Theme: Bring Out The Treasure In You 2 Cor. 4:1-7 One of the greatest mistakes you will ever make is to think that the present situation of your life is all that God has planned for you. Whether you are doing very well already, or you are barely managing to scratch out a living, God has made amazing provisions for you that you are yet to open up and tap into. His word in Jeremiah 29:11 remains ever true, and that word is delivered directly to you.  “For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” God has made great plans for your life and you must continue to look up to Him in hope to bring His promises to pass. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” His view is also shared by Harriet Tubman who said, “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and...

Theme: Perfection: Not Optional Memorise: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48 Read: Genesis 17:1-7 1: And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 2: And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 4: As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5: Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 6: And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7: And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. Mes...

Theme: Never Give Up To Soon ANCHOR TEXT: “Yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually wear me out with her coming!” Luke 18:5. A little boy was learning how to skate (sliding by the aid of special shoes in snow). His frequent falls provoked the pity of a passerby who said: ‘John, you are getting all banged up. Why don’t you drop it?’ With tears rolling down his cheeks from his last fall, he looked up into the eyes of the adviser and said: ‘Mister, I did not get these skating shoes to give up with, I got them to learn how with’. The uninvited passerby quickly hurried away. My beloved reader, giving up too soon because of adversities will add your name to the list of failures. Your destiny is too great to be lost to impatience. According to today’s scripture, did the wicked judge not bow to the stubborn determination of that widow? Was the widow not going through serious problems like yours? What makes you think your ca...

Theme: Joint-Heir, Joint Sufferer Memorise: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. 2 Timothy 2:12 Read: Matthew 15:22-28 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very ho...

Theme: Creating the way God does Psalms 33:1-9  In the challenging times that nations of the earth are passing through, the people that are equipped to provide answers to the numerous prayers that are being lifted to heaven are the ones that are functioning in the Dominion Mandate.  To create the answers to needs of communities, states, regions and nations, you need to understand how God, your father, creates; then you can begin to create likewise. The first thing God does inn the creation process is to see clearly what he wants to create. That is why he create light for vision, wisdom, revelation and insight before he created anything else (Gen, 1:1-3). With this mental picture, he then began to call forth the things he wanted. Two processes were involved while God was creating in Genesis chapter 1. First is the process of creating something from nothing.  This is done when something that never existed is spoken into existence in the tangible, spirit...

Theme: Provoked? Just Smile ANCHOR TEXT: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness” Galatians 5:22. An American man walked into a London restaurant; as soon as he entered, he noticed an African man sitting in a corner. So he walked over to the counter, removed his wallet and shouted, ‘Waiter! I am buying food for everyone in this restaurant, except that black African idiot guy over there!’ So, the waiter collected the money from the man and began serving food to everyone in the restaurant, except the African. However, instead of becoming upset, the African simply looked up, smiled at the American and shouted, ‘Thank you!’ That infuriated the man. So, once again, the American took out his wallet and shouted, ‘Waiter! This time I am buying bottles of wine and additional food for everyone in this bar, except that African idiot sitting in the corner over there! So, the waiter did as directed to everyone in the bar except ...

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...
