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.

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

THEME: MAKE ROOM FOR GOD 2Corinthians 1-9 You should not be among the many that are living without the precious things God promised.The LORD Jesus Christ said in John 16:24" Until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full. In making plans for your life and your future,stop focusing attention on only what you think you can do and what your resources can carry. You will be limiting God by so doing.When you plan for only what you can achieve by your personal efforts,you exclude God's grace and weary yourself with much toiling and energy exertion.Instead,you should make room for God in every plan you make. Plan to grow bigger and better in every unfolding phase of your life. When you plan for bigger things than your known resources can carry,do so with clear understanding that only God will help you to attain your desires.This understanding drives you to your knees.As you consistently pray and hold unto God,miracle are birthed...
