And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar." "21. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done." Thinking Point: God rewards Genuine Sacrifice even with generational blessings. Every hindrance to the rewards of your sacrifice, by th...

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession," "2.

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?" Thinking Point: Every sacrifice should be seen as being presented to God not the man receiving it (he/she is just a medium). Today, I pray for you that while presenting your sacrifice, may you not be distra...

Thinking Point: Our sacrifice should move God, not by quantity but the quality. May our sacrifice find its way to the presence of God in Jesus name, Amen. The third thing to know about sacrific...

Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?" "12. Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them." Thinking Point: Sacrifice becomes unavoidable when the Hand of God is reveale...

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." "16. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." BIBLE READING: 2 Chronicles 20:21(NLT) 21 After consulting the people, the king appointed singers to walk ahead of the army, singing to the lord and praising him for his holy splendor. This is what they sang: “Give thanks to the lord; his faithful love endures forever!”  Thinking Point: If there's anything God loves to receive from us without His request is giving Him our Sacrifices. This week, the needed strength, help, favour and grace for the task ahead is made available in Jesus Name, Amen. What we need to know about Sacrifice as believers, Number one is  that, God appreciate Sacrifice without His re...

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;" "7.

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness."

TOPIC: SACRIFICE: Examples Of Sacrifice: Your Body (7) MEMORY VERSE:  Hebrews 13:15-16. "15. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." "16. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." BIBLE READING: Romans 12:1 " 1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Thinking Point: Your person is more important to God than your sacrifices. One aspect that God focuses more on is our person, who you were before Him is more important than what we are giving Him. Remember Cain in Genesis 4:5, the scripture said,  "5 but he did not accept Cain and his gift. This made Cain very angry, and he looked dejected." Before accepting your sacrifice your person most be special to God. That was why...

TOPIC: SACRIFICE: Examples Of Sacrifice: Your Substance (6) MEMORY VERSE:  Hebrews 13:15-16. "15. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." "16. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." BIBLE READING: Proverbs 3:9. "9. Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:" Thinking Point: Releasing your substances to God is a form of sacrifice. We and our substance belongs to God. Sacrifice in time past was made as burnt offerings, giving God from the resources He has blessed us with. Then, there was specifications for different types of offerings to God and even when to give them. Giving of these sacrifices hasn't changed till date, it's just the avenue of sacrifice that changed. Then, it was to kill an animal, sprinkle the blood then make a burnt offering and God i...

  TOPIC: SACRIFICE: Examples Of Sacrifice: Thanksgiving (5) MEMORY VERSE:  Hebrews 13:15-16. "15.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." "5. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." Thinking Point: "When the sacrifice of Thanksgiving is missing in one's life, other sacrifices are worthless". The first reason for any Sacrifice is to appreciate God's benefit over one's life. I can boldly say, the cheapest sacrifice one can give to God without a cost is Thanksgiving. Remember, God is not move by the size of our sacrifice but the ...

TOPIC: SACRIFICE: Examples Of Burnt Sacrifice (4) MEMORY VERSE:  Hebrews 13:15-16. "15.

In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee." Thinking Point: A Genuine and outstanding Sacrifice hastens God's response than prayers. May those close doors against your life respond to your genuine sacrifice in Jesus name, amen. King Solomon ...

And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD." "4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:" "5. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell." Thinking point: Our sacrifice to God must portrait the best from our resource. This week, we shall enjoy the best of God, be His ambassador that troubles the kingdom of hell in Jesus Name, Amen. The first sacrifice rec...

TOPIC: SACRIFICE: What Is Sacrifice? (1) MEMORY VERSE:  Hebrews 13:15-16. "15. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." "16. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." BIBLE READING: Psalms 116:17 "17. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD." Thinking Point: If there's anything God wants from us, it's our sacrifice day in and day out. Welcome to a new week and welcome to this new series. We shall be digging through the Bible to see What Sacrifice is, categories of sacrifice and how to offer them to God. Today, our focus is What is Sacrifice? Sacrifice Is often referred to as 'offering something valuables' such as a valued animal or a portion of one's possessions, to God as an act of worship, repentance, or thanksgiving. Sacrifices we...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Miracles Are Real (7) MEMORY VERSE:  Philippians 2:3 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.  BIBLE READING: Luke 7:9-10 9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!”  10 And when the officer’s friends returned to his house, they found the slave completely healed.  Thinking Point: God can't deny your taste for Miracle with a Good reputation. Prayers, Fasting, Faith and Action are keys to the heart of God. These keys moves God to act on our behalf regardless of how big our requests may seems. These keys have been tested and trusted to be working effectively for many years in our walk with God. From another angle, we've seen from our study this week that, our reputation also have a key role to play in receiving from God. Accessing and receiving fro...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Significant Of A Word (6) MEMORY VERSE:  Philippians 2:3 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.  BIBLE READING: Luke 7:7-8 7 I am not even worthy to come and meet you. JUST SAY THE WORD FROM WHERE YOU ARE, AND MY SERVANT WILL BE HEALED. 8 I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.” Thinking Point: Words Are Powerful Because It Has The Ability To Create Or Destroy Anything In The World. A beautiful Friday for us all, may all our efforts for the week be crown with the blessings of God in Jesus name, Amen. From our lesson today I will like to teach on the "Significant Of The Word". The Roman officer with his office understood this better in his days and that was why he imployed it. He ...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Knowledge About Faith (5) MEMORY VERSE:  Philippians 2:3 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.  BIBLE READING: Luke 7:6-7 6 So Jesus went with them. But just before they arrived at the house, the officer sent some friends to say, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself by coming to my home, for I am not worthy of such an honor. 7 I am not even worthy to come and meet you. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. Thinking Point: The level of our "Knowledge about Faith" is what determines the accuracy and speed of our miracle/result. Our walk with God will yield positive result in all ramifications of our life in Jesus name, Amen. Today, we are seeing what I call, "The Faith Knowledge" of the Roman officer, yes, it's more effective. This knowledge puts you above every other contemporary striving for the same thing you are after. ...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Reputation Moves Or Stop God. (4) MEMORY VERSE:  Philippians 2:3 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.  BIBLE READING: Luke 7:6 "6 So Jesus went with them...." Thinking Point: "Most times, God responds to our reputation than our words and prayer." May God reward your good deals in Jesus name, Amen. There's this word I like to say, that, "God doesn't just listen to our prayers but he grant us what we deserve". Yes, some Christian's behaviour and attitude works against their desired life style. They do evil but seek God to do them good. They refuse to help or bless others but pray that God blesses them, that is not who God is. God is principled, what you make happen to others is what He makes happen to you not just your prayers. One can't be a wicked soul and keep praying to God to protect him/her from evil, no, the only thin...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Your Reputation By Others (3) MEMORY VERSE:  Philippians 2:3 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others.

Brethren, today shall be fill with result in Jesus mighty name, Amen. Learning further from the Roman Officer, after Meeting with the respected Jewish Elders, they all went to speak with Jesus about him. Mind you, many of the Jewish spoke against Jesus often in the temple and criticized His teachings but because of this Officer, they put aside their differences to meet with Jesus. They went straight to their point, gave a good reputation of this ...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Wealthy And Humble (2) MEMORY VERSE:  Philippians 2:3 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.  BIBLE READING: Luke 7:3 3 When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent some respected Jewish elders to ask him to come and heal his slave.  Thinking Point: Position, Title, Mantle, Wealth and Power are all temporary, don't let them control you, be Humble. This week, the blessings of the Lord shall be released on us in Jesus name, Amen. As we continue with lessons learnt from the Roman Officer, our focus today is His Humility in approaching Jesus. With the caliber and position he belongs, he would have sent his servants to call Jesus to heal his servant. Wagons would have been arranged or enticed him with wealth so Jesus could come to his house but because of his humility, He went through the Jewish Elders to invite Jesus to heal his valued servant, this is humility...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Value Equally (1) MEMORY VERSE:  Philippians 2:3 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.  BIBLE READING: Luke 7:2 2 At that time the highly valued slave of a Roman officer was sick and near death. Thinking Point: Everyone has value no matter their level. What you don't value is what you abuse. Welcome to another wonderful week, the Lord, who grants success, will make this week a successful one for us all in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.  This week our study will focus on "The Roman Officer". As Christians, we have a lot of lessons to learn from this humble officer which shall be unfold this week. We shall start with the first lesson which is, "Value Equally".

TOPIC: LESSON FROM KING SAUL AND DAVID: Good Behavior Speaks (7) MEMORY VERSE:  James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:14-15. "14. And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him." "15. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him." Thinking Point: Your behaviour is what describes you, and determines what you get from God and Men. Everyone is easily described by their behavior, either good or bad. This behavior is a pointer to what you enjoy or lack, your behaviour speaks louder than your voice. There are two things that behavior attracts to you which is what we are discussing this morning,  "1. Your behaviour either attracts or repels God's presence. The scripture said of David, "And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; AND THE LORD WAS WITH HIM." Your behavior either a...

TOPIC: LESSON FROM KING SAUL AND DAVID: Be Happy For Other's Victory (6) MEMORY VERSE:  James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:14-16. "14. And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him." "15. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him." "16. But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them." Thinking Point: "When you're excited for other's breakthrough and success, you tend to be celebrated too". In our last study, we discuss about jealousy being the root of all evil. The alternative route to escape jealousy is to be happy and excited with other's success. When you celebrate with others it's a way of magnetising celebration to one's self. Many troubles in life would have been avoided if we are happy for other's achi...

TOPIC: LESSON FROM KING SAUL AND DAVID: Jealousy Birth Wickedness (5) MEMORY VERSE:  James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:10-11. "10. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand." "11. And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice." Thinking Point. When Jealousy is not controlled, taming your actions will be difficult. Uncontrolled jealousy is uncontrolled wickedness. The most dangerous people to be around with are jealous people, especially when you never know they are jealous of you. Nothing pleases them about you, all your effort to make them happy leads to more envy and negative thoughts. David had put ...

TOPIC: LESSON FROM KING SAUL AND DAVID: Beware Of Fighting God (4) MEMORY VERSE:  James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:9. "9. And Saul eyed David from that day and forward." Thinking Point. You may end up fighting against God while fighting men. Pick your battles wisely. In the earlier chapter, Prophet Samuel anointed David as a replacement of King Saul unknowingly to Saul. This anointing qualifies David as untouchable to anyone. This was also the reason for his victory over Goliath but this was not known to King Saul. Now, Saul chose that same David as his enemy, is that not deadly? No man can prevail against God's anointed which is the reason David never took advantage to Kill King Saul when he found the opportunity. Many times we fail and are defeated because we are fighting against God and until we realize and turn back it may not end well. When God calls someone...

TOPIC: LESSON FROM KING SAUL AND DAVID: Beware Of Competition (3) MEMORY VERSE:  James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:9. "9. And Saul eyed David from that day and forward." Thinking Point. You don't succeed by competing, you succeed by focusing on your assignment. Life and age differs. Seasons and purpose may look alike but they aren't the same for every one. No matter who is under your tutelage, he can't run your vision or your dream, they can only function according to their assignment, so you don't need to compete or compel them to run your vision. Your season isn't the same with that person you're competing with. You may start earlier than him/her but he will still meet up with what God has assigned him/her, stop trying to be the person you're not called to be. King Saul was carried away thinking the throne belong to his family. He began t...

  TOPIC: LESSON FROM KING SAUL AND DAVID: Taming The Mouth (2) MEMORY VERSE:  James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:7-8. "7. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands." Thinking Point: The words from our mouth either have a positive or negative impact on us and others, always think before you speak. The lifting and downfall we experience most times are results of the words of mouth. Discouraging or encouraging others is also a product of the mouth, how do we speak and what do we say often, does our words hurt or heals others? Do we destroy or build our lives with our words? We need to use our words to build, instill courage and impact others and ourselves. When we are joyful do we watch what we say? When we are going through tough times, do we constructively use our words? The women's words ...
