Bible Reading: Jeremiah 33:3
Memory Verse: Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.’ Jeremiah 33:3 (AMP)
Daddy Mike Bamiloye once said: I remember some times ago, we were in terrible financial, psychological and emotional storms. The pressures were so much on us and we were in series of prayers night and day till we did not know how else to pray. One morning, I was so overwhelmed with this pressures and needs that I did not know how to pray again and I began to shout: Je-e-e-esus! Je-e-e-e-e-sus! Je-su-u-u-us! And I was shouting that name in tears! Now, about one or two weeks later I looked back, and most of those needs had been met already.
Those mountains that were standing threateningly to fall upon us were no longer there. They had disappeared. Those raging storms that were threatening to capsize the boat had been calmed now. At another time, we had just concluded a major film shooting. And while we were preparing for this filming project, there were a lot of financial pressures all around us. The pressures were so overbearing that we didn’t feel anything about the approaching filming project. I could not concentrate properly. I could not prepare very well for the filming. I could not go over the script to prepare myself for the directing. We have not bought the food for the welfare. We have not got the money for the honorarium…no preparation whatsoever. The storms of needs have overwhelmed us.
But, every morning, around 5am and at times by 2am, my wife and I would be up praying all manner of prayers. At times, she would be rounding off while I was just beginning mine. Then, the filming shooting day came and casts began to arrive. Provisions and supplies came astoundingly. The film location became very sweet and interesting. The entire filming looked glamorously fantastic and we were eating three times on set for five days and we were able to give everybody something at the end, even if not as much as we ought to…yet, everybody got something except few extras we could not attend to before they left the set. When the film location was rounding off, we never wanted it to end. It was very good…PRAY! CALL UPON HIM! HE WILL ANSWER!

HYMN: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior Divine;
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.
2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4. All thru life’s transient dream,
Until death’s sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll,
Blest Savior, with Thy love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Make me Thy grace to prove
