Breaking the Force of Dryness

READ: Luke 9:10-17
MORE LESSONS:II Kings 4: 1-7
Bible Reading in One Y ear: Leviticus 24-27

The people mentioned in the text probably had food at home before they came to Jesus but after some days in the desert they were hungry. There was an abundance of the Word of God for the people but they lacked physical food. You need physical prosperity plus your spiritual vitality so that there won't problem. With God there ought not to be any form of dryness. When the disciples complained to Jesus that there was no food, they were announcing what they could see physically but Jesus told them to give food to the people because He saw what they couldn't see. Jesus was teaching them that to break the siege of dryness, you need to see w hat others can't see There are physical solutions to dryness but there is also a spiritual solution. Physical solution for a hungry man is to go and work. You have to do something your hands to end your drought and dryness. Even pastors, whether full time or those involved in 'tent making' like Apostle Paul need to be hardworking. Being a pastor doesn't mean going from house to house doing nothing and being a burden to people. When the Bible says he that does not work should not eat, it is also talking to the pastors.
To break the siege of dryness, change your confession: stop words. The disciples said what they had was too small but it was that same small that fed the five thousand. If you know what to do with your small, it can become great. Jesus took that which they called small, lifted it up to Heaven and blessed it and they ate and still had left-over. God's blessing ends dryness! Learn to present what you have for God to bless; ask for a blessing on your projects, businesses and work and the dryness on them will end. Also, speak prophetically to your dryness to end. Crying has never solved a problem. Learn to speak life! You can also end your dryness by divine wisdom. Go for divine wisdom to generate ideas on what to do and how to do it. The wisdom of God also links you to the right people and location to do it. Sometimes you only need to understand the principle of financial management.
There is a divine wisdom for sowing, saving, avoiding wastage and investing tomorrow. When you finish praying, take a step. Do something about the little you have. If you have a property, you could sell it and use the money for a profitable business. What is the need for a car you cannot fuel when you don't have a job? Sell it. Put the money into something productive; you will later buy a better one. The disciples kept serving the small food they had by believing in what Christ had said. If you want to terminate your dryness, sow a seed (Pro. 11:24). That is foolishness to men but with God that is the way.

Prayer/Action
* Rebuke the forces of famine over your work, in the name of the Lord.
* Release the power of increase and overflow upon your endeavours today.
* Lift your voice and pronounce blessings on your work, business, career and destiny.
* Ask your spiritual head to speak a word of blessing to your business this week.

Your Prosperity is God’s Will

READ: Psa.1 12:1-10
MORE LESSONS:III Jn. 2
Bible Reading in One Y ear: Leviticus 20-23

The God we serve is not a poor God. There is, therefore, no Treason why a father is rich and the son is poor. If a man is poor while his father is rich, something is wrong; he needs to reconnect to his source. It is not right for a Christian to have such a great God and be small. If we serve God, we should be the best. Christianity is not about looking wretched. Poverty and righteousness are not kinsmen and they are not friends. In the past, men thought that when your shoes are worn out or your trousers are patched and your face is gloomy, then you are righteous. That is not Christianity. We need to desist from that perspective of Christian living and get the right understanding. You don't have to get to heaven with its streets of gold and be miserable because you rejected gold on the face of the earth. The dress Jesus wore when He was on the face of the earth was seamless. On the day He was to be crucified, the soldiers were casting lots to decide who would take the dress; that could not have been a rag. Give up wearing rags and a shameful look; you don't deserve such. Look good, look fine both inside and outside for that is the plan and the purpose of God for your destiny . Today’ s reading is a clear expression of God's plan for the righteous: v1. – the righteous is blessed. v2. – his seed shall be mighty on the earth. v3. – wealth and riches shall be in His house. v9. – he shares freely and gives generously to those in need. (NLT)
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… Gen 1: 26. You are made like God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; what they can do, you too can do. They made the heavens and the earth, so you too can create your own world by your words. If your parents gave birth to you in poverty, create your own prosperity by the words of your mouth and by your relationship and connection with the God who made you. God made man to be master over all, so you shouldn't have God and be the one being pitied, kicked around and always borrowing money. This must change in Jesus’ name; you will not be a shame and reproach to the Kingdom. God created you to rule and He blessed you to have dominion over all things. You can only dominate from the top and that is your position, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Give God praise for His plans of prosperity for your life.
* Ask God to fulfill His counsel in III Jn.2 in your life from today.
* Declare that the inheritance of the wicked will not be your portion.
* Ask God to give you the blessing of riches according to His Word.

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.
