Endure It
Memory verse: - Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Bible Reading: - Matthew 10:1 – 42
Message
Christ our saviour and his followers suffered cruel and sorer persecutions from Sanhedrin and gentiles for standing uncompromisingly for the truth testifying against the world that her work is evil and nothing else; and they happily endured it, so must we that are in Christ Jesus be ready to endure as many of persecution and tribulation that might come our ways as a result of preaching the gospel to all and sundry.
They did not suffer as thieves or as busybodies in other men’s matter; they did not endure lack, poverty, hunger, satanic afflictions and sickness, rather they reigned over them. Jesus our Lord and saviour was able to care for twelve, yea seventy disciples without lack all through his ministry here on earth. He and his followers did not endure sickness or affliction because they have no place in them.
Sickness, affliction, lack and poverty are not things we must endure; we must reject them for they are not suppose to reign over us. It is written “beloved I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth” and that the inhabitants of the land, of the kingdom of God shall not say I am sick; ye shall serve the Lord and he shall bless your water and your bread and shall take all sickness from the midst of thee and so on.
We have the promise that God had given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him that had called us to glory and virtue; nothing good shall he withhold from him that walk upright, so when lack and infirmity confront us, we need to take hold of the scriptures and reject them while engaging ourselves in godly and profitable business for the scriptures says we must not be slothful in business and in spiritual things we must be fervent.
Therefore, endure persecutions for we must through much tribulations enter into the kingdom of God not poverty, lack or afflictions of the devil. God does not want you sickly and poverty stricken; he wants you well, whole and hearty full of his power to thread upon scorpions and serpents and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nothing from the pit of hell will harm you; lack and poverty will not have dominion over you in Jesus name; but you must endure persecution for we are thereunto called; ye those that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Confession of the Day
Lack, sickness and oppression of the devil I reject, they shall not reign over me. I shall boldly face trials and persecution uncompromisingly till I reach my home far beyond Jordan.
Prayer Point
Lord, help me to hold unto your banner and serve you everywhere I go with power to say NO! when I am tempted to deny you because of persecution in Jesus name Amen.

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...
