A Good Result

READ: Heb.11:2
MORE LESSONS: Gen. 1:31
Bible Reading in One Year: Leviticus 17-19

Results are positive impacts and achievements. The issue is about having something to show for your labour, being outstanding among equals; it is achieving, prevailing, impacting, conquering and being a champion. The word 'good' brings in a different dimension to it. It denotes that there are certain achievements in life that are negative, which implies that not every result is positive. There are results people call good but which are not. For example, it is good to be wealthy but a man who made money by dubious means does not have a good result. Bagging a first class degree is a good result but a first class got by cheating is not a good result. Having good result is not just in having an achievement but in having an achievement that is positive. It is possible to have good result. The best things should be done by God's children; electricity, cars, the telephone and many other scientific exploits were by Christians. The best universities in the world started as Christian universities. The best university today on this side of Africa is a private Christian university. The first private university in Nigeria was established by a Christian Bishop.
Being a Christian is not about living pitiably. The God you serve is not one t o be pitied, so you must not be. Redemption, salvation and righteousness are about showing off the beauty and glory of your God who created the sun, the moon, the stars. We are called to represent the of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who calls those things that be not as though they were, and they answer Him. The whole of creation is a proof of a God of good result. This beautiful world, including you, is a product of Jehovah's good result, for you are beautifully and wonder fully made .Therefore, His greatest desire is that all His products will also in turn be a source of good result. He wants you to do great things; be an inventor, a ruler, great mover, an achiever (III Jn. 2). He has also given you promises on how to achieve this: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, thou knowest not: Jer .33:3. The age of thinking Christianity is for mediocrities and the weak has passed: therefore, think great, act great, prepare great. Go for the great things from today and I see God helping you to achieve them according to His promise: Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great,... Job 5:25.

Prayer/Action
* Before you go out today, anoint yourself for good result, breakthrough and help.
* Prophesy to your destiny to stay above every spirit of smallness.
* Ask the Spirit of God to fall upon you today and produce a God-kind of life.
* Proclaim yourself a celebrity in destiny by the power of God.

God Cares for You II

READ: Mark. 4:35-41
MORE LESSONS: Matt.10:29-31
Bible Reading in One Year: Leviticus 14-16

Today we want to use two analogies from the Bible to show that God cares for you. And the same day, when the even was come, He saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he in the ship. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, ‘Master, carest thou not that we perish?' And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith? Mark 4:35-41. The storm was so great and the devil had the audacity to attack the ship with Jesus inside. This is a lesson we should learn; even with the presence of Jesus there could still be an attack on your ship but the question as the disciples asked is: Master, carest thou not that we perish? He cares! And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. In Matthew 14:22-32, the devil restrategised. This time Jesus was not there when he attacked. Jesus told His disciples to go to the other side of the lake while He went to pray.
When the disciples were in the middle of the sea, the devil attacked them; he sent a contrary wind to destroy them. The devil didn't attack at the brink of the water; he knew they would swim and escape to the land. Moreover, the attack came in the early hours of the day when no man would be able to help them. But when it looked as if there was no more hope, Jesus appeared walking on the water. That is what the Bible means when it says God will not leave you nor forsake you. Whatever situation you are passing through today, God is connected to you; He cares for you and He will never leave you nor forsake you. At the end of the day, the storm not only ceased, but Peter also had a testimony that he walked upon the water. I see you walk upon the waters of your troubles, in the name of Jesus. All you need to do is to never give in to Satan’s blackmail that God does not care; it discourages you and weakens your faith. Don't give up your faith. Hold on to God and trust His Word; it will not fail.

Prayer/Action
* T ell the devil, “I will walk on top of my challenges, in Jesus’ name.”
* Rebuke every type of fear and satanic threats over your destiny.
* Lay your hands on your head and declare that you will not sink in destiny.

God Cares for You

READ: Heb 13:5-6
MORE LESSONS: I Pet. 5:
Bible Reading in One Year: Leviticus 11-13

There is a question people often ask when in the midst of adverse unexplainable situations and circumstances. Does God care? When John the Baptist was in prison, he expected Jesus to do something to get him out but Jesus did not do anything. Also the Scripture records that a friend that Jesus loved was sick to the point of death and his sisters sent for Jesus but He didn't come on time, so Jesus' friend, Lazarus, died from the sickness. Martha asked as other people ask, Lord, Don't you care that . . .? Lk. 10:40. This same question was asked by Martha when she was busy and tired in the kitchen and her sister was not helping her. When there are difficulties, failures or marital problems ; when something negative happens to you or when others are receiving letters of promotion but you get the opposite; when those that got married after you have given birth to five children but you are still waiting on God, the question you ask is: God do You really care? I want you to know that God cares for you. Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deut 31:6 That is what God is saying. Whatever the situation you are facing, God says He will not leave you nor forsake you. For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people. 1 Sam 12:22 Are you a child of God? Then the Lord will not forsake you; He will keep you and help you. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Ps 27:10.
A mother may forsake her sucking child but the Lord will not forsake you. Isa.49:15How can you have these promises and allow anything to tell you that God does not care for you? In every area of your life and no matter what you are passing through, hear what God says today: ''I CARE FOR YOU.'' Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you: I Peter 5:7. More than the care of a wife, husband or pastor, God cares. All you need to do is to cast your care, worry and trouble upon Him because He cares for you. This is the testimony of Peter who had been with Jesus and his conclusion is that God cares for you. Only cast your care upon Him.

Prayer/Action
* Give thanks to God for He cares for you and for all His promises over your destiny.
* Praise God for being a faithful God.
* Tell God you believe His faithfulness over you will not fail.
* Read Psa. 23:1-6 and claim the promises.

Live in Your Own Kingdom

READ: Luke 17: 20-21
MORE LESSONS: I Cor . 6:9-1 1
Bible Reading in One Year: Leviticus 8-10

The word 'Kingdom' is a two syllable word: King and dom(Domain) where the king stays. When you get born again a kingdom is set up on your inside. There are two dimensions to possessing God 's Kingdom- His Kingdom is right now inside us and we will also enter into His kingdom in heaven when we leave this temporal world. His Kingdom inside us is brought about by the presence of God in our lives through the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom we are looking up to enter in heaven is also by the Holy Spirit of God. So the Kingdom of God, both now and here after, is about the power, righteousness, peace and joy of the Holy Spirit (Rom 14: 17).
There is yet another kingdom-the kingdom of Satan. This kingdom also has two dimensions to it: the kingdom of darkness as located in the heart of every wicked sinful person and the kingdom of darkness which every sinner goes to after this temporal earth passes away, that is the lake of fire. Man is created to rule over the earth. This means men have their own kingdom on the earth but every man is either part of the Kingdom of God or the kingdom of Satan. So, we have three kingdoms; the Kingdom of God (spiritual), the kingdom of Satan (spiritual) and the kingdom of men (physical). In this present age there is a conflict between the kingdom of God on our inside and the work of wickedness of the kingdom of darkness in the children of disobedience. Jesus has His Kingdom here on earth in the same way as Satan. Every kingdom has a king; those he rules (the subjects) and the rules that guide that kingdom (law). The king who rules your destiny determines the kingdom to which you belong. A believer already belongs to God's Kingdom so he goes to heaven when he dies because the King takes him/her to the location where He physically dwells and rules. The same thing happens to the sinner in whom Satan has a throne; so when he/she dies, he is taken to where his king lives.
The Word of God is the constitution or law of God's Kingdom. When a believer is born again and is full of the Word of God then he is fully of God's Kingdom. For many people, Jesus is the Lord of their lives but they want to live by the law of Satan's kingdom. You cannot implement the law of one kingdom in another kingdom. As a child of God, there are certain things you cannot do. In God's Kingdom there is law but in the kingdom of darkness there is lawlessness. If you want to remain a member of the Kingdom of God, you have to keep the laws of the Kingdom. Many believers love the power and joy in the Kingdom of God and also the lawlessness in the other kingdom, but you have to choose on. Stay under God's Kingdom and

Prayer/Action
* Rededicate your life and ways to Him and His Kingdom afresh today.
* Proclaim that the power of the kingdom of darkness will not prevail against you.
* Plead the Blood of Jesus over your spirit and body now.
