2016
Memorise: And such as do wickedly against the
covenant shall he corrupt by
flatteries: but the people that do know their Godshall be strong, and do exploits. Daniel 11:32
Read: 1st
Kings 18:21-24, 21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long
halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be
God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not
a word.
22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain
a prophet of the Lord; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them
choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood,
and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood,
and put no fire under:
24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on
the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And
all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
Bible in one year: Luke 12:35-14:24, Job 26
It
is common amongst Christians to tell stories of our lifestyle before we became
acquainted with the true God. Many confess being in bondage to various gods who
ruled over them with an iron fist, through the observance of ridiculously
expensive practices in terms of time and money. These gods include expensive
lifestyles, unnecessarily plentiful entertainment, un-godly fashion, wasteful
pastimes, membership of exclusive clubs and fraternities, etc. Furthermore, some were overcome by addiction
and therefore were ruled by alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, smoking, nightlife
and other dangerous habits. Worse still, many were enslaved to ideologies,
taboos, cultism, idols, and demonic spirits. These gods exert their influence
on people in different ways, as a result of which many fall into diverse sins,
disappointments, stagnancy, sickness, demonic possession, fruitlessness,
indebtedness, bankruptcy, failure, and death. Job 5:7 says, “man is born unto trouble”
and Job 14:1 says: “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of
trouble.” I prophecy to anyone that is facing one trouble or the other in this
world, God will show mercy and deliver you today in the name of Jesus.
The
Almighty God is fully aware of human helplessness in circumstances of life,
therefore, out of love, He offered Jesus as a remedy to anyone that will accept
Him as Lord and Saviour. This is the essence of the declaration of Jesus in
Matthew 11:28&30 that says:
“Come unto me, all ye that labour
and are heavy laden and I will give you rest… For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.”
This
passage is an open invitation to anyone that is labouring under the heavy yoke
of the devil, anyone that is oppressed or in servitude, anyone experiencing
stagnancy or fruitlessness, and anyone that needs physical, mental, or
spiritual healing. Jesus says, “come unto me and I will give you rest from all
your troubles.” Come to Jesus today for deliverance from the strong hold of
sin, addition and all forms of immorality. Come to Jesus and He will put an end
to your mysteries, disappointments and failures. Come to Jesus and He will turn
your sorrows to joy.
Knowing the true God
therefore translates to salvation from sin and deliverance from evil. It is not
burdensome at all because the relationship is based on the love of God.
Everything depends on a sincerity to accept the reality of your situation and
ask God for help. First, you must accept Jesus as your personal Lord and
Saviour, after which you must vow to walk away from your sinful lifestyles and
embrace a life of holiness. From this moment, the abundant blessings of the
Lord will begin to pour into your life without measure in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, please let me begin to enjoy the
blessings of knowing you in Jesus’ name.
