THEME:
Defeated Enemies: Principalities And Powers.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”
Colossians 2:15.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Colossians 2:13-14.
“And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered sins and sorrow as two in one entity that steal our joy of salvation. We also saw salvation from sins and sorrow as the main mission of our Lord Jesus Christ. These enemies were defeated, as they were not exempted from divine judgement on Calvary.
Nonetheless, Principalities and powers are spiritual being, with satanic authority or evil that reign in the spiritual realm against spiritual and physical advancement of the beloved of God. It is good to note that powers and Principalities are also judged for yours and my sake at Calvary.
Meanwhile, our today’s text admonished us to remain dead to sins, after our trespasses are forgiven. For all the handwriting of ordinances from principalities and powers, that was against us, which was contrary to us, Jesus took them out of the way. Dear friend, do know that, powers and principalities are acquitted through our disobedience to God’s commandments.
In conclusion beloved in Christ Jesus, powers and principalities were not only defeated by Jesus for your sake, they were openly revealed and rebuked. Awareness of their operations with authority to subdue them is made available for the believers. “In Jesus name, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess Him to be the Lord.” Hallelujah! Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will tread upon snakes and scorpion, by no means, will I be hurt.

PRAYER POINT:
Almighty Father, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Please Lord, give me the grace to remain in You and never to loose my place and authority in Christ Jesus in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

THEME:
The Defeated Enemies: Sins And Sorrows.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.”
Isaiah 53:4.

TODAY’S TEXT:
John 16:20
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered death as one of the enemies defeated, through the sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. The agony of the physical death and pang of eternal condemnation or spiritual death, is out of the way, for as many that cling to the salvation won for them on the cross of Calvary.
Nevertheless, our today’s text thus remind us that, At a time, due to life’s trials and temptation, sorrow may come with weeping and Lamentations. Let’s not forget also that, disobedience to God can lead to sorrow too. As long as you repent and you don’t lose focus again, the end will be full of joy.
Furthermore, in fulfillment of the prophecy that heralded His birth, *”…and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”* (Matthew 1:21.) Jesus took our sins and nailed it on the cross, He saved us from the power of sin and sorrow. And reconciled us with the Father in heaven. A mission fulfilled through God’s love, in order eradicate sins and sorrows in believers life.
In conclusion, Proverbs 10:22 says; _”The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”_ When God decides to release His blessings on His people, it is always perfect and everlasting. It is without pain or sorrow attach to it. When He blesses His children, an end surely come to weeping and Lamentation.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I shall not be defeated by sins and sorrows in life. For, I am a Victor in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER POINT:
Merciful Father, in your mercy and love, uphold me not to fall into the power of sin. And please Lord, turn all my sorrows to joy and let me laugh over my enemies in Jesus name. Amen

Yours in Christ,

MEMORY VERSE:
“He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces…”
Isaiah 25:8.

TODAY’S TEXT:
1 Corinthians 15:54-56.
“So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
As Christians, many are the battles of life that we face on daily basis, many of which are mimics or replay of previous battles, won for us by our Commandant; Jesus Christ. Or a reflex of the enemies reprisal, in order to recapture the lost ground.
Meanwhile, our today’s text expressly declared that, time is coming when soldiers of Christ, will transcend to immortality, in order to continue living in eternity. May you and I not miss this opportunity in Jesus name. Amen.
Furthermore, through our Lord and savior; Jesus Christ, as Christians we rejoice in the face of physical death, knowing full well that, it is a gateway to our eternal inheritance. And in Christ Jesus, we defeated death’s agony and Victoriously entered into our forever joy and rewards in heaven. Beloved, Jesus died for us, that we may not die, the second death after leaving the earth.
Finally by grace, we reign not over physical death alone, but over spiritual death and agony. May you receive grace and mercy from above, to remain in God’s love. Most importantly, may you not miss the victory won for you over death in Jesus name. Amen.

THEME:
Spiritual Depression: Dashed Hope.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.”
Matthew 20:21.

TODAY’S TEXT:
John 21:2-3.
“…Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last part of this series, we saw there are times, God allow His faithful children to be tested. In order to prove their loyalty and respect for Him, even in the midst of heavy and severe temptations. Which is big enough to derail any carefree believer and the pressure from family and friends cannot be overemphasized.
Nevertheless, it is possible for one to be discouraged and depressed. For when what one hoped for, is shattered or unrealistic. May your hope, not be dashed in Jesus name. Amen. And our today’s text thus speak of Peter saying, *”I go fishing,”* and other fishermen disciples with him followed him, after the death of Jesus. At this point their hope was dashed, their expectations was shattered.
More so, the request of James and John’s mother is the pointer to the fact that, they were expectant, they hope for a great reward. And that, Jesus is to bring about political revolution in Israel of their time, a share of which, they hoped for.
Eventually, their hope of political gain was dashed. At a point, Peter declared that he is going back into fishing. And through the night of labour, they caught nothing. Another disappointment with failed hope. But thank God for Jesus’s intervention, hence, they would have lost out totally. May you not loose your integrity and labour in Christ Jesus in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
Through the help of God, my hope will not dashed, neither will my faith waiver.

PRAYER POINT:
Dependable Father, help me Lord, to always trust in you. And as I trust in you, may I not miss my divine moment of restoration and intervention in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.

THEME:
Spiritual Depression: Test Of Faith.

MEMORY VERSE:
“So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.”
Job 2:7.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Job 2:9-10.
“Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we observed that in difficult times, the unbelievers are so quick to mock a believer, all because they are of better advantage at that point in time. And the essence of their mockery is to make a believer fret and die spiritually.
Meanwhile, our memory verse thus reveals, that God often allow His children to go through test of faith or trial in order to prove their unchanging loyalty to Him. What are you passing through in life? have you checked to know whether it is a test of faith or as a result of one sin or the other?
Furthermore, If it is test of faith, God will endowed you with enough grace to overcome. And if it is sin, repent and confess to Him today, He will forgive and restore you back to Him. At a time, Satan spoke through Job’s wife, telling Job to curse God and die. But the scripture says in Job 1:22,
*”In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.”*
Finally beloved in Christ, let’s not forget that, all the plans of the enemy is that one should die, please don’t give in, stand firm and believe that God will surely see you through and your tomorrow shall be greater than today in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
No matter what may come my way. My life is in God’s hands and He will see me through.

PRAYER POINT:
Loving and Faithful Father, nothing is hidden before You. Give me Lord, the grace not to fail you in the face of life’s trials and test of faith. In Your mercy, uphold me till the end of time in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
