 EVERLASTING FATHER! (Thursday,17th August 2017)

 MOMERISE:
"I Am Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The Ending, saith The Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, The Almighty." Revelation 1:8 Read: Isaiah 9:6-7 9:6. For unto us A Child is born, unto us A Son is given: and the government shall be upon His Shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 9:7. Of the increase of His Government and Peace there shall be no end, upon The Throne of David, and upon His Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The Zeal of The Lord of Hosts will perform this. Message: A. A Father is the male personality among the two parents from whom children originate. 1. Parents are uniquely linked to their children by blood, and they are the source of the fundamental and distinctive characteristics of their children. 2. This special connection is responsible for the usual display of filial affection between parents and their children. 3. There is a kind of Deep Love, Compassion, Dedication, Trust, Respect, Devotion and Loyalty that usually exist in the relationship between parents and their children that may not exist in other forms of relationships. 4. Furthermore, good fathers are known to provide Leadership, Protection, Provision, Discipline, Spiritual Guidance, and Emotional Stability for members of their family. 5. Obviously, mothers are equally important and their role as parents and leaders in the family cannot be overemphasized. 6. However, under normal circumstances, the balance of a family is usually maintained by its organization around a father-figure. 7. This is why homes without a father tend to become dysfunctional families. 8. I therefore pray that God will restore all broken homes, support all single parents, and rebuke death in our families in The Name of Jesus. Amen! B. Meanwhile, there is A Father of fathers that can do far more that any earthly father. 1. He is The Ever Present One Who can never die. 2. He is called The Everlasting Father in Isaiah 9:6. 3. Through This Name, The Holy Spirit is indicating to us that all those who trust in God and yield to The Lordship of Jesus Christ will never be without A Father. 4. Because Jesus is The Everlasting Father, true Christians can enjoy all the benefits of Divine Fatherhood unhindered for eternity. 5. When the storms of life rage or when you are overwhelmed by difficult circumstances, you can safely trust in The Love and support of The Everlasting Father. 6. When poverty, failure, sickness or death stares you in the face, just call upon The Everlasting Father and your night will be turned to day. Amen! 7. If you are out of tune with Your Creator, if you are perpetually living under the influence of any power that is beyond your control, if your life is upside down and you are desperately looking for a way out, then I have good news for you. C. Jesus is The Everlasting Father with compassion for His Children. 1. He pities His Children and shelters them with His Love. 2. Psalms 103:13 "As A Father pities his children, So The Lord pities those who fear Him. 3. His mercy endures forever and you can anticipate His forgiveness with joy. 4. Above all, these benefits are yours to enjoy for eternity, if only you surrender your life to Him. 5. I decree to every troubled soul that is reading this devotional, receive the intervention of The Everlasting Father now in The Name of Jesus. Amen!
 PRAYER POINT: Pray that the Everlasting Father will heal every broken home and dysfunction in your family and local church.

THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (Friday, 18th August 2017)


 MEMORIES:
 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth away. 1 Peter 5:4 READ : 2 Timothy 4:7-8 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 19-20, Ezekiel 26:19-27:9

 MESSAGE:
 In several passages of Scripture, the Christian life is compared to being engaged in a sporting activity, particularly the analogy of running a race. In other to finish strong like Apostle Paul did, we need to pay close attention to these analogies and apply their lessons to our Christian life. 1 Corinthians 9:24-26 makes it clear that everyone that participates in a race does so for the purpose of winning. It also says that winning requires serious training and perseverance. Furthermore, this passage states that, of the many participants in the race, only one person emerges as winner. 2 Timothy 2:5 reveals that you must play according to the rules and regulations of the game to be declared the winner. From Hebrew 14:1-3, we understand that we must have our minds set on the reward in order to endure the rigours and pains of training. 2 Timothy 2:4 says athletes must observe a disciplined, controlled, and regimented lifestyle like soldiers while preparing for a competition. You need to measure your Christian life by these analogies to know how well you are faring in the race of Heaven. You should not be satisfied with just being a Christian who enjoys the support and encouragement of the spectators only; your ultimate goal should be to make it to Heaven and receive the crown of righteousness. You should be prepared for rigorous training in the word of God, and persevere through the process of sanctification. Like the eagle, you should take the flight towards heaven as a personal endeavour and ignore the multitude. You must strictly obey every detail in the word of God without reservation. Your mind must be fixed on the crown of righteousness and the glory that awaits the saints in Heaven, so that you can finish your course in this world with joy. Furthermore, you must submit yourself to the discipline, control and regimented lifestyle described in the word of God and as directed from time to time by your divinely appointed coach: the Holy Spirit. The crown of righteousness is something of value promised to every Christian that would serve God faithfully in this world and endure the persecution and tests of faith that comes with following Jesus Christ. This crown is meant for those who would joyfully accept discipline and training in righteousness, those who will remain obedient to the word of God regardless of the dictates of popular culture, and soul winners determined to sacrifice everything in order to make Heaven. I hereby pray for everyone who is earnestly looking forward to eternal life, that you will not lose your crown in Jesus’ Name.
 PRAYER POINT: Father, please help me to pay the price of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, and help me make it to Heaven in Jesus’ Name.

 HYMN 14: TAKE MY LIFE 1. Take my life and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee. Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in endless praise. 2. Take my hands and let them move At the impulse of Thy love. Take my feet and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee. 3. Take my voice and let me sing, Always, only for my King. Take my lips and let them be Filled with messages from Thee. 4. Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect and use Every power as Thou shalt choose. 5. Take my will and make it Thine, It shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is Thine own, It shall be Thy royal throne. 6. Take my love, my Lord; I pour At Thy feet its treasure store. Take myself and I will be Ever, only, all for Thee.

  In an interview with Nigeria Tribune, Reverend Gabriel Beni Omoge, who is one of the factional leader of the Church has revealed why he was ordained as one of the head of all Pastors of the Church despite not being close to the late Pastor and Supreme Head, Reverend Maforikan. While speaking with the Newspaper, Omoge likened how he found his way into Celestial Church like that of a spectator, saying he visited the Church for the first time in 1977 on the invitation of his elder brother. "My elder brother invited me to CCC Ikeja Parish 2, Lagos in 1977 putting on white robes without shoes, not knowing what God had in stock for me" he narrated.  At the parish, he was prophesied to, that he has been ordained a prophet of God, but he never believed not until in 1978, when he began to prophesy during a revival service in Ondo State. Omoge described how he found his way as the head of the Church, as the work of God, stating that he was not close to his predece...

10 Things “Yahweh” Means, By John Piper

By
Image
God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.” (Exodus 3:15) God’s name is almost always translated LORD (all caps) in the English Bible. But the Hebrew would be pronounced something like “Yahweh,” and is built on the word for “I am.” So every time we hear the word Yahweh, or every time you see LORD in the English Bible, you should think: this is a proper name (like Peter or John) built out of the word for “I am” and reminding us each time that God absolutely is. There are at least 10 things the name Yahweh, “I AM,” says about God: 1. He never had a beginning. Every child asks, “Who made God?” And every wise parent says, “Nobody made God. God simply is. And always was. No beginning.” 2. God will never end. If he did not come into being he cannot go out of being, be...
