Thanksgiving
Memory Verse: - 1Th 5:18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Bible Reading: - Psalm 103: 1 – 22

Message
The memory verse says in all things, give thanks – in season (when it is suitable or convenient) and out of season (when it is not convenient when it is not suitable) give thanks; in plenty and in want, give thanks; in joy or in sorrow, give thanks; in fact in any situation you find yourself, so far you are still alive give thanks to God.
Sons, daughters and all possessions of Job were taken away; were destroyed by the devil and Job in all these, blessed the name of the Lord.
Job 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
Today is the last day of this year, you need to look back, count your blessings, name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done. And if peradventure you cannot see anything God has done for you, the fact remains that he spared you life until now and it is the duty of the livings in Christ Jesus to appreciate God.
He saved you from sin and satanic strong holds; he delivered you from the clutches of the devil; he also preserved you in the kingdom from spiritual lions, wolves and serpents; he provided for you and your family and gave you power to work and earn your livings; he is worthy to be praised.
Do you know that some are in the hospital right now groaning under the pain of one ailment or the other, we are not better than them; we are only enjoying the mercies of God upon us and our loved ones.
So I urge you to begin to thank God for:
v  Sending Jesus to die for you and me
v  Salvation of your soul
v  Your preservation in His kingdom
v  His provision
v  Your sustenance
v  The blood of Jesus, name of Jesus and for his unfailing promises
v  Peace all around you despite thousands of lives that were wasted. God has been nice to us, he is worthy to be praised.
Confession of the Day
I will praise God for all he has done already for me; for what he is doing now and for that which he will still do.
Prayer Points
Lord, in all things help me to be grateful unto you; praising you, thanking you rather than complaining. And let all my adoration, praises and thanksgiving together with pure meditation of my heart be acceptable unto you in Jesus name [Amen]

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...
