YE HAVE NEED OF IT
MEMORY VERSE: - Heb 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
BIBLE READING: - Gen 25: 1 – 34
MESSAGE
One of the fruit of the spirit that must be evident in the life of a redeemed child of God is patience, endurance and willingness to wait without losing your perseverance.
Isaac got married to Rebecca at the age of forty years and has to wait for another twenty years before Esau and Jacob came – this is a true patience.
If you find yourself in this situation you need to learn from them and this is why it was written for us. While waiting, Isaac prayed for his wife and was entreated of the Lord.
Your friends, colleagues and relations will mount pressure on you to do contrary to God’s will so as to bear children, don’t yield to their pressure; it is not strange, it happened to men closer to God even than you are. But because they knew their God they received their miracle children and the scripture says in Ps 115:12 – 14 that “the Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great. The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children”.
The will of God for you and I is to pray to God concerning our problems and patiently wait for the answer if we have prayed according to his will.
Lack of patience will make us leave the best of God for the worst of the devil. Every good and perfect gift comes from God in whom there is no variableness and any shadow of turning who gives liberally to all that ask of him.
If you seek to get what you want from any other source without God, it cannot be the best God has for you.
Those that waited patiently for God asking, knocking and seeking in ceaseless prayers always get the best.
Behold Samuel of Hannah – great prophet in Israel; John the Baptist of Elizabeth – a fore runner of our Lord Jesus; Jabez of Judah was honourable than his brethren because he sought for God of Israel in prayers and change the garment of reproach put on his family by the devil.
Why are you anxious? Why do you fret when you can pray, cast your worries upon him and have your rest; and you shall have that which you requested for.
Remember after you might have prayed, you need patience and the answer will come, it will not tarry; God never comes late; he is mindful of you; he will not withhold good things from the upright ones.
Confession of the Day
I know that the trial of my faith worketh patience, hence worry and anxiety be bruised under my feet.
Prayer Points
Circumcise my heart Oh Lord, so that your peace like a river will flow through me steadfastly.
Help me to cultivate the habit of waiting patiently for you in all situations.
Deliver me from worry and anxiety, the enemies of faith.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

Image
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 ...

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...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
