TOPIC: WHY YOU CAN BE SURE OF VICTORY 1
MEMORISE:
“The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.” - (Psalm 89:11)
READ: Psalm 104:1-5 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
As a child of God, you can be sure that God will give you victory no matter the situation you are faced with. The first reason is that nobody can defeat Him on land. Psalm 24:1 says:
The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
If your enemy is on land, he cannot win the battle because God was the One who laid the foundations of the earth! In Numbers 16:23-33, some people gathered themselves together against Moses. What the Almighty God did was to speak to the earth to open its mouth and swallow them.
Some people may be gathered against you; because your Father is the One who owns the land and the fullness thereof, He will not allow them to overcome you. The ground could not have Jesus because after three days, the Saviour of the world arose from the grave. He has power over the land and so your enemies cannot overwhelm you no matter how hard they try. The ground had Lazarus within it for four days, but the Resurrection and the Life spoke just a word, and he came out alive.
When I was much younger, there was a wedding in my village, attended by all the witches and wizards there. I preached against them with everything I had that day. When I finished preaching, they told the mother of the bride, “So you invited this man to come and insult us, right? We will see how your daughter will give birth.”The daughter became pregnant and the woman ran to me saying, “They said my daughter will never deliver.” I told her, “The day your daughter will deliver, every one of them will be asleep.” The woman delivered safely and that child is now a medical doctor.
As long as the Lord lives, every word against your prosperity on this earth will never come to pass in Jesus name. Lamentations 3:37 says “Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?”
As long as God is your Father and the earth with its fullness is His, you are guaranteed a safe passage into success and victory, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT:
Heavenly Father, in the name that is above every other, I command all contrary powers to fall before me now, so that Your name alone will be glorified in all areas of my life.

TOPIC: BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS 2

MEMORISE:
“But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.” - (1 Corinthians 5:11)

READ: Genesis 13:8-15 (KJV)

MESSAGE:
Covetousness is so dangerous that the Bible says you should beware of it to such an extent that when you see it in the life of someone, you are to stay away from the fellow.

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. - (1 Corinthians 5:11)

Abraham kept company with Lot his nephew - a covetous fellow, as we saw in yesterday’s study. Little did he know that Lot was hindering him from hearing the voice of God and for the promise of the Lord being fulfilled in his life. Immediately Lot left him, God spoke.

And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. - (Genesis 13:14-15)

If you have a friend who is always talking about how he or she wants money, cars and worldly possessions, yet never talks about impacting his or her world or doing whatever assignments the Lord would have him or her do, part ways with such a fellow. If he or she is never content and always wants what others have, so desperately as to be willing to do anything to get it, such a fellow is too dangerous to be called your friend. If any such friend refuses to change, respectfully part ways with the person, the same way Abraham parted from Lot. You have to take this step so that the person would not hinder you from getting what God has in store for you.

There is a difference between being a big dreamer and being covetous. The big dreamer talks about impacting his or her world, with the resultant effect of riches following, while the covetous is not interested in making the world better-only in the riches. Understand this and look out for how your friends see riches. If you discover that they are covetous and will not change, part ways with them.

KEY POINT:
Don't keep company with the covetous.

TOPIC: WHY YOU CAN BE SURE OF VICTORY 2

MEMORISE:
“And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” - (Mark 4:41)

READ: Mark 4:35-41 (KJV)

MESSAGE:
The second reason you can always be sure of victory as a child of God is that nobody can defeat God by sea. The Bible says the wind and the sea obey Him. Matthew 8:27 tells us:
But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

If the enemy tries to fight you within the waters, my God will take care of them. In Exodus 14:21-28, as the children of Israel were passing through the Red Sea, the enemy decided to follow, but as soon as Pharaoh and his army got to the middle of the sea, the Lord told it to close up.

While the disciples were struggling with the storm that was rocking the boat, Jesus was sleeping. When He woke up, He spoke a word and the storm ceased (Mark 4:35-41). If the disciples had been wise, they would have slept like Jesus did, knowing that no matter how the storm raged, it could not kill its Creator. Even if the enemy threatens you on the sea, as long as you are a child of God, the Creator is in the boat with you.

God sent Jonah to Nineveh but he boarded a boat to Tarshish. A storm arose due to his disobedience and the passengers had to throw him into the sea to save their lives, then a huge fish swallowed him. God spoke to the fish saying, “This is not meat for you to eat, this is just someone to be carried to his original destination.” As soon as Jonah came to his senses, God ordered the fish to vomit him onto dry ground (Jonah 1-2). All your enemies who want to operate by sea are wasting their time because the Almighty God controls the waters and everything therein. He will never let them win, as long as you are His child.

A lady came to me and said, “Sir, I have found the man I want to marry. However, my father said that when I was born, I was dedicated to a marine spirit, and the spirit said my husband will die the day I get married.” I told her, “I have somebody who can control marine spirits because He controls the sea.” I prayed with them and they got married. The next time I saw them, the couple and their baby were healthy and strong. You cannot be defeated by sea because the wind and the sea must obey the word of the Lord concerning you.

PRAYER POINT:
Heavenly Father, You are the Master of the sea and the wind; speak to all storms in my life to cease now, in the mighty name of Jesus.
