BLESSED ASSURANCE
MEMORY VERSE: - Heb 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
BIBLE READING: - Acts 8: 26 – 40
MESSAGE
Genuine salvation takes away every bit of condemnation from the heart of the saved one and replaces it with the joy of the Lord. From our text today, the eunuch went home rejoicing when he was touched by the Lord. It an experience full of assurance, without any shadow of turning you will know it yourself, you will be sure of it, it will embolden you come to God in prayer with a full assurance.
Apart from this, the spirit of God will also bear you witness that you are now a child of God [Rom 8:16]. What a blessed assurance! Have you experience this? If you have not, then I admonish thee to come to the Lord in genuine repentance from all your iniquities, confessing and forsaking them and the mercy of God will descend upon you and full assurance of salvation shall be your portion.
I know a man who was always moody as a messenger in his place of work. He was never cheerful; he keeps to himself most of the time. In fact this man knows no joy. Then a Christian brother invited him to one of their monthly programme in his church. With a lot of persuasion he followed him to the programme and fortunately for him he met Christ at the programme and went home rejoicing.
The following day in the office, he suddenly become cheerful greeting and interacting with others. Ladies in the same office with him could not hide it; they approached him and asked what had happened to him? He cheerfully told them that he had met Christ and that he was now born again.
Can you see that it was not difficult for people to know that he was born again.  If the son therefore set you free, you shall be free indeed.
 1.Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! 
Oh, what a fore-taste of glory divine! 
Heir of salvation, purchase of God, 
Born of His Spirit, wash’d in His blood.   

This is my story, this is my song, 
Praising my Saviour all the day long; 
This is my story, this is my song, 
Praising my Saviour all the day long.   

2.Perfect submission, perfect delight, 
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight, 
Angels descending, bring from above 
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. 

 3.Perfect submission, all is at rest, 
I in my Saviour am happy and blest; 
Watching and waiting, looking above, 
Fill’d with His goodness, lost in His love.
Confession of the Day
I have full assurance that I am saved.

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

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they

SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS

May 3 SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — PHILIPPIANS 4:19 It is God’s will that our needs be met. All of them! Philippians 4:19 includes all of your needs (all means all!), whether spiritual, physical, material, or financial. Believe that! Lest someone think that God is not concerned about our financial needs, this verse is set in a context which discusses material and financial affairs. Read it and you will see that the Philippians had taken up an offering of money and goods to send to other Christians. Paul was telling them, “Because you have given to others and have helped them, my God shall supply all your need.” So Paul was talking about material and financial matters. With what boldness, then, we can pray for finances to meet our obligations! Having all of our needs met is according to God’s will! Confession: When I pray concerning finances, I pray according to God’s Word — His will. Therefore, I am confid
