Topic: Peace Like A River [DCLM Daily Manna 3 March 2019 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Genesis 26:26-35 (KJV)

Key Verse: “That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD” (Genesis 26:29).

MESSAGE:

Imagine how the world would have been if every human inhabitant of it were peaceable and would go the extra mile to secure it. In such a state, there probably would be no need for the police. All the defense mechanisms and security measures that men have surrounded themselves with would have been needless. But such a world exists only in our imagination until the millennium reign of the Prince of Peace. In reality, peace is a scarce commodity all over the world.

The wickedness and contradictions of the world notwithstanding, the Christian is expected to “follow peace with all men” and as much as possible to live peaceably with all men. The Lord has so designed it that the man of peace attracts peace. “When a man’s way please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him (Proverbs 16:7). This was the case of Isaac in our text.

The visit of Abimelech the king of Gerar and his friends, whether borne out of feeling of guilt or feeling of fear of repercussion, was a peace mission. The result of that meeting was a covenant of peace between Isaac and the people which was sealed with a feast that Isaac made for them. Observe how Isaac readily forgave the people and was willing to forge a peaceful and neighbourly relationship with them. He did not continue to nurse the injustice earlier meted out to him. It was more than a coincidence that the same day Isaac entered a peace treaty with Abimelech and his company, he was rewarded with a new well.

No less an attitude is expected of a Christian. As you step out today, make up your mind to chart a course of peace. Be willing to pay a reasonable price to secure peace. If Abimelech, a pagan king, took the initiative to make peace with a wronged Isaac, you should have more grace to initiate peace overtures to anyone whose way you have crossed.

Thought For The Day: We may not hope to achieve world peace, but we can achieve peace around us.

MOUNTAIN OF FIRE AND MIRACLES MINISTRIES
POWER MUST CHANGE HANDS
PROGRAM FOR MARCH 2019
PRAYER CITY
SATURDAY 02 March; 2019
Topic: The mystery of Prayer
Anchored Scriptures: Exodus 32:9-11; 1 Kings 18:42; Acts 4:31; Exodus 17:8
Ministering: Dr. D.K Olukoya (G.O, MFM Worldwide)

Message:

Sing this song: That God that answereth by fire, You will answer me by fire, today.(2ce)

Three Strange Scriptures:

1. Exodus 32:9-11 – An encounter between Moses and God. The Lord has taken a decision but Moses engaged in the mystery of prayer. Moses engaged in an instrument that seems to tie the hand of God but God says, let me alone: as if Moses tied His hands. The only system that can achieve that is the “Mystery of Prayer”.

2. 1 Kings 18:42 – Elijah had prayed, closed heaven with his prayer, if its now time to open it. The first kind of prayer he prayed was different from the second prayer he prayed.
He put his head in between his knees to pray. It is appearing to me that the people of old understand this kind of prayer but this generation do not understand it. The awesomeness and kind of prayer of old is strange to this generation.

They do not know the geography, science and mystery of prayers.

There are prayers that can open, there are prayers that can close.
When God opens a door, no man can close it.
When God closes a door , no man can open it.

3. Acts 4:31 – They prayed to a level that their prayers starts to shake the building. If prayer is shaking the building, who is the witch or wizard that can stand it?

Prayer can uproot,

Prayer can disable,

Prayed can resurrect,

Prayer can revive,

Prayer can reverse,

Prayer can abolish,

Prayer can terminate,

Prayer can kill,

Prayer can build,

Prayer can destroy,

Prayer can fast forward,

Prayer can reorganise,

Prayer can plant,

Prayer can destroy, after all Jesus came to destroy, for the cause, the son of God was made manifest.

Prayer can recover, it can pursue, overtake, terrify, animate, blind (There are occasions in the bible, that blind prayers were said). Elisha, Paul, prayed blind prayers.

Prayer can pull down, create, recreate.

Prayer can rebrand, it can repackage, prayer can isolate, it can demote, it can reveal, prayer can decode, prayer can constitute, prayer can sanitize, prayer can legislate, prauer can authorize, prayer can dismiss, prayer can raise up, Prayer can dominate, it can judge, it can can acquit, prayer can bury, discern, prayer can dissolve, prayer can withdraw things, it can approve, it can disapprove, prayer can jump, it can incubate, prayers don’t die.

Prayer can echo, prayer can paralyze, prayer can arrest, Prayer can punish, prayer can diagnose, prayer can cloth, prayer can glorify, prayer can polish, prayer can ignite and prayer can activate.

Many pray, many don’t understand, a man can be faced with 5 battles because he does not have a prophet, he cannot discern this is battle 1, battle 2 e.t.c. He prays general prayers and life remains stagnant.

The awesomeness of the power of prayer is yet to be revealed to this generation.

The time will come, that the most important thing you need in this world is for God to answer ur prayers.

The tragedy of our days is not unanswered prayers: It is unoffered prayers!

Prayer is the greatest power on earth.
Prayer is the key to good treasure house.
Prayer is the only thing that we do in church the devil cannot do.

Prayer don’t die
A man who prays has nothing to fear.
Prayer is a unnatural activity.

Gods’ power can only flow to people who can pray

Exodus 17:8 – Moses prayed while Joshua fought.
God’s prevailing power is released through prayer.

Prayerless people are overwhelmed, prayerless people are over run, prayerless people are pushed around and defeated by the enemy.

Nothing is too great to pray about.
Nothing is too hard to pray about.

Prayer has won victory over the earth.
Prayer obtain a thing that seems impossible.

Prayer makes the sun to stand still.
In the bible, prayer brought fire from the sky.
Prayer never perish.

The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much. There must be righteousness in your prayer.

Power Must Change Hands March 2019 – The Mystery of Prayer

Topic: A Purpose in Pain? [Our Daily Bread 3 March 2019 Devotional]

Bible in a Year: Numbers 28–30; Mark 8:22–38

[God] comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. – 2 Corinthians 1:4

Today’s Scripture & Insight: 2 Corinthians 1:3-7

When Siu Fen discovered she had kidney failure and would need dialysis for the rest of her life, she wanted to give up. Retired and single, the longtime believer in Jesus saw no point in prolonging her life. But friends convinced her to persevere and go for dialysis and trust in God to help her.

Two years later, she found her experience coming into play when she visited a friend from church with a debilitating disease. The woman felt alone, as few could truly understand what she was going through. But Siu Fen was able to identify with her physical and emotional pain and could connect with her in a personal way. Her own journey enabled her to walk alongside the woman, giving her a special measure of comfort others couldn’t. “Now I see how God can still use me,” she said.

It can be hard to understand why we suffer. Yet God can use our affliction in unexpected ways. As we turn to Him for comfort and love in the midst of trials, it also empowers us to help others. No wonder Paul learned to see purpose in his own suffering: It gave him the opportunity to receive God’s comfort, which he could then use to bless others (2 Corinthians 1:3–­5). We’re not asked to deny our pain and suffering, but we can take heart in God’s ability to use it for good.

Today’s Reflection
How has God used you to bring comfort to another? How has your faith helped you to persevere?

TOPIC: Complete Eyesight [RCCG Sunday School STUDENT Manual 3 March 2019]

MEMORY VERSE: “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” – Psalms 119:18 (scroll down for RCCG Sunday School 3 March 2019 HYMN)

Also Read: Open Heaven 3 March 2019 – The Healing Touch

BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Kings 6:13-17 KJV (RCCG Sunday School STUDENT Manual 3 March 2019)

13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.

14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.

15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

INTRODUCTION:

A man is incomplete without his eyesight. He finds it difficult to dominate or fulfill purpose(s). Gen 1:28. The eye is a very important part of the body because it is the body’s camera. In addition to vision, the eye also provides depth perception and contributes to the man’s balance. — Matt. 6:22.

LESSON OUTLINES

1. Types and usefulness of the eyes
2. Dangers of not having complete eyesight

1. TYPE AND USEFULNESS OF THE EYES

The eyes can be categorised into three. The first is the physical eyes attached to the body. Anyone without the physical eyes is seriously handicapped because the eye is the light of the body (Luke 11:36; John 9:1). The second is the eye of the soul, also known as ‘the eyes of understanding’ (Ephesians 1:18). These eyes are so vital that they could make the difference between salvation and perdition. When the Gospel is preached, many people find it difficult to understand how the death of ‘someone’ over 2000 years ago could secure eternity in Heaven for them. To believe that salvation is not by works but free is because your eyes of understanding is enlightened.

The third category is the spiritual eye which enables you to see into the realm of the spirit. It makes you see what no ordinary eye can see (2Kings 2:11-12). Those who see into the realm of the spirit receive impartation and get what they desire. Usually, the physical eye sees problems, while the spiritual eye sees the solution (2 Kings 6:15-17, John 11:22-23). If you are always seeing in the physical but never see in the spiritual, you will be far from solutions (Job 2:9). Those whose spiritual eyes are opened always see solutions right within the problem (Job 19:25). In 2Kings 2:11, Elisha would not have received the double portion of anointing from Elijah if his spiritual eyes were not opened. Any believer who is spiritually blind will not be able to see into the realm of the spirit and have a glimpse of Heaven (Isaiah 6:1-6, Luke 9:32-33).

2. DANGERS OF NOT HAVING COMPLETE EYESIGHT

It is dangerous to be without physical sight like the man in John 9:1-7. The blind cannot enjoy the beauty of nature. Walking is seriously hampered and collision is inevitable. Many times blind people remain on the same spot (Mark 10:46, John 9:8). They may be hindered from fulfilling the purpose for which they were born. When the gospel is preached, those whose eyes of understanding are darkened will find it difficult to believe that Jesus is God and through Him they can find everlasting life (Acts 28:26-28, Ephesians 1:18). Their end is death.

CONCLUSION
Without a complete eyesight, you cannot have total vision. The race of such a Christian will be tedious and unexciting. If your spiritual eyes are always open, not only will your problems be solved, you will become an answer to the problem of others.

QUESTIONS

1. Mention the types and usefulness of the eyes.
2. What are the dangers of incomplete eyesight?

Open Heaven 3 March 2019 Sunday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The Healing Touch

Topic: The Healing Touch (Open Heaven 3 March 2019)

Memorise: “They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”- Mark 16:18

Read: Luke 13:10-13 (KJV)

10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

Bible in One Year: Acts 21-22, Isaiah 51:17-52:12

Open Heaven 3 March 2019 Sunday MESSAGE:

Several times in the Bible, virtue or power is transferred from a source to a recipient through a touch. We also see through the Bible that there are different kinds of touches. There is the touch of life, and there is the touch of sin and death. We also find the touch of healing and the touch of sickness. For example, when God’s breath of life touched the lifeless body of the man whom He formed out of the dust of the earth, he became a living soul (Genesis 2:7). In like manner, when the devil was permitted by God to touch Job with the touch of sickness, Job became grievously sick to the point of death. Thank God that the touch of healing was given to override the touch of sickness. Are you sick in your body? The Lord will touch you with His healing touch today in Jesus’ Name. The Lord Jesus in John 10:10 said:

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

In other words, the devil came to touch humanity with all kinds of sicknesses, but Jesus came with His healing touch to recue us from them all. Praise God! However, it is amazing that some children of God do not know their Father the way they ought to know Him. They trust Him for all manner of things, including the most costly of them all, which is the salvation of their souls, yet they find it difficult to trust Him for the healing of their bodies.

With the prevalence of several incurable diseases, children of God need to begin to trust God for His healing touch. This is necessary because from time immemorial, man’s best efforts to cure diseases and sicknesses have always been limited in impact, and millions are still suffering incurably today. The woman with the issue of blood is an example of someone who suffered a great deal from an incurable disease. Mark 5:25-26 says this about her:

“25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,”

She remained in this condition until her touch of faith drew the healing touch of the Master into her life. Today’s Bible reading tells of another woman who was sick for eighteen years. She encountered the healing touch of the Master and was made whole. Beyond this, today’s memory verse assures us that if only we believe, we can even graduate from being healed to becoming agents of healing. I pray that this will be your testimony in Jesus’ Name.

Open Heaven 3 March 2019 Sunday Prayer Point:

Father, touch and heal me today, and make me an agent of healing to others in Jesus’ Name.

Open Heaven 3 March 2019 Sunday Hymn 9: In Christ Alone

1.In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

2.In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.

3.There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4.No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

Rhapsody of Realities 3 March 2019 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome – His Body And Blood

Topic: His Body And Blood

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? (1 Corinthians 10:16).

Being born again, not only is it your right to take the Holy Communion, it’s also compulsory, for it’s a participation in the body and blood of Christ. As seen in our opening verse, the cup of blessing is actually the Communion of the blood of Christ. Likewise, the bread, which we break, is the Communion of His body. This means we’re one with the Lord. His victory is our victory; His ability is our ability. All that He is, He is in us, and we’re complete in Him. Amazing reality!

These are our affirmations as we partake of the Communion; we’re to be mindful of our oneness with the Lord, and our triumphant life in Him. “What if a Christian has done something wrong, can he still partake of the Communion?” Yes. He should repent of his sin immediately and not miss the opportunity to partake of the Communion, because the blood of Jesus was shed for the remission of sin; the Communion is a demonstration of faith in the blood of Christ for redemption.

“But I thought the Bible says, ‘Don’t take the Communion when you’re not worthy; meaning when you’ve sinned?’” someone queries. That’s not what the Bible says. The Spirit of God, writing through Paul to the Corinthian Church, didn’t say, “whosoever shall eat this bread or drink this cup, being unworthy.” Being unworthy means the person isn’t qualified to eat the bread or drink the cup; every Christian qualifies to take the Communion. What the Bible says is that it shouldn’t be done “unworthily,” and there, the Apostle Paul was addressing the impropriety reported of the Christians in Corinth as they took the Communion (1 Corinthians 11:18-34).

Taking the Communion is something that must be done reverently and meditatively; in a heart of worship and holiness, knowing the significance of the body and blood of Christ—the fellowship and eternal redemption it provides. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the body of Jesus that was broken for me, and His blood that was shed for the remission of my sins. I’m forever grateful for my oneness with you, and for your glory in my life. Now I have a brand new life of righteousness, with dominion over sin, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
