THEME: GOD DETERMINES THE NEXT STEP ANCHOR TEXT: “And David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue” 1 Samuel 30:8. What did you do when your well-planned goals begin to crumble? Did you talk to God or blame Him for your circumstance? There is always the next step after taken a step. That next step can only be determined by God. When last did you hear God’s voice? If you have ever burnt your fingers or regretted your actions, or possibly strayed into errors, take your time to check back the instruction that informed such erroneous step you took. Was it from God, self or fellow human beings? You might have prayed, fasted and possibly done all, but there is a need to wait to hear God’s voice, because His voice determines the next step. The next productive and successful step David took after the depressive loss and humiliation he suffered was informed by

When we feel emotionally threatened in our marriage, we can build walls, too. Not physical walls, but relational walls that are expressed in body language, words and attitudes that help us feel safe. The problem is that those walls don't allow our spouse into the deepest parts of our hearts and minds, and the emotional distance can cause problems. What you might see. When your spouse feels threatened, he or she may appear confrontational or argumentative. He or she might build a wall by belittling you, using sarcasm, criticizing or becoming verbally defensive. Some people are aggressive and jealous. They often appear controlling, domineering and selfish. What you might feel. Your response to any of the actions above may be feelings of loss, hurt or anger. If your spouse is working lots of extra hours or overindulging in a hobby, you could feel that your relationship lacks intimacy or friendship. When your spouse is emotionally checked out or withdrawn and prone to stonewallin

  THEME : RECOVER YOUR STOLEN BLESSINGS  Memorise;  Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear  him. Psalm 103:13 Read: 2nd Chronicles 7:12-14 12 And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

God has been so gracious to us on many occasions. He will not always punish us without showing mercy, even when it is glaring that we d

THEME: Only speak the word Matthew 8:1-10 Are you among the Christians that pray the kind of prayer the leper prayed in today’s passage. He said to Jesus, “lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean”.to this question Jesus replied, “I am willing, be cleansed.” Immediately, the man’s leprosy was cleansed. Are you saying to the lord and master, if you are willing, “if you are willing, you can heal my disease; if you are willing, you can make me to prosper; if you are willing you can make me live above sin and immorality.” His answer to you is exactly the same as He gave to the leper; “I am willing, be made whole”. The willingness of Christ to help you overcome your challenges should never be in doubt. The reason for his death on the cross was to redeem you from the devil’s capacity and empower you to overcome sin, sickness and poverty. If you have received salvation and redemption from the wicked clutches of sin, sickness and poverty. Not only have you been restored, he has
