Bible Reading: Proverbs 3: 13-19
Memory Verse: If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. John 14:14 (KJV)
1. On personal development: Yesterday’s excellence will become today’s mediocrity if you fail to develop yourself.
2. On prosperity: There is nothing wrong in being rich, infact, God wants you to prosper in your spirit and soul. But know this for sure: The Blessings Of God In Your Hands Are Tied To A Kingdom Purpose, and you are accountable.
3. On taking personal responsibility: Blaming others can make you feel good but doesn’t make you good. Confront what needs to be confronted in your family line today once and for all.
4. On consistency: Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you. Clap for yourself during those times, you should always be your biggest fan.
5. On waiting: Isaacs don’t come until it ceases to be for you after the order of women. Hold on to the Word God gave you no matter the adversity. God wants to give you a testimony that no one will doubt He authored it, and that is why all odds are against you.
6. On Quiet time: It takes both grace and discipline to be prayerful and ‘Word-full’.
7. On Open Heavens: Even though Jesus was the Son of God anointed from the womb yet, a man in bodily form called John the Baptist was needed to open his heavens before he could start his ministry. Imagine if Jesus was too proud or offended in John and unwilling to submit to him? Stay humble. Do everything to stay in the will of God.
8. On the devil’s trick: Until the devil manipulates and isolates you, he cannot strangulate you.
9. On leadership: True leaders don’t have ego or pride problems because they know they are here to serve – Myles Munroe.
10. On self-mastery: You must resist your weaknesses, and strengthen your strengths
11. On opposition: You face opposition because you hold a great position. In a football field, nobody attacks a man without a ball. Special destinies, special attacks.
12. On living for Jesus: You are the only Bible some unbelievers will ever read, and your life is under scrutiny every day. What do others learn from you? Do they see an accurate picture of your God? – John MacArthur.
13. On ministry: God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supplies – Hudson Taylor
14. On preparation: If we are to better the future we must disturb the present – Catherine Booth
Prophetic Decree: By the mercies of God, you will not lack a Word that will redirect your steps, in Jesus name.
