Living Bread

FRIDAY, 1ST APRIL 2022 THEME THERE IS HOPE MEMORY VERSE: For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. Ecclesiastes 9:4 BIBLE READING: Job 14:7 -9  7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. 8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; 9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. MESSAGE One of the major things I have come to learn in my decades of walking with Christ is that there is no hopeless situation with God. It does not matter how bad the circumstances are, my God can reverse the seemingly irreversible. In 2 Kings 4:1-7, the Bible tells us of a woman who was so poor and deep in debt that her creditors only hope of recovering their money was to sell her sons. However, in just one day, God turned her story around and she not only had enough to...

THURSDAY, 31ST MARCH, 2022. THEME: PRAYERS FOR SELF. MEMORY VERSE: “ I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.”  (Psalm 121:1) BIBLE READING: Psalm 121:1-8 (KJV) 1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. PRAYERS : 1. Father, I thank You for my life. I thank You for how far You have brought me and where you are taking me to. Thank You, Lord, for all your protection and provision. I am grateful Lord. 2....

TUESDAY, 29TH MARCH 2022 THEME: PROOF OF DOMINION II MEMORY VERSE:   You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. But when you decide to break free, you will shake his yoke from your neck.” Genesis 27:40 BIBLE READING: Genesis 27:37-40  37 Isaac said to Esau, “I have made Jacob your master and have declared that all his brothers will be his servants. I have guaranteed him an abundance of grain and wine—what is left for me to give you, my son?” 38 Esau pleaded, “But do you have only one blessing? Oh my father, bless me, too!” Then Esau broke down and wept. 39 Finally, his father, Isaac, said to him, “You will live away from the richness of the earth, and away from the dew of the heaven above. 40 You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. But when you decide to break free, you will shake his yoke from your neck.” MESSAGE  We discussed fruitfulness as a proof of dominion yesterday. Today we shall look at various means by which ...

MONDAY, 28TH MARCH 2022 THEME:PROOF OF DOMINION I MEMORY VERSE: You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. John 15:16 BIBLE READING: John 15:1- 8 1 “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. 5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. 7 But if...

FRIDAY, 25TH MARCH 2022 THEME: DOMINION II MEMORY VERSE:  And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. Genesis 13:5  BIBLE READING: Genesis 14:14 -16 14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. 15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. 16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. MESSAGE Yesterday we started discussing the subject of dominion and we discovered that it was bestowed upon man at creation but he traded it for the forbidden fruit. Jesus however, came to redeem man and restore dominion unto all those who believe in Him. We will continue with our study today by considering dominion by association - that is, a pers...

THURSDAY, 24TH MARCH, 2022. THEME: DOMINION - 1 MEMORY: “ Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:”  Psalms 8:6 BIBLE READING: Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV) 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. MESSAGE To the human race, dominion should be a natural phenomenon because it was bestowed upon us at creation. Our memory verse for today attests to this truth. I...

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23RD, 2022 TOPIC: HEALING OR WHOLENESS MEMORISE: “ And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?  (Luke 17:17) BIBLE READING: Luke 17:12-19 (KJV) 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. MESSAGE : Healing is good but wholen...

TUESDAY, MARCH 22ND, 2022 TOPIC: WHY YOU NEED DIVINE ANOINTING II MEMORY VERSE: “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the Church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of Lord.” – (James 5:14) BIBLE READING: 1 John 2:27 (KJV) 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. MESSAGE: Yokes represent bondage and they are of different kinds. The yoke of sickness is a terrible one for anyone to bear and it must be completely destroyed. This is why you need divine anointing to destroy the yoke of sickness. This was a yoke that kept a man bound for thirty-eight years at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:2-9). The yoke of sickness wasted thirty-eight years of his life but he got his deliverance from that bondage when he encountered the anointing upon J...

MONDAY, MARCH 21ST, 2022. TOPIC: WHY YOU NEED DIVINE ANOINTING 1 MEMORY VERSE: “ And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” – (Isaiah 10:27) BIBLE READING: Exodus 40:12-15 (KJV) 12  And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. 13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office. 14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats: 15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. MESSAGE : Many people do not know how important the anointing is and so they despise it. I have seen situations in whi...

FRIDAY, MARCH 18TH, 2022 TOPIC: THE LAST DAYS MEMORY VERSE: “ But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” - (Matthew 24:13) BIBLE READING: Matthew 24:3-14 (KJV) 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name...

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16TH, 2022 TOPIC: GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN MEMORY VERSE : “ Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I, send me. ”  (Isaiah 6:8) BIBLE READING: Joshua 14:12-14 (KJV) 12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said. 13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance. 14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel. MESSAGE: The implication of Caleb’s request in our Bible reading today is that he was asking for a new responsibility and assignment. It should be recalled that though the Lord had declared that the promised land be...

TUESDAY, MARCH 15TH, 2022 TOPIC: THE WORK OF GRACE II MEMORY VERSE: “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work .” - (2 Corinthians 9:8) BIBLE READING: Isaiah 49:24-26 (KJV ) [ 24] Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, Or the captives of the righteous be delivered? [25] But thus says the Lord: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children. [26] I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the Lord, am your Savior, And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.” MESSAGE : Today, we shall continue with the study we commenced yesterday on the work of grace in the life of man. In our Bible reading we are assured that there is someone who can deliver the...

MONDAY, MARCH 14TH, 2022 TOPIC: THE WORK OF GRACE 1 MEMORY VERSE: “ But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”   (2 Peter 3:18) BIBLE READING: 1 Timothy 1:15-17 (KJV) 15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. MESSAGE: Every sinner belongs to the Devil (1 John 3:8) and is a servant of sin (Romans 6:16). A servant in this context is like a prisoner who has lost his or her freedom. For us to be free, we need grace and this can only be found in the truth of the word of God according to John 8:31-32. Th...

FRIDAY, 11TH MARCH 2022 THEME: SHINNING AS THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR I. MEMORY VERSE   I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.

Revelation 22:16 BIBLE READING: Revelation 22:12 -16 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. MESSAGE Jesus introduced Himself as the Bright and Morning Star in our Bible ...

THURSDAY, MARCH 10TH, 2022 TOPIC: NUMBER YOUR DAYS II MEMORY VERSE: “ Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the Lord said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.” - (Joshua 13:1) BIBLE READING: Joshua 13:1-6 (KJV) 1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. 2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri, 3 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites: 4 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites: 5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sun...

WEDNESDAY, 9TH MARCH 2022 THEME: NUMBER YOUR DAYS 1​​​​​ MEMORY VERSE So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom  Psalms 90:12 BIBLE READING: Job 14:1 -2 1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. MESSAGE  There are many lessons we can learn when we number our days in other words, when we put a tally on our days in order to evaluate how we are faring. Numbering our days in whatever form such as birthdays, anniversaries of special events and son on can teach us great lessons and wisdom according to our memory verse today. Why should we number our days? Our Bible reading for today gives us an answer. Man, born of a woman is of few days and even these few days are full of trouble. The Scripture likened man to a flower that blossoms then gets cut down and as a shadow that eventually disappears. These clearly show that ...

TUESDAY 8TH MARCH 2022 THEME: INGREDIENTS OF MARITAL BLISS MEMORY VERSE Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Ephesians 5:33  BIBLE READING: Ephesians 5:22 - 33  22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself....

FRIDAY, 4TH MARCH 2022 THEME: BENEFITS OF INTERCESSION 1 MEMORY VERSE:  And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.  Numbers 11:3  BIBLE READING: Numbers 11:1 -3 1 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched. 3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them. MESSAGE Intercession can be simply described as the act of saying a prayer or making a statement on behalf of another person or group of persons. The ministry of intercession is as old as human history itself and it can come in different forms. For example in Genesis 4:15 we see God ‘interceding’ for Cain – a murderer:  And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoev...
