Bible Reading: Proverbs 4: 7-9
Memory Verse: Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV)
1. On three important things needed in life: Pat Robertson of blessed memory asked God for three things before he started ministry: 1. Wisdom 2. Favour 3. The anointing of the Holy Ghost.
2. On Obedience: When your obedience is complete, your prayer is small. There are things you won’t pray about at all if you are obeying the right instructions. This is where the difficulty lies. When you identify what God has said, go ahead and do it stupidly even if it doesn’t make sense.
3. On grace to attract the right audience: You are selling things to those who have the ability to only admire what you’re selling, but not to reward you. It matters whose dream you are interpreting. We all need the grace for visibility that connects men to the right audience capable of lifting them up.
4. On sin: There is more to be gained in Christ than to be lost in sin and worldliness.
5. On prayer: Our fundamental reason for praying is our fundamental reason for living which is to commune with God.
6. On ministry: Ministry exist not where there are pulpits. Ministry exist where there are people.
7. On sacrificial giving: He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose – Jim Elliott.
8. On finding your place: You must find your secret place, your appointed place, and your market place.
9. On pressing to attain: Everything worthwhile is uphill. The precious things in life require something in exchange. We have to “give up to go up.”
10. On destiny assignment: Don’t allow people clap too much for you. It is only God who understands the scope of your assignment. There is too much task but very little time left to do the work.
11. On holy aggression: Casual people end as casualty. You need a measure of restlessness to break your yoke.
12. On man: The man in the front has no friend while the man in the back has no enemies. The greatest enemy of a man is himself.
13. On quitting: The challenge is not the reason why you should quit. Don’t allow problems to become your circumstances to quit. Don’t let your beginning shape the way you end. Let not your starting shape the way you finish- Benny Prasad
14. On evangelism: The man who mobilizes the Christian church to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelization in history – Andrew Murray
Prophetic Decree: Your life will not lack a word in season, in Jesus name.
Prayer Focus
1. I pull down every structure of ignorance and foolishness upon the tables of my heart, in Jesus name.
2. I refuse to quit. I must carry on till the end, by the enabling power of God, in Jesus name.
3. I receive a heart of an intercessor thirsty for souls, in Jesus name.
4. I receive the anointing of the Holy Ghost needed to lay hold on my destiny, in Jesus name.
5. I receive grace to pray and understand the will of God. And I receive greater grace to do the will of God promptly and adequately, in Jesus name (1 Samuel 15:22).
