“MOVE FORWARD”
Basic
Scripture: Deuteronomy 1:5-7
Basic
Verse: Deuteronomy 1:6. “The Lord our God
spake unto us in Horeb saying, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount”
VOICE OF MEDITATION: Beloved, welcome to
this wonderful month of June. It is the month God has ordained for us to move
forward spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, financially and in all our
hearts desires. Can’t you see you have stayed on that mountain for too long? I
don’t know if you are one of those people who still doubt the credibility of
God performing miracles. I was discussing the Bible with someone about some
miracles God performed in the Old Testament. At first he did not believe that
all those things actually happened, I proved to him that God’s word is infallible;
well he said: if God did those miracles, why doesn’t He perform such miracles
today?
It
is quite unfortunate that people still ask such questions. My beloved, God does
not change, He is still the 'I am that I am'; the sweet rose of Sharon; the
Lord that makes a way where there seems to be no way; the creator of all things
visible and invisible. What is that thing that looks impossible to you? What is that situation that you have fervently
been praying for since the beginning of the year? What is that thing that has
made you do everything humanly possible just so that you will have your
miracle? Today’s message is telling you that you have stayed in that situation
enough. When the Israelites were between
the devil and the deep blue sea, it seemed as if nothing was about to happen;
Pharaoh and his men were getting closer and closer while the Red sea was right
before them. Then God who is the impossibility specialist rose and took charge.
Are you in a predicament that only God’s intervention will cause a positive
change? Rejoice for your sun will still shine again. There is always light at
the end of the tunnel. He is still the God of times and seasons. He still makes
water to gush out from the desert.
Today,
He still says, lo, I am with you always even to the end of the world. This
month is your month; you really need to know who you are and the heavenly back
up behind you. Your sun will surely shine again. Have you been humiliated,
rejected, heartbroken, failed in assignments and every day your tears soak your
pillows and there seems to be so much darkness surrounding you that you can’t
see any ray of sunlight, my beloved wipe away your tears, for the sun will
shine again. Stand up from where you are mourning, look straight for there is
still hope. Looking back can only bring pain and heart ache. Always remember
that Jesus is always there beside you. He will never leave nor forsake you. Why
would you want to give up this month that God has so much in stock for you?
There’s a friend you have in Jesus, your matter can’t be over until you win the
battle. The cloud may be very thick but God knows the right time to release
your rain. Rise up and speak into this month. Begin to speak in tongues,
welcome to your month of moving forward. Remember, others have gone but God’s
mercy has kept you alive. It is a great testimony so rejoice!!!!!

“MOVE FORWARD WITH YOUR
SACRIFICE”
Basic
scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:1-10
Memory
Verse: 2 Chronicles 7:4 “Then the king
and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.”
VOICE OF MEDITATION: Have you fasted and
prayed so much for a particular problem, yet there seems to be no head way? If
yes, then it is time to move forward with sacrifices. God is not just demanding
an offering, He is demanding a sacrifice. David was one of the men who
understood the secret of making God speak and he used it to his advantage. For David,
it is an abomination when you do not give God what will cost you something. No
wonder he is a man after God’s heart. David sowed a seed of selfless
sacrificial service unto God. No wonder his son Solomon followed his foot step.
I have always sat down to imagine how King Solomon was slaughtering the
sacrifices one after the other until he slaughtered one thousand. In your
imagination, picture the sight of the slaughtered cattle. It is really awesome
and mind blowing. No wonder his sacrifice touched the heart of God. He
sacrificed without reservations; his whole heart was in his giving. Solomon
poured out his heart to God through his giving and sacrifice. He showed God
that his heart has been sold out to him. As soon as he rendered those
sacrifices, heaven opened and God spoke.
Beloved,
how do you rate God in your life? One way of assessing the value you have for
God is the extent you can go in your giving and sacrifice. Maybe you should go
back and read the story of Cain and Abel. Look at what happened to Cain and how
he degenerated from being a stupid fellow to being a murderer of his own blood
brother. When you express love for God in your sacrifices and the intentions
behind them, it shows how much you appreciate goodness, mercies and loving
kindness of God in your life. There are sacrifices you make and God will
personally come down and speak to you while there are some that incur the wrath
of God. There are yet some that God will send His angels to attend to your case.
With
what you are passing through; which one will you prefer? As for me, I will like
to offer the kind of King Solomon’s sacrifice that shook heaven and caused God
to appear to him. What is God worth in your life? Let heaven be moved by the
quality of your sacrifices. Moreover, King Solomon made a sacrifice that shook
heaven; he did not mind what his wife, his children, his friends, his cabinet
members, his subjects would say; what mattered to him was what he would do to
provoke heaven positively. Is that your attitude? Are you concerned about
making God happy or are you still considering what people around you will say?
You know the situation you are in, you know what has kept you sleepless all
through the night, why not do what you have never done before so as to get the
result you have never gotten. Be wise!!!!!
Daily Prayer Activities

judgments.

“FORGET THE
PAST AND MOVE ON”
Basic Scripture: Job 29:1-10.
Memory verse: Job 29:2 “Oh that I were as in months past, as in the
days when God preserved me;”
VOICE OF MEDITATION:
Many people usually view the past with pleasure and regard the present with so
much dissatisfaction. They always look back upon the days which they have known
him, but as to their present relationship with him, it is dry or cold. In this
month of moving forward, drop the days of the past and move on. Before now,
such people feel they were close to God but today, they feel they have wandered
away from Him and speak like Job who out of desperation said; oh that I were as
in months past; they complain they have lost their evidence or that they have
lost their peace of mind or that they have no reason to enjoy the grace God has
given to them. They feel they have lost their zeal for God’s glory.
Do
you know why you are feeling this way? You have neglected your place of prayer.
A neglected closet is the beginning of all spiritual decline. You might be
suffering from idolatry; your heart may have been occupied with something else
more than God. You have set your affection on the mundane things of this life
instead of heavenly things. A jealous God will not be content with a divided
heart. He wants to be our first and our best. He will always withdraw the
sunshine and joy of His divine presence from a wandering heart. Hence, you
might be feeling unsatisfied with God because you are so self confident and
self righteous.
Beloved,
yester years, you used to humbly sit at the feet of Jesus to take instructions;
you have a mentor whom God blessed you with to direct you in his ways but today
pride has taken over. Dearest, you
cannot do it all by yourself. Do you still remember those years you adhered to
instructions your relationship with Jesus was intact, enjoyable and heavenly?
In fact, if you were not as you were in months past, do not be satisfied with
your present condition, move forward and make a spiritual shift. Do not sit
there wishing for a return of your former relationship with Jesus. All you need
is to go back to Him and tell Him your bad situation and state.
Beloved,
ask Him for the grace and strength to help you to walk more closely with Him. Humble
yourself before Him and He will lift you up and give you the opportunity to
enjoy the light of His confidence. Do not just sit sighing and lamenting while
the great physician is ready to pick you up and mend your broken heart. Stop
wishing, instead act immediately.

“MOVE FORWARD AND FUlFILL
PURPOSE”
Basic Scripture: Romans 14:1-10
Memory Verse: Romans 14:8; “for whether we live, we live unto the lord
and whether we die we die unto the lord; whether we live therefore, or die, we
are the Lord’s”.
VOICE
OF MEDITATION:
Take a moment and ask yourself if your life on earth shows that you belong to
God. Pause and wonder on your secret life and judge whether you can be called
the lords. Beloved, if God did not want us to do something very meaningful here
on earth, He would have taken us to heaven the moment we got born again. It is
possible for someone to be taken straight to heaven immediately after being
born again. But God has given every believer a specific instruction to always
do the task of reconciliation. We are the light of the world and the dark world
is depending on us to shine. Are you aware that your neighbor or partner is
depending on the light in you as a child of God to see through this dark world?
It is very true that our sanctification is a day to day process. The bible
makes us understand that we are changed from glory to glory, from imperfection
to perfection; yet if God wanted, He might have changed us and taken us to
heaven at once. Why then are we still alive? Why is the army of the living God
still on the battle field when God can just defeat their enemy (the devil) and
give them victory? Why are we still wandering from one missionary journey to
the other spreading the good news when one word from His lips would spread the
good news and convince everyone to repent and serve Him?
The answer is this: we are here on earth to “live
unto the lord and cause others to know His everlasting love for mankind”. He
saved us to save others. We are here on earth as the farmers in the parable of
the sower in the bible, to scatter good seeds, bring hope to the hopeless
world, glorify Christ in the our daily lives and to show the way of the kingdom
to those whom the devil has held captive. We are the light through which the
world sees the glorious gospel. We are the “salt of the earth” therefore we are
preservatives of the earth. Where we are, things are not allowed to go wrong.
Things are supposed to progress where we are. Our duties include mending broken
hearts of people that are not truly children of God. We are not destroyers; we
are menders of the broken hearts. We are here as workers for Him and as
“workers together with him, let us work in view of His calling”.
Therefore child of covenant, why not leave your
comfort zone today? Why not move out, move forward and fulfill your purpose on
earth? May the lord be with you all as you find and fulfill your purpose on
earth in Jesus name.
Daily Prayer Activities
v Read Timothy 3
v Say the rosary prayer
v In repentance,
