

THEME: THE YOKE IS BROKEN

MEMORISE: For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. Nahum 1:13

READ: Isaiah 10:27
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

MESSAGE

A yoke is something placed around the neck of an animal to control and restrict its movement. There are many people walking around with heavy yokes placed on their necks by the devil. Today, any yoke that the devil has placed on you will be broken in Jesus' name. The concluding part of Isaiah 10:27 says "...and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing."

Since anointing can be passed through radiation, today by the special grace of God, anointing is going to be passing from this devotional to you and that anointing will break every yoke in your life in Jesus' name. In Judges 6:3-6, we see the people of Israel suffering under the financial yoke of poverty. They planted seeds and nurtured them until it was harvest, but all were forcefully stolen from them by their enemies, until the Lord delivered them from the yoke through Gideon.

Several years ago, a song was recorded about a notorious robber called Anikura in Lagos. Anikura ensured that after people had made profits from their sales in the market, such gains didn't make it home with them. This is the case of some people today: they work hard and make money, but somehow, the money disappears from their hands and they cannot point to one beneficial thing they used it for. I decree into your life today: every yoke of poverty that has restricted your growth financially is broken in Jeus' name.

For some ladies, the devil has put a marital yoke on them. I say that yoke is broken now in Jesus' name. Some are married, but all efforts to have children have proven abortive. I decree that in nine months from now, people will celebrate the naming of your baby with you in Jesus' name. For some, the devil placed a yoke on their brain no matter how hard they cannot pass exams and move forward academically. I decree this moment that any yoke placed on you be broken now in Jesus' name. It is the anointing that breaks yokes. You get this anointing when you spend quality time with God - when you study your Bible without being in a hurry, when you spend time in prayers without looking at your wristwatch. The more time you spend with God, the more His power rubs off on you and every yoke will be broken from your-life.

ACTION POINT
Spend quality time fellowshipping with God daily and no yoke will be able to withstand His anointing upon you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 20-22

HYMN 12: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE
1 My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine.
Now hear me while I pray;
take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
be wholly thine!

2 May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart;
my zeal inspire!
As thou hast died for me,
oh, may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire!

3 While life's dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide.
Bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.

4 When ends life's transient dream,
when death's cold, sullen stream
shall o'er me roll,
blest Savior, then, in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul!

THEME: WHAT IS YOUR MEAT?


MEMORIZE:
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
John 4:34

BIBLE READING:
LUKE 2:40-49

40. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

41. Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

42. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

43. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

44. But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

45. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.

46. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

47. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

48. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

49. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?

MESSAGE
How I wish that men would know the purpose of God for their lives and run with it with so much vigour that it becomes like food to them.

I don’t know what I will be doing on this earth if I am not fulfilling the purpose for which He brought me into this world. Jesus Christ said in our memory verse today that His food is to do Gods will.

If you have not asked God why He sent you to this world, please ensure that you do so today and don’t stop asking until you get a clear answer. If you are determined to ensure that His purpose for bringing you into this world is fulfilled then it will show in the choices you make.

If you are so focused on doing His will that it is like food to you, you will make some very bold choices in order to fulfil that purpose.

When I made the choice of leaving my job as a lecturer to become a full-time Pastor over a Church that could barely pay me any salary, people said i was crazy, but the will of the One who sent me was my meat so I never turned back.

Now that Gods will is coming to pass and His glory is beginning to shine, those people who thought I was crazy are now glorifying God for my life.

Jesus Christ did not only say that His meat is to do the will of the Father, but also to finish the Father’s work.

Some start off doing the will of the Father, but along the way that zeal wanes. They find meat in something else other than the will of God. The reason for this is that the sent has lost touch with the sender.

I pray that God will give you the grace to finish strong in Jesus name.

If you are still very much in touch with the one who sent you to this world, in the middle of your conversations, He will keep encouraging you and restating His will for you.

You will come out of every encounter with Him with a determination to do more for Him.

The will of God for my life has remained my meat for over 40 years now. He keeps showing me new dimensions of His will.

Whenever He tells me something new, my strength is renewed and I can move on. If you remain in touch with the One who has sent you, He will give you the grace to finish His work.

REFLECTION:
Are you so passionate about God's will for your life that it is as essential as food is to your survival?

HYMN 8: I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY.

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

CHORUS
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table-land;
Where love, and joy, and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise, and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those
abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found,
By those who dwell on higher ground.

4. I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song, while climbing, shall resound,
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

5. Lord, lead me up the mountain side
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And, heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.

THEME: WHEN GOD LAUGHS

MEMORISE: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Psalms 2:4

READ: Psalms 2:1 -4
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

MESSAGE

When God laughs, two things are about to happen. The first is that His child or children are about to, laugh at their enemies. The second is that the enemies of His children are about to be disgraced. From the Bible reading the Kings came together against the Lord and His anointed, saying they wanted to break their bands asunder and cast away their cords. We get an idea of which bands they were talking about in Matthewn11:29:
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for l am lowly in heartache:"and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

They see the word of God as bands. They see His ways as cords binding them. They see Him and His anointed as people restricting them from living freely and doing whatever they like, and so, they begin to bring up laws and various agenda just to oppose the ways so the Lord. God said He will laugh at them. Several governments in our world today want to legitimize same s*x marriages, justify killing babies in the womb, do whatever they like and sear the people conscience against he word of God. They may seem to be happy and doing well, but when God decides to laugh at them, they will be in derision (Psalm 2:1-4).

No matter what you do, you cannot be greater than God. You either bow to Him willingly, or you vow in shame. You cannot come against Him or His children and go picot free, you would be ashamed at the end of the day. When He laughs at a person's schemes, it means He is about to take action and it is His children that will come out on the winning side.

Even if a person lives outside His restrictions and appears to be enjoying himself or herself, at the very end the lake of fire will be waiting for such a fellow. Stop trying to break His bands of you, stop trying to break off the restrictions in the word of God; they are for your own good. His yoke is easy and will give you rest at the end of the day. The day of the rapture is a day of laughter for God. If you discipline yourself to live according to His will now, you will be laughing with Him on that day , but if you decide to live the way you like now, it will be a day of mockery for you. Which do you choose?

REFLECTION
When God laughs at His enemies, will you be on the winning side or the losing side?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 14-16

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 17: O LORD MY GOD, WHEN I IN AWESOME WONDER
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
consider all the works thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
thy power throughout the universe displayed;

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
how great thou art, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
how great thou art, how great thou art!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander
and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:
Then sings my soul…

And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,
sent him to die – I scarce can take it in
that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
he bled and died to take away my sin:
Then sings my soul…

When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
and take me home – what joy shall fill my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration
and there proclaim, ‘my God, how great thou art!’
Then sings my soul…

THEME: WHEN GOD BRAGS

MEMORISE: I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: Isaiah 45:5

READ: Romans 9:17 -24
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

MESSAGE

Once in a while, God likes to brag. At such times, you would hear Him say things like:

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; l am the first, and l am the last; and beside me there is no God
Isaiah 44:6

Whenever God brags, it is because He want to teach someone or a group of people a lesson. God was going to deal with Pharaoh normally, sending Moses to him to free His people, but the king challenge the Almighty God in Exodus 5:2 and the Lord hardened his heart. This led to the destruction of Pharaoh and his army without God lifting a sword. This incident made every nation fear the God of the Israelites.

God still brags today. If anyone or nation tries to belittle Him, He still shows them that He is the Almighty, that He still sitting on His throne.

Some years ago, my children were organizing a programme to dedicate a new Church building in a foreign country and l was to preach there. When they applied for permission to hold the programme, a government official decided to do everything he could to ensure that it wouldn't hold. When it was close to the set date, this government official tripped while trying to, put on his trousers and landed in the hospital. He eventually died with the two legs still in one trouser hole. The man himself dug his own grave when he decided to contend with God and the Lord showed His greatness through him.

I recall another incident that occurred in a town in Nigeria. The king of the tow had given his life to Christ, so he made a decree that they would no longer hold a particular festival in which they worshipped idols. The chief priest got angry at this decree and decided to hold the festival. One week to the festival, he died. The person appointed in his place wanted to go ahead with the festival but also died a week to the new date. When they appointed someone else to take his place, that one obeyed the king's order and said, "l don't want the God of the king to kill me". If you want to live long, don't challenge the Almighty God, because He will use you to teach others lesson.

KEY POINT
Anyone who challenges God and refuses to repent will end up as lesson to others.

HYMN 19: O WORSHIP THE KING ALL GLORIOUS ABOVE
1 O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his power and his love:
our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail.
Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love,
whom angels delight to worship above!
Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze,
in true adoration shall sing to your praise!

READ: Psalm 29:3-11 (KJV)

3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

MESSAGE:
When someone speaks, the weight of his or her words is determined by the power the person wields. If the pastor of your Church comes on the altar and says, "Brethren, tomorrow, we are all to observe a fast, and then we will meet here to pray in the evening", most members of the congregation would fast and meet to pray. However, if the Pastor's maid were to say the same thing, it would be a joking matter. Now because my Daddy is the Almighty, because He is the One who is greater than the greatest, when He speaks the heavens and the earth tremble (Joel 3:16) and not a word from His mouth ever returns to Him without it coming to pass (Isaiah 55:11). This is why I pray for you; the Lord will speak good things concerning you today, in Jesus' name.

When you look at the whole of creation, then you remember that in Genesis 1, it is recorded that all these things were made just by Someone speaking, you would understand how potent the words of God are. His words are so potent that once He says something, it is as good as done. If you have a problem that has defied all solutions, what you need is a word from God. If He says you are healed, then you are healed indeed. A few years ago, I went to minister in Canada, and there was a woman in the congregation who had been bleeding non-stop for years. While I was preaching, God spoke. He said the fellow concerned would understand, that I should tell the person that the bleeding had stopped. She heard the word, jumped for joy, ran to the toilet and discovered that not only had the bleeding stopped, but even the sanitary pad that was wet before had become completely dry.

I stand on the authority of the Most High God to say that every problem that has been bringing you shame shall disappear today in Jesus' name. Every sickness that is threatening your life is healed now in Jesus' name. That problem in your family that has lingered from generation to generation comes to an end now in Jesus' name.

The Lord has said many things in the Bible that are peculiar to your situation, as a child of God. Meditate on these words and act on them; you will see them manifesting in your life in Jesus' name. There is nothing that can resist the word of the Lord over your life, nothing whatsoever!

ACTION POINT:
Locate the words of God that speak to your situation in the Bible; meditate on them, pray with them and begin to act on them.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 3 - 8

AUTHOR: PASTOR E A ADEBOYE

HYMNAL: 19 - O WORSHIP THE KING

1 O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his power and his love:
our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail.
Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love,
whom angels delight to worship above!
Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze,
in true adoration shall sing to your praise!
