Right Attitude in Distress
Memory verse: - Ps 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
Bible Reading: - Psalms 6: 1 – 10
Message
This time around, the psalmist was passing through some chastisement as a result of something he had done that displeased the Lord.  When you are in Christ and Christ is in you, you will enjoy the time of refreshing that come from the Lord; there will be inner peace for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink alone, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost; even your enemies shall be at peace with you. On the other hand all the aforementioned blessing and many more will be lost if one departs from the Lord or if one goes into sin as the case of the Psalmist in our text today. Sin in believer’s life opens the way for bad things to come upon him and this was rightly pointed out in the scriptures by our Lord Jesus Christ:
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
When you see affliction and oppression of the devil upon you, the right thing to do is to go to God in heart searching and genuine repentance; and when you truly repents and call upon the Lord; he will hear and restore your peace unto you; he will also make all your enemies to be at peace with you.
Just like the Psalmist, Jeremiah passed through the same experience of sickness unto death, but he returned and sought the face of God and his health was restored to him. God is our father [those that have jettisoned the devil and his works] who has good thought concerning us and to give us the expected end; go to him when you are in distress with full assurance that he will hear thee and solve your problem for you and you shall not be put to shame.
Confession of the Day
As a child runs to his father for help in times of need; so will I rely on God in times of distresses and problems.
Prayer Points
Lord, hear me when I call, cast me not away from you; draw me closer and showers your mercy me; let me not stray away from in troublous times; uphold me with thy right hand of righteousness till the end.

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...
