Topic: Emotions Are Here to Stay [Joyce Meyer’s Devotional Tuesday June 19, 2018]

“Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the harvest] nor gather [the crops] into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they?” — Matthew 6:26

We all have emotions, and we always will; they are part of being human. Since that is true, I believe emotional stability should be one of the main goals of every believer. We should seek God to learn how to manage our emotions and stop them from managing us.

I urge you to make emotional maturity a priority in your life. If you do not believe you are doing a good job of managing your emotions, begin to pray and seek God for emotional maturity. I also encourage you to learn what upsets you the most or prompts you to behave emotionally and be watchful during those situations.

Prayer Starter: Father, I ask for Your help to manage my emotions. Help me to mature in You and have a greater understanding of why I do the things I do. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Topic: Ready To Go [Teens Open Heavens 19, June 2018]

Memorise: And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give Everyman according as his work shall be. – Revelation 22:12

Read: John 14:1-3 (KJV)

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Bible In One Year: Nehemiah 9-11, Acts 4:1-22

MESSAGE:

Apart from the fact that Jesus rose from the dead, He is coming back again. John 14:1-3 says one reason He went away was because of you and I. He went to prepare a place for us. He is coming to take us to those prepared mansions. Are you ready? He is coming.

The signs of His return surround us: the move towards a society, increase in knowledge, lots of people growing cold in the Lord. Even if He tarries, when your time comes to leave you will go. Each time somebody dies, for that fellow, the Lord has returned. Jesus Christ is coming back soon. Are you prepared?

Action Point: What is that thing that can disqualify you from Heaven? Deal with it today before it is too late.

Hymn 7:

1. I am Thine 0 Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Chorus
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

TOPIC: Accountability (Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Tuesday, 19 June 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 12:36-37

MEMORY VERSE: “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” – 2 Corinthians 5:10

The MESSAGE:
What is accountability? It is a check and balance system to protect us from harm, firstly from ourselves and then others. We do this by being open to what we are thinking and doing, so we can receive encouragement and reproof when needed. Christian accountability is accounting for what we are up to. It is the realisation that we are liable, responsible, and answerable for our actions in life to God.

Accountability allows us to be answerable to one another, focusing on key relationship such as with spouse, close friends, colleagues, co-workers, a boss, small group members, and pastor. It is sharing in confidence, our heartfelt Christian sojourn in an atmosphere propelled by trust.

Accountability is not about confrontation. It is more about challenging one another to grow in Christ. Accountability helps to instill the warning precepts that God has given us. But it also has the necessary support, counsel, encouragement and affirmation we all need. As Christians, we must grow and practise our faith to maturity. Although we are susceptible to sin because we are still in the flesh, we must remember that we are held accountable to every action of ours. We will not only be required to give account of our activities here on earth by our organisations, our creator will demand same.

Having other people around whom you trust and get to know deeply will enable you to know yourself, your strength, weakness, and opportunities –more deeply. You will be able to see in the mirror, your inner being and desires and see if they are in line with what God has for you. You will be aware of issues, relationships and life’s purpose, God’s call us unfolded before you, because you see life in the perspective of God’s word more deeply. Your behaviour and response to other will also change for the better (Ecclesiastes 4:8-12).

To keep accountability in view:

1. Associate with people that would be ready to correct you and not flatter you.
2. Examine yourself daily in the light of the word whether you are still in line with God.
3. Know that you are responsible for your actions. Do not blame others for your mistakes.
4. Accept criticism in love; constructive criticism should get you on your toes.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
A duty changed is like a debt unpaid; it is only deferred, and we must come back and settle the account later.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Your actions and words on earth will not testify against you in heaven.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. Power to be accountable, envelope me, in the name of Jesus.
2. Any power assigned to disorganise me, scatter by fire, in the name of Jesus.
3. Holy Spirit, remind me always that I will give account of activities here on earth, in Jesus’ name.

EVENING
4. Power assigned to rob me of heaven, die, in the name of Jesus.
5. Holy Spirit, baptise me with organisational skills, in the name of Jesus.
6. Creative power of God, envelope ne, in the name of Jesus.
7. My life shall not disgrace heaven, in the name of Jesus.
