WEDNESDAY, 6TH OCTOBER, 2021. THEME: PRACTICAL GRATITUDE. MEMORY VERSE: And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD. 2 Samuel 6:21 BIBLE READING: 2 Samuel 6:14-22 14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. 16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart. 17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. 18 And as soon as David had made an...

TUESDAY, 5TH OCTOBER, 2021. THEME : COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS. MEMORY VERSE: Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant . Psalms 135:3 BIBLE READING: PSALMS 103:1-5 1. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles. MESSAGE Ingratitude is dangerous, particularly when it is directly shown against the Almighty God. There are many things we enjoy from Gods benevolence, but we often take them for granted. At a point when David seemed to be forgetful of the goodness of the Lord, he decided to preach to his soul, according to the Bible reading of today. “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that...

MESSAGE The heart is one of the most vital organs required for mans continued existence both physically and spiritually.

The things that mould life come from the heart. The Bible says ...

SUNDAY 3RD OCTOBER, 2021. THEME: CHRISTIAN COURTSHIP. MEMORY VERSE: Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4 BIBLE READING: EPHESIANS 4:14-15 14. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15. But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: MESSAGE It is one thing to choose the right partner in marriage and it is another to choose the right approach to courtship. A wrong approach to Christian courtship can still lead to problems or failure even when the right choice has been made. Therefore, believers in courtship must be holy through and through if they would eat the good of the land of marriage (Isaiah 1:19). Sister, you must know that a man will typically be at his best during courtship. He would call y...
