Text: Leviticus 14:33-57 (KJV)

Key Verse: “But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean” (Leviticus 14:53).

MESSAGE:

Leprosy and other diseases on the skin are all embarrassing and greatly inconveniencing. They are obvious to human sight, irritating to the affected and alienate victims from the rest of the society. Likewise, sin and unrighteousness is a damning blemish that needs to be cleansed very fast before it does greater damage.

The passage gives a step-by-step instruction on how to cleanse leprosy from the “walls of the house”. God was interested in the wellness and wholeness of His people, the cleanliness in the body and the home, even their building. He will not ignore even the symptoms of leprosy on the walls! God gave the clear details of how to cleanse the plague and any other blemish on a man’s garment or house.

God is equally interested in the wholeness of our spirit, soul and body. Our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and as such, every defilement, pollution, stain and blemish is intolerable. As the owners of the defiled houses were expected to expose themselves to the priest for cleansing, likewise, sinners, backsliders and defiled people are expected to expose themselves in confession and restitution to God for forgiveness. “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13). No effort was to be spared in cleansing the defiled building, from the scraping of the plaster to the total removal of the blocks of the building.

There is assurance of cleansing from every form of defilement today, if the defiled can take the simple steps of acknowledging the defilement, confessing it before God, asking for forgiveness on the basis of the blood of Jesus shed for man and accepting by faith, the pardon offered him through Christ’s vicarious death.

Thought For The Day: No stain of sin is beyond cleansing, if the sinner genuinely repents.

Seeds of Destiny 28 April 2019 Devotional — Your Allocation in the Anointing

Topic: Your Allocation in the Anointing [Seeds of Destiny 28 April 2019 Devotional]

Click HERE for Previous MESSAGES by Pastor Paul Enenche

The anointing of God is a blessing connector. It is a blessed thing to carry the anointing of God. The anointing makes a man live an enviable and a fortunate life, and not a pitiable life. The anointing enhances your value and worth.

SCRIPTURE: For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel. Leviticus 7:34-36

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The anointed state is a blessed state.

The anointing of God is a blessing connector. It is a blessed thing to carry the anointing of God. The anointing makes a man live an enviable and a fortunate life, and not a pitiable life. The anointing enhances your value and worth. An anointed person is, therefore, a custodian of the Blessing of God. This means that the anointed state is a blessed state.

The anointing comes with its portion or allocation; there is a portion that comes with the unction. This means that the anointing connects a person with supernatural supplies that are beyond labour and energy. The anointed gets effortlessly what ordinary people get effort-fully.

This implies that:

a. When you function in the anointing, you are positioned to connect with resources far beyond your labour and energy. It does not matter the kind of profession you are into, as long as you function in the anointing, it positions you to connect with resources far beyond your labour or energy.

b. When you function in the anointing, your lot can never be the same with the lots of the ordinary man. You do not need to envy anyone when you function in the anointing.

c. When you function in the anointing, you function effortlessly in the realm of the commanded blessings or supplies (Psalm 133:1-3).

I prophesy to you today, receive your portion of the unction in the Name of Jesus!

REMEMBER THIS: The anointed state is a blessed state.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Study around the anointing through preached messages to understand its secrets.
  2. Connect to the spiritual covering over your life in order to be imparted with the blessing of the anointing of God that they carry.

PRAYER: O Lord, lay Your Hands on me. Let Your anointing wipe out every shame and reproach surrounding my life and destiny, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: When it’s Necessary to Forgive! (Open Heaven 28 April 2019)

Memorise: “Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?”- Matthew 18:21

Read: Mark 11:24-26 (KJV)

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 36-37, Jeremiah 26:12-24

Open Heaven 28 April 2019 Sunday MESSAGE:

Forgiveness is a term used to indicate pardon for a fault or mistake committed by someone. It means to end the feeling of animosity towards a person for an offence committed, and signifies the liberation of that person from guilt and its consequences, including punishment. It usually comes as an act of unmerited favour, compassion or love, with the aim of restoring a broken relationship. Forgiveness is synonymous with pardon, and it is also used in reference to the cancellation of debts. In God’s eyes, to forgive is more about the restoration of a broken relationship that just a change of one’s mind or emotions towards a person who committed an offense. Indeed, forgiveness can be costly and painful. Nevertheless, God demands that we forgive because He Himself first forgave us, and He continues to do so today.

God forgives our sins out of love and because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross of Calvary (Acts 13:38-39, 1 John 1:6-9). Having received His forgiveness through faith in the atoning Blood of Jesus, our sins are no longer held against us as children of God (Romans 3:25). The forgiveness we receive is a part of the justification that comes through grace. In pardoning sin, God effectively removes the guilt of sin, absolves the sinner of the condemnation of the law, and liberates the pardoned from eternal damnation. By this act of grace, the sinner is forever freed from the guilt and penalty of sin. This is God’s special prerogative, offered freely to all men through the gospel of Jesus. We access this free gift by confessing our sins unto God, genuinely repenting of them and becoming born again.

As God has shown us unmerited love, mercy and grace, in wiping all our sins away with the Blood of Jesus, he commands us to do the same to our fellow men. We are to love our neighbours and keep no record of sin against them. As a matter of fact, God expects forgiveness to form part of our lifestyle, keeping in mind that receiving forgiveness from God is dependent on us forgiving our neighbors (Luke 6:37). Ephesians 4:32 says:

“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

Forgiveness leads to peace, reconciliation, healing, unity, progress, joy, prosperity and answered prayers. Whenever these things are lacking and we find ourselves stricken by our conscience, forgiveness is needed. Let the love of God radiate through you to others, so that you can also become a beneficiary of the Lord’s abundant blessings.

Open Heaven 28 April 2019 Sunday Prayer Point:

Father, please make me a person of peace and help me to forgive easily, in Jesus’ Name.

Open Heaven 28 April 2019 Sunday Hymn 5: Let Others See Jesus In You

1 While passing thro’ this world of sin,
and others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within;
Let others see Jesus in you.

Chorus:
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you.
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true;
Let others see Jesus in you.

2 Your life’s a book before their eyes,
They’re reading it thro’ and thro’
Say, does it point them to the skis,
Do others see Jesus in you?

3 Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave and true,
and lead the lost to life and Christ.
Let others see Jesus in you.

He Leads Us Through The Word – Rhapsody of Realities 28 April 2019

Rhapsody of Realities 28 April 2019 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome – He Leads Us Through The Word

Click HERE for Previous MESSAGES

Topic: He Leads Us Through The Word

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14).

The Holy Spirit leads us through the Word. Any counsel you receive that’s contrary to what the Word says, isn’t from the Holy Spirit. Some people pray about something, then an idea comes to them, and they say, “Well, God is leading me to do such-and-such.” If you were to ask them, “Why do you believe it’s God that’s leading you in that direction?” they’d say, “It’s because I prayed about it.”

The fact that you prayed isn’t enough! What did the Lord say to you after you prayed? Did He tell you expressly to go ahead and do whatever it is you think He’s leading you to do? Is the idea you got consistent with the Word? Is it consistent with His perfect will for you? His Word is His will expressed. Yielding to the Spirit means yielding to the lordship, supremacy and guidance of His Word.

This is why knowing the Word for yourself is absolutely indispensable. It’s important to have accurate knowledge of the Word. The more submissive you are to the lordship of the Word, the easier you’ll recognise the Spirit’s guidance. His desire is to lead you from glory to glory.

Our theme verse says, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” To fulfill God’s destiny for your life, you must learn to follow the Spirit in the Word, by the Word, and through the Word. Don’t be in a hurry when seeking His guidance; be patient until you hear His voice—His words— in your spirit. Then you’re ready to go! His Word gives you light, and direction, and holds the solution to every problem.

Irrespective of the troubles, adversities, and challenges, trust the Word. Put your faith in the Word. Become so inundated with the Word until the Word alone is all you think, talk and live out. The Word enjoins us, “…Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16).

PRAYER
Dear Father, your Word gives me strength and ministers courage to my spirit. My faith is strong and active, and it prevails over circumstances as the Spirit guides me in the path of life. His truth and wisdom are the forces of my life, propelling me from glory to glory as I walk in the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Stolen bible translated by 17th century English Protestants is recovered

The 1615 Geneva Bible was traced to a museum in Leiden, the Netherlands after it vanished from the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Jones said: “This bible is more than a piece of evidence in a case. It is a priceless artefact of religious significance to people of many faiths.”

 

The text is among hundreds of rare books and other items stolen by the library’s archivist during a series of thefts spanning two decades, prosecutors have claimed.

 

It is unclear whether 62 year old Gregory Priore will plead guilty or not guilty to numerous counts of theft, conspiracy and other charges.

Mr Priore, and a 55 year old book dealer who denies similar charges, are awaiting trial.

 

It is believed English Protestant exiles living in Geneva during the reign of staunchly Roman Catholic monarch Queen Mary Tudor translated the bible.

Mr Jones told journalists during an FBI press conference that the bible – valued at $5,500 – is similar to one transported to North America by the Pilgrims in 1620.

Notable Voices and the Week in Review: April 27, 2019

Surviving the Week after Easter — Sam Rainer

The joyous whirlwind has stopped, and the grind of ministry begins again. I’m sure the disciples felt something similar after Jesus’ ascension. They were all standing around watching Jesus go into heaven, and the two angels chided them to get back to work. Our work as church leaders does not culminate on Easter Sunday. As you dig back into it, consider a few ways to make this week more rewarding.


Three Worrisome Reasons Why Church Membership Is Falling — Facts & Trends

For 60 years, church membership remained relatively stable in America. Since 1998, however, the percentage who say they are a member of a church, synagogue or mosque has fallen 20 points. The most recent Gallup report identifies three statistical realities that have contributed to the nationwide membership decline.


The Worship Leader and Anxiety — Brent Dyer

I’ve been on a journey. It’s been an interesting trip, over many different paths, changes in direction, and some difficult years. I started leading worship when I was still a teenager, but I certainly wasn’t a worshipper. I was polished, professional, talented, and driven. I was good on stage, planned a well-flowing service, and knew all the right language. But I was empty inside.


How Should Ministry Wives Respond to Criticism? — Diane Nix

Sri Lanka troops find 15 bodies after raid on home of militants linked to Easter Sunday attacks

The gunbattle began on Friday night after police tipped off soldiers to a suspected safe house near the town of Sammanthurai, where authorities said the militants detonated three explosions and opened fire.

At least three others were wounded in the attack, said police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara.

 

He said that some of the dead likely were militants who blew themselves up in suicide bombings.

Earlier, the military said at least one civilian had been killed in the attack.

Raids and police curfews shut down areas of eastern Sri Lanka as Catholic leaders cancelled Sunday Masses indefinitely.

Officials also urged Muslims to stay home for prayers in an extraordinary call by the clergy to curtail worship as fear of more attacks plagued the island nation.

Major General Aruna Jayasekara, the local military commander, said soldiers and police waited until daylight on Saturday to carry out further raids in Eastern Province given houses being built so close together.

Meanwhile, the military said security forces had recovered explosives, detonators, “suicide kits”, military uniforms and Islamic State group flags in the ongoing raids.

In the same area, police spokesman Mr Gunasekara said officers acting on information from…

UK says most important sign of ‘a good Christian’ is kindness

Thirty-five per cent of respondents in a survey of approximately 2,000 people said they thought the trait was the top indicator.

But there was a considerable difference between the genders – with 42 per cent of women and 27 per cent of men favouring kindness above other qualities.

 

Love (14 per cent), goodness (eleven per cent) and faithfulness (six per cent) completed the top four characteristics.

The YouGov and Yahoo UK poll found joy, peace, patience, gentleness and self-control were less popular – each garnering five per cent or less of votes.

Viganhajdari/Pixabay

 

Speaking to Yahoo UK’s ‘Britain is a Nation Of’ podcast, Church of England priest and reality television star Kate Bottley the idea of being a good Christians is a “crazy notion”.

She said: “The basic point for me of Christianity is that I am an absolute failure and all Christians are. We mess it up continually, we get it wrong, we’re hypocritical.

 

“We fudge it up on a second-by-second basis, we are not perfect people.”

“It’s not an awards ceremony, going to church, it’s a hospital for the broken, that’s what it’s about.

 

“It’s about going there and going, ‘oh my word, I can’t get this life right and I’m trying really hard.'”

Trump denies paying North Korea for tragic Christian student’s care

It comes after the Washington Post published a report that the US was charged $2 million by Pyongyang for treatment received by Otto Warmbier.

Responding on Twitter, he said: “No money was paid to North Korea for Otto Warmbier, not two million dollars, not anything else.”

 

The 22 year old died in 2017 after being flown to the US in a coma. He had suffered brain damage.

The University of Virginia student had been detained for 17 months by the secretive state after being accused of trying to steal a sign from a hotel where he was staying in the capital city.

 

He was sentenced to 15 years hard labour.

It has now been claimed North Korea insisted the Ohio-born believer’s medical bill be settled prior to his release.

According to the Post, which cited two sources, a US official signed off on the payment on the orders of President Trump.

CBS citied a former Department of State worker who said the US never paid to fee – nor did it intend to – but the bill was accepted.

Christian grandfather’s bail relief after ‘gluing himself to train’

Philip Kingston was applauded by climate change activists and supporters outside Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Friday after being released on conditional bail.

White-haired Mr Kingston said outside court: “It’s a bit of a shock actually to be released, I’m delighted.

 

“I was assuming like the three arrested last week we would be remanded in prison – they have had the worst of it up to now.

“My only reservation is we’re not in solidarity with them.”

The octogenarian and five other climate activists are accused of gluing themselves to a DLR train in the Canary Wharf financial district in London on Thursday.

Prosecutor Alex Britton told the court “numerous trains were affected and delayed” and estimated the cost of the disruption to the rail network at about £80,000.

 

Three other people accused of the same charge were last week denied bail and kept in custody – however one, Cathy Eastburn, was released on bail after a hearing at Blackfriars Crown Court on Thursday, the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed.

All six defendants, who are part of the Christian Climate Action group, indicated not guilty pleas on Friday and…
