Topic: Watch Your Steps [Teens Open Heavens 6, May 2018]

Memorise: Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Psalm 119:133

Read: Psalm 37:23 (KJV)

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

Bible In One Year: 1 Kings 12-13, Luke 24:36-53

MESSAGE:

Our steps move us forward or backward depending on which direction we take. Your steps today will determine where you will be tomorrow. The step of clubbing is regressive step, having a boyfriend or a girlfriend is regressive step. Some steps may look nice to take, but look at it very well, is it a regressive or progressive step? Any step you cannot proudly tell your God fearing pastor about is a regressive one.

It seems fashionable to be the most popular boy or girl in school. You may want to be known as the most social boy or girl around, but you must be careful. In chasing popularity, take the right steps. It is better to be popular as the most brilliant girl in school than as the best dancer at clubs. Your future matters more than your present. Many of the popular play boys and girls when I was in school then are now ashamed to speak or show themselves amongst our mates. While others were taking steps that will lead them to greatness in the future, they were taking steps that led them to a poor future. Watch your steps!

Key Point: The steps you take today will eventually lead you to the life you will live tomorrow

Hymn 16
1. Christian, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray.

2. Principalities and power,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for the unguarded hours:
Watch and pray.

3. Gird the heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray.

4. Hear the victors who o’ercame,
Still they mark each warriors’s way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray.

5. Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
Watch and pray.

6. Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.

Topic: The Power Of The Blessing [Seeds of Destiny Sunday May 6, 2018]

Scripture: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28

Thought For The Day: The blessing of God is the antidote for poverty and wretchedness.

It has been confirmed that the blessing of God is a non-negotiable necessity in the fulfilment of destiny. That is why God blessed Adam in the very beginning (Genesis 1:28); it was by virtue of the blessing that God asked Adam to multiply and fill up the earth.

Now, what is the power of the blessing of God?
i) The blessing of God imparts the supernatural force for the commencement of new beginning
That was why money or certificate was not what God gave to Adam at the beginning but the blessing.

ii) The blessing of God imparts the supernatural force for the activation of potential and the exhibition of productivity
What a person carries within comes out when the blessing of God comes upon his life; the blessing makes a person unusually productive. The blessed are multi-dimensionally potent; they release multi-dimensional potentials.

iii) The blessing of God imparts the supernatural force that positions people for generational influence and Impact
When a person is blessed, he cannot be an onlooker or a spectator in life but an active participant. The blessing of God makes you a force and a voice to reckon with; it makes you a generational influence; the kind that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had. You cannot pass through this world and people claim ignorance of your existence.

Beloved, endeavour to make demands for the impartation of the blessing of God in your life.

Remember this: The blessing of God is the antidote for poverty and wretchedness.

Assignments:
1. Make demands on God for the impartation of the blessing in your life.

Topic: Our Confidence [DCLM Daily Manna Sunday May 6, 2018]

Text: 2 Kings 6:8-23 (KJV)

Key Verse: “And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them” (2 Kings 6:16).

MESSAGE:

The prophets of God were useful to the kings and leaders of Israel in various ways. They confronted and exposed idolatry and helped to create a conducive environment for the people to freely and publicly worship the Almighty God. They demonstrated confidence in God when their situations demanded worry and anxiety.
Elisha was one of the outstanding prophets in Bible days. He demonstrated his confidence in God when it appeared there was no hope. The Bible records eighteen encounters between him and needy people. Each time, he expressed his confidence in the power of God.

In our text, the king of Syria was in a fix. Time after time, his military aggression against Israel had ended up in woeful defeat as they tried to fight Israel. The Syrian king then suspected there was a traitor among his soldiers. Informed that the ‘traitor’ was Elisha who was revealing his strategies, he sent soldiers, with chariots and horses to trap and kill the prophet at Dothan.

Elisha’s servant was alarmed when he saw the physical army, chariots and horses of Syria. But Elisha was not moved. He believed in the power of God. God’s answer to Elisha’s prayer opened his servant’s eyes to see the mighty army of heaven. His confidence was re-kindled.

When we face difficulties that look seemingly insurmountable, we should not forget the myriads of spiritual resources and forces God has put at our disposal even though we may not see them with our physical eyes. As believers, we must always walk by faith and not by sight. We should resolve to look away from difficulties, however challenging and, instead, look up unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Thought For The Day: There is great reward for our confidence in God.

Topic: Seek God For Yourself [Billy Graham’s Devotional Sunday May 6, 2018]

Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves . . . — Psalm 100:3

Whenever anyone asks me how I can be so certain about who and what God really is, I am reminded of the story of the little boy who was out flying a kite. It was a fine day to go kite-flying, the wind was brisk, and large billowy clouds were blowing across the sky. The kite went up and up until it was entirely hidden by the clouds. “What are you doing?” a man asked the little boy. “I’m flying a kite,” he replied. “Flying a kite, are you?” the man said, “How can you be sure? You can’t see your kite.” “No,” said the little boy, “I can’t see it, but every little while I feel a tug, so I know for sure that it’s there!” Don’t take anyone else’s word for God. Find Him for yourself, and then you too will know by the wonderful, warm tug on your heartstring, that He is there, for sure.

Prayer for the day: Oh heavenly Father, as I reach out to You I feel the “tug” of Your Holy Spirit, which tells me of Your presence!
