PRAYER OF FAITH
MEMORY VERSE: - Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
BIBLE READING: - Dan 9:1 – 27
MESSAGE
There are various kinds of prayer in the scriptures with rules governing each of them and this must be known so as not to pray amiss. There is a prayer of faith – which is the prayer to change things or prayer of petition. This prayer is based on the word of God and there is no “if” in it.
The prayer of faith will heal the sick, that is change his situation from sickness to wholeness, wellness and soundness. It will surely do so because the Lord has a healing covenant with his people and he said in Ex 15:26 that “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee”. He is the Lord that heals us
In today’s reading Daniel discovered from the book of Prophet Jeremiah the number of years Israelites at his time will remain in captivity. Because the number of years had already been fulfilled, God will do nothing for their release unless somebody prays asking him to do it. Daniel then stood in the gap, confessed their sins and reminded God his word and the answer comes almost immediately; the situation was changed.
In this vain, when you see anything happening around you contrary to the revealed will of God you know; you must pray against such things and the situation must surely change. In 1Jn 5:14 “….... If we ask any thing according to his will he hears us”
The rule of this prayer is to remind God of his word with sure assurance that he will answer because he had promise that; but must be done in righteousness, in holiness because God does not hear sinners.
Confession of the Day

I will pray according to God’s revealed will in faith and believe that it is done, it is mine, I have received, it is settled.

ONE WITH GOD IS MAJORITY

Open Heaven 31st January 2018 Wednesday MEMORISE :  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  Romans 8:31 READ:  2 Kings 6:11-17 11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel? 12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. 13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan. 14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about. 15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved the

BLESSED WITH EVERY PNEUMATIKOS BLESSING

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Some people think that the term “spiritual blessing” refers to only non-visible and intangible blessings like peace and joy. To them, God’s promise of “every spiritual blessing” excludes the tangible blessings of health, provision, a healthy marriage and so on. They say things like, “Don’t expect God to remove this tumor because our blessings are only spiritual.” Beloved, do you know what the word “spiritual” here means? In the original Greek text, it is pneumatikos, which in this context means having properties and characteristics belonging to the Spirit of God. So if you have the  pneumatikos  blessing of health, for example, it means that it is of the Spirit of God, and therefore does not depend on your exercising or dieting. A church member had high blood pressure which did not normalize even after he started exerc
