Samson Killed A Lion With His Hands 

Thursday May 9th 

Text: Judges 14: 5 - 6

Key verse: Psalm 74:5 “A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.”
A lion roared at Samson but he was not afraid. As the lion rushed at him, the Holy Spirit came upon Samson. He got hold of the lion and tore it. It is the prerogative of God; the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Samson must not meet another lion and say, “I killed a lion with my bare hands so I will handle this one with my bare hands.” Do not try it. Did the Holy Spirit come on you? Did you receive inspiration from the Holy Spirit? Why are you presumptuous? Why do you imagine great things to your hurt because of your pride? The miracle happened by the Spirit of God.
A story was told of an elderly woman that when a vehicle knocked down her grandchild, she rushed to the vehicle, lifted it up and removed her child. Everybody was surprised. Mama, are you a powerful woman? I am a normal woman. But how did you do this? How many people can lift up a vehicle the way you did? I cannot tell. Definitely God wanted to save that child and since God can do everything, He put the power in that woman. With great passion, she rushed without even thinking, lifted up the vehicle and brought out the child. Now, if you say that she is a mighty woman, tell her to lift up another vehicle. Can she do it? No! So, do not be presumptuous by thinking that you can perform miracles. There must be humility. 
Note that there were sick people that Jesus did not talk about? He was not moved to heal them. At the pool of Bethsaida, He healed only one person and left. What about the lame man that was laid daily at the gate in the temple? Did Jesus not pass there several times? You must leave some things until God says so. It is not in you. That is why Joseph told the pharaoh, “It is not in me. God will give a pharaoh interpretation for his dream.” The fact that I interpreted dreams for your two servants does not mean I have the power to interpret every dream. It is God that gave me the interpretation.

Thought for the day: You must leave some things until God says so. 

Song for the day: In Jesus name, every knee shall bow …

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 5-7

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
