The Defender of the Righteous
Memory verse: - Ps 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
Bible Reading: - Psalms 5: 1 – 12
Message
One of the Old Testament saints that had cordial relationship with God was David and God himself testifies of him that ‘he was a man after my own heart’. God even though He is high and lifted up far above heavens hears prayers and it is the right thing to do for believers to cry unto him everyday – morning and evening.
Let that fellowship be cordial and sweet by taking away iniquity far away from thy tabernacle – from your life because God hates leasing and all forms of sins that constitute barriers to answering prayers. God hates workers of iniquity and that which is to be known of God is clearly written in all his creatures, God loves us all but he hates sin. And this is what makes the difference between those that fear God and those that fear him not. Those that fear God will say like Joseph “how shall do this great wickedness and sin against God” because he knows that all things are naked and open before God whom we have to do. And God that seeth in secret shall take them from the dungeon of prison to the palace and make them prime ministers of the land.
He is still the defender of the righteous, he has not changed; if he delivers Daniel from the lion’s den, he can still do more for his people today; you remember Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace; He came in at the right time to deliver them as the defender of the righteous.
He knows that the time of departure of Peter was not yet and he came down to set him free from the prison where Herod kept him; Paul and Silas were delivered by him. It pays to be righteous because the Lord will be there to fight for you.
Saul with thousands of soldier pursued David for years, but God did not allow him to hurt him until he eventually perished. They can throw their spiritual arrows at you and do all sort of evil against you, but one thing is certain, they cannot prevail against you. The Lord did not say they won’t fight you, they will but he said they will not prevail against you.
Jer 1:19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
Jer 20:11 But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
You are righteous in Christ Jesus, because immediately you accepted him as your personal Lord and saviour; you have his righteousness inputted upon you and when God sees you in Christ, he sees you in righteousness and will fight your battles for you. He is the defender of the righteous; he has not change I say he will defend you and will not tarry; he will not suffer you to be put to shame.
Confession of the Day: - The Lord is my defender; I will not fear what man shall do unto me because they will stumble and fall that seek my downfall; for the Lord will discomfit them.

Prayer Points: -Heavenly father, help me to maintain cordial fellowship with you diligently; let not sin of whatever degree have dominion over me; deliver me from haters of my soul in Jesus name. [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
