‎‎TOPIC: RUN WITH THE VISION
‎
‎MEMORISE:
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:" Joel 2:28
‎
BIBLE ‎ READING : NUMBERS 14:1-9

1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
‎
‎MESSAGE
In today's memory verse, God promised that He would pour out His Spirit in the last days, and old men will dream dreams while the young men will see visions. Whether you are old or young, God wants you to do exploits with His Spirit that lives in you.

When God gives you a vision, He expects you to run with it. You may encounter obstacles, but you must see beyond them. For example, in Numbers 13 and 14, Moses sent 12 spies to search the Promised Land and bring him a report. The 12 spies returned with giant grapes to show that the land was indeed flowing with milk and honey; however, ten of them complained that there were giants in the land. Caleb and Joshua, who had a clear vision of God's promise, said, "We saw what you saw with our physical eyes, but if this land eats up its inhabitants, then there would be no people there. God gave us the vision, and He will help us take the land. Let's go ahead and possess the land." The Bible says in Numbers 32:11-12 that while all the children of Israel in that generation perished, only Joshua and Caleb made it to the Promised Land.
‎
Beloved, the vision God has given to you will sustain you and prolong your days. No matter your age, if you can still see what God wants you to see clearly and are ready to pursue it, He will ensure that He keeps you alive and in good shape. Abraham was 75 years old when God called him to go to a land, He would show him (Genesis 12:1-4). Because he was willing to run with this vision, God kept him alive until he was 175 years old (Genesis 25:7-8). If God has given you a vision, run with it; do not give in to any obstacle. Also, do not run ahead of God, as this will only lead you into trouble. Habakkuk 2:3 says, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." This means that you need patience to run with the vision God has given you (Hebrews 12:1). This way, you will not make hasty and rash decisions as you pursue the vision. I pray that you will fulfil every vision that God has given to you, in Jesus' name.
‎
KEY POINT:
If God has given you a vision, run with it.

HYMN 12: ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before!
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banner go!

Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus
Who is gone before!

2 At the name of Jesus
Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise!

3 Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.

4 Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus,
Constant will remain,
Gates of hell can never,
'Gainst the Church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise,
And that cannot fail.

5 Onward, then, ye people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
"Glory, praise and honour,
Unto Christ the King",
This, thro' countless ages,
Men and angels sing.

TOPIC: SPIRITUAL EYES II

MEMORISE:
“Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” - (Psalm 119:18)

BIBLE READING: 2 KINGS 6:15-23 (KJV)

15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

19 And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.

20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?

22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.

23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

MESSAGE:
Today, I will conclude my discussion on spiritual eyes as part of the series I started three days ago.

In today's Bible reading, an army came to arrest Elisha, and his servant became afraid. Elisha, however, was not bothered; he told his servant that those who were with them were more than those who were against them. He then prayed that God should open his servant's eyes. Even though the boy wasn't physically blind and could see the Syrian army, his spiritual eyes needed to be opened so he could see God's mighty army surrounding them.

...And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. (2 Kings 6:17)

After God opened the spiritual eyes of Elisha's servant, his fear of the Syrian army must have disappeared immediately. Elisha then asked God to smite the Syrian soldiers with blindness, and he led them to the king's palace. He wasn't holding any weapon, neither did he bind the soldiers; he just told them to follow him, and because they had become blind, they followed him into their enemy's territory. They would have lost their lives that day if Elisha had not stopped the king from killing them. He was able to arrest the soldiers who came to arrest him because he could see beyond the physical.

In (1 Samuel 17), Israel was being tormented by Goliath. The torment went on for 40 days and nights because there was no one on the battlefield whose spiritual eyes were opened. They all saw a formidable giant, but David came to the battlefield and saw Goliath as a dead man. David said to him, "I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. Today, I will cut off your head and feed the Philistine army to the birds so that the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel" (1 Samuel 17:45-46).

Beloved, what you see with your spiritual eyes will go a long way in determining if you will live as a victim or a victorious believer. If you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, spend quality time in constant fellowship with Him. As you do this, I pray that the Lord will open your spiritual eyes. If, however, the Lord has already opened your spiritual eyes, I pray for greater revelations for you, in Jesus' name.

REFLECTION:
Are your spiritual eyes open?

Your Mindset and You : The Garden of Life

Your heart is the Garden, you must engage the flaming sword of the Spirit (the Word of God to guard it) guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it comes all the issues of life. What should constitute your heart is the Word of God Proverbs 4:20-23/21

As a garden is made beautiful by different assortment of trees and plants, so also is the heart made beautiful with what is built into the compartments of your life. Your belief is what shape the architecture of your destiny.

Meditation is the building process. It's how you absorb the Word and digest so that your spirit can absorb it. When it's entered into your body, that is assimilation.

The morale of the story is this: think like a king, not as a peasant.

The heart of a king is unsearchable.

No goals, dreams is insurmountable, you just have to cut it down into bit size.

If you believe, nothing will be impossible for you. Your belief always bring to you your realities.

Much food is in the tillage of the poor - Proverbs 13:23a --- until a man till and dig his mind, he will forces remain poor. No one will do the thinking for you, your mind already have the capacity to deliver goodies into your life.

Technical Skill acquisition at an Early Stage; How Beneficial

I was at a laptop repair shop sometimes back and an apprentice was calling his trainer at about after 10 in the morning he is still waiting for his food, that is what is keeping him at home. Technical skill although is in the left hand side of the cashflow quadrant is still a way to get good income flowing into your bank account.

With a good Skill, you can become a small business owner and offer your expertise to your community. A lot of people are regretting not learning one technical skill or the other when they were young.

What is the age limit to learning a Skill? Should age be a barrier to learning new technical skills.

To get more out of life, we need a deeper understanding of how things works. Technical skill will empower you

THE BLESSING AND THE BLESSER || PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

If l were to ask you, "Which will you consider more important - the blessing or the Blesser?" you are likely to say the Blesser. However, there are millions of self-professing Christians around the world today who prioritise God's blessings above the One who blessed them in the first place. When you begin to choose your job over God, you are prioritising the blessing over the Blesser. I want you to do an honest check within yourself now; which one have you been prioritising - the blessing or the Blesser?

The unfortunate thing about prioritising the blessing over the Blesser is that the Blesser can withdraw His blessings at any time. In 1 Samuel 16:1,
God told Samuel to stop pleading on Saul's behalf because He had given the throne to someone else. In Genesis 48:20, we see how Jacob blessed Ephraim above his older brother Manasseh. Ephraim eventually became ten times successful than his brother (Deuteronomy 33:17).

However, when success came, Ephraim forgot God (Psalm 78:9-11), God kept sending prophets to Ephraim but he refused to listen to the Blesser. After some time, God said, "Let him alone" (Hosea 4:7). By the time we get to Hosea 5:9, God said that Ephraim would be desolate. Ephraim lost his blessings because he prioritise them above the Blesser. When success comes, don't forget God because He has the power to give and to take away.

When l became General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God. I decided by faith that God would feed everyone that came for our annual convention. One of the young men who was a baker said he would provide the bread for breakfast. He later on changed his mind and decided not to supply us bread as he had promised because he didn't like a message l preached. God however, sent help to us and we were able to purchase the bread we require. Years later, my baker friend appeared at my house very early one morning. I said, "What can l do for you? You came very early". He said he would have come but one of his tires got flat and he didn't have a spare. His was a man who used to have numerous cars; now, he didn't even have a spare tire because he placed the blessing above the Blesser

Beloved, focus on the Blesser and not the blessing.

God is more important than all the riches,great position and blessings in the world. Never forget that.
