THE LORD CHRIST

THE LORD CHRIST
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward
of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. — COLOSSIANS 3:23,24
When Jesus becomes your Lord, He will want to have something to say about the kind of books you read — about the
amusements you enjoy — about the governing of your physical body.
If Jesus is your Lord, He will want to have something to say about your finances — how you make your money — and howyou use your money.
If Jesus is your Lord, He will want to have something to say about your marriage — about your children — about your home.
He will want to dictate to you regarding your vocation in life and where you live.
Yes, Jesus will want to enter every area of your life, if He’s your Lord. I want Him to be my Lord, don’t you? That’s what makes the Christian life blessed. The lordship of Jesus strips life of its weakness, frailty, and human guidance. It lifts life out of
the realm of the natural and into the supernatural.
Confession:
Lord Jesus, I want You to have Your way in every area of my life. I want You to have Your say-so in every area of my life — in
the books I read, in the company I keep, in the amusements I enjoy, in my companions, in my marriage, in my home, in my finances, and in the way I spend my time.

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...
