TOPIC: 7 PILLARS OF A CHRISTIAN: The Pillar Of Thanksgiving (1) One Year Bible Reading: Jeremiah 3 - 4 2 Thess. 3: 1 - 18 MEMORY VERSE: Acts 2:42, 46-47 "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers... And daily with one accord in the temple... praising God... And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” BIBLE READING: Psalm 100:4  “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." Thinking Point: The Foundation Of A Believer In Christ Is Thanksgiving In All Things And All Situations Today, your heart will be filled with thanksgiving and your mouth shall not lack reasons to thank God in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. I welcome you to another interesting series for our devotion this week as the Lord will be revealing what He wants the most in the life of a believer. Many of these pillars have been neglected and...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (14): Way Out Of Weariness One Year Bible Reading: Jeremiah 1 - 2 2 Thess. 2: 1 - 17 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: Isaiah 40:28-30  “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: Thinking Point: Walking and working with God In surrenderness is the only solution to weariness. The One who never faints nor grows weary is renewing our strength today, giving us a new beginning as we surrender to Him totally in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. Weariness is the drain of spiritua...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (13): Cause Of Weariness: Wrong Associations One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 64 - 66 2 Thess. 1: 1 - 12 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: 1 Corinthians 15:33-34. “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.” Thinking Point: Wrong Association Drains Your Strength More Than Good Association Does Today, every wrong association draining your strength is disconnected from you. You are released from every battle that is not yours in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. Weariness is a product of strength being used in the wrong place or for the wrong people. Wrong Association is another cause of weariness. Walking and working with people who only drain you of strength, energ...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (12): Cause Of Weariness: Overlabour And Lack Of Rest One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 61 - 63 1 Thess. 5: 1 - 28 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: Mark 6:31. "And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat." Thinking Point: Lack of rest and relaxation is not godly, it is overlabouring of God's temple. This morning, every trace of weariness traceable to overlabour is attended to in Jesus' Name. May you receive grace for balanced labour and refreshing rest in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. Weariness unattended to early enough can lead to spiritual backsliding and even death. When weariness is only treated spiritually without checking the physical...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (11): Cause Of Weariness: Spiritual Dryness / Lack Of God's Presence One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 59 - 60 1 Thess. 4: 1 - 18 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: Psalms 42:1-5. “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his counte...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (10): Cause Of Weariness: Going Against His Word One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 57 - 58 1 Thess. 2: 17 - 3: 1 - 13 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: Isaiah 8:20. “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Thinking Point: Going contrary to God's Word attracts weariness and darkness in one's direction. The mighty hand of the Lord shall redirect our path to His will in Jesus' Mighty Name. We are walking according to His Word for our lives henceforth, in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. Today, in the course of our study, we are shifting our focus to "Going Against God's Word" as another reason for weariness. It is important to know that God's Word is God Himself, John 1:1. Any dire...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (9): Cause Of Weariness: Cares And Worries Of Life One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 54 - 56 1 Thess. 1: 1 - 2: 1 - 16 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: Matthew 13:22. "He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful." Thinking Point: Cares and worries of daily living weigh down the heart and end in weariness. This week, every heavy care weighing down your heart is rolled away. You receive peace that passes all understanding over every burden, in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. Today, we are taking a step further to look at another cause of weariness: “Cares and Worries of Life." The pressure to pay bills and keep up with peers has cost many...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (8): Cause Of Weariness: Unconfessed Sin And Guilt One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 52 - 53 Colossians 4: 2 - 18. MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Thinking Point: Sin drains strength. Sin kills confidence and stops you from approaching the presence of God. This morning, every hidden weight of guilt and sin is lifted off your life. The mercy of God speaks for you and renews your strength in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. A wonderful new week to everyone. I felt the need to continue on the causes of weariness instead of starting another series this morning. Weariness is so important because confidence gets lost when it is not discerned early in life....

TOPIC: WEARINESS (7): Cause Of Weariness: Fear One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 50 - 51 Colossians 3: 1 - 4: 1 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: 1 Kings 19:4 “..., and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.” Thinking Point: Discouragement is a product of fear which activates weariness in the pursuit of purpose. Every trace of fear that has stopped our movement and progress is stopped today. The boldness to progress in the face of discouragement is released in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. Today, we are discussing one more cause of weariness; although not the last cause, it is a deadly weapon for weariness — Fear. Fear is seen as an acronym which means, "False Evidence Appearing Real" and I ...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (6): Cause Of Weariness: Laziness In Prayer One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 48 - 49 Colossians 2: 6 - 23 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: Matthew 26:41. "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Thinking Point: Being a prayerless Christian is an invitation to become prey and end up in weariness. This morning, whatever may be drying up your prayer life, I rebuke it in Jesus' Name. That spirit weakening your prayer life is cast out in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. Weariness is not a sudden incident; it is gradual. It starts from neglecting those points we've been discussing. Little distraction to serious distraction. Delay in taking actions, Comparison and Disobedience, but we don't take it seri...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (5): Cause Of Weariness: Disobedience To God's Instructions One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 46 - 47 Colossians 1: 24 - 2: 1- 5 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: Jonah 1:1-4 “Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.” Thinking Point: Disobedience makes every journey heavier and...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (4): Cause Of Weariness: Comparison One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 44 - 45 Colossians 1: 1 - 23 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: 2 Corinthians 10:12-13 “For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.” Thinking Point: Comparison makes your effort seem worthless while making others' work appear superior. I pray for everyone going through this devotional, may your eyes be opened to the value of your own labour. May the spirit to appreciate your effort more than o...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (3): Cause Of Weariness: Delay One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 42 - 43 Philippians 4: 4 - 23 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: Proverbs 13:12 "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick." Thinking Point: When expectations are delayed, weariness takes over the heart. I speak the life of God into you this morning; every trace of weariness is dried up. The might of God overtakes every sleepless night issue in your life in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. Weariness is not of God; it is what rules our heart as a result of unexpected situations. Yesterday we saw Distraction as the first cause of weariness, and today we are studying Delay as the second cause of weariness. First of all, what we term as delay around us is timely to God. We call them delay, but God knows them to be "...

TOPIC: WEARINESS (2): Cause Of Weariness: Distraction One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 40 - 41 Philippians 3: 12 - 4: 1 - 3 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith." Weariness begins when your eyes leave Jesus and begin to look at storms, people, and problems. Thinking Point: Nothing causes weariness like leaving your assignment to work at another person's duty post. This week, what we lacked strength to do before now, we receive strength to start doing. We receive helping hands and resources needed for uncompletion in Jesus' Wonderful Name, Amen. Welcome to the continuation of our teaching on Weariness. We saw what weariness was yesterday and we promised to study the causes of weariness from today. The first cause of w...

One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 38 - 39 Philippians 2: 19 - 3: 1- 11 MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” BIBLE READING: Isaiah 5:27. “None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:” Thinking Point: Weariness is not just in the body; it is tiredness of the soul. Today, every garment of weariness upon our life is torn off. We will run and not be weary, we will walk and not faint in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. This week, we shall be discussing weariness — the source and the way out of weariness. Before we discuss the sources, we must understand what weariness is. Weariness means to be exhausted, to faint, to be tired out completely. I...

TOPIC: REQUESTS AND RESPONSES FROM GOD (7): Healing The Land - Divine Reward One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 35 - 37 Philippians 2: 1 - 18 MEMORY VERSE: 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." BIBLE READING:  2 Chronicles 7:14 "...and will heal their land." Exodus 15:26 I am the LORD that healeth thee" Thinking Point: Healing is not the first thing God does; healing is the final reward for obedience. Today, wisdom to break long-time barriers is resting upon us in Jesus' Name. Revelation of hidden truth for our liberty is released upon us today in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen. The final response of God to King Solomon was Divine Healing — the reward from God when the first four conditions are met. The text says, "and will heal their land." Land...

TOPIC: REQUESTS AND RESPONSES FROM GOD (5): Forgiveness - The Restoration Of Relationship One Year Bible Reading: Isaiah 33 - 34 Philipians 1: 1 - 30 MEMORY VERSE: 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." BIBLE READING: 2 Chronicles 7:14,  "...and will forgive their sin..." 1 John 1:9-10 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” Thinking Point: Forgiveness is not God managing your sin; it is God removing it. Every limitation in our lives, marriages, workplaces, and careers will be broken off this month. Nothing negative will stand before us anymore in Jesus' wonderful name, Amen. We started studying God...
