Sincere Demand
Memory verse: - Numbers 32:5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
Bible Reading: - Numbers 32: 1 – 42
Message
God whom we have to do is holy, perfect, faithful and indescribable, man cannot by searching understand him.
Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
He wants sincere people to serve him; those that speak the truth from their inward part; he hastes deceitful men who will not live up to half their lifetime purposed for them by God for their deception will cut short their lives. So, beware and know that God knows what is in you; if you are sincere, he knows and if otherwise, he knows. He knows man distinctly and does not need any man to testify of man to him; he knows you and the intention within you; he knows why you do that which you do because he is God of knowledge by whom actions are weighed.
Children of Gad and Reuben who had a very great multitude of cattle and when they saw that the place where they were now is good for cattle, they demanded for it sincerely with purpose of heart to continue fighting the battle of the Lord. When Moses, Eleazar the priest and the nobles saw their good intention void of selfishness; they allow them to have that part of land as their possession.
As a child of God who claim to be in Christ, sincerity ought to be your watchword; selfishness should be avoided; it should not reign in you. You must join hand with other believers in fighting the battle for souls to be won into the kingdom of God. if you refuse to attend vigils where prayers are offered for salvation of souls; and boycott evangelism in seeking for the lost souls all in the name of business; are you not selfish? Rest not on your oars until the souls that are troubled without Christ are brought into the kingdom like Gad and Reuben who claimed this side of Jordan for themselves, yet ready to fight with others until their enemies are subdued.
They got that which they demanded for because they were sincere in their demand. When you come to God in demanding for one thing or the other, have a good purpose of heart for God whom you have come to searches the reins of man to know the basis of their demand, if your demand is characterized by selfishness, he knows; nothing is hidden to God who is Omniscience.
Confession of the Day: - I will come to God boldly in times of need with clean and pure hearts and my demand will be met like that of Gad and Reuben.

Prayer Points: - Lord of heaven and earth, purge me this morning and create in me a clean and pure heart void of offence towards man and God; take away selfishness from me and give me passion to seek the dying souls still in their sins.

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...
