Bible verse: Romans 2:1
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Lesson
God is saying, Hey, don't talk about other people, it's time right now to examine yourself.
Time that we stop thinking about they but instead examine ourselves and our minds because even those who are saved may be guilty of hypocrisy.
Faults in others I can see, but praise the Lord there's none in me - Examine yourself.
Abraham Lincoln said "you can fool all of the people some of the time, and you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time"
We can't fool God any of the time.

Prayer
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. - Psalm 16:8-9
Forgive me, Oh Lord, whosoever I have judged or condemned because your judgement is according to truth and justice.

Bible verse: Isaiah 56:7
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Lesson
God is calling His people to a place of proclamation of his word, place of His power, place of His presence, place of His majesty, place of partnership with His children united and having an expectation and a strong faith to experiencing His Power.
God is calling His people to come before Him with love and pure of heart, bringing an offering, praying, praising and worshiping Him in the beauty of Holiness.
Yes! He promise to make them joyful, by accepting their services, and comforting their hearts with the sense of His love, and pouring down all sorts of blessings upon them.

Prayer
I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness and make thy way straight before my face and show me your marvellous lovingkindness - Psalm 5

Bible verse: 1 John 4:20
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

Lesson
Relating to other human beings can be a messy proposition because it is complicated, frustrating and challenging to try to show and practice love.
Yet we are called to love one another, not with gushy feelings, but with deeds of loving kindness.
The way you relate and treat your visible brother or sister is the proof of whether you really love your invisible Father and cherish His promises.
You cannot love God if you hold bitterness, hatred, malice and unforgiveness in your heart.
- Love with Actions.

Prayer
Dear Lord, grant me the enablement to love unconditionally and make me a blessing to this generation in Jesus name Amen.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard my heart and mind through Christ Jesus - Phil 4:7

Bible verse: 1 Timothy 5:8
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Lesson
You are responsible for looking, NOT only after your wife/husband and children, but after your parents "and especially those who are the children of the house of faith".
Failure in your relationship and responsibilities, no matter your high level of knowledge; great speaking ability and sharp academic skills, it is an act of disobedience to God and denial of faith.
Yes! you are likened to an atheist.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I ask that you grant me the ability and means to take care of my responsibilities and grant me what I need to accomplish what is required of me in Jesus name

Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Lesson
The body of Christ - congregationally, denominationally and our individual body does not belong to us but to God and should be used for God's purposes.
Your body being the treasure temple of God, needs extra protection and we must be careful:
- where it goes;
- what it does;
- what it ponders;
- how it reacts;

Prayer
Oh Lord, let my feet go only on Your errands,
let my mind be judicious of and obedience to Your words,
let my ears be for You, listening to nothing of which You would disapprove,
let my eyes turn away from all that You would not look upon,
let my mouth not declare profane, untruthful, coarse, impure, vulgar, angry, irritating, jesting, slandering and gossiping words.
Dear Holy Spirit, prepare my whole body as a pure and holy dwelling place for God in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Psalm 9:18
For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

Lesson
The expectation of the the righteous will never be cut off. Your dream and vision shall come to fulfillment.
You will be remembered ie your business, ministry, marriage life, children etc will be remembered.
The expectations of your enemies will not come to pass.

Prayer
Remember me oh Lord and let the expectations of my enemies never come to pass in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Zephaniah 1:7-8
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel

Lesson
Looking at the calamities of the earth, it is sure that the day of the return of our Lord is at hand.
That Day of the Lord is an event that will bring judgment to the guilty and deliverance to the faithful.
A day of wrath, trouble, distress, devastation, desolation, darkness, gloominess, and salvation.
Let us seek the Lord, righteousness, humility, forgiveness, restoration and eternal life.

Prayer
Lord of glory, we hear thunder in Your speech and lightning in Your actions.
Free us from anything that might compete from our desire to live for you in Jesus name
