TOPIC: STEPS TO DOUBLE PORTION 2:  Serve Your Elijah.

MEMORY VERSE:
Is. 61:7
“7 Instead Of Your Shame You Shall Have Double Honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.”

BIBLE READING:
2 Kings 19:21
“21 So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. THEN HE AROSE AND FOLLOWED ELIJAH, AND BECAME HIS SERVANT.”
The fastest way to Double Portion is serving your Elijah. Same way a son is not entitled to the will of the father when his service to him was not justified, so a servant who will not serve His/Her master can never inherit a Double Portion of blessing. Gehazi couldn’t serve His Elijah in the place of Elisha so he inherited leprosy for his generation, 2 Kings 5:27. Elisha couldn’t release power to Gehazi so, even at death the power was still active to raise a dead man back to life.
Many Christians today avoid service but wants benefit of double portion, it doesn’t work that way. Some ministers part way with their Elijah, all in the name of the gift in their lives, to start their ministry without been commissioned by their Elijah so things seems to be going the other way for them. All you need do is to keep serving your Elijah till the stage of Double Portion, may we not serve amiss in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Serve your Elijah, let others know who you are serving. Be committed to his/her goal to the point of fulfillment and you will partake of Double Portion destined for you in Jesus name, Amen.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

TOPIC: STEPS TO DOUBLE PORTION 1: Identify Your Elijah.

MEMORY VERSE:
Is. 61:7
“7 Instead Of Your Shame You Shall Have Double Honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.”

BIBLE READING:
2 Kings 19:19-21
“19 So he departed from there, and found Elisha  the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and  threw his mantle on him.20 And he left the oxen  and ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss  my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?”
21 So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then He Arose And Followed Elijah, And Became His Servant.”
God has predestined our lives to enjoy the Grace of some special people around us, that without us coming in contact with such people we may never reach our fulfillment in life. This connection mostly come in form of service. Leading the Israelite was more easier for Joshua than it was for Moses, but Joshua served under Moses. During Moses’ time, there were many confrontation with him by the Israelite but during Joshua dispensation they put their selves under an oath to serve Joshua wholeheartedly, Josh. 1:18. When you identify your Elijah, you are on your way to Double Portion, may we never miss our destined double portion in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Elisha was able to recognize Elijah when he came his way.  Elijah only threw his mantle on Elisha without delivering any message from God and He came begging that Elijah should wait for him to bid his family good bye and he followed Elijah. Have you recognized your Elijah? Hope you are not among those who criticizes their Elijah and miss their portion for life? Who are you called to serve? Who are you serving? Many wants to be served but run from serving their Elijah. Locate your Elijah and cleave to him/her, there lies your double portion, may He open your eye to identify your Elijah in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
God Bless you and Good Morning.

Week 28, Day 7:

TOPIC: WALKING WITH GOD 7: ALWAYS LIVE IN GRATITUDE

MEMORY VERSE:
Genesis 17:1
“1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the  LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am  Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”

BIBLE READING:
2 Kings 3:3-5.
“3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
4 Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
5 At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”
The attitude that God does not condole is murmuring, complain or better say, ingratitude. He can’t move with one that only complain of what God has not done or what he/she lacks. A complainer lacks the magnet that attract God to his/her side. One of the secret of David is the fact that, He knows how to show gratitude to God always. King David sinned more than other kings but He was a man who knows the way to the heart of God, showing gratitude.
King Solomon was a young new King of Israel. He went to God at Gibeon with the biggest sacrifice in history. He made sacrifice that caused God to search for Him and spoke with him. Listen, when all you do is to complain of what you are going through, am assuring you, you are not ready to walk with God. Gratitude to God brings God closer to us, He can’t dwell in a place full of grumbling, murmuring and ingratitude. Do you need to walk with God? Do you want to enjoy the move of the almighty? Learn to give God gratitude no matter the condition. He doesn’t speak during fear or complain, He speaks when He’s been praise, worship and adore. Learn the attitude of gratitude, don’t be controlled by your situation, control your situation by showing God gratitude always.
God Bless you and Good Morning.

TOPIC: WALKING WITH GOD 6: WALKING IN THE WORD OF GOD

MEMORY VERSE:
Genesis 17:1
“1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the  LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am  Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”

BIBLE READING:
John 17:17
17 Sanctify them by Your  truth. Your word is truth.
If there is any weapon for  believers to make our walk with God easy, it’s the Word Of God – Bible. The word of God is the mind of God, whatever God will do, His word has the ability to do. God’s word is the presence of God residing with us as long as we have it in and with us. 
What His word will do.
1. His word cleanses and sanctifies us, John 17:17. To walk with God we need His sanctification. God  spoke to Moses, “tell my people to sanctify their selves and come before me.” To be sanctify means to be presentable before God.
2. He’s word reveals His mind to us, 2 Corinth. 2:16. When we study God’s word He speaks to us directly in a way we’ll understand.
3. God’s word are always instruction which lead us to our destined purpose, Ps. 119:105 & 130. 
To walk with God we need His word. We need to daily digest it in order to know His mind. Knowing the truth is via the Word of God. Until you read, study and digest it, the truth of God’s word will always be hidden, John 8:32. When you are far from God’s word you are automatically far from God. Get closer to God via His word and you will be glad you did. Read through a chapter a day and you will be refreshed and move closer to God.
God Bless you and Good Morning.

TOPIC: WALKING WITH GOD 5: Walking By Faith.

MEMORY VERSE:
Genesis 17:1
“1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the  LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am  Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”

BIBLE READING:
Hebrews 11:17-19.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 
18 of whom it was said,  “In Isaac your seed shall be called,
19 Concluding That God Was Able To Raise Him Up, Even From The Dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.
To walk with God entails a working Faith. What is Faith? It is believing all will be well because God said it, even when it doesn’t look like it. Someone defines Faith in acronym, “Father, Am In Thy Hands”. Come to think of it, what was in the mind of Father Abraham when he prepared to sacrifice His only son? Our scripture said, “Concluding That God Was Able To Raise Him Up, Even From The Dead,” what if Isaac wasn’t restore, that He never thought of, that is faith. Faith is accepting the message without diluting it. 
When the three Hebrew boys, in Daniel chapter 3, stood before the King, and put their lives on a bet with the King, what if the fire consumed them? What if God never showed up? They will be called dead, but that thought never strike their mind, that is Faith, it doesn’t allow other thought to take over. 
When Peter and John were going to the temple of prayer at the beautiful gate in Acts chapter 3, they met a man born crippled from birth, by Faith they declare his healing. What if the man didn’t rise up and walk, they never thought of this. Faith involves Boldness, Authority and Obedience. To walk with God, you need to be able to obey God’s instructions foolishly and boldly declare His word. “If He says it, Just Do It,” that’s Faith. I pray this morning, may we all be able to walk by faith regardless of the situations around us in Jesus Precious name, Amen.
God Bless you and Good Morning.

Week 28, Day 4: 
Wefnesday, 6 July, 2022. 

TOPIC: WALKING WITH GOD 4: Consistent Prayers.

MEMORY VERSE:
Genesis 17:1
“1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the  LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am  Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”

BIBLE READING:
Luke 22:40-42.
40 When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”  
41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed,
42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”
To walk with God means to hear Him, receive instructions and guidance from Him. To walk with God is to be fervent in prayers. Prayers has no specific time, place or types. Prayer is communicating with God, in any language which includes the language of the Spirit. Prayer is two ways channel which is, speaking to God and God speaking to you. A complete prayer is you hearing from God when you commune with Him.
If Jesus encouraged His disciples to pray and He also tarried in prayers, who then doesn’t need prayers? For every will of God, prayer is needed. When in confusion, prayer is needed. When all is well, prayer is still needed. The more we pray to God the more we know His will and walk with him. Someone may ask, How do I hear Him communicating back to me? For example, while praying scriptural verses may drop in your mind, or some persons name or location drops in your mind when you are not even thinking or focusing on such places or person, That is God speaking. While praying some ideas, instruction or correction may drop in your heart, stand up and pen them down, that is God’s voice, He does speaks but we are not always attentive or we take it for granted. God is willing to speak back to us when we speak to Him so, we need to pray to Him, ask Him to lead us, when we continue with this, our walk with Him will become easier, i pray we will be able to stand in the place of prayers in Jesus Mighty Name, amen. 
God Bless you and Good Morning.

TOPIC: WALKING WITH GOD 3: Control Over Your Word (Utterances)

MEMORY VERSE:
Genesis 17:1
“1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the  LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am  Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”

BIBLE READING:
Numb. 14:28.
“28 Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the LORD, ‘just as you have spoken in My  hearing, so I will do to you:”
When we walk with God, the consciousness of His presence must be in our heart. The children of Israel knew God was with them, seeing all the miracles they’ve experienced right from the land of 
Egypt to the wilderness. Provisions of water, food, strength and unexpected act of God, despite all these, they lack the consciousness of controlling the words of their mouth. When situation arises, they spill out hurting words to God’s servant. They speak carelessly without considering God’s presence around them. Every child of God, who desire to walk with God, consistently needs to guard their utterances. When speaking to others and themself, watch what you are saying because God can seal it at once.
He told Moses, “I heard the word of the Israelite, they spill out fear, destruction and disbelief in Me, so therefore, I’ve made it their request and it shall come to pass as they’ve said (Personal paraphrase). 
When our mind is renewed, and our thoughts has been worked on, the words that should come out of our mouth should be edifying. It should be a word that heals and not word that wounds. God expect everyone who will walk with Him to guard the words of their mouth, towards their children, spouse, members, ministers, coworkers and loved ones. What you don’t desire do not say it. Stop speaking fear, negative words and faithless words because God is right beside you. Bridle the word of your mouth daily, have control on what you say and your walk with God will be great.
God Bless you and Good Morning.

TOPIC: WALKING WITH GOD 2: Control Over Our Thought

MEMORY VERSE:
Genesis 17:1
“1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the  LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am  Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”

BIBLE READING:
2 Corinthian 10:4-5
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, Bringing Every Thought Into Captivity To The Obedience Of Christ.
One of the things the devil uses in bringing people down is the thought in the heart of Man. The thought of a man determines who he/she becomes. You can’t grow beyond your thought. When the thought of one’s heart is evil, nothing positive can be achievable by such person. If we will walk with God, we need the battle of the heart to be handled wisely.
King Solomon said, 
“7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you,  But his heart is not with you.” Prov. 23:7. 
The thought of our heart defines us better. What are we taking thought on every moment? Are your thought always pure or impure? Do you think about bringing others down or for others to also move forward? When the thought of your heart is bad it will be impossible for you to walk with God, for the scriptures says, 
“3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.
When your heart is full of deceit, you can’t stand before the Lord. So, as you work on renewing your Mind (according to our teaching yesterday) you need to work on what you allow into it again. Every Good person is traceable to the thought of His/her heart and likewise for bad person. To enjoy walking with God, guard the thoughtful that goes into your mind/heart.
God Bless you and Good Morning.

TOPIC: WALKING WITH GOD 1: A Renewed Mind

MEMORY VERSE:
Genesis 17:1
“1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the  LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am  Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.”

BIBLE READING:
Romans 12:2
“2 And do not be  conformed to this world, but be transformed by  the renewing of your mind, that you may prove  what is that good and acceptable and perfect  will of God.”
As we all know, this is our month of Divine Blessing and it shall be showered on us all in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. May I let you know that, the Blessings of the Lord can’t be real if we will not walk with God. Walking with God is what attracts the blessings of God and there are steps to walking with God. Today we will start with the first step, which I call “A Renewed Mind”. Our natural mind can’t walk with God because our mind can’t comprehended the mightiness of God, thus we can’t walk with God with the natural mind. Our natural mind depends on fact while a renewed mind depends on faith. To walk with God we have to go beyond the natural mind.
Apostle Paul was speaking to the Romans, they were believers of God’s word but they still practiced the pattern of the world; seeing things the way the world sees things won’t help our walk with God. Then, How do we Renew our Mind?
1. By having control on what we allow into our heart, what penetrate your heart? Which thought is going on in your heart regularly? You have to screen what goes into your heart per time per chance.
2. By filling your heart with the word of God. Jesus said, “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” John 17:17. The intake of the word of God sanctifies our heart/mind. Devoting more time to the studying of God’s word and it will sanctify your mind. To walk with God, you need to work on what goes on in your mind every moment.
God Bless you and Good Morning.

TOPIC: PRAYER WEEK 6: REVIVE ME OH LORD.

MEMORY VERSE:
Luke 18:1.
“1 Then He spoke a parable to them, That Men Always Ought To Pray And Not Lose Heart.”

BIBLE READING:
Ps. 119:107
“I am afflicted very much; Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word.”
How has been our walk with God when we started the race of Heaven compare to now? Do we still love God as we always do those days when we accepted Jesus as our saviour? Prayer time, devotional time, activities in our different denominations, hope that fire is still on? Father, we need you to REVIVE us once again.
You got married and you drop your duty in order to please that spouse who God gave you? Yours is the children which God blessed you with, they are your excuse of no commitment, can’t you see that You need God to Restore you?
Lies has become normal thing to us in this generation. We now have species of lies; white lies, black lies, small lies, big lies, we even term lies as wisdom in our days. Lie has become a profession for most believers. Do you remember when you cry for telling lies? How you felt having done wrong things, that you will need to cry for forgiveness? Is that still existing now in your days? We need to cry for God to Revive us again.
David said, 
“… Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word” this should be our prayer this moment, Father, Revive me according to your word.
Prayers:
1. Draw me back to you, where I live in reverence of you daily
2. Revive my life back to you: Revive my heart and my spirit to that soul that seek to do your will.
3. Take me back to the place I started with you Oh Lord, with fasting, prayer and your worship, in Jesus Mighty Name, I pray, Amen.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
