WEDNESDAY 7 JULY

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS AND THANK THE LORD

TEXT: Psalm 124:1-6

Key Verse: Psalm 46:7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is

our refuge. Do you remember that time of social disturbances when you were cornered and bullets were flying here and there? But you know that it wasn't by your expertise that the bullets didn't hit you. It was just Jehovah God that did it. Do you remember the delay you had in marriage and how you lost hope of becoming a husband or wife to somebody? But see you now, a happily married person. What about the delay in childbearing like Sarah who said “Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.” Can you count them all? What about getting a job and several other things? Deliverances, provisions, connections, successes, and all. But do you remember them at all? Do you remember those promises you made to God when He gave you those deliverances and blessings? Psalms 106: 7 says, “Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.” They spoke madly against God; they despised God. They said, “why did You bring us out, was it not better for us to be in Egypt?” That was what they were saying to God. They forgot the great deliverances of God.

Brother, I am begging you; don't treat God like that. If you have a problem with your memory, learn to write His goodness down. The song says: Count your blessings name them one by one; count your blessings see what God has done. Count your blessings, name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done. Sister, count your blessings! If you are forgetful, write them down. Open a book of remembrance to assist you so that whenever you go through these books, you will remember what the Lord did for you in time past. King Ahasuerus had such a book of remembrance in which he wrote the kindness of people, the good people did to him. That was how he remembered the good deed of Mordecai and rewarded him. Otherwise, with everything Mordecai had done for him, he would have killed his benefactor by his signature. Have you done anything to show appreciation to people God used for you? Learn to remember because forgetfulness is dangerous. It leads you to ignore God.

Thought for the day: Learn to appreciate the goodness of man and God to you.

Song for the day: Count your blessings, name them one by one.

Bible reading for the day: Job 35-37; Acts 14

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
