WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS


MAY 20.

But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it. - Exodus 14:16.

This morning The Lord is asking us a very valid question, as He asked Moses when he was receiving his mantle of leadership. I ask us today what is in our hands to do the work God has given us specifically? There was only one Moses who God had equipped ahead of time even before his encounter with God at the burning bush. There were others who God used in diverse ways to manifest his power.

1. Moses had a Shepherd’s rod.

2. The Widow had a small jar of oil.

Elder Moses did not know what power he had in the rod he was holding. He had forgotten what happened when the snake came out before him and Aaron. Are you a ‘Moses’ with a powerful rod in your hand, laid back because of a pharaoh who is standing before you. Remember that God has control over decisions and actions of leaders, including kings. - Prov. 21 vs 1

The widow with a small jar of oil was waiting for her creditors to come and enslave her two sons. God sent the prophet Elisha to multiply the small jar of oil that she had and all her creditors were paid and she had some left over.

1 Corinthians 12 :1; 8-12 tells us that there are nine supernatural gifts available to the Christian. Each one of us is endowed with one and maybe more than one of these spiritual gifts. Have you identified your gift? What are you waiting for to manifest the healing powers you have in the laying of your hands on the sick.

The cemetery has been identified as the place that has the most treasures of the world. Books that were not written, testimonies that were not shared, supernatural gifts that were not used, locked up, dead and buried! What has God given you in your hands, in the words of encouragement like Barnabas was known as the encourager! Arise and wake up, the hour is now to be the David of your time, the Goliath in your nation will be brought down with the sling and the stones in your hands.

Let Us Pray: We lift up our hands to receive the supernatural gift bestowed on us. We are grateful to you our Lord for the manifestation of your power in our hands as we look inwards for what you have given us to manifest your power; our hands and our hearts are lifted up to you.

Bible verse: Proverbs 21: 1-9, 2 kings 4: 1-7, Exodus 14: 15-18.

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
