TOPIC: TAKING THE RIGHT STEP

Memory Verse: Ps. 37:23
“23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.”

Bible Reading: Prob.16:3
“3 Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.”

THROUGH PRAYERS
We’ve been studying on how to take the right step in other to enjoy what God has in stock for us all. Today, we will be talking about prayers. Prayer, as we all know, is communicating with God, revealing to God the thought of your heart, making your desires known to God. God knows all things. He knows what our needs are and how to get to our predestined destination on earth but He want us to speak to Him about it. He desire that we make our request known to him.
In Exodus 3:8-10, God told Moses, He has heard the cry of the israelites concerning their slavery. Meanwhile, He designed Four Hundred years for them in the land of Egypt, Gen. 15:13-14, but as a result of not praying to God extra Thirty years was spent in Egypt, Exo. 12:40-41. You just have to pray to God to remind Him of His promises, His prophesies and His plans concerning your life.
Jesus, in Mark 10:46-52, met the blind Bartimeaus, seeing him blind, He still asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” Which was the right question. He might be in need of money or house or something else, so God only attend to what you request of Him, aside He rewarding you of your services, you need to commit your endeavors to Him.
King Solomon said, “Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.” Not just your works but anything. Do you need to get information of Him? Ask Him in prayer. Do you need directives about your next steps? Go to Him and make a request. Crying is not the right step neither is revenge the right step. The right step is going to God in prayers. Commit the reproach and mockery to Him and He will handle it on your behalf.
My God and My King, Jehovah over do, I commit my endeavours into your hands, give me a breakthrough result, end all shames around me and gain all the Glory in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

TOPIC: TAKING THE RIGHT STEP

Memory Verse: Ps. 37:23
“23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.”

Bible Reading: 1 kings 1:13-15
“13 Again, he sent a third captain of fifty with his  fifty men. And the third captain of fifty went up,  and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and  pleaded with him, and said to him: “Man of God,  please let my life and the life of these fifty  servants of yours be precious in your sight. 14  Look, fire has come down from heaven and  burned up the first two captains of fifties with  their fifties. But let my life now be precious in  your sight.” 15 And the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So he arose and went down with him to the king.”
THROUGH RIGHT PRESENTATION
Everything in life has two phases as a coin has two phases. Every spoken words can be presented in two different ways. There’s a way you can say “sorry” and one gets angry and the same “sorry” been presented in a different way to the same person can quench anger. Presentation of your your words goes a long way to determine the right step. Between couples, superiors and subordinate, the way you present your discomfort matters a lot. Your presentation determines the responses you get.
One Hundred and two soldiers have been consumed by fire through wrong presentation of their assignment. The Man Of God releases fire on them despite being under the authority of the king. Then, here comes a captain and his fifty with the same message from the same king but with a different approach. He went on his knees and gave a good presentation of the act of the man of God as against the others captains and their men. He hadn’t delivered the message yet, before the angel gave an order to follow him.
As a wife/husband, how do you make your presentation? As a staff, how do you present a case to your superiors that it’s not your fault? As a worker in the vine yard, how do you explain situation to your leader proving, you are being led by the Holy Spirit to do what you are doing? When you are accused of offences not committed, how do you present your case? When you are proving your right you might present it wrongly; your presentations matters. Without the wisdom of God, it will be very hard to take right steps even with accumulated experiences. Your presentation matters in taking the right step.
Father, give me the mindset to present myself in the right way when it matters and where it matters in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

TOPIC: TAKING THE RIGHT STEP

Memory Verse: Ps. 37:23
“23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.”

Bible Reading: Ruth 1:14-18
“14 Then they lifted up their voices and wept  again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but  Ruth clung to her. 15 And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” 16 But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God. 17 Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, If anything but death parts you and me.” 18 When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.”
SELFLESS DECISIONS
Today, I will like to discuss about taking steps that are selfless, Yes, selfless decisions. Most and often times, we make decision that are selfish, that is all about us, what will please us alone, and those decisions hasn’t gotten us far more than where we are today. Most times we regret those decisions we made and still we go on making selfish decisions, we need to consider our decisions.
Ruth, a young lady, not a single mother but a childless widow at a tender age. How eager was she suppose to be in getting another man? Any opportunity for her to leave her mother in-law was suppose to be grabbed speedily, but there she was, determined not to let her go.
My spiritual mother told us an incident about her job hustling in her earlier days. She’s been going to a specific office for an appointment. One day, she went with her friend to the same office and some days later, the man in person asked her, “would you like me to offer your friend job? My Spiritual mother said, “yes”. The man asked, “even if she’s getting the job before you?” She answered, “yes, as long as I will get mine later”.
Her friend got the job ahead of her and she has to wait for another time. Brethren, when another offer was available she was place in another ministry where her friend still work under her. Selfless decisions looks stupid but it’s always the best step to take.
Ruth went with Naomi, found another man, Boas, who later became the grand father of King David. Your decisions shouldn’t always be about Me, I and myself. Consider others. Make decision which will lead you to the right step. The scripture never mentioned about the other in-law of Naomi but Ruth have a memorable record in the Bible today.
Father in the Name of Jesus, help me overcome the me,  mentality. Give me the grace  to consider others too as a right step, thank you Jesus for hearing me, Amen.

TOPIC: TAKING THE RIGHT STEP

Memory Verse: Ps. 37:23
“23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.”

Bible Reading: Esther 4:13-16
“13 And Mordecai told them to answer Esther:  “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for  such a time as this?” 15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai: 16 “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in  Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink  for three days, night or day. My maids and I will  fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which  is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!”
OBEDIENCE TO ELDERS
God lives in heaven but attached people to us in order to guide our steps. Some might be professionals, some illiterate, other might even be our parent, Pastors, in-laws and many more. Elders are always available around us to guide us into taking the right step. Many elders have been hated for giving right directives which looks contrary to our intentions.
Esther was a slave without a parent except an uncle who brought her up and directed her till she emerges as the Queen. Despite her position she still listens to him. She has a director who showed her the right steps to take. She so much respected and believed in this man called Mordecai. The man gave her the right steps to take in order to rescue the Jews from the hand of Harman and his destructive plans and she followed suit.
Do you have an elder guiding your steps? Do you respect and listen to the elders? Because you are richer and educated than they are, do you still follow their leading? Note, The Elders can see farther than you. King Jeroboam in, 1 Kings 12, rejected the advice of the elders and accepted that of his friend and this step caused the breaking out of ten tribes of Israel leaving him with two tribes. Prophet Moses was guided in the right step by Hus in-law, Jethro, and moses lived longer, Ex. 18. God does speaks through our Elders. Do you have elders around you? Listen to them. You can’t have knowledge than your parent, listen to them, they are guiding you in the right step.
Father, surround me with good Elders who will lead me into taking right steps, In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

TOPIC: TAKING THE RIGHT STEP

Memory Verse: Ps. 37:23
“23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.”

Bible Reading: Joshua 2:8-13
8 Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof, 9 and said to the men: “I know that the LORD has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen  on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you. 10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly  destroyed. 11 And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath. 12 Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the LORD,  since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father’s house, and give me a true token, 13 and spare my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.”
THE FEAR OF GOD
The step of every man and woman dictates who they become. Every decision made is a step. It will be good to know that, many refuse to make their decision so others made it for them. Some made their decisions according to other people’s decisions because it’s working for other party. Every decisions you made without the fear of God will always lead you astray, may we never take the wrong steps in our lives in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Rehab took the best steps of her life when she hid the spies sent by Joshua. May be she did that to advance her business, as a prostitute, but the Fear of God changed her heart. She decided to speak with the spies and ask for the safety of her family and the step profited her household, she was recorded in the linage of Jesus Christ, Halleluyah.
When your steps are not ordered by the Fear of God, you are on your way to destruction. You might not be that righteous but when you decided to take any step in the fear of God it’s going to lead you to your destination. Who knows if the prostitution embarked on was as a result of the happenings Jericho, but when she got into the mist of the Israelite her new step singled her out, I pray with you today, The Fear of God will determine your next steps in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Father, help me guide my steps this week in the Fear of God, in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

TOPIC: SHOWING FORTH GOD’S PRAISE

Memory Verse: 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

Bible Reading: Ps. 118:17
“17 I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the LORD.”
ALIVE FOR HIS PRAISE
I want to charge you today that, you being alive is to bring praises to God. The dead can’t show forth His praise only the living can do this. How has your life shown forth God’s Praise?
Gen 6:5-6, says,
“5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.”
Are you one of those whose heart is filled up with wickedness? Or your life style, has it been grieving the Lord? Has your talent become your instrument of exploit? As your body becomes the temple of the devil? And your wealth become tools to punish others, making God feel guilty for endowing you with such gifts?
We are God’s workmanship. We are to work towards the glorification of His name not the other way round. How many people has left the faith because of you and how many has come to believe in God through your way of life? In your marriage, is your spouse happy with your person? In your place of work, can your boss introduce you as a Christian? Among your peers, are they envying your life style? If your life is not glorifying God what are you living for?
Declare the praises of God through your works, your words and your life style since you are still alive. Let your life bring praises to God and not regret.
Father, i’m handing over myself to you Oh Lord, Make my life an attention of your Praise, let my day and night glorify you and win souls into your kingdom, in Jesus Mighty Name have In prayed, Amen.

TOPIC: SHOWING FORTH GOD’S PRAISE

Memory Verse: 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

Bible Reading: Daniel 3:16-18
“16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. 18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”
OUR WALK OF FAITH
Our faith in God is a vital way of showing the praise of God. Faith in the ability of God. Faith in what God can change. Faith in His words towards you. Faith that still speak even in midst of challenges and difficulties. Faith is the ability to believe in what God said about you even when all situations are against it. With complete faith in God praise belongs to God.
The three Hebrews walked in faith against the king and his image. They stood their ground even when the fiery furnace was to be increased again them. They were slaves in a foreign land but they held unto their faith and in the God they served. They told the king, our faith doesn’t permit us to bow to your golden image, it’s an abomination to our God to bow before any other god. At the end of it all, God was praised. The king saw the son of God in the fiery furnace and made a decree as follow,
“28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the  king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except  their own God! 29 Therefore I make a decree that  any people, nation, or language which speaks  anything amiss against the God of Shadrach,  Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this.”
Can your faith announce God to others? Can your faith bring God Praise? Your faith should be able to lift the down casted not to depress them the more. Others should notice your faith in God and follow suit.
Father in Heaven, help my faith grow in you in order to show forth your praise daily, so help me lord Jesus, Amen.

TOPIC: SHOWING FORTH GOD’S PRAISE

Memory Verse: 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

Bible Reading: Math. 5:43-48
“43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who  spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the  just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
BY SHOWING LOVE
Love is one of the easiest word to pronounce but most difficult word to act on. Many profess to love their neighbour but still go ahead to repay them evil for evil, that’s not the love God is talking about. The scripture says, 
“8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will  cover a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8.
Love overlook evil. It covers all sins and reward good for evil. Jesus said, when you show love to those who doesn’t deserve it you are a son of God, meaning, you are making God happy, showing forth His Praise. He will be proud of you. Not going for revenge against those who persecute you is showing forth the praise of God. Believing He will fight your battles on your behalf is showing forth the Praise of God.
Do you really show love to those who doesn’t deserve it or to those who will show you love In return? Are you selective in showing your love? Do you even love others the way you love yourself? Remember, ” … for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” To show love to everyone is showing forth the Praise of God.
Help me to show love to others irrespective of who they are in Jesus Precious Name, Amen.

Memory Verse: 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

Bible Reading: 1 Peter 2:13-17
“13 Therefore submit yourselves to every  ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to  the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to  those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do  good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing  good you may put to silence the ignorance of  foolish men— 16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. 17  Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear  God. Honor the king.”
THROUGH SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITY
No leader leads without the Lords consent. He made and ordained every ruler either by elect or selection. Whoever God didn’t ordained can never be a leader. Every authority is from God. Now, every authority has the permission to inflict judgement and to do justice over anybody, though, God will judge all the leaders according to their handling of power but He empowered leaders to rule over his/her subject.
With submission to our leaders, we can show forth the praise of God. We can make God known through our respect to leaders anywhere we find ourselves. Apostle Peter experience many confrontations with the leaders during His days but he is saying, we need to respect them regardless of their wickedness, notwithstanding, they can be corrected but still submission is our duty to them, with this, we are showing forth the Praise of God. God is interested in we honouring our leaders, because one day and somehow, He will lift us up also and that same submission will be accorded to us, so therefore, our submission is a way of bringing praises to our God.
Lord Jesus, give me the humility to show forth your praise through submission to the authorities you have placed over me, so help me Lord, Amen.
