I will follow the Mighty One
Memory verse: - Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Bible Reading: - Numbers 33: 1 – 56
Message
The chapter of the book of numbers under review this morning shows the record of goings of Israelites out of Egypt to the promise land. This is written for our learning; but the most striking thing about the passage was that Israelites went out with a high hand in the sight of Egyptians when they were burying their firstborn in every house coupled with intense judgment of God upon their gods. Their gods were unable to save them, neither could they withstand the power of God of Israel who is the true God of heaven and earth and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. While they were mourning, the children of God went out in jubilation for they were delivered from tyrannical rule of Pharaoh who put a heavy yoke of oppression upon them.
This God who is ever mighty and whose power is incomparable and unconquerable, before whom Dagon the – the god of Philistines could not stand will be my God; only him will I serve. He is the master over every situation; no demon can withstand him, even the devil their master will always be in great awe before Him. In him, you and I are saved, we are overcomers, our lives will be hidden with Christ in Him.
I have decided to follow this God through Christ Jesus his only begotten son, no turning back; in him I have overcome the world. Joshua had tasted and knew how wonderful this God is and that was why he challenged the children of Israel to choose this God and prolong their days and that of their family. He is more than able to preserve us to the very end.
He said because you have set your love upon him, he will preserve thee and satisfy thee with long life. Every stubborn Egyptian that fails to repent will disappear like their master Pharaoh. They will fall and will not be able to stand but my God will strengthen me and make me triumph over every foe come what may. I choose to follow the Lord, I jettison every false worship and religion, I hold unto the rugged cross of Christ my redeemer and succourer, I will not give up by his special grace. As the song writer says:
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Confession of the Day: - I will follow and serve the God of heaven and earth; no any other will I serve in Jesus name.

Prayer Points: - I will serve the Lord in truth and in spirit, regardless of what man can do to me

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 ...

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...
