Bible verse: Leviticus 26:21
And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven
times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

Lesson
Fact is, no laws can be effective unless penalties are imposed when they are violated.
With the gruesome warnings and penalties stated in the Pentateuch - especially in Leviticus 26:21-37 and Deuteronomy 28:15-60, God sets up a motivative system so we can work in righteousness, have abundant blessed life, not fall into the net of Satan and how to avoid HIS wrath.
The cursings of these chapters are virtually a reversal of the promised blessings.

On the other hand, God is teaching you the principles of discipline which can be spelt out as follows:
- Keeping in mind what purpose your discipline is intended to serve.
God's intention is love, obedience and fellowship.
- Making sure that rules and their consequences are clearly defined and communicated.
- Making sure that your rules include both positive and negative consequences (rewards for obedience and penalties for disobedience).
- Not promising consequences which you cannot or won't produce.
- Be consistent and obligated to follow through, to keep your word regarding your requirements; Letting your yes be yes and no be no.
- Always give assurance of your love, hope for restoration and encourage repentance.

God always give us the assurance of his love, his mercy, favor and grace if we repent of our iniquities.

Prayer
No good life comes without right discipline. Give me the grace, O Lord, to impose it upon myself in Jesus name.
Help me to discipline my tongue, my thinking and actions, to do what is right, to do the best I can and leaving the rest to You to accomplish in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Deuteronomy 28:63
And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Lesson
The churches at this end time only preach prosperity, favor of God, blessings etc but are failing to teach believers what can lead them to becoming illegal aliens in the kingdom of God.
My people are perished due to lack of knowledge.

If we are counting on the privileges and rewards which the faithful shall receive, we should also count on the punishments God attached to misconduct and disobedience.
The coin has two sides, good or bad; obedience or disobedience; blessings or curses.
You receive blessings if you "walk in the statutes of God, and keep his commandments" OR curses if you "will not hearken unto God, and will not obey His commandments".

Yes! God sets before you two alternatives - obedience or disobedience. You have the freedom to choose.
As for me and my family, I choose to serve and be obedient to God.

We shared already some destroying factors of righteousness and the rewards of walking in God's statutes.
But what value is:
- plenty if you have no peace?
- prosperity if you have no protection?
- wealth if you have no power to overcome?
- to have the whole world but miss eternal life?

"Fear not" saith the Lord and let us share the scriptural knowledge of the curses attached to unfaithfulness and disobedience to the Laws of God.

Prayer
Dear Lord, as the eagle flieth, grant me the ability to fly away from destruction, disobedience, ungodliness and all factors of the devil that will hinder me to walk in your statutes in Jesus precious name.
Establish me strongly in the spirit and give me the special grace to live a holy life in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Leviticus 26:5
And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely

Lesson
This is no journalistic gimmick but true promises of God for those who will obey His words.
This will result from obedience, and is not achieved by direct pursuit or personal knowledge.
Once you have walked in obedience and taken steps of faith, the Lord is delighted to grant you the very things you are striving for (Lev 26:4-13).
To give you:
- plenty (Lev 26:4,5)
- peace and rest (Lev 26:6)
- protection (Lev 26:6)
- power to overcome (Lev 26: 7-8)
- prosperity (Lev 26:9)
- abundant provision (Lev 26:10)
- His presence (Lev 26:11-12)
- freedom (Lev 26:13)

God loves you and His presence with you is the pledge of prosperity, progress, protection, purity, power and unmerited blessings.
Satan hates you and desires to keep you from these blessings

Prayer
God, you have promised incredible affirmation of your will, covenant and your call in my life; let me be constantly alert and obedient to your word, grant me the courage to walk in faith in Jesus name.
Holy Spirit, direct me, so that the loveliness of the Lord, our God, shall rest upon me in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Lesson
We must always look to God as the source of all blessing because He alone has the power to bless.
While His love is unconditional, His blessings are conditional; attached to His commandments.
Therefore, His blessings must be secured by a life of kindness, self-control, total submission and obedience.
When we live to please God and according to His will, His blessings will surprise us.
Yes! He will pour out a blessing upon you , that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
- supernatural promotion and increase
- honor in the midst of adversaries
- fight and win of battles - physical and spiritual.
- great and unusual victories even against impossible odds
- get petitions granted, even by ungodly civil authority
- restoration of things the enemy has stolen
- change rules, regulations, even laws if necessary to your advantage
The list are very very long.

Prayer
Thank you Lord for your presence and favor that has produced uncountable and unmerited blessings in my life.
Thanks! that you make Your face shine upon me and lifted me up physically and spiritually.
May the supernatural anointing power of God touch every area of my life, cleanse me, make me obedient to His word and grant me peace that supersedes all understandings in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Lesson
We are called to seek justice, free people from the bondage of self destruction, defend the oppressed, vindicate the cause of the fatherless and pursue charity and love for our brethren.

Therefore you are to evaluate your relationships with your brethren in the kingdom of God.
- Are you at peace with others?
- Have you asked forgiveness for your wrongs and granted forgiveness to those who have wronged you?
- How do you contact, coop with and preach to those with a proud heart?
- Do you privately slander your brethren and/or your neighbor?
- Do you think of others needs and how you can serve them?
- Do you enjoy sharing in the things of God with His people?
- Do you associate with those who work deceit or tell lies or gossip?
- Do you really feel bad for not loving God with your whole hearts of turning your neighbors away?

Let us therefore take ownership of those behaviors, misdeeds, disobedience and other sins that have become a barrier between us and God and let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit.

Prayer
Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
Oh Lord, Let me not have reason to provoke your anger rather grant me the spirit of seeking justice and peace in your kingdom and to always be singing praises to honour your Majesty in Jesus name.
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.

Bible verse: Deuteronomy 28:1
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

Lesson
There is a small price to pay for God to grant us his devine favor and to set us high above nations.
- Not allowing Satan to control our life and not to be conformed to this world.

Without the knowledge of the factors that destroy the favour of God in a man's life and taking sound preventive actions ; it will be difficult to walk in righteousness.
These factors include among others:
- Lack of faithfulness in the service of God; Noah enjoyed devine favour because of his faithful in the service of God.
- Disobedience to God; Obedience is better than sacrifice; King Saul lost his kingship out of disobedience.
- Pride - Satan lost his highly placed position out of pride; God will give grace to the humble, but will resist a proud person
- Stinginess and lack of giving; The widow of Zarephath, and the Shunamite woman gave sacrificially and received abundantly.
- All kinds of sexual sins and immoral lifestyle; Samson lost his supernatural power due to his immoral lifestyle.
- Prayerlessness; In prayer, we can lay hold of God's promises in His words.
Esther prayed, she found favour before the king,likewise Nehemiah prayed and received favor.
- Sowing the seed of wickedness; Adoni-bezek is a good example - a man will reap whatsoever he sows.

Remember! Narrow is the road to the kingdom of God and our Lord will always show favor to the righteous and punish the wicked.

Prayer
I denounce and reject the spirit of disobedience, pride, stinginess, prayerlessness and anything that will draw me away from the site of the Lord in Jesus name.
Blessing is your promised, Oh Lord, if I diligently hearken to the your voice; command your blessings upon me in my storehouses, and in all that I set my hand on so your name shall be glorified in Jesus mighty name.

Bible verse: Psalm 147:5-6
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

HAPPY NEW MONTH!
Thank you Lord for your guidance and protection over us and our loved ones in the past years, especially the last 272 days of this year and in the years ahead.

Thus saith the Lord concerning you:
In the first month of the last quarter of this year, you will experience the relief and remedy brought by mercy and peace.
Where there is need, our Lord, the provision provider will supply according to His riches.
Where there is self-doubt God will release a renewed confidence; you will go out in joy and be led forth in peace.
You are clothed with the garment of courage and boldness to be able to deal with the truth, and be committed to the kingdom of God.

Yes! Eyes have not seen neither have ears heard. You will be elevated and become a living testimony and a celebrity in Jesus name.
Go into the last days of this year and start praising and proclaiming the goodness of God.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Angels will stand guard over you in your going out and coming in.
