Regard It Not
Memory verse: - Psalms 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me
Bible Reading: - Psalms 66: 1 – 20
Message
Wrong thought leads to wrong confession and wrong deeds or actions and wrong confession leads to wrong possession. Think right and you will act right and your steps will be ordered by the Lord.
God sees us inside out; he knows what is in man and he cannot be mocked or deceived by man. God knows you better than you know yourself, he knows even what you do not know about yourself; and as much as you know your own thought; God knows better.
Psalmist had good rapport with God; he was a friend of God and a man testified of God himself to be “a man after his own heart”. He knew God is Holy and that his eyes are purer than to behold iniquity. Therefore, his testimony about God is sure and reliable – that if we regard iniquity in our hearts, the Lord will not hear us.
Iniquity therefore, is a barrier, hinderance and a wall of partition between man and God in having our prayers answered.
In view of this, allow it not within you, regard it not, ruminate not over the impure, dirty and filthy thought dangles before you by the devil and his agents. You are to do this yourself; for that which is of good report we must think about, and you know yourself very well than any other person,
You do yourself a lot of good by choosing not to allow impure thought or iniquity within you because it will make your prayers to be heard by God. Jesus will help you if you call upon him; and cleanse your thought or heart by the blood of the lamb.
Philippians 4:8 says “finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Secret sins and thought locked up within us will do us no good; jettison them; cast them away in the name of the Lord lifting up your holy hand and pure hearts to God in prayers and you will be surprise what the Lord will do for you.
Confession of the Day
I will not regard iniquity in my inward part; I will think on things approved by God through his word; I will meditate upon his word day and night. I will keep his word within my heart so that I don’t sin against him.
Prayer Points

Oh Lord circumcise my heart; perform thy surgical operation within me and give me clean and pure heart through the sprinkled blood of the lamb.

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...
