THURSDAY 10TH JUNE, 2021. THEME: BLESSED FRUITFULNESS. MEMORY VERSE: “ In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity.”  (Titus 2:7) BIBLE READING: John 15:1-5 (KJV) 1. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5. I am the vine, ye are the branches; He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing. MESSAGE: Fruitfulness has qualifications, so does growth. Fruitfulness could be negative if the source and nature are outside the plan of God for an individual’s life. There is a kind of fruitfulne...

MESSAGE : Proverbs 4:7 says wisdom is the principal thing because it promotes beyond human imagination. We also know that God promotes, thus we can ...

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 26.

And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else; and my people shall never be ashamed. 28.

Father, we thank You for all our elders...

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand. 11. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 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...

WEDNESDAY, 2ND JUNE 2021.    THEME: STRIVE FOR PERFECTION.    MEMORY VERSE: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48  BIBLE READING: Genesis 17:1-2 1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. MESSAGE: When something is perfect, it means that it is good in itself and there is no complaint about it. It also means that it is so good that it cannot be improved upon. Thus, a perfect Christian is one without blemish. There are Christians who have been saved but not sanctified. Such people may easily get annoyed. Some are saved and sanctified and may not get annoyed as easily. I recall a rehearsal session for a drama that was to be staged in Church years ago. A scene required that a character become very annoyed bu...

TUESDAY, 1ST JUNE, 2021.  THEME: IS GOD SILENT. MEMORY VERSE: “ Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:” ( Isaiah 59:1) BIBLE READING: Isaiah 59:1-3 (KJV) 1. Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear; 2. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 3. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. MESSAGE: Usually, when people think God is silent, He may be speaking but they are just not listening. At other times, they don’t want to accept what He has to say.  God can also be silent when your covenant with Him has been broken. This happened with King Saul who wanted to hear from God as well as familiar spirits. If you have prayed to know God’s mind on certain issues ...

MONDAY 31ST MAY, 2021. THEME: THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live; 20.

As long as you are alive, you will always have to make choices; whether in your career, business, of whom ...
