GLEANS - THE FUTILITY OF HOPE WITHOUT HOLINESS

TOPIC: THE FUTILITY OF HOPE WITHOUT HOLINESS

Keeping the old landmark is a channel to making it to heaven at the last days no matter how fervent The Foundation and Doctrine of the Master Land Mark

·        Falsehood and danger of Morden Days liars

·        Faithfulness of Disciple with Ministerial Loyalty

POINT 1: THE FOUNDATION AND DOCTRINE OF THE MASTER LAND MARK

Luke 6:47 Luke.16:18-20 Luke 6:47-50 Mat.28:18-20 John 8:30-33

Jesus is our saviour and our sanctifier and baptizer of the Holy Ghost. Christ has made all provision for us to make at the last days, which is except we repent we shall likewise perish, and believing that He is the only way to salvation, foundation Christ has lay pattern even in marriage that we are to abstain from committing adultery, making it to heaven does not count on the riches of this world or satisfaction.

Christ in making foundation for us to make it to heaven he spoke about hell, and this is the destination of those that do not abide in the Lord, and He spoke about heaven and He said He has gone to prepare a place, for us if it were not so He would have told us. For those that hear the word and believe not he is like a house build upon sand and when the wind come it below it away, and God has lay foundation for us to teach every about the kingdom salvation and sanctification letting them know the danger of sin and it subsequent consequences.

POINT 2: FALSEHOOD AND DANGER OF MORDEN DAYS LIARS

Job 24:2 Zep.3:4 Eze.13:22 Jer.23:13-14 2^nd Peter 2:1,15-17 1^st Cor.4:2-4 2^nd Tim.2:2 Ps.119:9 1^st King 22:13

Falsehood are false prophet that change the old land make with their doctrine and turn many into error, this kind of people pollute the church because they are backsliders and the modify the word of God. With lies the make the heart of the righteous to be sad because of the misinterpretation of Gospel and such preacher are not working with God the know how to read the bible and twist it upside down such people are false prophet so therefore flee away from such falsehood, note this the come as good, caring claiming to be full with holy ghost but the Lord is commanding us to watch such people so that we should not go to their lies.

This falsehood teacher have their agendas leading people hell and them will follow them that the deceive to hell as well, this falsehood teachers instead of growing the will be throwing back.

God is warning us not to go into the errors of false teachers, but be steadfast in season and out of season for the foundation has been laid for us to follow, it is require that a man be found faithful, faithfulness in God service is imperative, if we must make to heaven.

GLEANS - THE HIGHER WAY OF THE HEAVENLY CALLING

TOPIC: THE HIGHER WAY OF THE HEAVENLY CALLING

TEXT: Hebrews 3:1- 4; 2 Timothy 4:9; Philippians 3:13 Isaiah 35:8

We have to become children of God before we can be partakers of the heavenly calling. For "if any man be in Christ is a new creature". 

Christ has called us with a heavenly calling and this is calling is associated to those that are save and been born again forgiving and save from sin. The higher calling is a heavenly, holy calling leading us to the glorious future, for no lion shall be there or any beast shall go in there to respond to this heavenly calling. But the redeemed shall work therein, those whose sin has been forgiven.

The neglected  the way  Eccl.10:15 Jeremiah 6:16-17 ;44:17;18:7-10 Hosea 8:2-3, 12 Hosea 4:6 Hebrews 4:1;2:1Mat.7:18-23 Luke 13:24-28 2 Tim.4:1-8 Hebrews 11:8 Jer.7:23 Gen.22:18 Exodus 23:22-25 Deuteronomy 13:6-8; 1 Samuel 15:22 Job 36:11 Jer.26:3,13 Acts 5:28-32 Roman 6:16

We are to find the old part and walk therein, not neglecting the word of God but consciously working therein. If we must respond this heavenly calling then we should not but permissive will but the very will of God. Children of Israel forsook the old part and the neglect the right part. They way of Christ is the way of turning away from evil for repentance, if we are going to get to heaven then we are to follow the way of the word. 

Many churches today have forsook the old part of preaching repentance and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord, but the delight in preaching miracle preaching and healing but the real thing is strange to them, many people perish today because of lake of knowledge, we are to give proper attention to the word of the Lord we have heard and giving earnest hid to the word of God not letting it slip from us. As we come to this retreat the first thing is salvation, as we hear about the way to heavenly kingdom, our priority as we hear and know about the heavenly calling we should strife by all means to enter through the narrow gate, because the wide gate leads to destruction and eternal condemnation. God love toward human is for everyone to repent and come to the true word of God, for every good tree bringeth fort good fruit and likewise a bad tree bringeth bad fruit, and every tree that bringeth not good fruit shall be cut down. So therefore, we should endeavor to be right with God, and not only professing God with our lips but we should also be ready to do his will. For many will be rejected because the neglect the real thing that is doing the will of God. If you’re a real child of God when you sick you will be healed. 

As Job old on to his conviction he receive double portion of what he had lost, we are to strife no matter what may come to enter in the narrow gate which is our eternal abode as Christian.

Many at the last day will be crying gnashing of teeth because the procrastinate their repentance, knowing full well that the Lord will judge every work. Most times rebuke is not convenient, the Word of God say we should be rebuke for time will come when people will not like to hear sound doctrine, we are diligently  watching all things enduring affliction and doing the work of an evangelize until we finish the work and win the prize. As the word of God come we should obey as the only way leading us to that heavenly calling which is righteous, and if only we will obey the Lord he will heal our Land, for obedience to the Word of God is better than sacrifice, for rebellion is as a sin of witchcraft, if we obey God will be renewed but hypocrite in the heart shall not enter into this heavenly calling. We ought to obey God rather than men..For God is greater than anyone so we are to obey God rather than everyone, and anyone that try to exalt himself more than Christ is an Antichrist, for whom we obey we are servant unto. But God will deposit a power to obey his word  grace will be sufficient to us in Jesus Name.

GLEANS - ADVANCING THROUGH ADVERSITY

TOPIC: ADVANCING THROUGH ADVERSITY

Text: Psalms 31:7, 8, 15, 20 – 24; Genesis 37:23 – 28; 39:1 – 4, 7 – 20; Psalms 105:17 – 21; Genesis 45:5 – 8, 26 – 28; Job 1:1, 8 – 12, 20 – 22; 2:1; 17:9; 19:25; 29:14; 31;1; 42:

The end of your tunnel is very near, the end of your darkness is very near.

The brethren of Joseph were after his dreams, the promises if God upon his life. They sold him to Egypt to see what will become of his dreams. “and the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man” even in a strange land. The temptation will come to fall, as it came to Joseph through his master’s wife. Like he overcame so shall we.

There are people in the Bible that lived victorious lives everyday of their lives, like Joseph. That grace is coming upon you.

When Joseph ran away from the temptation of Potiphar’s wife, she concocted a lie and presented it to her husband. As soon as the man heard his wife’s false report, his anger was kindled and he threw Joseph in prison. Everything seems to be going against Joseph, but progress was going to come out of that adversity.

At the appointed time, Joseph was loosed. There is an appointed time for your freedom, and it is now.

Eventually, there was famine in the whole land, and the only place where there was food was where Joseph was ruler. His brethren had to go there to buy food. He made it clear to them that God was the one Who sent them to be a deliverance to them. Every negative thing in your life is turned into positive. The Lord is looking at your future and He is going to promote you beyond your expectations.

There is advance despite the adversity.

We are not saying advance in adversity. No. the characters we are talking about had no problem. Adversity came later, and they went through it. Whatever adversity comes to you, you will go through it and advance in Jesus name!

Throughout the period of adversity, don’t sin against God.

When the adversity increased, Job’s wife told him to curse God and die. What Job was passing through wasn’t the worst that could happen. The worst that can happen is meeting God unprepared.

Eventually, the end of adversity came. Job got double of all he lost.

Double blessing and provision is coming to you life in Jesus name!

Amen!

GLEANS - UNSHAKABLE ASSURANCE OF THE HOPE OF GLORY

TOPIC: UNSHAKABLE ASSURANCE OF THE HOPE OF GLORY

Text: Romans 5:1; 6:4; 8:1, 16; Colossians 1:27, 13 – 14; Romans5:9; 1Peter 1:19, 13 – 19; 1 Corinthians 15:1 – 4; Titus 2:11 -14; John 17:6; Luke 10:20; 1 Thessalonians 1:3 – 6 – 9; psalms 122:1; 1 John 3:19;coloaian2-23; 1 John 3:1

Eternal life will be granted us if we believe on Him who raised up Jesus, if we believe on Jesus as our substitute, saviour, sufficiency. When we believe, we are identified with Christ.

Conversion is a covenant. Christ having paid the price, He brought us out of our degradation unto Himself and we are married to Him in a covenant relationship. We are expected to bring forth fruits. There must be an assurance in us by the Spirit of the Lord that we belong to God and have the hope of seeing Him when we leave this world.

There is neither justification nor forgiveness without the blood of Jesus. There is no acceptance without His blood. He died that we may have life.

You have a part to play in your salvation.

Jesus died for one purpose – for our sins. If we don’t have the freedom from sin, it’s because we have not appropriated what Christ did on Calvary on our lives.

When we are justified, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We no more have to wonder whether we are going to see God or not when we die.

The grace of God has appeared to all men; however, not all accept it.

GLEANS - HOPE FOR DRY BONES

TOPIC: HOPE FOR DRY BONES

TEXT: Ezekiel 37:1 - 11

The condition the nation is now is similar to what the children of Israel were in the text above. Everyone is asking "IS THERE HOPE"? A new experience is coming into everyone's life. 

The situation changed from dryness to freshness.

When Ezekiel prophesied, he said, "Hear ye the word of the Lord". As you hear the word of the Lord, your life will change.

God gave him the word and he prophesied as commanded. Ministers of the Gospel must be faithful. Ezek 37:10 “So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.”

When he prophesied, the bones and flesh came together, yet they were lifeless. We are not through until He is through.

Your weakness will vanish away, your problems will evaporate.

POINT 1: HELP FOR HOPELESS SOULS

Job 11:13 – 19; Matthew 15:21- 28; 1 Chronicles 4:9, 10; Acts 27:20

We came to the retreat seeking something. Make up your mind to get something. Do not just be in the spectators’ corner.

There is hope.

God is saying, “You are coming out of darkness”.

There is help for hopeless souls. Before God can do anything for us, we must believe that He will and can do it. God changed the situations of women with children, men with children, young men who called upon Him. It is done as you call on God.

POINT 2: THE HERITAGE OF HUMBLE SONS

2 Chronicles 7:14; 33:12, 13; Micah 6:2 – 8; Luke 15:17 – 24, 7

We are to humble ourselves and not wait until someone does something that humbles us – that is humiliation.

We pray because we are humble. We pray because we cannot help ourselves. Religion, churchianity, profession will not save us. Only God can. If your life must change, you must come to yourself, like the prodigal son did.

Pride will compare one’s morality with another. Do more than intend, act!

POINT 3: THE HEART FOR A HIGHER SUMMIT

Psalms 61:2; 42:1; 62:11; 63:1; Jeremiah 29:11, Hosea 10:12

Our prayer should be "Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I"

The power to change you belongs to God.

GLEANS - PARTICIPATING AND PROFITING FROM THE DECEMBER RETREAT

TOPIC: PARTICIPATING AND PROFITING FROM THE DECEMBER RETREAT.

Joshua 3:5, Nehemiah 8:13-

Retreat is an opportunity for you to renew your strength.

Don’t manage your time but maximize your time.

POINT 1: Praying for the December retreat

Psalm 31:10,13,16, Jeremiah 33:3, Matthew 7:7.

God will give us everything but to have we must first ask and have a desire for things. Jesus some much had passion for the word that when his parents were to leave Jerusalem he stayed back at the temple to hear the word.

We must pray and prepare for us to get the best of the December retreat. Without God we can do nothing.

We are to pray for the organizers, the General Superintendent, the invitees, the ministers, the seminars and all other things. Write your prayer requests before the retreat and expect something, be specific.  

The master is calling you unto the retreat. We should be active participants at the retreat and God will lavish his blessings upon us.

POINT 2: Participating in the December retreat

Psalm 68:11, Jeremiah 29:11-13, Isaiah 66:1-2,

To participate is to be involved. When you share the world you are seen as great in the world of God.

For your dream to come to pass you must work it out. We should participate in publicity, giving and feeding of the people. The best place to be at this critical time is to be in the presence of the Lord. God expects everyone to participate.

POINT 3: Profiting from the December retreat

Genesis 32:24, Ezekiel 34:26, Joel 2:21-27. 

At this moment one can have a personal retreat before a collective one. It pays to be alone with God.

In this program we will never leave any prayer point unanswered, we will never let Him go except he blesses us. We must be determined as Jacob, be resolute and desire it.

If you don’t desire God you remain bankrupt spiritually. If you don’t have the word you remain empty.

The power of desire is key to getting answers.

A time came where Jacob said I must settle this with God. And didn’t leave the presence of God until all he wanted was resolved. 

God will pour his oil upon us because we appear in his presence.

I announce to you there is a sound of abundance of rain. 

When you avail yourself in the presence of the Lord you forget you past.

God says to us his people shall never be ashamed.

DAILY MANNA - SUNDAY 16TH DECEMBER, 2018

TOPIC: WINNING THE HOME BATTLE
TEXT: JUDGES 6:6-16
KEY VERSE: "And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?" (JUDGES 6:14).
One of the toughest battles to fight is the battle within. It is a lot easier to identify external foes, study their tactics and take them on in battle. But most times, we hardly recognise the internal foes or we are not bold enough to see them as deadly foes that must be defeated. Our lack of courage may be due to our fear of the reaction of those who will be affected by our decisions or because of whatever temporary pleasure we may forfeit for fighting this battle.

Gideon faced this kind of tough task in the first leadership assignment God gave him. The biggest problem he faced was not the Midianites, but his people who were given wholly to the worship of Baal. His first task therefore was to throw down the idol of his father’s house, signalling his disgust for idolatry. That was sure to incur the wrath of his people, but he had to do this otherwise they would never have victory over their external foes. And thank God, he did!
Before we can take on external enemies, we have to first examine potential problems in our own souls. Check up if you have thrown down those idols of "Baal" around you. They may be long-held family traditions and practices that run contrary to the will and word of God. They may be bottled-up enmity and grudges against another; or a long-cherished carnal indulgence that hinders you from giving your best to the Lord. Understand that no amount of prayers and deliverances conducted for you can give you total and permanent victory until you willingly throw down those idols! Take the step now.

✍THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It is wisdom to make those changes that make people around you uncomfortable.

DAILY MANNA - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2018

TOPIC: SURE HIDING PLACE

TEXT: PSALM 102:1-11.
KEY VERSE "Hide not thy face from me in the day when I'm in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily" (PSALM 102:2).

As humans, as long as we still carry this corruptible body, we are exposed and prone to different physical (health), social, financial and environmental hazards capable of inflicting injuries upon our flesh and minds. In certain instances, these afflictions are from the conditions of living in the society. They challenge our faith, confession and profession.

Afflictions come in different shades and forms. They can take the form of serious sickness, plague, infirmities, depression, recession, oppression, social isolation and constriction, hostile environment and incessant family squabbles. These afflictions draw tears from our eyes but we should not allow the tears to form a cloud of darkness to blind us from discerning the source of the problem and sourcing for respite. Rather, it should produce sparkles of stars to lead us to God, the One who can give us support, succour and final deliverance from affliction.

Seeking help from the wrong sources is like groping in the dark during a storm. God is the only Source of respite. He is omniscient: He knows the very source of the affliction. He knows the solution and has the power to stop the affliction.

God's panacea has no side-effect and no strings attached. When He delivers His own, He secures them under His protection, away from the power behind the affliction. He is worthy to be called upon and awaits our call when life around us is dark and dreary.

✍THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Prayer and faith are the antidotes to the storms of life.
