Bible verse: Exodus 15:11
Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

Lesson
Satan and his agents are going round seeking those he will deceive and devour.
But God, with his lovingkindness and for our salvation allowed His only begotten son, Jesus Christ to suffer and die for me and you.
Yes! everything God does is pure and good!
He loves righteousness and hates iniquity.
He is not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness because his blessings and mercy for you are uncountable.
He freely clothes you, gives you life, peace, strength, wisdom, joy and the air you breathe.

Let us praise him for His glories and excellencies, the blessings received from him, the grace & happiness he promised, what He has done, is doing and will do in the future.

Prayer
Father when I look back at this period of my life, your unconditional love, the joy, peace forgiveness of my sins and the fullness of your glory on my life, I say thanks you Lord.

Place in my heart, Oh Lord, a desire to please you and keep my heart from unnecessary fretting.
Let me desire to gain greater confidence and understanding in your love, grow in your wisdom and enjoy your peace in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Ecclesiastes 5:10
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Lesson
If your source for joy and satisfaction in life is your influence, possession of expensive silver and gold in great numbers, expensive luxurious cars, villas & mansions, parties, power and position etc, you're in for trouble.
You cannot receive eternal life with these precious earthly things.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

People might disappoint you, your spouse might fail to act in accordance with your desires and expectations, you might be condemned and rejected but if GOD is your focus, the source of your joy and satisfaction it is guaranteed that He will never fail you or let you down.

Let your goal be eternal life; therefore seek holiness and make God your source of joy and satisfaction.

The Scriptures is all you need to know how to operate properly and have sustained and abiding joy.
It provides solution for your peace, fulfillment, fulness of joy, the will of God and your relationship with the Father.

Prayer
Thank you Lord for been my rock, my salvation, my defence and that You are the only source of true satisfaction.
Guard me with the power to resist the love of things of this world. Satisfy me with Your lovingkindness, that I may sing for joy and be glad all my days in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Ezekiel 34:25
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

He will cause you to prosper, will eliminate every opposing forces and create trouble in the camp of your adversaries.
Yes! You will dwell in His utmost security, lie down in his arms, sleep in peace and safety so that you will be able to serve Him in righteousness and holiness, without fear of any enemy.

Bible verse: 1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Lesson
The search for wealth and things of this world by all means has given room to false prophets to spreading wrong news, deceiving and preaching the subjects of the world; capitalizing on the ignorance of many, scoffing and following their own evil desires.

Don't believe everything you hear because not everyone who talks about God comes from God.
Satan and his agents have disguised as angels of light, operates in false religion, in lies and deception and have a perfect knowledge of the Scriptures.
Yes! false prophets and the world are in perfect agreement. Do not be lured with the preaching of riches and prosperity.

You are to test the spirits by carefully weighing, examining and evaluating what they teach and check if their doctrines agree with God's doctrines by searching & examining the Scriptures.
Remember your primary goal should be eternal life.

So you have to choose between God and the devil, light and darkness, love and hate, good and evil, eternal life and eternal hell.

Prayer
Dear Lord, You are not a God of confusion but the God of peace; help me to test every spirit to see what is truth or whether deception is being peddled.
Give me wisdom and understanding to discern the difference between truth and error and cloth me with an understanding heart in Jesus name

Bible verse: Matthew 6:25
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Lesson
Jesus is telling you not to worry about material riches but to concentrate on important things in life - eternal life.
You are not capable of handling tomorrow's challenges. Yes! you have no control over the future.
Worrying about the future only distracts you from the presence of God, removes your focus from Him and from making Him your 1st priority.
God promised to care for you and he has the power to deliver that promise.

Let your undivided attention be given to seeking God's rule in your life and let tomorrow take care of itself by trusting in God.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all other things shall be added unto it.

Prayer
O Lord, I beseech thee to deliver me from worry, anxiety, and fear of the unknown future.
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings; teach me to walk in blameless and supply those physical needs that might be a source of distraction from you in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Lesson
God's primary principle to His rule and regulations is: "Obey Before Complain".
If you trust the Lord our God, you will obey Him each and every time.
Being obedient does not mean that you will never face difficult times.
But if you commit your live to the Lord, acknowledge him for His sovereign power, wisdom, kindness and grace and He will direct your paths.

Don't worry, or be fret about any challenges because they are issues God has already dealt with.

Prayer
Give me a heart, Oh Lord, that is willing to obey you, acknowledge you and to respond in faith to the wisdom you give me.
Help me to trust you as I make my decision and let love and faithfulness never leave me in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Deuteronomy 31:8
And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Lesson
We are encouraged to live righteously, being content with what we have, because the Lord has said, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee".
When your are facing challenges and strong wind is blowing you should not fear because He is going before you for rectification.

He has done marvelous things in your life; been saving you from destruction and plans of the enemy; has filled you with love, peace and courage.
Yes! our Lord will accomplish whatsoever He has started in your life.
Walk in righteousness and diligently obey the laws and principles of the Lord.

Prayer
Oh Lord, I am grateful for your presence and guidance. Without you I cannot be who I am.
Remove from me every prideful self-seeking motive and any hindrance in my heart that will cause you to forsake me.
I guard myself with Your spiritual armor in Jesus name.
