THEME: Thou Anoints My Head.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”
Psalms 23:5.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Psalms 133:2-3
“It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
David said, “Thou anoints my head with oil, and my cup runs overflow.” The truth is that, David experienced dryness at the tender age, while he was nurturing his father’s flock. His wilderness experience exposed him to many dangers and he was able to note, the importance of freshness and refreshing season please. The fatigue of tendering livestock in a dusty, windy environment and dangerous wilderness, full of wild animals.
Notwithstanding, Anointing is the impartation of grace and gifts, flowing from the head, to the toes. Mostly, for supernatural abilities by God.
More so, the Psalmist says: “O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, *thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.”* (Psalms 140:7) Invariably, anointing serves as a covering in the day of battle. This was David’s testimonial against the Lion and the Bear attack.
Furthermore, as anointing guarantee sure protection from God against the enemies. In it God commands His blessings. A declaration made by God concerning you and I saying: _”Touch not my anointed, and do my prophet no harm.”_(Psalm 105:15) To be anointed is to be set apart for a special assignment. It is to be endowed with virtues, opportunities, and an elevation to a higher office or position.
Conclusively, when the anointing on David’s head manifested, he moved sporadically into greater glory and fulfilled destiny. You and I need to call on God, daily to anoint our heads for greatness, once it is done, you are unstoppable. This day, may you be anointed for greatness in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
Thou O Lord, anoint my head for greatness.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please let me not run out of fresh oil. Anoints my head with grace and favour that will propelled me into greatness and destiny in Jesus name. Amen.

THEME: Key Into The Vision. IV.

MEMORY VERSE:
“I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.”
Genesis 46:4.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Genesis 46:2-4.
“And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation: I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Vision preempts success that is borne out of revelation or conception. Yesterday, we considered Habakkuk’s determination to watch and get set, moreover his preparedness for the vision of great time to come.
However, our desire to be the best, we want to be, is of no doubt that we believe greatly in ourselves. Knowing that, _”if we can think it, we can achieve it.”_
Meanwhile, at a time pass, Jacob after learning of Joseph’s demise, would have wished that the hands of time, could be turned back, and him seeing Joseph again, hale and hearty in his arms. Beloved, there is hope, you just keep hope alive, you can never tell, what surprise God has in-store for you.
Furthermore, in our today’s text, God reiterates his plans to make Jacob, a great nation, even in a strange land. Dear friend, what is that good vision of yours concerning your life, your family, your community and the church of God? Beloved in Christ, be determined to key into it, till it comes to pass.
Conclusively, no matter how long it takes, for your good vision to be realised, don’t forget that God is with you. He is ready and willing go with you, all the way. May God continue to be with you always as you desire greatness in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
If God be with me, who can be against me.

PRAYER POINT:
Father please, continue to keep me in your love all the days of my life. May I not loose the sight of your presence, as I pursue my vision of greatness in Jesus name. Amen.

THEME: Key Into The Vision. III.

MEMORY VERSE:
“For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 12:24.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Habakkuk 2:1-3.
“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
The last part of this series, dwelled on the divine purpose concerning vision. We highlighted two of this purposes: They are directional purpose; basically to give directive on the way to go, at any given time and charge purpose; which is to admonished and encourage the beloved not to relent, but to continue the good work.
However, our today’s text reveals prophet Habakkuk’s determination to watch and get set for what God is set to do. And how to key into God’s instructions.
Nevertheless, God informed him to take good note of the already given divine revelations. For its manifestation, is for a set time. A time allotted for its fulfillment and realisation.
Furthermore, although it may seem eternity to be realised, just wait for it. It will surely come to pass, wait patiently for it. God will not lie and that He had promised to do, He will do at the appointed time.
In conclusion, our memory verse expressly stated the mind of God. Saying: “In the midst of the people of God, there will be no vain vision. A vain vision, is that vision, that has no purpose, a vision that has no positive impact, and it is not from God. May God bless you with a purposeful vision this season in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I have a purposeful vision with a set time to manifest.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, you are the God of purpose. Help me Lord, to wait patiently for my purposeful God-given vision to manifest in Jesus name. Amen.

THEME: Key Into The Vision. I.

MEMORY VERSE:
“After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.”
Genesis 15:1.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Acts 16:9-10.
“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Vision is an ideal or a goal toward which one aspires. Also, it can be defined to be: A religious or mystical experience of supernatural appearance. Therefore, in this new series, we shall be looking at vision from both angle of personal idea and mystical experience.
Vision can be referred to as, ” _What you perceives to be a great ideal, you aspire to achieve.”_
More so, vision can be, “Divine revelation, about the things to come, given in preparedness for its fulfilment.
Furthermore, vision can be classified into categories: Divine Vision, Personal Vision, Community Vision, Inherited or Acquired Vision and so on.
Conclusively, as children of God, vision serves to align us, with the divine plan and purpose. It acts as a guide to a better future, if properly followed and embraced. May God help us, to continue to key ourselves to divine relevation and vision in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I am a visionary leader in my generation.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, help me to uphold the divine revelation through vision. And may I not loose my vision in Jesus name. Amen.

THEME: The Haunted Ones. VI.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.”
Acts 7:60.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Acts 7:57-59.
Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we saw a group of zealous people; who openly professed that they will not eat nor drink, till they had killed Paul. However, Paul used to be this zealous, going from one place to the other killing people who followed the new way.
Moreover, before Paul’s conversion, he was an ardent supporter of the Jewish tradition, that kicked against the new way. And Paul was the commandant that signed Stephen’s death warrant and confirmed it’s execution.
Meanwhile, at the point of death, Stephen’s death seems inconsequential to his executors, but the effect of it was severe on them, in no distant time.
Notwithstanding, Stephen was stoned, he was in great agony, he saw the end of his life coming faster and he prayed to God to receive his spirit, a prayer which God honour immediately.
Conclusively, our memory verse, points out the great virtue portraits by Stephen. He emulates Jesus on forgiveness by forgiven his executors. The truth is that, _’When you forgive those who sinned against you, you receive forgiveness from God.’_ (Matthew 6:14) May you receive grace to forgive those, who haunts or persecute you in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
Forgive us as we forgive, those who trespass against us.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, you are a loving God. Help me to show love to all, irrespective of their attitude towards me. And oh Lord, give me grace to forgive those who sins against me in Jesus name. Amen.
