THEME:
Take Your Cross And Follow Me. I.

MEMORY VERSE:
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
Mark 8:36.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Mark 8:34-35 .
“…Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Today, Jesus Christ reminds you and I what we need to do in order to be a true follower of him. Don’t forget that, the only way to the kingdom of God is through Jesus, and for a man to be a partaker of the kingdom of God, all the necessary steps must be taken. *”If any man will follow me, he must deny himself.”*
Nevertheless, the word *”Deny”* means to _”Disavow any connection with something else, to state that you are not connected in any way with whatever is in view.”_ Denying self means that, we repudiate our natural feelings about ourselves, i.e., our right to ourselves, our right to run our own lives. We are to deny that we own ourselves.
More so, it connotes that, we do not have the final right to decide what we are going to do, or where we are going to go per time. Beloved, If you are going to follow Jesus Christ, you no longer own yourself. He has ultimate rights; He has the Lordship of your life. So you no longer, need to worry yourself; He makes those final decisions concerning you.
In conclusion, the next thing is carrying your cross daily, the word Cross, does not mean things like sickness, trial or hardship alone, as many people would use the phrase *”That’s my Cross.”* The Cross stands forever as a symbol of those circumstances and events, our experience which humble us, expose us, offend our pride. Things that shape you into whom God wants you to be. You need to accept it, cling to it and glory in it. May you receive strength to take up your cross daily and follow Jesus without looking back 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:
Dear Lord, thank You for all You have done and all that You will do for me.

PRAYER POINT:
Most Gracious Father, I worship you today. Oh Lord, I pray that You will give me, the strength and the zeal to daily follow You and obey all Your instructions in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
Salako I. Eunice.

THEME:
Serious Facts About Sin.

MEMORY VERSE:
“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”
Isaiah 59:2.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Romans 6:6.
“Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Sin is simply a departure from God. It is a disobedience to Divine and moral rules or commandments. And the more reason the scripture says in Romans 3:23, *”For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”* Because sin removes God’s glory from the life of a sinner.
Meanwhile, looking at the implication of sin in the life a believer, our today’s text admonish us to strive and fight hard through the grace of God, in order to destroy sin in all totality, hence, you remain servant of sin. Sin is the number one antic of Satan to enslave mankind and rob human of God’s glory.
More so, Isaiah expressly reveal that, sin bring about separation between God and man. Through which God seems to be far away, hidden and unreachable.
Nevertheless, the fact remain that, sin makes sinner’s God’s enemies, sin rob sinner’s of God’s glory, sin makes sinner’s slaves to Satan, sin makes sinner’s prayers unanswered and finally sin condemned sinner to eternal damnation.
In conclusion, as you consider these facts about sin, do ensure you do the needful, in order to reign over sins and temptation that drive sins about your life. May you receive grace to reign over Sins 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 grace and mercy of God, I will overcome Sins and temptations.

PRAYER POINT:
Merciful and Loving Father, you eagerly await the return of sinners. Please Lord, shine your light over my heart, that all hidden and besetting sins maybe revealed and destroyed from my life in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Seeds Of The Righteous.

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6.

Psalms 37:25-26.
“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Seeds of the righteous are offsprings of the believers, capable of growing into maturity in the things of God in righteousness. These are the descendants of faithful people, who themselves remain faithful and ready always to please God. A generation that extends the hands of God to the future generations of faithful people.
Meanwhile, the seeds of the righteous are the Children of faithful believers, these are people who believe and follow Divine instructions as given by their progenitors. For instance; Isaac followed Abraham’s pattern or lifestyle, so also Jacob emulate Isaac’s good deeds. Not forgetting that, *”…but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.”* Proverbs 11:21.
Notwithstanding, as children of God, we are under a covenant of divine provision and protection, this our children must enjoy also. For Scripture says, *”If you been fathers know how to give good gift to your children how much more your heavenly Father.”* (Luke 11:13) Let your ward know that, “No matter the chaos and storm happening around you, once you’re a child of God, you won’t be put to shame. The enemies cannot overcome you, for God will always be there for you and to deliver you from all harms.”
Finally, the seed of the righteous (believers) live without fear, they always proclaim unquestionable faith in Christ Jesus, to the glory of God, the Father. In whom they never beg, nor lack anything good in their lifetime. May you not break God’s covenant of love over your life in Jesus name. Amen.
