Bible Reading: John 6:63
Memory Verse: The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. John 6:63 (NLT)
1. On faith: Faith is not only when results come, sometimes faith is why you stand when results don’t come – Apostle Joshua Selman.
2. On doing great things: If I cannot do great things. I can do small things in a great way – Martin Luther King Jr.
3. On the storms of life: When everything seems to be going against you, remember…the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it – Henry Ford
4. On relationship: Everything you want in life is just a relationship away. Value people and learn how to maintain a healthy relationship with others.
5. On money: Money and success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there — W. Smith.
6. On hate: People will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, because hate in your heart will consume you too — W. Smith.
7. On child discipline: If you always defend your children’s mistake, one day you’ll hire a lawyer to defend their crime. Discipline served in love is not child abuse.

12. On resilience: Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell and got up again – Nelson Mandela
13. On sin: There was a time when people went to Church, heard the truth, and wept over their sins. Today, people go to Church, hear motivational speech, and ignore their sins – Ron Smith
14. On marriage: A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ come together. It is when an imperfect couple learn to enjoy their differences – Dave Meurer.
Prophetic Decree: May the Holy Ghost daily refire His words in your heart, in Jesus name.

Topic: THE BATTLE YOU CAN NEVER WIN NO MATTER WHO IS BACKING YOU (1)
Bible Reading: Numbers 12: 1-16, Hebrews 7:7
Memory Verse: And without question, the person who has the power to give a blessing is greater than the one who is blessed. Hebrews 7:7 (NLT)
I came across a write-up credited to Bishop Irabor Wisdom. I believe it will be a blessing to the body of Christ. Dear servants of God all over the world, please hear me very well, “The Battle against your Spiritual Father is a Battle you can NEVER WIN, no matter who is backing you”. Don’t even attempt it, you can never win it. You may be anointed to kill Goliath but will forever not be anointed and permitted to kill Saul. Ask David whenever you see him. You cannot ERASE the Man who RAISED you.
You cannot DISHONOUR the Man who made people HONOUR you. You cannot bring EMBARRASSMENT to the Man who gave you ENDORSEMENT. Never become a PROBLEM to the Man who gave you a PLATFORM to rise. Why become a WARFARE to the Man who took care of your WELFARE. Determine not to become a DISAPPOINTMENT to the man who gave you APPOINTMENT. How can a man put so much INVESTMENT into your life, and your thank you to him is to put so much BEREAVEMENT into his own life? In most cases, the so-called Fathers may even be the one at fault, but you must still remember that the God who ANOINTED David to kill Goliath will not ALLOW him to kill Saul.
The DRUNKENNESS of Noah was not a licence to any of his children to expose his NAKEDNESS. That will be WICKEDNESS AND FOOLISHNESS in the sight of God. One of the Sons of Noah EXPOSED his Father’s NAKEDNESS, FORGETTING it was his Father’s RIGHTEOUSNESS that once SAVED him from the FLOOD. Remember, Noah found GRACE with GOD, yet he found DISGRACE with his son. Some sons think they are more RIGHTEOUS than God who CHOSE a man despite his WEAKNESSES.
Quote: Humility cries saying, “Never fight a battle you cannot win”.
Prophetic Decree: Receive grace to know your spiritual boundary, in Jesus name.
Prayer Focus
1. The only God who has absolute power, I worship You.
2. I reject the spirit of rebellion, in the name of Jesus.
3. Holy Spirit please teach the Fathers of faith wisdom, self control and temperance in administering leadership, in Jesus name.
4. We reject the spirit of insubordination and pride in the body of Christ, in Jesus name.
5. Holy Spirit please heal the Fathers of faith who are going through pain of betrayal; who are bleeding and leading at the same time, in Jesus name.
