Remove the Obstacles (I)
Memory verse: - Acts 6:7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Bible Reading: - Acts 6: 1 – 15
Message
It is a well established fact of the scriptures that anytime children of God come together to worship and have fellowship with their father, Satan always has his representative among them.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
Job 2:1 again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.
When God delivered his people from Egyptian’s captivity, the mixed multitude [some Egyptians] followed them having seen the mightiness of their God; but along the way the murmur and caused great problem for them on their way; they pushed them against their God. Judas Iscariot was also planted among the Disciples of Christ; not that Christ made mistake; he knew all along that he was there as the child of perdition and he allowed it for the will of God to be done.
Now in the early church, this evil of partiality and murmuring rear its ugly head and would have caused a great dissension and division among them if not because it was well managed by the disciples through the help of the Holy Spirit.
In every Christian assembly today, in your ministry as a youth leader, as women leader, as a choir master; as a Pastor and what have you; you need to be attentive and vigilant, full of the spirit of God to solve such problems that can hinder the growth of the word and the church of God purchased by the blood of the lamb.
Murmuring, divisions, misunderstanding, misrepresentation, misinterpretation and partiality must be rooted up from the church of God so that the word can be multiplied. Be a builder and not a destroyer of God’s work; avoid and abstain from things that can cause division in the church.
Confession of the Day
I will by His grace gather with the Lord; I will not scatter, neither will I be the cog in the wheel of His kingdom’s progress.
Prayer Points

Thank you God for the wisdom through the Holy Ghost given to the early church to solve the problem of murmuring which you hate; help me as a person to solve problems in my family; in my ministry; in my secular life and in all ramifications; make me one of the builders of your kingdom with you and not he that scatters abroad what you are building; use me to populate heaven and to depopulate the kingdom of hell.

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
