The Wonder Working Saviour 1

Saturday 4 June
READ: Acts 10: 38
MORE LESSON: Psa. 44: 1 - 4

In Acts 10:38, we have the testimony of Jesus' life and ministry: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. This is the report about Jesus that ''He went about doing good”. This is the report that many heard about Him and they came running to Him; and nobody went to Jesus when He was physically on earth without getting the solution to his problem. Even before Jesus was born, it had been prophesied about Him by the prophet Isaiah, He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed: Isa 53:5. So one of the wonders that you can expect from Him is the remission of your sins and healing of your sickness. According to Psa. 103: 2, the Lord is He who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases. It is a matter of fact that the wonders that Jesus would do in your life by His stripes have already been prophesied even before He was born. So God's provision for your miracle pre-dates the need you have. This is why whenever any man comes to the Lord in need of a miraculous intervention, he gets it. This is because the provision for the miracle had been made even before the need arose.
Many prophecies about Jesus even before He was born abound, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called WONDERFUL, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace: Isa.9:6. One of the names of Jesus is literally, 'Wonderful', meaning 'full of wonders'. So Jesus is full of wonders and you can access yours from Him today. The Lord Jesus is the wonder working Saviour and you can always count on Him to work wonders in your life. All you need is to believe in His name and ability. The name of Jesus is full of wonders; use that name today to command the wonder and miracle that you need and watch wonders happen in your situation. Today is a wonderful day and the wonder is in the name and person of Jesus. So, use the name of the wonder working Saviour to command miracles to happen in your life. You shall become a wonder to many, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Use the name of Jesus to command wonders to happen in your situation today.
* Decree healing, salvation and restoration for yourself and your loved ones, in Jesus’ name.
* Ask that the Lord will use your life to show how wonderful He is.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Father, make me sensitive to Your divine signals this month in the name of Jesus.

Learn to Appreciate

Friday 3 June
READ: Psa. 139: 14
MORE LESSON: Psa. 139: 17

So much has been said about ingratitude and how it wrecks a man's life. An ingrate can never be great. A man that receives things from God and man and cannot say 'thank you' is like a robber. Learn to appreciate God; remember that all you have is given to you by God. As expressed in 1 Cor 4:7, For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
There is no man that doesn't owe God thanks because there is no man that has the ability to possess anything by himself; it is only in God that you have anything. A man may even not acknowledge God and declare that he got all that he has outside of God. However, it is only because God has permitted you that you have it. The rich fool in Luke 12: 16 – 21 lost his life because he thought that he got all he had by himself and he didn't appreciate God. The breath you breathe, the life you have are from God, appreciate Him
You also need to learn to appreciate people. Everyone that God has used to bless you deserves a thank you. You should appreciate the people that God has brought into your life. Husbands need to appreciate their wives, wives need to appreciate their husbands, parents need to appreciate their children and children need to appreciate their parents. If you grumble and complain about someone, the person becomes worse but when you appreciate people, they become better and better. You must learn to sincerely compliment people and praise them. When someone does well, don't hold the compliment back; give it to him/her generously.
Finally, you must learn how to appreciate yourself. How can you expect people to appreciate you when you do not appreciate yourself? Celebrate how you look, no matter how. I always insist that anybody taller than me is too tall and anybody shorter than me is too short. When you are exactly like me, then you are perfect. Many people keep complaining about not getting a marriage partner, and they are responsible by always being unhappy about the way they look and who they are. If you do not desire yourself, who then will desire you? Learn to celebrate yourself. Celebrate the job you have at hand even if you are looking for a better one. In all that your hand finds to do, rejoice. One of my pastors said, “It's only what you promote that will promote you”. I found that to be true. Many are not promoted because they are not even promoting themselves. Learn to appreciate yourself. It is wickedness and self-punishment for you to be exerting yourself at a thing, and you are not appreciating what you are doing yourself.

Prayer/Action
* Father, I ascribe all the glory to Your name for everything in my life, in Jesus’ name.
* Father, thank You for who I am today, and where You are taking me to tomorrow, in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
I take the shield of faith and I ward off every arrow of disaster and pain in this sixth month in the name of Jesus

Mind Your Success

Thursday 2 June
Read: Psa. 30:6-12
More Lesson: I Cor. 10:12

The time of success is a very crucial time for a man to be careful. Anyone can be humble and seek God when he is in need. It is the time when things work fine that you need to be cautious so that you will not slip away from God. When a church has few people and growth is needed, a lot of fasting and prayer goes on; the congregation seeks God, 'Oh Lord enlarge our coast, multiply us, increase us, bring more workers, bring more pastors, the devil must be silenced etc.'' Then multiplication comes and you begin to have first, second and third services with overflows. The time when the congregation gets enlarged is the time to be careful. You can buy musical instruments without fasting; you can build structures just by announcing and asking people to put money together. This is the time you must watch your message and ensure you are still holding unto the principles and truths that God delivered to you. Increase in church means greater number of good and bad people. As more people come in, the devil also sends in fornicators, Jezebels, and moneybags who want to determine what you preach to them because they can pay for everything in church. At such times, you need grace to be careful and not let pride, men and the flesh lead you astray and destroy the foundation that you have laboured to build over years.
This is the same with a business man who fasted and prayed seeking for God's help and asking God to send increase, destiny helpers, favour, and to lock the devil up. There is no problem with increase; you can be ambitious, hardworking and ask God for prosperity. But when the money reaches your hand, the god of this world tells you that making more money is more important than serving God or fellowshipping with Him. The time of success is the time to watch and pray more. Maybe you were always in church and belonged to several units when you were seeking for a life partner, now that you are married, you need to watch and pray lest you slip away from seeking God.
The psalmist, who sought God passionately, got to a place of success where he said to himself; and in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved: Psa 30:6. Then trouble struck, but for God's mercy that located him and caused the mourning that he landed in to be turned to joy again and make his glory to sing one more time. Do not get to a point where, because God has blessed you, you say to yourself, 'No shaking anymore, we have arrived’, Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall: 1 Cor 10:12.

Prayer/Action
* Father, in the name of Jesus, my God-given success will not lead me away from Christ.
* Deliver me Lord from every success that is a bait to lead me astray.
* My success in life will strengthen my faith, in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Because the Bible says that the days are evil, therefore, I redeem my month of June from all evil in the name of Jesus

The God of Help

Tuesday 31 May
READ: Isa. 41: 10 – 16
MORE LESSON: Psa. 121: 1 – 6

One vital determinant of the quality of help a man obtains in destiny is the issue of who is giving the help. This is why I want to introduce you to the God of help. He is the God who put the universe together in six days. If He can create the entire universe in six days, then helping you cannot be too difficult for Him. Consider His promise to you, So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand: Isa 41:10 (NIV). Your help is bigger than man; it has its root in the Creator of Heaven and earth. This is the reason you should not look unto men but unto the Omnipotent God who, when He helps you, causes men to help you. Psa. 121: 1 says: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He promised that He will not suffer your foot to be moved. . When the God of help stands by you, your feet are steady and your steps do not stagger in the race of life (Psa. 18: 36). This means that no one can remove you when He has planted you. The enemy might even set ambush for you but divine help makes you outwit them as you operate above natural faculties. God's help in dealing with your enemies is expressed in Isa 41: 11(NIV): All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. I declare that God will help you to the point that your enemy will be confounded and all that are waiting for your steps to stagger will wait in vain.
The God of your help neither slumbers nor sleeps. When you are asleep and the enemies are shooting their arrows, there is One who is awake 24 hours a day throughout eternity watching over you. So you have a Helper that doesn't sleep and is working while you sleep. The enemy specialises in attacking while men sleep (Matt 13: 25) but the enemy is inconsequential even when you are asleep because your Helper doesn't sleep. This is the reason the sun will not smite you by the day or the moon by night (Psa. 121: 6-7). You also do not need to be afraid of the terror by night; nor the arrow that flies by day (Psa. 91: 6). Day or night, your Helper doesn't fail.
There shall be no accident, misfortune, violence or plague around you this year. The God who has been our help in ages past will continue to be your portion in the land of the living. Stay with this God, and don’t seek or follow another god, Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips: Psa. 16:4.

Prayer/Action
* I receive help from Your sanctuary, in Jesus’ name.
* Lord, I set my face on You as a flint, let my help not fail, in Jesus’ name.
* I position myself for God’s help today, in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Father, thank you for the covenant of long life by which you have kept and sustained me since the beginning of this year, I declare, it shall not be stolen in the name of Jesus!
