Week 30, Day 1.
Sunday, 25 July, 2021.

TOPIC: FATHER, HELP MY HELPERS: HELP ME LORD

Memory Verse: Ps. 60:11
“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.”

Bible Reading: Daniel 10:12-13.
“12 Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for  from the first day that you set your heart to  understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words.
13 But the prince of the  kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one  days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief  princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.
I don’t know who this message is directed to, but one thing I know is this, your helper will be Helped before this month ends in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Whatever may be holding your helpers all along, this last week of this month, they are loose in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Every powers blocking your helpers, distracting them from attending to you, Heaven will attend to them all in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Many have prayed and fasted, serve God’s servant and sacrificed enough for help to have located them, but when the helper has been caged, stopped or killed how will such person receive help? Some helpers have been redirected to others while the real owner of help is suffering, this will come to an end in Jesus Precious name, Amen.
Daniel started praying for the past three weeks and on the first day of his prayers the result were released but some powers, principalities and monitoring spirit went ahead to stop the angel who was on His way with the answers, until a higher angel intervened, Daniel’s helper was not released, whatever it takes God to release your helper and my helper, this week, it will be done by the power in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Prayers:
Lord God of Heaven and Earth, set my helpers free from every power withholding them from helping me.
Raise a helper for my helper to hasten my answers in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

TOPIC: TIME AND SEASON 6: YOU CAN HASTEN YOUR SEASON

Memory Verse: Dan 2:21
“21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.”

Bible Reading: Eccl. 11:1-3
“1 Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days.
2 Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.  
3 If the clouds are full of rain, They empty  themselves upon the earth; And if a tree falls to the south or the north,  In the place where the tree falls, there it shall  lie.”
God changes time and seasons. He wants all men to experience the phases of life. It now depend on how we handle those seasons. Every season have in it, what will make us whom God has predestined us to be. Going through those seasons is what will bring out the best of us. Where the problem lies is the fact that, we stay longer than planned in our seasons which was not according to God’s plan. Why? Because we failed in our responsibility to cut the seasons off.
The Israelite have to cry to God before their season was changed. They prayed to God and He heard their cry and sent Moses for their rescue, Ex. 2:23-25. Prayers changes seasons.
Joseph’s season was getting longer than what he could bear, then, His gift change His seasons. He was still kind in that season and using his gift. Make use of your gift in that season you are. Gen. 40:6-13.
When Dorcas was in her good season, she affected lives with what she had. When the season change for her, her past generosity restored her back to life. Acts 9:36-42.
You can change your season. The bible said, “If the clouds are full of rain, They empty  themselves upon the earth;…”
Until your good works, the use of your gifts, your services fills the cloud your rain, new season, won’t come. Increase your commitment. Increase your services, make use of your talent continuously and change your seasons. You have what it takes to change your seasons. Increase your prayer life and God will harken to your voice in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

TOPIC: TIME AND SEASON 5: TIME AND SEASONS EXPIRES

Memory Verse: Dan 2:21
“21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.”

Bible Reading: Ps. 104:17-21
“17 He sent a man before them— Joseph— who was sold as a slave.
18 They hurt his feet with fetters, He was laid in irons.
19 Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD tested him.
20 The king sent and released him, The ruler of the people let him go free.  
21 He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his possessions.”
Times and seasons are real. We all found ourselves in it consciously or unconsciously. It’s part of life, we can’t do without it. The change in season is the plan of God for everyone and they are all working for our good. It doesn’t matter how your present season looks like, God knows about it. One truth i want you to understand is this, time and season expires, either good or bad, it comes to an end.
Joseph was a man of many seasons. He had a season he was in his father’s house, season of fatherly love. He had the season of slavery in the merchants hands. He had the season of housemaid in potiphar’s house. He had the season as a prisoner, then the season as a prime minister. One thing that is common in all those seasons is that, they had an end, they all expired. They came and left. They didn’t last because they were temporary.
There are set time and season for changes. Take this from me, that season you are in will soon expire, someone else will soon take over from you. You will soon be lifted above your present situation. Are you tired of your present situation? The good news is that, the season will soon change. May be you don’t want that season to change because you have all you ever desire, listen, the season will expire, it can’t be continuous because seasons go and seasons come, only God is the same. What you sow in that season of yours is what matters. How you are utilising this season is what determine your next season, get this from me, your present season will soon expire.

TOPIC: TIME AND SEASON: ENJOY THE SEASON YOU ARE IN.

Memory Verse: Dan 2:21
“21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.”

Bible Reading: Eccl. 2:24.
“24 Nothing is better for a man than that he  should eat and drink, and that his soul should  enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was  from the hand of God.”
Have you ever heard some one saying, “i enjoyed myself when I had these and these?” There are things ordained for everyone of us to enjoy where we are presently that are not sinful. There are places you can go presently that you won’t be able to go some years to come. There are some friends you can mingle with now that will not possible some months to come. Enjoy the season you are. There are pleasures that is not against the will of God that you can enjoy for now, take the time now.
Am not talking about you going into debt to enjoy yourself or sleeping and messing around  because you are still single or robbing people of their hard earning, No, but enjoying your labour, give your self a treat, the needed leisure that you are dreaming of. Don’t just keep working and not enjoy from your wealth. King Solomon said,
Eccl. 2:21-23
“21 For there is a man  whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and  skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man  who has not labored for it. This also is vanity  and a great evil.
22 For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun?
23 For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.”
Give your self rest. Eat good food once in a while. Go shopping. Visit eatery. Visit cinema once in a while. Free yourself of the labour and stress of “am expecting a better season.” “My future is yet to come” enjoy this season first.
Every man has three stages of life, the morning season, the afternoon season and the night season. These three seasons has there pleasures that can’t be interchange in life. It doesn’t matter the season you are, enjoy the things that’s associated with it that can give you joy. Stop complaining about what you don’t have yet, enjoy what you have at your disposer now before admiring what someone else has.
Make yourself happy. Make your family happy once in a while even if you can’t do it in a bigger way do it according to your level. God of all season is a good God.

TOPIC: TIME AND SEASON: EVERY SEASON IS PRODUCTIVE

Memory Verse: Dan 2:21
“21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.”

Bible Reading: Gen. 20:14-18
“14 Then Abimelech took sheep, oxen, and male  and female servants, and gave them to Abraham; and he restored Sarah his wife to him. 
15 And Abimelech said, “See, my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you.”
16 Then to Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; indeed this vindicates you before all who are with you and before everybody.” Thus she was rebuked.
17 So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children;
18 for the LORD had  closed up all the wombs of the house of  Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.”
Everyone is in a season presently. Your season might be pleasant or unpleasant, good or bad, rough or smooth, easy or tough, filled with disappointment or promotion. This is what I want you to know, no matter how bad or good the season may be, you can make it count, you can make new things out of it. That you are not having some things doesn’t mean you don’t have anything, that which you have make use of it, put it to work.
Abraham was an old man without the promise child from God. He was in a long season of childlessness. Ismail ( and his mother) has been sent parking from home and Isaac was yet to be born to him. But in that season, Abraham was blessed with silver, sheep, oxen, and male and female servant still without a child. That season was a blessing to him despite not having a child. Every seasons has something to offer you no matter how bad or good it is.
You mean you are jobless? You can upgrade your certificate. Are you still looking for a spouse? You can upgrade yourself for the right person. You are still childless, keep serving the Lord before the children comes around when you will be too busy for God. Every season is not as bad as you think. Are you in money, a good season, try to invest for the dry season. Are you enjoying favour here and there? Make sure you help others grow through you. Is your ministry flourishing now? Utilize the season by speaking the truth that will build the right people in position of leadership for the country. There is something you can achieve with that season you are in, either good or bad season. Just think and look around you, there is something you can add to your life and that of others in this season of yours. Take action and move on.

TOPIC: Time and Season: Time And Season Not By Wisdom

Memory Verse: Dan 2:21
“21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.”

Bible Reading: Eccl. 9:11-12
“11 I returned and saw under the sun that— The race is not to the swift,  Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.
12 For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them.”
Have you found any MSc holder being a bike rider? A first class student working as a cleaner in an organisation owned/established by a  third class student? A lesser qualified controlling the higher. The wealthy without a child. Minister of the Gospel with health challenges. Most times, it’s not by qualification or by position but time and chances happens to us all.
Your degree will work. Your ideas will be honoured. Your wisdom will be needed. They that look down on you will soon look up to you. You will be called for. You will be sent for. You will smile again. You will become a celebrity, but know this, you will have to wait for your time. Your season is on the way. You don’t need to give up on God. That you are the audience today doesn’t mean you won’t be the performer soon, it’s your season that matters. It’s not by age, not by seniority and not by birth position, it’s by time and season.
Father, bring my season of manifestation speedily. Let my time come, let me bring glory to your name, In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen

TOPIC: Time and Season: God Changes Time and Season

Memory Verse: Dan 2:21
“21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.”

Bible Reading: Eccl. 3:1-8
“1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
8 A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.”
There’s nothing that last forever. Everything has an expiring date. Nobody remains in a place for life. No position or situations is permanent. There is time and season for everything under the sun. Darkness has it time and the sun has it time. Raining season and dry season. Good and bad time. The fact is this, every human will experience different times and seasons in life because we can’t remain in a position for life. Jesus is the season changer. He changes time and seasons. He turns things around at will. This makes Him God over all.
From our bible reading, King Solomon made it know to all that, human will go through those phases of changes in life. Seasons that are palatable and seasons that are not. Time that things works for us and when things won’t work. That things are going on smoothly now doesn’t mean it will continue that way, it’s not a curse, it’s according to time and season. Whatever you are going through today, I want you to know that, it’s just a season in your life, another season will soon come. You’ve gone through different season in life and they came and pass, this too will pass, but are you prepared for that new season you desire?
The season changer is alive and He keep changing seasons, May He make your seasons pleasant in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Week 29, Day 1
Sunday, 18 July, 2021. TOPIC: STUDY ON LUKE 5:1-11: 
BE A SOUL WINNER

Memory Verse: Prov. 11:30
“30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,  And he who wins souls  is wise.”

Bible Reading: Luke 5:10-11
“10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with  Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.”
11 So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.”
We were made to know that, every occurrences around our lives that it is beyond our comprehension is God calling us to Himself. He uses every avenue that can make us understand His voice to speak to us. Some might be challenging situations or uncomprehending blessings, whichever it may be, He is calling you to Himself, to do what, if you may ask? To be a soul winner.
After His blessings upon Peter, He converted him to fishers of men, a soul winner. 
Math. 4:18-20 put it this way,
“18 And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
20 They immediately left  their nets and followed Him.
The call of God for individual believer is to win souls for God. To draw men to Him with what He has bless us with. God saved you in order to save others. He called us to be a fisher of men so we can call others too.
Your wealth is a tool to win God a soul. Your marriage, profession, business and life style are tools in your hand to reach out to others for God’s kingdom. When you are stingy with what God blesses you with, you are only reducing the worth and the value of that gift. Have you reach out to people with that wonderful tools in your hands?

Week 28, Day 7
Saturday, 17 July, 2021. TOPIC: STUDY ON LUKE 5:1-11: 
BE HUMBLE ALWAYS

Memory Verse: Romans 9:16 
“So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.”

Bible Reading: Luke 5:8-9.
“8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at  Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” 
9 For he and all who were with him were  astonished at the catch of fish which they had  taken;”
Often, we believers take the mercies of God upon us to be a result of our righteousness. We feel we are righteous that’s why God has been blessing us, helping us and favouring us. That we are alive is not a prove of our faithfulness, but a prove that God loves us and want to us to be a useful vessel in His hand.
Peter identify what he  received as what was not deserve. He knew he was not that righteous to enjoy such benefit from God so, he was optimistic that he was a sinner who is not qualified to enjoy such blessings from God. He cried to Jesus to depart from Him because he was a sinful man who doesn’t deserve such attention from God.
When things are working for you stop seeing them as what you’ve worked for but as a way of God reaching out to you. Those miracles, favours, help and faithfulness of God around you is a way of God calling you to himself. He is seeking for your attention. Surrender yourself to Him today before it’s too late. He keep blessing you to turn your attention to Himself. Come and dine with Him, He is calling you as He called Simon Peter. What will be your response to His calling?

Week 28, Day 6
Friday, 16 July, 2021. TOPIC: STUDY ON LUKE 5:1-11: 
NOT BY EFFORT

Memory Verse: Romans 9:16 
“So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.”

Bible Reading: Luke 5:6-7
6 And when they had done this, they caught a  great number of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 So they signaled to  their partners in the other  boat to come and help them. And they came and  filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.”
God is ready to enlarge our coast. He is ready to make us great beyond our request. Most times we depend on our effort and not His blessings. We focus on our experiences and profession than God’s ability. The attention we are suppose to give to God we divert it for business but still we end up toiling without good result for our effort. God determines the happenings around us, when you give Him attention He attend to your needs specially.
Peter would have replied Jesus, “Oga am tired, pls come down from my boat, am going home” but he didn’t. All his effort amounted to nothing throughout the night but he attended to Jesus. Jesus told him to try again and spread the net, he complained about his toiling through the night but still went on to do according to his instructions and the blessings show forth. 
Peter would have explained the time and season of fishery to Jesus, that the fish will be resting by now, as we believe the time for service of God is our business time. We give more attention to our business more than the things of God. We hardly sacrifice our time to ear His plan for our life but plan our business diligently. He need our attention to reach out to us. Do you give Him the attention he needed from you?
