A Chaste Virgin Espoused to Christ
Memory Verse: - 2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
Bible Reading: - 2 Co 11:1 – 33
Message
A true believer in Christ must have experienced the greatest miracle of redemption that is in Christ Jesus; otherwise such believer is not of Christ. At salvation, miracle of regeneration occurs in the spirit, and the inner man, the real you is reborn, recreated by God, changed from spiritual darkness to the marvelous light of Christ so much that things you use to do before that are ungodly, you do them no more. No more fornication, adultery, deception, drunkenness, revellings, stealing, falsification of accounts and documents, etc.
At the point of true conversion, a spiritual garment or robe of righteousness is put upon us by our bridegroom Jesus Christ and we become his bride: we are espoused to Christ as a chaste, morally and spiritually pure virgin; washed and made ready for the marriage super of the lamb.
While we await the return of the bridegroom, we must constantly watch against deceitful workers, false teachers, and false preachers transforming themselves into the apostles of light like Satan their master that beguiled, deluded or deceived Eve through his subtilty; so that our minds should not be corrupted from simplicity that is in Christ.
Remember Christ is coming for a church [bride] that is without blemish, spot or wrinkle; a glorious church; holy, pure and chaste and that Satan goes about with oil to soil the holy garment of righteousness you are putting on, therefore be sober, be watchful and be prayerful so that you do not fall into temptation and deception of deceitful workers.
And if you have not experienced the miracle of salvation in Christ Jesus, you still have the grace of this moment to confess your sins to God forsake them and accept Christ as your personal Lord and saviour. The miracle happens immediately you call on Christ and yield your life to him, you will be awakened, quickened and empowered to say no to the tempter and to live holily every day. Tarry no more Christ is there with you, call on him now and be saved.
Confession of the Day
I am a chaste virgin and bride of our Lord Jesus Christ regenerated by his finished work on the cross of Calvary.
Prayer Points
Jesus, the saviour of the whole world, the hope of glory,
Accept me now; cleanse me now;
Quicken me now and enlist me among the children of the heavenly king;
Prepared me for the marriage super of the lamb and
Help me to reign as king for you here on earth and in the world to come [Amen]

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
