MONDAY, 1ST FEBRUARY, 2021. THEME: DON’T DISHONOR GOD. MEMORY VERSE: “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”  2 Timothy 2:19 BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 2:30 (KJV) 30. Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever; but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.   MESSAGE: Honour is something you give to a man who has everything else that you can think of giving him. For Instance, when a University says they are giving somebody an honorary degree, it is not because the fellow needs the degree to get a job. In fact, honorary degrees are given to those who have already achieved greatness. Now, if you will not honour a man, that may not be a problem, but when you decide...

SATURDAY, 30TH JANUARY, 2021. THEME: DO GOOD! MEMORY VERSE: “ And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9 BIBLE READING: Romans 2:6-10 (KJV) 6. Who will render to every man according to his deeds; 7. To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life; 8.

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10. But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile; MESSAGE: Good people are wise people.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23....

THURSDAY, 28TH JANUARY, 2021. THEME : FAITH AND PATIENCE. MEMORY VERSE: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 BIBLE READING: HEBREWS 11:1-11 1.Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2.For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3.By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. Faith at the Dawn of History 4.By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. 5.By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6.But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, an...

If you give a child a gift, he or she would tell everyone about it. Children also boast a lot about their parents and the benefits they get from them. If you have just got a car, it is most likely that your child will want you to take him or her to school in it so as to show off to their friends. If you give a child a gift, if possible, he or she will tell the whole world about it. Do you tell everyone what God has done for you or are you ashamed to talk about Him in public? Do you...

TUESDAY, 26TH JANUARY, 2021. THEME: LIKE A CHILD (II).

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the...

SUNDAY, 24TH JANUARY, 2021. THEME: RAPTURE: ARE YOU READY? MEMORY VERSE: “ Behold, come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation 16:15 BIBLE READING: Matthew 24:36-44 (KJV) 36. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39.

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42. Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43. But know this, that if the goodman of the house ...

Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein; 4. Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found, 5. Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely...

Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same; MESSAGE: ‘RA’ in our equation for Resistance in the “Mathematics of Christ in You” (MCY) series which we started on January 11, stands for Rebellion against Authority.  Some ‘Christians’ feel they are too big to do God’s work because they are educated. Some refuse to obey their Father-in-the-Lord...
