Bogey Of Eternal Security ~ Pastor William Kumuyi

Topic: Bogey Of Eternal Security [December 23, 2016]

Text: Jeremiah 11:15-23

Key Verse: “Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daugh- ters shall die by famine” (Jeremiah 11:22).

Those who can rightly claim to be God’s children are those who fear Him and do His will always. Those who selectively obey Him can never be reckoned as His Children. In verse 15 of our text, God wonders why those who call themselves His beloved would associate with lewdness, interpreted as spiritual fornication, with the heathen. Their purity had deserted them as a result of their affinity with evil people.

A Christian can not declare the law and expect its blessedness if he is not keeping the law. He is at best a nominal Christian, denied the power and guidance of the holy spirit as a result of his compromise. In our passage, Israel is also described as having left its former state. The nation was compared to a fine-looking olive tree. But she mingled with corrupt neighbouring nations and stopped being productive. No spiritual fruit was produced again from the tree. It should be uprooted and destroyed according to the ruling of the Almighty. If a person is saved, he must stay under the canopy of the blood- marked environment of holiness.

As the children of Israel in Egypt were asked to stay indoors after sprinkling the lamb’s blood on their door posts to escape the wrath of the destroyer or forfeit the protection of God, so the Christian can only be secure if he abides in the Lord. Two lessons stand out: The doctrine of eternal security is erroneous. Secondly the true faithful, committed and fearless preacher of the truth of the gospel can never be silent. Stand on the side of the righteous. Faithfully profess the Word and live the life of righteousness. Be earnest in avoiding the ranks of those who selectively serve God, who foolishly believe that God will always wink at their iniquities. They will be shocked in the end.

Thought for the day: God hastens His word in the mouth of His true servants.

Where Your Treasure Is ~ Pastor E.A Adeboye

Topic: Where Your Treasure Is [Friday 23, December 2016]

Memorise: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. – Matthew 6:21

Read: Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV)

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Bible in One Year: Leviticus 20:1-22:16, Psalms 131-132

MESSAGE:

Treasures are highly valued objects or accumulated riches. Physical treasure has at best only short-term benefits and is capable of opening up the owner to various physical and spiritual dangers. However, spiritual treasure is of eternal value and comes from knowing and serving God. The Bible encourages Christians to save for the future and expects good parents to keep an inheritance for their children. It is also desirable to invest wisely. By the special grace of God, these processes could lead to a huge accumulation of wealth. The focus however is not the wealth but the mindset and attitude of the owner.Matthew 6:20 says,

“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:”

The problem is that wealthy people are familiar with how to make earthly investment and acquire earthy treasures, but only a few of them have the understanding of what it means to lay-up treasures in Heaven or how to go about it. The Bible recorded an encounter between Jesus and a very rich ruler with a similar challenge in Luke 18:15-25. Luke 18:22 says,

“Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven….”

The solution that Jesus offered is simple, if you want to have treasures in Heaven and you have earthly wealth, sow a bulk of it into the lives of the poor. If you go the extra mile to enrich the poor, you will have treasures in Heaven. Your wealth or possessions on their own are worth nothing to God, except they are converted into something of value that promotes the work of God, or affects the lives of others for good. If you use your wealth to promote the gospel or you meet needs with it, you will reap the harvests in Heaven because the principle of sowing and reaping applies there. A way to be rich in Heaven is to be rich in good works (1 Timothy 6:16). Use your wealth to better other people’s life, no rich Christian Brother or Sister has a reason to be poor in Heaven. No poor believer should also be poor in Heaven. You are the one to take the decision that will positively impact your eternity. Invest in the work of God by promoting the Gospel and sow bountifully into the lives of the poor.

Prayer Point: Father, please help me lay up heavenly treasure more than earthly treasure.

The Key To Happiness ~ Joyce Meyer

Topic: The Key To Happiness [December 22, 2016]

External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world. — James 1:27

I went to church for thirty years without ever hearing one sermon on my biblical responsibility to care for orphans, widows, the poor, and the oppressed. I was shocked when I finally realized how much of the Bible is about helping other people. I spent most of my Christian life thinking the Bible was about how God could help me. It’s no wonder I was unhappy.

The key to happiness isn’t only in being loved; it is also in having someone to love. If you really want to be happy, find somebody to love. If you want to put a smile on God’s face, then find a person who is hurting and help them.

Be determined to help someone. Be creative! Lead a revolt against living in a religious rut where you go to church and go home and go back to church, but you’re not really helping anybody. Don’t just sit in church pews and sing hymns. Get involved in helping people who are hurting.

Remember the words of Jesus:

“I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’

“Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’” (Matthew 25:42-45 NKJV)

Trust in Him: Are you ministering to Jesus? Jesus said ministering to others ministers to Him. Trust His life on earth to be an example of how you should live your life—going about doing good for others in need.

Your Presence Means Blessings ~ Pastor Chris Oyakilome

pastor-chris-oyakhilome

Topic: Your Presence Means Blessings [Thursday, December 22nd]

And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian (Genesis 39:2).

As a Christian, no matter what happens around you, refuse to fret, fear or be discouraged, because you’re the seed of Abraham. Always choose to see things from that perspective. You might say, “But I’m going through difficult times right now; I even just lost my job.” Still, refuse to be discouraged or dismayed. In fact, if you’d only see from the perspective of who you really are in Christ, you’d realise that you didn’t lose your job; the organisation probably lost you!

You’re a treasure, a gem, a star, and a champion! Your presence anywhere means blessings, because you’re the blessed of the Lord! You own the world. Your potentials, abilities, and wisdom are limitless! Your presence in an organisation means blessings for the organisation and everyone in that organisation.

Now, this isn’t for the guy who’s ineffective at work and gets laid-off; no; I’m talking about Abraham’s seed! Abraham’s seed is effective; he’s fruitful and productive in every good work. Whatever he does prospers; that’s his heritage. This is how you must think. Consider Joseph, even though he had been sold into slavery, falsely accused and imprisoned, he was still a blessing, so much so that he was placed in charge of all the other prisoners. Prior to that, as a slave in Potiphar’s house, Potiphar recognised that God blessed him because of Joseph, and made Joseph the overseer of his entire estate.

You’re blessed and you carry the blessing. Where you go, God goes; what and whom you bless, is blessed. Because of you, your school, neighbourhood, city or country is blessed. Recall God’s Word to Abraham, “…and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 26:4). That’s exactly what we do; we convey and distribute blessings. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for blessing me and making me a blessing. You’ve made me prosperous and effective; a blessing to this world, and a dispenser and distributor of your righteousness, love, kindness and goodness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study: || Genesis 30:27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake. ||

|| Genesis 39:5 And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. ||

Topic: You Must Recognize Opportunity For Your Dream To Manifest [December 22, 2016]

Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressor is hard,” (Proverb 13:15)

I want you to realize that if you must succeed in life, you must be able to recognize opportunity. The Bible says, good understanding giveth favour…The word “understanding” comes from a word that means “to  have the ability to analyze information correctly will definitely enable or empower you to recognize opportunity to realize your dreams.

Every information God allows you to get is for a purpose. God wants you to use it to do something in your life. You need good understanding, no wonder the bible says, (Prov.4:7), “wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: with all thy getting get understanding.” When you recognize your opportunity, it will bring your dream to pass and your dream will carry you on the wings of success; and out of your success in the midst of a dark world, you will begin to shine. The Bible says (Isa. 60:2), “For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people:  but the lord shall rise upon thee.” Mary and joseph were in Bethlehem. When she suddenly fell into labour pains and they hurried to an Inn. The Bible says she put to bed in a manger… because there was no room for them in the inn (Luke 2:27). It is very possible that the inn keeper had been praying for a breakthrough for his dreams to come to pass. Now, God came to his inn and this keeper did not know the God he had he praying to, was visiting him.

He did not recognize his opportunity, was the inn the only one in the whole place? Why did Mary and Joseph choose to go to that particular inn? I can imagine Mary in pains and leading with the inn keeper.” Please help me.” Marry was carrying the son of God and the inn keeper said, “No room!” May the Lord open your spiritual eyes; enlighten your understanding, that you may recognize your opportunities, in Jesus name.

FURTHER READING: Proverbs 16:22, Proverbs 24:3

PRAYER/CONFESSION: I pray opportunity will no longer pass me by. God will reveal my gate of opportunity to me in the name of Jesus. Amen!

WORDS OF WISDOM: For your dream to succeed you must be able to analyze information.

Don’t Just Sit There…Arise! ~ Kenneth Copeland

Topic: Don’t Just Sit There…Arise! [December 22, 2016]

Now four men who were lepers were at the entrance of the city’s gate; and they said to one another, Why do we sit here until we die…. So they arose. – 2 Kings 7:3-5, The Amplified Bible

No matter how bad the problem is you may be facing today, no matter how far under the circumstances you may be, in 24 hours you can be back on top!

“Oh, Brother Copeland, that would be impossible!”

That’s what the Samaritans thought in 2 Kings 7. Their land was being ravaged by famine. Enemy troops had surrounded them and cut off all source of supply. Mothers were eating their own children just to survive.

But right in the middle of that, the Lord told the prophet Elisha that in 24 hours the whole situation would change. Flour and barley would sell for just a few pennies and there would be abundance for all.

What did God use to turn that situation around?

Four lepers! Four lepers who, instead of sitting around feeling sorry for themselves and waiting to die, decided to arise and take their chances in the enemy camp. When they got there, they found it abandoned. All the warriors had been frightened away by the angels of God, and they’d left enough food behind to feed all of Samaria!

Sometimes you and I are like the officials in that story. We get problem centered instead of Word-of-God centered. We let ourselves be so surrounded with the loud voice of the world that the vision of our victory is pushed out of sight.

When that happens, faith and power begin to subside and life caves in on us from every side.

If that’s happened to you, stop crying about it. Stop looking at your problem and feeling sorry for yourself. That won’t change anything!

Just like He did for Elisha, God’s given you a word. He’s promised you victory. He’s promised to make you an overcomer.

So don’t just sit there till you die. Don’t accept defeat. Rise up in faith. Stand up on God’s Word and fight for your life. Get mad at Satan. Cast him out. Get mad at that sickness. Get angry with poverty and start giving.

Rise up and receive the deliverance of the Lord!

One Good Turn Deserves Another ~ Pastor William Kumuyi

Topic: One Good Turn Deserves Another [December 22, 2016]

Text: Deuteronomy 10:12-22

Key Verse: “And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul” (Deuteronomy 10:12).

The importance of Deuteronomy in the Holy Scriptures is gleaned from the fact that it is quoted about eighty five times in the New Testament. The chief reason is its being the nutshell of laws God gave to the children of Israel in their forty years of wandering in the wilderness as they headed for the Promised Land.

If the book is Moses’ parting address to the Israelites as they prepared to enter Canaan without him, it is also God’s reassuring recollection of His laws which constitute life, comfort and spiritual food to the soul if adhered to. Either way, the book is unique as the last of Moses’ five books. God summarises His demand from an Israel without Moses in the land flowing with milk and honey. They were not to lose their senses over this material blessing God is giving them. But only a purged heart can do so.

Circumcision is beyond what the eyes see. Purity of the heart is what the Lord Himself does to clean up saved souls and wash it from carnal deeds. Like salvation, it is not by work; it is a work of grace. When accomplished, it makes the soul submissive for service to God. Among the sinful habits that disappear when circumcision takes place is the stiff-necked nature. We cannot love God absolutely or serve Him sacrificially until every residue of iniquity has been purified. God’s desire is that we live a truly victorious life free of sin, either inbred or Adamic.

Mercifully, God has provided for a believer’s entire sanctification in Christ’s substitutionary atonement. Let us heed Hosea’s counsel to “break up [our] fallow ground…till he come and rain righteousness upon us” (Hosea 10:12).

Thought for the day: It is God’s laws that guide the steps of the pilgrim.

He Knows His Sheep ~ Pastor E.A Adeboye

open-heaven-2016

Topic: He Knows His Sheep [Thursday 22, December 2016]

Memorise: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. – John 14:6

Read: John 10:25-29 (KJV)

25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

Bible in One Year: Leviticus 17-19, Psalms 129-130

MESSAGE:

The Bible in several passages referred to God as the good Shepherd, but in the book of John 10:14, Jesus boldly declared, “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.” Also in John 10:27, God says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”. The Lord is omniscient, He is all knowing, nothing is hidden from His sight, and He therefore has a very good knowledge of the identity of all human beings. Furthermore, 2 Timothy 2:19 says:

 “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

Every Christian is hereby encouraged to depart from all forms of immorality in order to benefit from the heavenly package reserved for true children of God.

Because God paid for the salvation of humanity with His Son’s Blood, Christians in the world are precious to Him. Hence, the Lord will always keep His obedient children from partaking in the judgement of sinners. An example of this is recorded in 1 Kings 14:7-16. Jeroboam was a very wicked king. He did not only sin, but caused so many to sin with him. When God pronounced judgment on him, his entire family faced extinction. He had many sons who all perished with him, but Abijah was spared because he towed the path of righteousness. When judgment is determined against families, yours will be spared in Jesus’ name. When cities and communities are to face disasters and destruction, you will be spared.

If you love to do God’s will all the time and diligently obey His voice, He will keep you from judgment. When He brought plagues of Egypt, in the land of Goshen where the Israelites lived, there was no trace of the plaques (Exodus 8:21-23). God separated His own from those who were not His. 2 Timothy 2:19 says no matter what people claim, God knows His people. Are you one of God’s sheep? It is not enough to claim to be a child of God; does God know you as His bona- fide son or daughter? If you are not sure, check your life and be reconciled to God today. If you are recognized by God, there is a hiding place reserved for you in Christ where you will not be a casualty in time of judgment. Like the psalmist, you shall only see and hear of those who are causalities but you shall never be touched (Psalms 91:7-8). Once again, are you among the faithful few?

Prayer Point: Father, please, set my prayer life on fire today in Jesus’ name.

Our Confidence In His Righteousness ~ Pastor Chris Oyakilome

pastor-chris-oyakhilome

Topic: Our Confidence In His Righteousness [Wednesday, December 21st]

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:3-4).

The Apostle Paul, prior to his conversion, prided himself as being blameless in keeping the righteousness, which is of the Law. He said, “If anyone else thinks he has reasons to have confidence in the flesh—legalistic righteousness or the righteousness which is of the Law—I have more” (Philippians 3:4). He then went ahead to enumerate his credentials: “circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless” (Philippians 3:5-6 NIV).

From the human perspective, he kept the Law perfectly, but when God showed him the imperfection of his life, he conceded that there was no use having confidence in one’s so-called good works or self-righteousness.

The Word declares that the Law made nothing perfect but the bringing in of a better hope did (Hebrews 7:19). But blessed be God! Acts 13:38-39 says, “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man (Jesus Christ) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”

Don’t try to impress God with your religious performances; don’t think the reason He’ll answer your prayers is because you haven’t done anything wrong in the last few weeks; no! He hears and answers your prayer because His righteousness has been fulfilled in Christ, and you prayed in the Name of Jesus. The summary of the Gospel is that you’re found in Christ, not having your own righteousness, but have embraced and are confident in God’s righteousness (Philippians 3:8-9).

CONFESSION

I boldly affirm that I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I don’t walk according to my senses, but according to the Spirit; for the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in me. I walk in the consciousness of my righteousness today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study: || 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ||

|| Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. ||

Resting On God’s Promises ~ Pastor William Kumuyi

Topic: Resting On God’s Promises [December 21, 2016]

 Text: Psalm 86:11-17

Key Verse: “O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid” (Psalm 86:16).

A former pilot with the Royal Air Force in the United Kingdom once stunned newspaper readers when he asserted that he would prefer to fly with a pilot who had survived an air crash to the one who had not managed an accident before. His reason? The air crash escapee is better equipped to avoid another one or handle it if it crashes again, whereas the one who hadn’t, would jeopardize the lives of passengers. The conclusion: God’s enduring blessing and teaching come through troubles and challenges.

This truth was proved many times over in the chequered life of David. In his psalms, we have a peep into the magnitude of some of his challenges as he reflected on them and sought supernatural help. The troubles that God allowed in his life drew him closer to heaven. That was not all. His life-threatening moments with his enemies led him to inspiring psalms that God has used over centuries to comfort believers and sinners alike. In verse 14, David is overwhelmed by “assemblies of violent men”. These are godless men who want to take his life.

They do not believe in the sanctity of life, even when the Lord has preserved their own lives. In the midst of such cruel people, David was not helpless. He was aware of the sovereign power capable of suppressing all other powers. He knows this power, manifesting as Jehovah God, does not shun those who come to Him in sincerity in their time of need. He does not run to man for help. Today’s world is also full of trouble which God uses to draw us closer to Him as our Lord Jesus Christ used the oasis of a frightening storm to perform the miracle of making a man to walk on water. There are always miracles bursting at the seams of challenges or troubles. All we need do is to remain calm and have faith in God, and expect “a token for good” to shame the enemy and glorify the Lord.

Thought for the day: Victory is sweet after a hard-won battle fought by God for the believer.

Topic: Fight For Your Dream [December 21, 2016]

“And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people. Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, and your wives and your houses.” (Nehemiah 4:14)

May the good Lord give you the grace, ability, strength, power, determination, weapons and enablement to fight for your dream, in Jesus name.

The battle is not a physical one but a spiritual one. As you aspire to realize your dream, the devil is desperate to stop you and you must fight back. In 2 Corinthians 10:3-4, the word of God says regarding the battle: “for though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.”

How do you fight for your dream? It is by having an accurate (not distorted) picture of what you want and praying for it. Prayer is the vehicle that will carry you from the natural into the supernatural where you will fight your battles. In other words, you fight for your dream through prayer.

I was invited to a certain church to preach on a particular Friday. Before I was given the microphone, the Pastor said he has been dreaming and praying that “one day Pastor Ayo will preach in this church.”

On that Friday, the “one day” became a reality. The pastor dreamt and fought for his dream through prayer and his dream manifested. I believe God with you that as you pray and fight for your dream, that “one day” will come to pass in your life also.

WORDS OF WISDOM: Your dream is sustained through prayers.

 

PRAYER/CONFESSION: I command right now, all those who are against my dream and destiny, fall down and die; be thou consumed by fire in the name of Jesus. Amen.
