Theme: Prepare For Greatness
Proverbs 10:1-9

The key word in our reading today appears to be in verse 4 which says “he becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.”

If diligence is what makes people rich, isn’t it an irony that today, people want to be rich, yet they do not want to work, nor do they want to be diligent in service. Let no one deceive you, the days in which people lived by gathering and eating manna for which they did not labor re far behind us. The bible actually commands that anyone who void work should not eat (children and the incapacitated being the only exceptions).

“For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: if anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread” (2 Thesss,3:10-11).
You must prepare yourself to be able to do diligent work and render excellent service. You must submit yourself to the discipline of training and personal capacity development. Abraham Lincoln shows one way to do this. He said “give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first hour sharpening the axe.”

In today’s highly dynamic and competitive world, you cannot afford to tackle your daily duties with a dull axe, whatever those duties may be.

PRAYER:
Ask God to provide help for the numerous
unemployed persons that are downcast.

Pray for healing of personal and national economy.

Pray that God will direct the leaders in the church and in Government.

CONFESSION:
I am blessed and the works of my hands are blessed. Whatever I lay my hand to do prospers.

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression. This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
