SUDDEN TURN-AROUND

July 13, 2011
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Jer. 9-12
MEMORIZE: “When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.” (Ps. 126:1).

READ: 2 Kings 7:1-8

In 2 Kings 6: 24 -31, Samaria was besieged by the Syrian army and so they could not access fresh food supplies. When the food they had was exhausted, there was no way of bringing in more. As a result, the famine was rife to the point that the Israelites began to eat unclean animals and to practice cannibalism -eating fellow human beings.

But when God decided to intervene in 2 Kings 7:1-20, nothing could stop Him. Compared with other famines, it is obvious that there are different levels of famines. Some are more grievous than others.

However, from this account, we learn that no matter how terrible a famine situation is, it can be reversed within 24 hours. A song writer says, “It's always darkest before the dawn”. True. When a situation gets to unbelievable levels of severity, know that turn-around is just around the corner. Our God can turn around any famine situation.

Are you going through a famine? The Lord will turn it around suddenly. You shall go to bed and by the time you awake, the famine is no more. That famine you are experiencing shall end suddenly. You will look for its signs but there will be none. In addition, we see that the words of prophecy preceded the turn­around. This is why we should not underestimate prophetic utterances from bona fide prophets of God.

Usually, God's word of prophecy goes ahead of what God intends to do.Unfortunately, when the word of prophesy that should reverse the famine of some believers is released in a church meeting, they are not there to receive it. When you miss your word of deliverance, it is most likely that you will continue in that negative situation.

Do you know that for this reason, some people have repeatedly missed their turn-around, yet, they blame God for not answering their prayers.

This is why you must not forsake the gathering of God's people. Furthermore, God used four lepers to terminate famine in Samaria. You can never tell who God will use to terminate that famine you are experiencing. He can use those you consider useless. Nobody is useless in God's hands. This season, the Lord will turn around your famine situation.

PRAYER POINT: Thank God for adding another year to Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye. Ask for uncommon grace for uncommon success in all her assignments.
 
 

SIN STILL SEPARATES

July 12, 2011
MEMORIZE: “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” (Isa. 59:2). 

READ: Isaiah 59:1-3 

The entrance of sin into this world negatively changed everything. Worse, it separated God and man. Until the advent of sin, fear was nonexistent. Adam was happy to welcome God whenever He visited. But after sin intruded, Adam became afraid and started to hide from God. 

Even today, whenever there is sin in your life, the...

MEMORIZE: “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 10:33) 

READ: Matthew 10:32-33 

If you are running from your enemies, you are making yourself their sitting target and that, brings shame to the Almighty. In spite of the heavy presence of idolatry, to the extent that the Lord Jesus described Pergamos as Satan's headquarters, the church held fast to their faith and stood strong. Is the community you are in bewitched by the pow...

The Lord Jesus Christ was heading for Jerusalem and decided to go through Samaria and Galilee. In one of the villages leading to His destination, some 10 lepers met Him.

ENDURING FAITHFULNESS

Monday, June 27, 2011
MEMORIZE: “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” (Matt. 24:13).

READ: Matthew 24:12-13

While addressing the church in Smyrna, the Lord admonished them to be faithful till death (Rev. 2:10). Why? First, He was only asking them to follow His example. He served God faithfully and died in His prime, according to God's will and against His fleshly desire. Hebrews 5:8 says He had to learn obedience through suffering. If you do not ...

READ: Hebrew 6:9-10

Apart from the possibility of encountering an extraordinary blessing on an ordinary day, another lesson from the story of Moses recorded in Exodus 2:5-10, is that God has different ways of rewarding His own. Hebrews 6:10 says God does not forget your la...

READ: Zechariah. 4:5-8

God has revealed Himself to mankind through the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. But He did not end there. He did that so that He can also use ordinary people like you and me. When you consider this, you will find that it borde...

READ: Luke 12:42-48

Besides giving the right counsel, a wise fellow can also be identified by the kind of heart he or she has. Broadly speaking, there are two types of hearts -foolish and wise hearts. The foolish hearted are those whose hearts reject wi...

JESUS: MORE THAN A COURSE

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Exod. 21-24

MEMORIZE: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” (Matt.11:29).

READ: Philippians 3:7-11

If you are a friend of the Bridegroom, you will hear His voice. There is hardly a time you stay close to somebody without engaging in some discussion. And if you stay longer with the fellow, you will likely get to know one or two of his or her secrets, either through jokes or st...

SYMPATHY OR EMPATHY?

June 13, 2011

Monday, June 13, 2011
MEMORIZE: "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as Hebrews we are, yet without sin.” (Heb. 4:15). 

READ: 4:14-16 

When someone is going through an unpleasant, sorrowful situation, you can ignore, sympathize or empathize with him or her. The easiest of these is to ignore the person, like the priest and the Levites did to the victim of robbers in the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke...
