Commend Yourself to God and His Word
Memory verse: - And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.[Acts 20 :32]
Bible Reading: - Acts 20:1 – 38
Message
God is Jehovah – Elshaddai who is more than able to keep those that commit themselves unto him and his word. David said thy word has I kept in heart that I might not sin against you. If you have the word in you it becomes rhema [spoken word] that is potent enough to wade off your spiritual enemies like demons and devil their master. The Bible itself is logos [written word] which will do you no good if kept under your pillow or on dinning table without having it in you. This is one of the reasons why devil and his cohorts try as much as possible to hinder you from reading, meditating, memorizing and internalizing the word; there is nothing devil fears more than the Bible [logos] becoming rhema [spoken word] in a believer. Devil and his agents know the word and they do not want you to know it so that they can keep you in bondage for the scripture says my people are gone into captivity because they lack knowledge and Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth put into use will set you free. The word of God known as the word of his grace can build you up, strengthen, stablish and preserve you unto his heavenly kingdom. The word kept Joseph and he said to the woman how shall do this great wickedness and sin against God. Therefore, study the word to show yourself approved unto God as a workman that needeth not be ashamed but rightly dividing the word and devil will tremble before you.
To show you how potent the rhema is, look back at when Jesus was tempted by the devil; Jesus overcame him by the use of the word that it is written against the three temptations devil brought before him; devil had to leave him because as the word personified – he has the word in him.
If you surrender your will to God making him increase while you decrease, he will be able to carry you through. And in doing this you must be in regular and diligent fellowship with God; there must be father son relationship; you must develop yourself to the point of hearing him as much as he hears you. Jesus said I know my sheep and they know me; they hear my voice and follow me and will not follow strangers. God is able to keep you and his word of grace is able to build you up unto the measure of Christ: deep, rooted and grounded.
I exhort you this morning to have the word in you and to wholly rely on God who is able to keep you to the very end through total submission to his will and his ways.
Confession of the Day
I will give myself to reading, meditating, memorizing and dissemination of the word by his grace and I shall surely be kept by his power.
Prayer Points
My father and my God illuminate me and grant me clear understanding of the word every time I read the word.
Deliver me from the devil and evil spirits that will not enable me to read the word.

Write your word upon the table of my heart and build me up by the word; keep and preserve me unto the very end through the word and your power in Jesus name.

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...
