Thursday 13th February, 2020 Topic: The mighty also fall. Text: 2 Samuel 1:17 - 27 Golden Text: " How the mighty have fallen in battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights It is a proper thing to write tribute on condolence book of a friend or a loved one. This tribute usually reflect admiration, respect, praise and great impact such people make in our lives. David in his own time compose a short poem otherwise known as ode to show his respect, love and great admiration for Saul and his friend Jonathan.In this poem we discovered that Jonathan was a great warrior,  skillful in the use of arms and specially trained at fighting on high places such as hills, mountains, he won great battles on the hills but the mystery about his death was that he was killed in his area of expertise and specialization. No matter how mighty a man a may be he will definitely fall without God the giver of strength and power. Your knowledge, strength, power, fame, wealth will fail you on the day of tr...

Wednesday 12th February, 2020 Watch and Pray Text: Matthew 26:36-44 Memory verse: watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak. Matthew 26:41   The final moment of a man is very important because he have seen the end. Certain words will come from his mouth because  he is seeing what others are not seeing. During the last moment of Jesus with his disciples at the garden of Gethsemane, he settled it all on the knees to the extent that his sweat was like drops of  blood falling on the ground but his disciples were sleeping. The disciples were sleeping because they did not see what Jesus was seeing. This prompted Jesus to say watch and pray... Jesus saw trials that awaited him, he saw the pains and burden of sin he had to take, he saw the crucifixion, he saw the agonies, he was almost giving up to the flesh but on his knees his spirit man was strengthen to move on with courage. Jesus was able to see because he w...

Monday 9th March 2020 Topic: Do not be greedy. Text: Genesis 13:1-18 Golden Text: Gen 13:11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. Gen 13:11      A greedy person always want the best and all for himself alone without considering others. In the dictionary of a greedy man only "I" alone is there. Abraham gave up his right so that there could be peace. whatever Lot was, Abraham made him yet he was humble enough to give Lot the privilege to choose first but the greediness in Lot raised it's head  and he chose the best for himself not thinking of his Uncle and his Uncle accepted it. God saw all these, he moved in and told Abraham to look, Lot was only seeing things appealing to his physical eyes and with his limited understanding he chose what seemed best to him. Abraham looked and God told him that as far as he could see has been given to him.         When you are greedy,you have shut the door of God's...

Sunday 8th March 2020 Text: Genesis 12:10-20 Topic: When the going gets tough Golden Text: Now there was a famine in the Land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.        There is a saying that when the going gets tough, it is only the the tough that gets going. And also tough times never last but tough people do. Being in God's will does not mean you will not face difficult times. obedience to God does not mean you will not experience troubles and pains. some believe that when you are passing through difficult times, it means that you are not in God's will for your life. This assertion is not always true.        Abraham obeyed God, he was in Cannan , famine struck there and Abraham went to Egypt which eventually added more sorrows into his life.      When the going gets tough, do not quit, gets tough in the word of God and keeps going. Hard times prove whether you are a Christi...

Saturday 7th March 2020 Text: Genesis 12:1-9 Topic: Let God pilot your Life. Golden Text: The Lord said to Abraham, leave your country,your people and your father's household and go to the land that I will show you. Genesis 12:1   No matter how good a aircraft may be, it still requires a pilot to fly it. without a pilot in control, it would either fly uselessly in a straight line or spiral out of control. Either of the way a devastating crash is inevitable.      God has created us with more technicalities and complexities much more greater than the best aircraft in the world. we cannot afford to live our lives as we want without knowing the one who created us and follow his instructions. if there is anything humans dislike is to be controlled. man always want to exercise his free will.     To journey in this world successfully you have to submit yourself to God and allow him to pilot you through this life or else a crash would be inevitable. God's ins...

Friday 6th March 2020 Topic: The power of unity. Text: Genesis 11:1-9 Golden text: ..then nothing they plan would be impossible for them Gen 11:6   unity is one, to be unified is to speak one language. To be unified is to have one mind and one vision.    The power of unity is found in oneness, God knew this and that was why he stopped the people who were building a tower that would reach heaven. our unity lies in coming together as one with one mind and one voice so that we can accomplish the great commission. The church is divided and it is becoming difficult to pull down the gates of hell because we have refused to maximize the power in unity.   Let us come together in unity and win the world for Christ,there is little a denomination or group can do but we can accomplish greater things for Christ if we can come together as one in Christ. Prayer: Father make your church one as you are one in Jesus name.

Tuesday 10th March 2020 Topic: Have a large heart. Text Genesis 14:13-16 Golden Text: one who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Genesis 14:13    To have a large heart is the ability to accommodate both good and bad people.It is also the ability to easily forgive people and not taking revenge. Abram got the news that his nephew had been dispossessed of all that he had laboured for. This was the Nephew that took the best land for himself,he could have said that served him right but on the contrary Abram set out with his armed men to recover all that has been dispossessed from his nephew. This virtue is rare, God want us to have  large heart to all and we should not mock people that have done us wrong when evil befall them but we should rather assist them. This act will portray us as children of God. prayer: Lord Give me a large heart to accommodate all in Jesus name.
