‎AUTHOR : PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE
‎
‎TOPIC: DON’T HARDEN YOUR HEART
‎
‎MEMORISE:
‎Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
‎Proverbs 28:14
‎
‎READ: Psalm 95:8-11
‎
‎MESSAGE
‎There is great danger in hardening one’s heart to the word of God. In Revelation 2:7, the Bible says, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches…” In today’s world, many people are unwilling to listen to God’s word, especially when it condemns their wrongdoings. They mock and neglect genuine men of God and despise God’s ordinances. They are usually found in churches where sin is not condemned and where ungodly doctrines are taught. The Bible tells us that such people are at risk of eternal damnation if they refuse to heed His word (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).
‎
‎Many professing Christians pick only what favours them from God’s word. However, what they do not know is that they cannot experience the fullness of God when they choose only what they want to hear from Him. In fact, many times, the things that position us for God’s blessings are the things we do not want to hear or experience. It was the shame and the cross that positioned Jesus for glory (Hebrews 12:2). Also, in Joseph’s case, it was the pit and the prison that positioned him for the palace.
‎
‎Hebrews 4:12 tells us that the word of God is “quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow…” God’s word convicts; it does not condemn. Whenever a fellow hears God’s word and it pierces through his or her heart, such a person should not get offended. Instead, he or she should see it as an opportunity to be corrected and transformed.
‎
‎Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
‎
‎Acts 2:37-38
‎
‎In the Scripture above, Peter preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to some people in Jerusalem, and they were convicted in their hearts. Following their conviction, they became saved and were baptised (Acts 2:41). Beloved, when you hear God’s word, do not harden your heart. Let His word convict, correct, and instruct you so that you will be thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
‎
‎PRAYER POINT
‎
‎Father, please give me a teachable heart that is quick
‎to receive and obey Your word, in Jesus’ name.

‎
‎[Verse 1]
‎Holy words long preserved
‎For our walk in this world
‎They resound with God's own heart

‎Holy words of our faith
‎Handed down to this age
‎Came to us through sacrifice
‎Oh, heed the faithful words of Christ
‎Holy words long preserved
‎For our walk in this world
‎They resound with God's own heart
‎Oh, let the ancient words impart
‎
‎[Chorus]
‎Ancient words ever true

‎
‎TOPIC: REMAIN GRATEFUL
‎MEMORISE:
‎
‎That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
‎Psalm 26:7
‎
‎READ: Psalm 103:1-5
‎
‎MESSAGE
‎Some time ago, I went to a man’s house to conduct a programme. It was a night programme, and the owner of the house asked me to spend the night at his house afterwards because it was too late for me to return home. I obliged, and in the morning, he asked me to wait for breakfast. When it was time to eat, a chef came and asked my host what he wanted to eat. After so much back and forth, my host finally decided that he would have bread and eggs for breakfast. Then, for the next few minutes, another back-and-forth ensued because the chef asked my host how he wanted his eggs prepared – scrambled, poached, or fried – before he finally settled on boiled eggs. Then, it was time for another debate: how do you want your egg boiled, hard-boiled or medium-boiled? By then, it had been more than 25 minutes, and I had gotten really hungry. Finally, the chef turned to me when he finished with his boss and asked, “Sir, what will you eat?” I told him to give me anything he had. He said he had bread and eggs, and I said it was fine. Then, he asked if I wanted an omelette or bacon, the number of eggs I wanted, and so on. I told him that anything was fine, as long as it was enough to satisfy my hunger. After the whole ordeal, I thought to myself that even though I had no money, I had a good appetite at least. Child of God, while you may not have everything you desire in life yet, you must be grateful for the things you have.
‎
‎Ecclesiastes 6:9 says that the sight of the eyes is better than the wandering of desire. Many people are not grateful for what they have because they are consumed with thinking about the things they want. They do not appreciate the things they can see because of their wandering desires. Beloved, if God has given you the gift of life, be grateful. Ecclesiastes 9:4 says that as long as you are joined to all the living, there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion. As long as you are alive, there is hope that you will achieve the things you desire. Don’t be so focused on the things you wish you had that you forget to appreciate God for all you already have. In all things, give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
‎
‎PRAYER POINT
‎
‎Father, please help me to remain grateful
‎for all You have done for me, in Jesus’ name.

‎Have you not seen all that is needful has been
‎sent by his gracious ordaining?
‎
‎3. Praise to the Lord, who will prosper your work and defend you;
‎surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you.
‎Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
‎if with his love he befriends you.
‎
‎4. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
‎All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him.
‎Let the Amen sound from his people again;
‎gladly forever adore him.

‎TOPIC: YOU HAVE A PURPOSE
‎
‎MEMORISE:
‎For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end
‎Jeremiah 29:11
‎
‎READ: Jeremiah 1:4-10
‎
‎MESSAGE
‎After Jesus resurrected from the dead, He visited His disciples in John 20:19-22 and said to them.””…as my Father hath sent me, even so send l you.”
‎When God comes into a person’s life, He will give the person a purpose for his or her life. He will share His thoughts and plans with the person and show him or her what the future holds. He will do this because He desires His children to live purposeful lives.
‎
‎Many people are drifting through life because they haven’t encountered Jesus. They do anything that appeals to them because they have not discovered why God created them. For instance, some of them engage in fraudulent acts just to make money. At the end of the day, they realise that life is more than having money.
‎Such people become rich but miserable because the wealth they amassed, which they thought would bring them joy and tultilment, did not. They soon discover that their lives lack meaning despite their wealth. They do not know God’s purpose for their lives, so they continually strive to achieve the next big thing. Unfortunately, after each seemingly big achievement, they tend to sink into despair because they feel as if something is still missing in their lives.
‎
‎Child of God, no amount of money, fame, or achievement can make a person fulfilled. As long as a person lives outside God’s purpose for his or her life, such a person will not know what true fulfilment is. I have had the opportunity to mingle with the high and mighty, and I have discovered that some people who are poor by societal definitions have more joy and peace than many of them. In today’s memory verse, the Almighty God says that He knows the plans He has towards you, and that they are good.
‎
‎Beloved, God has a specific plan for your life, and it is only when you align yourself with His plan that you will experience fulfilment. To know His purpose for your lite, you must cultivate an intimate relationship with Him because He created you, and no product can fultil its true purpose outside its manufacturer’s intention and specifications. As you spend quality time with your Maker in prayer and studying His word, your true purpose will become evident. I pray that God will continually guide you along the path of your purpose in Him and supply you with the grace and wisdom to fulfil it, in Jesus name.
‎
‎REFLECTION
‎Do you know God’s purpose for your life, and are you walking in it?

‎ HYMN: 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, 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 a life’s first cry to final breath
‎Jesus commands my destiny
‎No power of hell, no scheme of man
‎Could ever pluck me from His hand
‎‘Til He returns or calls me home
‎Here in the power of Christ I stand

‎Waiting can feel like silence, but silence does not mean God is inactive.
‎
‎God often uses waiting seasons to strengthen your faith, develop your character and prepare you for the responsibility connected to your answer.

‎Those who wait on the Lord receive renewed strength. Your season of waiting is not empty; God is working in you, around you and ahead of you.

‎
‎TOPIC: THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST
‎
‎MEMORISE:
‎But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
‎Acts 1:8
‎
‎READ: Acts 5:25-33
‎
‎MESSAGE
‎In today’s memory verse, Jesus told His disciples that they would receive power after the Holy Ghost comes upon them, and it happened exactly as He had said (Acts 2:1-43). The moment the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will suddenly become strong.
‎You will become bold and empowered to achieve great things because Zechariah 4:6 says,….Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.”
‎
‎Many people have failed in various endeavours because they have been trying to function solely by their own power. As long as a person keeps trying to do things solely by his or her own strength, there is a high probability that such a person will fail. However, when the Holy Spirit empowers a person, he or she is assured of a positive outcome.
‎
‎The power of the Holy Spirit turns cowards into mighty men and weaklings into great terrors to the kingdom of darkness. When this power came upon the apostles, the men who had been hiding from the religious leaders of their time began to confront them boldly. Today’s Bible reading reveals how Peter, who denied knowing Jesus when a maidservant pointed out that he was one of His disciples, boldly spoke about Jesus before those who threatened his life.
‎
‎I recall vividly that after I got born again at the University of Lagos in 1973, I had a Head of Department whose name was Professor Chike Obi.
‎He was the greatest mathematician Africa had ever produced. Humanly speaking, he was a very good man, but I wondered how someone could be that good and not know the love of Christ. One Sunday evening in church, we prayed and were told to go and win souls, and I said, “When I get to the office tomorrow, ‘ll preach to my Head of Department.” When I got to the office, I went to him to say, “Good morning, sir,” and he thanked me in such a way that I froze and ran away. When I was baptised in the Holy Spirit, however, I became bold to preach to him. I received the power to succeed, win souls, and plant churches, and the power to win in life was also given to me.
‎
‎Beloved, I pray for you today that you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit just as I did and be empowered to reign in life and be a fruitful witness for Christ, in Jesus’ name.
‎
‎PRAYER POINT
‎Dear Lord, please baptise me with the power
‎of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name.
