TOPIC: HOW TO START: Start With Little (4) One Year Bible Reading: Esther 1 - 4 Acts 15 : 1 - 21 MEMORY VERSE: Colossians 3:23-2. (KJV) “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” BIBLE READING: Zechariah 4:10 “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.” Thinking Point: Everything that is small has the potential to become big when it is well managed. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV. May God’s grace be sufficient for us today, and carry us above every hurdle, in Jesus’ mighty name...

TOPIC: HOW TO START: Start With Who You Know (3) One Year Bible Reading: Nehemiah 11 - 13 Acts 14 : 1 - 28 MEMORY VERSE: Colossians 3:23-2. (KJV) “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 22:1. (NLT) “So David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. Soon his brothers and all his other relatives joined him there.” Thinking Point: Every work starts with those who believe and trust in you. “And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.” Exodus 33:14 KJV. May God’s presence go with us this week to usher us into His ordained purpose for our lives, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen. How to Start God’s plan for our lives has been our study. We’ve seen: Start Where You Are, Start With What You Have, and Start With What You Know. Today, the next step is: “Start With Who You Know.” In other words, star...

TOPIC: HOW TO START: Start with What You Know (3) One Year Bible Reading: Nehemiah 9 - 10 Acts 13 : 13 - 52 MEMORY VERSE: Colossians 3:23-2. (KJV) “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” BIBLE READING: Matthew 25:16. “Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.” Thinking Point: Starting With What You Know supersedes starting anyhow or competing. “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 KJV. Joy is a choice, not a condition. Be joyful no matter what. Starting is the beginning of every change you want in life. To determine to start is the key to birth a new story. God decided to create heaven and earth. He knew what He was capable of, He started, and here we are today. You must know what you are capable of and start doing it....

TOPIC: HOW TO START: Start with What You Have (2) One Year Bible Reading: Nehemiah 7 - 8 Acts 13 : 1 - 12 MEMORY VERSE: Colossians 3:23-2. (KJV) “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:40. “And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.” Thinking Point: What you have is the key to what you need. Identify it and start with it. The Psalmist says, “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us… Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.” Psalm 124:1-2, 6 KJV. We return all the glory to our God for every benefit w...

TOPIC: HOW TO START: Start Where You Are (1) One Year Bible Reading: Nehemiah 4 - 6 Acts 12 : 1 - 25 MEMORY VERSE: Colossians 3:23-2. (KJV) “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 16:11-12. “And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.” Thinking Point: Your starting point is always where you are, not where you don’t have access. God says, “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” Psalm 32:8 (KJV). May the Holy...

TOPIC: Faith On The Road: Result At Hand (8) One Year Bible Reading: Nehemiah 1 - 3 Actss 11 : 19 - 30 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” BIBLE READING: Luke 8:54-56. “And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.” “And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.” “And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.” Thinking Point: Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: be thou patient.” Stay through. This is God’s word for us today: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10 KJV. So shall it be in Jesus’ name, Amen. As we round up the topic, “FAITH On The Road”, we are focusing on the reward of faith — the ...

TOPIC: Faith On The Road: Avoid Doubters (7) One Year Bible Reading: Ezra 9 - 10 Acts 11 : 1- 18 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” BIBLE READING: Luke 8:51-53 “And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.” Thinking Point: Look away from sympathizers and doubters — you’ve come too far to give up. This morning, every crooked path before us shall be made straight, valleys before us shall work in our favour, mountains shall preserve us from evil, and what is meant for evil shall begin to work for our good in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen. Faith On The Road   The man Jairus succeeded after all hurdles to bring Jesus home. He got home and met mourners and wailers wh...

TOPIC: Faith On The Road: Trials Of Faith (6) One Year Bible Reading: Ezra 7 - 8 Acts 10 :24 - 48 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” BIBLE READING: Luke 8:49-50. “While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.’ “But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.” Thinking Point: Resistance intensifies as the manifestation of faith draws near. Today we will laugh, we shall be joyful, sorrow will be far from our dwelling. Doors of opportunity will open in their accord and God’s name will be glorified in all in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen. Faith On The Road has been our focus. Jairus was waiting with hope and encouragement when the woman with the issue of blood received her healing without seeking Jesus’ permission. He must have celebrated with the hope that, ...

TOPIC: Faith On The Road: Healing Without Permission (5) One Year Bible Reading: Ezra 4 - 6 Acts 10 :1 - 23 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” BIBLE READING: Luke 8:43-48 “And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?” “And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.” “And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately.” ‘And he said unto her, Daughter, b...

TOPIC: Faith On The Road: Your Distraction Is Someone's Miracle (4) One Year Bible Reading: Ezra 1 - 3 Acts 8:41 - 40 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” BIBLE READING: Luke 8:43-48 “And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

TOPIC: Faith On The Road: Other's Miracle Doesn't Cancel Yours (3) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 33 - 34 Acts 8:9 - 40 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” BIBLE READING: Luke 8:45-48. “And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?” “And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.” “And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately.” ‘And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.” Thinking Point:  Others Receiving Their Miracle Doesn’t Reduce The Chances Of Your Miracle. Be Patient. The God of peace will grant us peace...

TOPIC: Faith On The Road: Patience Without Complaining (2) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 33 - 34 Acts 8:9 - 40 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” BIBLE READING: Luke 8:43-46. “And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,” “Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.” “And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?” “And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.” Thinking Point:  Patience Is An Important Virtue To Cultivate While Walking With God May the Spirit of the Lord that keeps from falling rest and abide with us all. May He lead us to fulfill God’s purpose for our destiny in Jes...

TOPIC: Faith On The Road: The Humility (1) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 31 - 32 Acts 7: 54 - 8:1 - 8 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” BIBLE READING: Luke 8:41-42 (KJV) “And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:” “For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.” Thinking Point:  Humility Enhances The Substance of Faith This morning I pray that our walk with God will not end in shame, pain, bitterness, or fruitlessness in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen. We will reap the harvest of our service and commitment to God in Jesus’ mighty Name, Amen. I’d like to remind us that this month has been declared our month of “Walking In Faith,” so our series has been centered on faith. Today we’re starting a new teach...

TOPIC: Faith Doesn't Quit (14) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 29 - 30 Acts 7: 1 - 53 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." BIBLE READING: Hebrews 11:40. “God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.” Thinking Point:  Faith doesn’t quit until substance is visible for all to see. This morning, I pray with you: your faith will not fail. You will not quit nor give up on your faith. Every distraction will succumb to the power of God in your life and situation, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen. Today, being the last in our series on Faith, we shall focus on “Faith Doesn’t Quit”. Yes, faith doesn’t give up. It keeps hoping, keeps moving, keeps trying until the result becomes a reality. It took Father Abraham 25 years before his faith became reality about a child. Till he died he never saw the multitude of descendants God promised, but he kept be...

TOPIC: Increasing Faith (2) (13) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 26 - 28 Acts 6. MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." BIBLE READING: Luke 17:5-6 “And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.” Thinking Point: Faith increases when we live in the consciousness of God with others. Today, the strength of the Lord shall rest upon us to do God’s will concerning our lives. There shall be no weariness nor tiredness, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen. In our study yesterday, we saw how our faith can be increased through continuous declaration of our faith, without doubting, and by prayer and fasting. Today, as we proceed on this same topic, our faith can be increased by knowing and walking in the will of God for our lives. One of the things that kills faith is speaking against the direction of God concerning us. When we apply faith to what God has not ordained for our lives, it will end in ...

TOPIC: Increasing Faith (1) (12) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 23 - 25 Acts 5:12 - 42 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." BIBLE READING: Luke 17:5-6 “And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.” “And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.” Thinking Point :  To increase your faith is to keep walking in faith daily, repeatedly. This week is blessed with the blessings of the Lord. Little effort, greater result. There shall be no waste but profit in all we do, in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen. Faith shouldn’t remain stable; it should keep growing daily, not reducing, because every confrontation comes at a different level. Yesterday’s challenges are different from those of today and tomorrow. Faith is the courage to walk with the Lord in...

TOPIC: Without Faith: No Pleasing God (11) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 20 - 22 Acts 4: 34 - 5:1 - 11 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." BIBLE READING: Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Thinking Point:   Faith: The Link Between Man and God, The Door to Accessing God It’s another new week, another fresh grace, new mercy, and new direction from the faithful God. We ascribe all the glory to the Most High God. Faith has been our focus for some days, and I believe the Lord has revealed Himself to us through these topics. Today, we are speaking on the importance of faith. Why do we need it? Does it really matter? Yes. Faith is one of the most important instruments to enjoy our walk with God. Faith is that key to the heart of God. It is the connecti...

TOPIC: WHAT FAITH DOES: Wrought Righteousness (10) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 16 - 29 Acts 4: 1 - 33 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." BIBLE READING: Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Thinking Point: Faith is the key to stand for righteousness in a world of cruelty. It’s another weekend, which shows that God has been faithful. He made His wonders work in our favor, reminding us that we are His sons and daughters. From the depths of our hearts, regardless of how the week looked, let’s say to Him: “Father, I thank You for this weekend again. You deserve my praise.” God’s faithfulness isn’t measured by what you earned this week, but by His life that still remains in you. Thank Him ...

TOPIC: WHAT FAITH DOES: Subdued Kingdom (9) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 12 - 15 Acts 3: 1 - 26 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." BIBLE READING: Hebrews 11:32-33 “And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions” Thinking Point: Faith is the key meant for subduing nations and authorities. A man of faith is a man who can transform nations. We must build our faith individually before we can build others’ faith. Yesterday we talked about sharing the result of our faith in order to build others. When people recognize the level of your faith, they lean on you to grow theirs. They want to hear you to increase their faith.  When your faith becomes what others use to d...

TOPIC: INGREDIENTS OF FAITH: Testifying (8) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 8 - 11 Acts 2: 22 - 47 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." BIBLE READING: Romans 10:15   “And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”” Thinking Point:   Faith is not complete until you speak to others about your experience. Every issue where you applied faith will become a testimony. Faith doesn’t fail or fade. Faith lives and reproduces. So shall it be in our lives, in Jesus’ name, Amen. We’ve discussed four ingredients of faith. Today we see the last: Testifying Your Faith. Three days ago I taught “Speaking Your Faith”. Testifying is telling others the result and outcome of your faith.  Preaching is telling what God has done for you and what He can do for them if they believe. You don’t p...

TOPIC: INGREDIENTS OF FAITH: Act On Your Word : (7) One Year Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 5 - 7 Acts 2: 1 - 21 MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 11:1. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." BIBLE READING: James 2:17-18 “17. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” Thinking Point:   Faith without steps is just talk. Action proves your belief is real. The Holy Spirit is enabling us today to do all things right in a way that will glorify God, in Jesus’ name, Amen. I welcome you to the continuation of our study, “Ingredients of Faith”. We now proceed to the fourth ingredient, which is “Taking Action” — the most important aspect of faith. Our actions are proof that we are expecting change in our lives.  Many speak what they believe but never act on it, which makes it remain a wor...
